Do the studio version with us. This was a shadow of it's true glory. I want to see you in it's shine. ✌

[@nickwatts1262]

I will never understand doing live versions of a song first. it'll always be lesser then the studio version.

[@chazbloom3924]

I wish he had done the studio version first as well - but there is something to seeing the energy of the crowd at the time that adds something to it.

[@nickwatts1262]

@@chazbloom3924 To me all the crowd does is add extra and unneeded noise. I can understand why some people like it, they wanna feel like they're there and all that but ive just always hated it. if I want to listen to a band play I dont wanna hear people screaming over it.

[@Nimurook]

@@nickwatts1262 I believe it's a mix of it not being copyright claimed when it's a live version, and to hear the band do their thing irl.

[@Juber777]

​@@Nimurook with how he pauses and talks about it, I think he will be okay 😊

[@AnAverageGamer18]

Also the studio version goes crazy! Would definitely recommend listening to it

[@just.knuckles]

I’m pretty sure I had read a comment on another video of him saying he does after the video.

[@mothermaclean]

Prefer the studio version

[@AnAverageGamer18]

I, in particular, would love to see more of this particular type of content! Especially from this band.

[@masteralaric]

The song was originally going to be called "suicide", but the label freaked that people might accuse the band for "pro self deleting". So the singer decided to change the name as a form of protest. The song is about suicide, but not promoting it. It's moreso through the eyes of someone contemplating suicide.

[@jasonhoffarth]

so then its called chop suey because they chopped suey-cide from the name of the song?

[@masteralaric]

@@jasonhoffarth yep

[@sassyslsgrl]

I'm addicted to this song... Never could tell you why it's sooo powerful for me, and sometimes I genuinely need it.

[@JS-hd7ip]

Let's get a re-up on this reaction! React to the studio version with us as well. You are going to love that one even more

[@mtgdragons7515]

As an 80s girl plus a rock chick I'm happy you listened to this song. Its been a top 10 hit for me almost since it came out.

[@CancerKicker98]

We broke him.... 😮 He's questioning!

[@chazbloom3924]

I felt your reaction to this so much. Went to Ozfest in 2004 - this was the band that played before Ozzy Osbourne after 7 hours of concert festival. I had never heard of them, and experienced this song (and others - the whole album is glorious) live. By the time they walked off stage, I didn't even really care about seeing Ozzy anymore, I HAD to know who this band is. Later, I bought the CD, and this song was the one that made sense to my brain. 19 years later, this song still makes sense to my brain. I loved your reaction to this, because you hit all of the feelings that I had years ago - from "what is this about?", to "amazing tempo changes" to "this guy can really sing", and also, this band is remarkably good live for having such complex music. Enjoy the rabbit hole, and I look forward to more of your content reacting.

[@TUNK92]

I love that you took a stage version first. The fans singing along encaptures their awesomeness!

[@The_Truth_209]

System of a Down are the best of all worlds when it comes to sounds

[@Rumpaldstiltskin]

Oh i finally found where you fell in love with system. Glad i stumbled upon your journey into finding new and interesting music for you to love.

[@mikepiccione886]

I got to see them in Camden way back in the day! It was an amazing concert experience. MARS VOLTA as an opening act, mabey check out some of their music😊

[@XxChubbs22]

I'm so glad you're finding these guys and Aesop rock and Tool and Coheed its been an amazing month you you my man.

[@Rycel2001]

One of my favorite things is when bands incorporate elements of traditional music into contemporary music. System of a Down brings their Armenian heritage to the forefront of their sound, making it as integral to their music as their politics. It tickles that mental itch when I hear fusion bands like Skindred, the Hu, and the Sidhe bring centuries of heritage into contemporary genres.

[@BillGD]

Most SOAD songs have lyrics with more than one meaning or interpretation. Lyrics are always recommended to look up either before or after.

[@alexrojo7301]

I believe the original song title was chopped suicide. But the record label nixed that. So it became chop suit. Love from downey ca.

[@stephenpartridge6021]

Loved the reaction bro , they got a great catalogue of hits

[@gegart01]

Like this live version so much

[@abucket14]

Almost all of System Of A Down's catalogue is a vibe; check out Holy Mountain, Ariels, or Toxicity (together with Chop Suey and the Zelda commercial are my favorite things from this band)

[@WolfSpike180]

S.O.A.D is one of the best bands in my opinion Serj's voice is just too good i would also suggest checking out his other songs.

