Everybody's going to the party
System of a Down's "B.Y.O.B." won a fuckin' grammy for best hard rock performance! Kicking the asses of Audioslave, Nine Inch Nails, Robert Plant, and Queens of the Stone Age(no offense to them of course). Who would've ever thought they'd get so big. I feel like I should say something like "I've been a huge fan since back in the day when their second album hadn't taken off yet..." oh well I guess I just did. Rock on guys.
"The things that I buy are things that I like, not things that others like and that I wanna show off. I don't throw parties at my house, I don't go to movie premieres with my girlfriend. If I were nominated for a Grammy, would I go? Probably not. I don't wanna be a part of that scene. I don't like to walk on red carpets."
-Daron Malakian, System of a Down
"Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square
Was fashion the reason why they were there
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my
She's scared that I will take her away from there
Her dreams and her country left with no one there
Mezmerize the simple minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl"
