SOAD "Souls 2005"

[CatWoman]

This is the third "Souls" benefit concert that SYSTEM OF A DOWN has organized and headlined, and as before, the four band members — Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan — have earmarked the proceeds from "Souls, 2005" to benefit organizations that work to eradicate genocides across the globe.

I might go but I don't know, the idea of going to a concert on April 24th is a little weird....

I was at last years which I thought was the first time that it was on the actual date of April 24, awsome. They even sang a paul song in armenian.

Info on SYSTEM OF A DOWN

HI I HAVE BECOME A RECENT FAN OF SOAD I WOULD LIKE FURTHER INFO ON
THE BAND I.E ARE THEY MARRIED,HAVE CHILDREN. i HAVE BEEN ON SOME DIFFERENTSITES READING ABOUT DARON AND SOME SAY HE MIGHT BE GAY.
(IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME IF HE IS) I STILL LIKE HIM FOR HIS GUITAR PLAYING
WITH SOAD,THE MUSIC IS IMPORTNAT NOT HIS SEXUALITY.


CHEERS,ANDREA,MANCHESTER,ENGLAND.

Umm I don't think he's gay. I've seen him with plenty of girls, and he has a steady gf i think. If you want info just go to there main page.

About the other concert, sounds sweet, maybe if I can I'll stop by.

[andreaharris]

Hi,
This is for DSSTYLE. Thanks for replying to my question. I have looked on
Numerous sites to do with SOAD. And there is no mention of girlfriends/wives,children. So i take it they must be very private people.
Is Daron a spiritual person?.

Cheers,
Andrea.