[@kylesage-clontz]

I recommend "B.Y.O.B.", "Toxicity", and "Prison Song" for your next SOAD reactions. Their sound definitely has that Thrash Metal base, but you'll hear layers of the traditional Armenian music they grew up with, Rage Against the Machine's Protest Rock, and some Frank Zappa-style artsy/hippie weirdness. One of the most unique Metal bands out there.

[@abimyers2446]

I can't belive you haven't reacted to SOAD before! Definitely listen to the studio version, and the video for this song is awesome too. I would love to see you react to B.Y.O.B. and anything from Toxicity. I think you're going to love it all!

[@nickhaas9185]

He has, this is on his new music channel. He reuploading all of his music reactions from the past.

[@abimyers2446]

@@nickhaas9185 Oh! That makes sense!

[@johntarnowski9086]

I love that feeling when you find that song that connects to you

[@RedPillMode]

Great you listened this first. Official video is fantastic.

[@JacobG093]

Please react to the live version of Toxicity at Big Day Out. It's incredible and the lead guitarist plays guitar using a plastic bottle that was thrown on stage.

[@SurlyHannah]

Definitely would love to see more SOAD on this channel! One of those rare bands were every song is a banger, imo

[@Krebble]

I got lucky finding this gem among reactions holy shit

[@grumpycricket]

Your reaction was priceless! Glad SOAD hooked you.😊

[@uuasnyder]

Since I couldn't find anyone else mentioning it..... The 'angels deserve to die' line refers to the odd way that our society looks at death vs suicide. We see a clean cut young person die and say 'oh that poor angel, taken too soon'..... but we see a person die of a drug overdose and are like 'well, they chose to do drugs and thus killed themselves'. Thus, Serj says he cries for the angels that deserve to die.

[@Festus171]

I don't know how I missed the fact that you didn't do this before. Please dig deep into this band. Yes. It really might be the perfect song.

[@SirTheory]

I dunno if there's such a thing as perfection in this world, but if there is "Chop Suey" comes pretty damn close.

[@tbgamerdev]

The original name of the song was named Suicide but the title was changed i.e Chop Suey = Suicide cut in half

[@XxxXxx-nd3ci]

I just stumbled acress your video as i was going through soad songs and I have to say that I think you're great. I have subscribed and would love for you to do another soad song, any really but particually byob if you are rap fan :) their first album is rap heavy too :) B x

[@willkels9196]

With SOAD always have the lyrics pulled up, most of the time there is a deep message going on. They have Armenian roots and almost always have a great message inside the song. Also have a live show from 2015 System of a Down - Live in Armenia on, or around the anniversary of the Armenian genocide that is epic.

[@crystalspears465]

You absolutely NEED to hear the studio/ music video version!! Live is amazing but to get the full punch, you need to hear it clearly.

[@mikepiccione886]

Yes definitely more System of a Down cause they're great! but as an oddball let's throw in Danzig (mother)😊

[@stephenlindsey8262]

I had heard Chop Suey and Toxicity on the radio back in the day, but just recently started digging into their other songs. I don't think there's a single bad one I've heard yet! To me, their music is beautiful chaos

[@Rayvn7]

.....You haven't heard BYOB? Wow.

[@emerys4456]

do the studio version with the lyrics pulled up with us its a very good song, also if you look into the story behind the song its a good read.

[@MakeLoveNotWar687]

It’s cool to see you love my motherland Art I wish we had more in the us

Great reaction ❤

[@neugassh3570]

Toxicity is the perfect album...you would love every songs on it.

[@italianspiderman5012]

Oh boy system of a down is a wild ride, in my personal, humble opinion they are one of the most underrated bands.

[@KylePelletier714]

Please also check out, Aerials, Toxicity, ATWA, Prison Song, Cigaro, Hypnotize, Spiders, Lonely Day, Mesmerize, Soldier Side, Tenative, Violent Pornography, and of course the studio version of Shop Suey.

