system of a down / mars volta

bell centre, montreal

i went solely to see the mars volta, and on a stadium rock compromise at that, which i would normally never accept. i fucking hate stadium rock shows. the people i went with were system of a down fans. personally, minus a few early songs, i couldn't possibly dislike system of a down much more than i do. they represent the absolute lowest point of music in the modern era. they should be ejected into space. they should be erased from history. etc.

it's bad enough that i got stuck watching system of a down run through their watered down corporate butchering of already watered down corporate metal from a distance of 800 feet through binoculars. what was worse was that i missed the mars volta due to everybody else being a pothead and not giving a fuck.

i was pissed. a waste of time. a waste of money. and i haven't been to a stadium rock show since.
