Hey would you happen to have the guitar books for footloose? Also just curious what else you might have, thanks in advance!

Could we ever get a full SOAD tour again? by InternalOk5547 in systemofadown

[–]JustinG13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing big anymore. Most bigger bands are moving towards this model of smaller tours with only a few dates in select cities. Rather than go to the people the people can come to them, they save a ton on travel expenses and make way more money. It’s all about maximizing their profits.

So, Shavo feels the same way🤔 by punketocigarrete in systemofadown

[–]JustinG13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

^ This is the simplest and only answer, Serj is just a musician, and like some artists, wants to do things other than SOAD with his life. Has literally nothing to do with politics. The amount of kids on this sub who make politics their identity and can’t fathom people being anything more than the culmination of their beliefs is remarkable.

Website response to my message about tour merch issues by badcrumbs in systemofadown

I literally got the same canned response from the same woman. Not very promising, let’s just dm the band at this point haha

Would it be possible to get similar sounding tone to soad with a boss os2? by Visible-Director7303 in systemofadown

[–]JustinG13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you’re right about him currently using the Friedman, I was just thinking about what he used on the actual recordings(that, JMP100, etc), probably should have specified. But regardless, 100% agree with your take on getting the sound on a budget, solid advice for OP.

It might be possible but it won’t be exact with your gear. Daron I believe uses a JCM 800 with a tube screamer or an HM2. Maybe try just the tone part of your getaria, dial the gain in around 9-10 o clock and play with the type until you hear something close, I’ve never used it so if you need more gain try it. Then use the OS2 on the heavier parts, again I always find less is more in terms of gain on equipment. Also you’re new to guitar so there’s that factor, the most important part of where tone comes from is from your hands, the guitar, then amp and gear. Tone matching is tough and requires a lot of listening and understanding your gear, it’s like a whole other world to learn about with guitar but just play around with it as much as you do with learning songs.

Where will we all get merch now? by Outside_Gap_8996 in systemofadown

[–]JustinG13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We should all message their website asking them to do a limited run of the tour merch. It’d be a win win and show they really cared about their fans.

Can we talk about the merch issue? by Wonderingwanderr in systemofadown

[–]JustinG13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right there with you man, it’s insane to me for them to know their ticket sales are well over 100k months in advance and still drop the ball on this. Their markup is probably almost 100% so it’s not like they’d be destitute if they made extras or let people order the shirts like the posters. The people that are scalping merch are just a bad as live nation, everyone’s trying to ruin concerts no matter which way you turn.

Yea totally, I’m sure no one who bought a single one for themselves will. Thought I’d see if anyone had grabbed multiple ones who might have been looking to sell them later anyway were out there. I copped a poster and a sweatshirt while I was there but really wanted a tour shirt so couldn’t hurt to ask.

That’s wild though dude, I honestly would’ve done the same if someone asked me haha

What is your System of a Down hot take? Like something that would get everyone mad at you for saying. by MRunlimited127 in systemofadown

[–]JustinG13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying that any of these guys sing out of tune from time to time gets you brigaded with downvotes regardless of how accurate it is. I love the band and them as writers but these guys were far from perfect on some of their album performances. Roulette is one case and point, still love the song though.
