But luckily for their fans, System—vocalist Serj Tankian, guitarist/vocalist Daron Malakian, bassist Shavo Odadjian, and drummer John Dolmayan—took their catalog of era-defining, genre-changing hard-rock haymakers on tour this year across South and North America.PG’s Chris Kies connected with Malakian onstage at Soldier Field in Chicago ahead of System’s second show at the football stadium. Malakian and his tech, Patrick Lachman, explained how some color-coded Gibson, Ibanez, and Friedman gear give Malakian the fire he needs to burn through the band’s legendary set.0:00 - Mark Tremonti & D'Addario0:15 - Daron Malakian Guitar Solo Intro1:28 - Subscribe to Rig Rundowns!1:38 - Chris Kies Intro1:53 - Daron Malakian Running Into SOAD Cover Band in Chicago5:08 - History of Stolen Guitars6:46 - What Does Daron Malakian Need From His Guitar?9:36 - Songwriting Tools10:17 - Unexpected Guitar Influences12:29 - Pride in Writing 'Addicted to the Violence' Album17:11 - Musical Phases & Abstract Songwriting19:12 - Freedom in Creating Your Own Art20:31 - Gibson Flying V to Honor Albert King's Lucy21:29 - Daron Malakian Large Triangle Guitar Picks & Playing Style23:55 - Daron Malakian Guitar Solo 224:53 - D'Addario Players Circle Rewards25:54 - Guitar Tech Patrick Lachman26:21 - Gibson SGs27:28 - Daron Malakian Strings & SOAD Tunings28:20 - When Do Guitar Changes Happen?28:57 - Ibanez Iceman29:42 - Gibson Flying V (Honoring Albert King Lucy)30:10 - Gibson ES-35531:36 - Ibanez Iceman (Gold Binding)32:09 - Setting Up Guitars for Daron Malakian33:24 - Rack Gear35:07 - Friedman BE-100 & BE-100 Deluxe Amps36:29 - Speaker Cabinets & Speakers37:30 - EQ'ing Daron Malakian's Amps38:31 - Daron Malakian Pedalboard39:04 - MXR Smart Gate Pro39:47 - Orbel Babayan Controlling Daron's Effects40:45 - Daron Malakian Guitar Solo 341:58 - Joe Glaser & D'AddarioFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/system-of-a-downSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rrJoin D’Addario’s Players Circle for free today to start earning points toward free gear: https://ddar.io/pc-rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #systemofadown #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer

A new album, From Zero, was released in November 2024, followed by the single “Up From the Bottom” earlier this year, and this summer, the band tore off on an international arena and stadium comeback tour. Founding lead guitarist Brad Delson is still a creative member of the band, but has elected to step back from touring. And so on the road, Alex Feder takes his place alongside founding guitarist/vocalist/keyboardist Mike Shinoda, DJ Joe Hahn, and bassist Dave Farrell. PG’s Chris Kies headed to downtown Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to meet up with Mike Shinoda, plus techs Mark, Ben, and Tracy, to learn how the band pulled off their much-anticipated gigs this year. 0:00 - Wolf Van Halen & D'Addario0:15 - Mike Shinoda Intro0:59 - Subscribe to Rig Rundowns!1:08 - Chris Kies Intro1:24 - Mike Shinoda on Playing Guitar & Keyboards Live2:08 - How Does Each Instrument Inspire Mike Shinoda4:07 - Mike Shinoda on Approaching Guitar4:55 - Guitar Shopping in Nashville5:47 - Mike Shinoda's "What I've Done" Strat6:41 - Mike Shinoda on Choosing Guitars for Tour8:30 - Mike Shinoda on Recreating Album Tones Onstage10:23 - Mike Shinoda on Production13:06 - Mike Shinoda's 'Meteora' PRS Custom CE 2414:51 - Mike Shinoda's Killspencer Leather Straps17:16 - Mike Shinoda's "Given Up" Gibson SG18:05 - Who Got Into PRS Guitars First?19:21 - Mike Shinoda's Fender Blacktop Baritone Telecaster21:05 - Mike Shinoda's Evolution as a Guitarist23:20 - What Gear Inspired Mike Shinoda on From Zero24:44 - Mike Shinoda's Keyboard Setup29:24 - Does Mike Shinoda Have More Fun on Guitar or Keys31:28 - Ever Thought About Keytar?31:51 - MIDI Guitar on "Casualty"33:10 - Mike Shinoda's Solo Section on Keyboards34:40 - D'Addario Players Circle Rewards35:40 - Mike Shinoda & Alex Feder (Brad Delson) Rack Setups47:41 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) "Hybrid Theory" PRS49:36 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) "One Step Closer" PRS50:10 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) PRS DC3 for 7-String Songs51:52 - Setting Up Brad Delson's Gear for Alex Feder to Play52:48 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) Fender Rory Gallagher Strat53:51 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) Fender Custom Shop Strat54:44 - Brad Delson's (Alex Feder) PRS Cust55:48 - Coup Card Game56:00 - Picks for Brad Delson & Alex Feder56:23 - Linkin Park Tunings57:36 - Dave "Phoenix" Farrell Basses1:02:53 - Dave "Phoenix" Farrell Rack Setup1:04:11 - Joe Glaser & D'AddarioFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/linkin-parkSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #linkinpark #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear
