10 Things Only System Of A Down Fans Will Understand

6. Missing Serj's Hair

It's inevitable for musicians live performances to mellow a bit with age. It's just reality, the older the human body gets the harder it has to work and the less it's really able. System Of A Down are no different (though I'm still not convinced Serj isn't a god). They€™re still awesome live, but it€™s true there€™s a bit less intensity to the band€™s on-stage antics since their reunion in 2010. Interestingly, this is marked by the disappearance of Serj Tankian€™s long, curly hair, which may actually lead one to deduce that much like the biblical Samson before him, Tankian€™s capacity for wild performance lies firmly in his scalp. Not only that, but Serj seemed at his most eccentric during what one can only describe as The Hair Days, and though he€™s still just as brilliant as before, it€™s tough not to think back upon The Hair Days with nostalgia. That being said, if you really want to be a Serj's Hair Hipster, it's okay to miss his old-school Spider dreadlocks, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqZNMvIEHhs
