      Can only see them once because Ticketmaster adds another $36 in fees, but this only shows up after you’ve managed to get through the queue and if you think about it too long, you’ll lose your spot.

      Ah shit, sorry, they accidentally sold your tickets on their scalper site for $1244 (plus fees and taxes), but don’t worry, you’ll get a refund.

            We got the COVID songs at least? Don’t they still play concerts in Brazil or something?

              They play some, still. But not a lot. At least not in the US. They’re playing in Vegas in April this year and that’s it. I remember back the first time I saw them. Think I paid like $20. Good times back then.

              At current there is not much shot of an actual tour (Serj doesn’t want to) and there’s just been those two songs in 2020 since 2005. There’s always hopes or hints or speculation of a new album, but really it just doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.

    I’ll just book AAF for 10 consecutive shows where they’re only allowed to play the smooth criminal cover.

      One AAF concert and the rest is spent on $5 shots for every time he says “Talk to the Chewbacca! Hoo!” in Smooth Criminal.

      I’m kind of fond of some of their other tracks, but it doesn’t matter if I’m knocked out.

      The album that song is on is actually great and one of my favs of that era. I’d make them play the whole album and only that album.

      I was looking at it and it’s the only correct answer. Those are the only bands from that era that I go back to for more than just a nostalgia hit.

        There were a few other bands I wouldn’t mind seeing on there, like Slipknot does seem like they put on a good show. StaticX is a band that has a few songs I still listen to.

        But over all I keep looking at those three, and I wouldn’t be willing to trade them for any of the other bands.

      That’s my go to but another great lineup would be Slipknot, Mudvayne, and Static X/Drowning Pool.

        They’re definitely not a band that I actively revisit, but compared to most of the shit on this list they’re better than tolerable.

    I get the joke, but there are so many worse bands that would have been funnier lol I think a lot of people would pay good money to see Slipknot, SOAD and Deftones all in one show! Static X is still really good too!

      It’s a shitpost intended to troll metal fans. But I think most instead got distracted by the question and aren’t paying much attention to the troll itself. The values might be another attempt at inducing rage.

      Sorry, but my rage is being saved for the machine.

    Putting System and Deftones in the list is and always was weird to me. These are also the only ones I listen to so perhaps I’m not exactly objective.

    Honesty, understandable: I partly like about half of those listed… But I prefer listening to recordings at non-deafening volumes while not being surrounded by a hell lot of humans. Sucks to be an introvert, I guess.

      The surviving members have actually been touring with Edsel Dope (from Dope) as their vocalist under the stage name “Xer0”
