System of a Down revives 20-year-old Oasis feud with crowd chant during London gig

System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian used the band's stadium platform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London this week to lead the crowd in a crude chant directed at Oasis, reviving a feud that has simmered for more than two decades. Before launching into the Toxicity track "Needles," Malakian prompted the audience to chant about pulling Oasis out of their backside, a reference to the song's chorus about a tapeworm, according to Metal Addicts and Loaded Radio.
