SOAD - Saturday Night Live

[winoman]

Can't believe no comments on this yet. I thought they were great - awesome. And I love the great number of times they managed to get the f-word out! New tune sounds good - looking foreward to the new album - any idea when out - must be soon...

Anyone else see them. I recorded it BTW - (as I did their first performance on SNL way back when...)

A slip-up by censors on Saturday Night Live stole the spotlight from
guest Paula Abdul and helped garner metal band System Of A Down
unplanned publicity.

The American four-piece performed their new single "B.Y.O.B" on the
show, complete with the bleeped-out refrain of "Where the f u c k are
you?" Though that expletive was censored, both singer Serj Tankian and
guitarist Daron Malakian were shot, close up, mouthing it. However,
the show's censors didn't catch the "F u c k yeah!" screamed by Malakian
near the end of the song. One of the show's cameras focused on
Malakian as he said it.

Several times, the word "f u c k" has made it on to SNL uncensored. Band
leader Paul Shaeffer was the first, when he said f u c k instead of
"fluck" on the program's 100th Anniversary Show. Cast member Charles
Rocket said it on a 1981 show and was promptly fired. Norm MacDonald
uttered an F-bomb during a Weekend Update segment in 1997, but managed
to hold on to his job. The first band to get "f u c k" past the censors
were R.E.M., when Michael Stipe sang it at the end of "What's The
Frequency Kenneth" in 1995.

I saw their performance on SNL. It thought It was hilarious.

It's so funny how that short guy with the long slippery hair screams and has that psycho look on his face. "Why do they always send the poor?!!!!!!"
