ABOUT THAT SYSTEM OF A DOWN “REUNION”? SHAVO SAYS “WELL, MAYBE NOT. BUT MAYBE.”

Our commenters seemed equally split as to whether they’d look forward to new System of a Down music or not… but it all seems for naught, as SOAD bassist Shavo Odajian — who started the fracas yesterday with a Tweet — kind of sort of but not really retracted his statement. Shavo’s original Tweet:

“Are you guys ready for System???”

And another Tweet posted early this morning, once again courtesy of Metal Insider:

About my “are u guys ready for System?”. I’m not sayin we are back but, if so? U guys ready? SoRry for gettin u guys amped. I’m just seeing

So in other words, either a) Shavo was bored and his original Tweet was, in fact, misinterpreted, or b) Someone spilled the beans when he wasn’t supposed to. I’m going to side with “b.” And Shavo, if this mess proved anything it’s that the answer is quite obviously, “Yes, people are fucking ready!” Myself included.