[@nicholasrader9958]

Love if you did more Manchester Orchestra. Their live stuff sounds so good

[@radioactive_moose]

There is a great mashup of this and Crocodile Rock

[@carolmillins9199]

Magnificence personified

[@wemustdissent]

I always assumed the lyric "self-righteous suicide" is a reference to Jesus's death on the cross which arguably he did willingly so a bit of an assisted suicide.

[@tommymorrison4774]

His a Oprah singer. And even is best friends with the guy that did the music for game of thrones... should see him do the Lamasters song live.... serge is king

[@theindustryexposed]

I was just listening to this on repeat earlier today. If you like this song then listen to "System Of A Down - Aerials" & Toxicity

[@andieolson5693]

We're diving in SOAD!? 💜🖤💜

[@Seasonofthesicc]

Please do “straight out the gate” by tech 9 and serj

[@artemisvoncourt7578]

"this may be the perfect song" wait until you understand the lyrics and what they actually mean

[@vladmoriendi]

I was just "like" number 666. Awesome.

[@jasonsmith666]

Is this a re-post? There's a version of this from 2 years ago.

[@jkoll42]

So Serj has followed a blended group of religions - iirc Buddhist, Christian and Native American concepts. My take on the lyrics has always been "self righteous suicide when angels deserve to die" is satan was a fallen angel and deserves to die but Jesus allowed himself to be killed which was not necessary (self righteous) if God just got rid of the devil

[@MagicalTrev88]

Gotta do the studio version. The live show is awesome but it's so chaotic a lot gets lost.

[@modulator7861]

DO I NEED TO STOP MY CHANNEL..? 🔥🔥🔥

[@DanPyjamas]

Are your old videos being transferred over? Is that what this is?

[@zipperadventures5487]

yes what they said listen to studio its even better but this is an amazing song

[@Rayvn7]

The funniest thing about Chop Suey is that it is about nothing and that is part of the reason why it is called Chop Suey (besides the obvious).

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

The solution is obvious, you react to all of System Of A Down songs and music videos. This song is about suicide, more specifically when young people commit suicide and some people say they deserved it, or it was inevitable. The "Father"part is about how Christianity condemns suicide victims to hell.

[@vanconojl]

do QUESTION! from system of a down next!!!!

[@Dejacoa]

Ok so this is my understanding of the lyrics. He is sing from the perspective of Jesus seeing how people today go about their lives droning away and not living. “Wake up, grab a brush and put a little make up”. This upsets him so he says to the people, “I dont think you trust in my self righteous suicide”. At the end he says “father into your hands I commend my spirit, father into your hands why have you forsaken me”. At the end of The Passion of The Christ Jesus looks up and says “father into your hands I commend my spirit. Why have you forsaken me?” So Jesus being upset with humanity and having asked when crucified is asking again “why have you forsaken me?” Almost like saying “this is what I died for?”

[@yipski9578]

Do I stop my channel lmao

[@carolynussery8189]

This song is about when people die of drug abuse or drinking " suicide"

[@imopen2]

Huge fan of soad but you gotta do the studio version of their songs first. It’s still great but they get very let’s say “creative” in live performance

[@joshuamcdowell1460]

I thoroughly recommend their songs Hypnotize and Deer Dance.

[@MakeLoveNotWar687]

God works in mysterious ways we know this best unfortunately 🇦🇲

[@michaeldeans329]

I read it as the crucifixion. That Jesus death was a self-righteous suicide. Because he could have prevented it if he wanted to. And the angel that deserve to die was the devil. Mostly because of the father and to your hands. I comend my spirit and be why have you forsaken me portion. but if you look at it all through the lens of the crucifixion of Christ, it makes a lot of sense

bro why u act like u never listen SOAD ? on ur other channel is like 20 react to this band, I don't understand

[@Rayvn7]

SE of these songs the are recommending are just straight heavy, with nothing musically interesting about them. Instead of these tired and non-contrasting songs like BYOB and Prison Song. You should react to Question next time you do SoaD. This song is much better, actually has a melodic part, and has a legitimate reason to be recommended rather then being "the one that might have been on the radio" or "the one that some non-fan has heard of". I am rather certain that Mr. Boyd's favorite Metallica album is not going to be Load, nor is his favorite Finnish metal band going to be one of the male ones.
