Well here it is – other than our buddies The Darkness, System of a Down were the reunion that was on everybody’s lips here at Download Festival 2011. We won’t pretend it was the most energetic of performances – Daron Malakian in particular spent most of the set looking bored beyond belief – but it was spot-on note-perfect. When you’ve got tens of thousands of people singing along to ‘Chop Suey’, ‘B.Y.O.B.’, ‘War?’ and all the other bona-fide classics in the System library, you’ve got one hell of a headline set on your hands.
