The joke got a good chuckle from the crowd, and it seems the band’s guitarist, Daron Malakian, enjoy it too.
Taking to Instagram, Malakian shared a clip of the moment and exclaimed in the caption, “Bet you didn’t know!!!! Bet you didn’t know!!!!!” He then added, “Somewhere between our first drummer and John, Glenn Close was tearing shit up on the drums for us!”
