The UK crowd, though. You lot are mad. I saw a guy in a tweed jacket crowd-surf from the back of the O2 Arena. Tweed! His glasses were still on. It was pure, unfiltered British lunacy.
And the singing? Everyone knows every word, even the bits that sound like Serj is having a nervous breakdown in Armenian. You don’t need to understand the lyrics to feel the energy. You just need to nod along and hope you don’t lose a shoe.

The Venues: From Barnsley to Brixton
This tour was a weird mix, wasn’t it? They hit Birmingham, Manchester, and London, but skipped places like Glasgow entirely. Why? Who knows. System of a Down’s routing is as logical as a game of chess played by a penguin.
But the smaller venues? Pure magic. Seeing them at a place where you can actually see Daron’s facial expressions – usually a mix of “I’m having fun” and “I’m about to throw my guitar at someone” – is a treat. It’s intimate chaos.
