I second that... The videography or cinematography (not sure of the proper word but) is pretty damn cool as well.

[@jasonsabbath6996]

Yes! I did hear a version with just vocals and drums and it was amazing as well! Just a great piece of music hands down.

[@davidsykes6584]

Serg Tankian is a voice you can easily become addicted to, he's a classically trained opera singer. Welcome the rabbit hole that is System of the Down, it's a great journey,

[@EAGLETV333]

Hahah these are 1990's 2000's era of rock lovers right here one

[@kght222]

serg is quite literally one of the best singers on the planet.

[@rekrn12345]

Serg is great but there is no record of him be trained in Opera and he has even said himself that it is not true. It is literally just a myth the fans made up for some reason.

[@liewithinsun]

He is Serj, not Serg, don`t do like this please. The most difference could be heard at russian language. Cause 'j" is pronouncing like [zj], but the 'g' in the most cases sounds like [ghe/gh]. And Serj is more Serzj, neither Sergh.

[@matthewcui7870]

Beautifully said

[@mjvdg4194]

“I cry when angels deserve to die.” The song’s about the societal standard that people who overdose or take their own life in some way are lesser. Even though depression can strike down the most beautiful souls. “Why’d you leave your keys up on the table? You wanted to” Indicates someone finding a clue that a loved one doesn’t plan on returning to their house. They’ll “grab a brush and put on makeup” because people often do makeup or wear a suit for their suicide. The singer knows that the dying person will be treated with distain by many and is lamenting it.

[@jonathanpeck5743]

I always understood the song to be about Suicide Bombing. Self-righteous suicide.

[@mjvdg4194]

See, to me “self righteous suicide" refers to people getting the idea that suicide is the one correct thing that they can do. Not intending to get too dark, but talking as a person with depression especially; it's common for people to believe that literally the only thing they can do right for the world is take themselves out of it. When even that is greeted with guilting and condemnation, what is there left? "Why did this angel deserve their death"?

[@StoriesbyIrish]

@@mjvdg4194 Ditto to all the above. That was my interpretation, too.

[@MarrasKuutar]

Agreed. Studio version is superior and even in live standards this sounded not so good.

[@hephaestus6605]

First time I heard of SOAD, I was at a fairly intimate venue in Denver and was there to see Clutch. My friend and I were hanging out at the bar and a guy comes walking up to us and starts talking. He had dreads down to his waist and neither of us knew him. We talked for around 20 minutes or so and then he said "Well I better get back down to the front with my friends cause the show should be starting soon and I don't wanna loose them." About 10 or 15 minutes later the band starts to walk on stage and lo and behold the guy we had just randomly spent 20 minutes chatting with walked out and grabbed the mic and they started playing. My friend and I just looked at each other with jaws on the floor in complete amazement as we realized we were talking with Serj.

[@magdakonop4566]

oh wow

[@stephanieparker5049]

What??????? WOW denver

[@8all8at8once8]

Aaaaahhhh !!! Daaaammnn🔥✊🏽🙌🏽

[@georgeputnam376]

And the recorded sounds awsome also

[@paledave]

In an interview, Daron Malakian explained, "The song is about how we are regarded differently depending on how we pass. Everyone deserves to die. Like, if I were now to die from drug abuse, they might say I deserved it because I abused dangerous drugs. Hence the line, 'I cry when angels deserve to die.'[6] The lyrics for the midsection ("Father into your hands I commend my spirit") were randomly picked out by Tankian from Rubin's book collection after Tankian was struggling for ideas.[7] The song was originally titled "Suicide" but Columbia Records forced the band to change it to avoid controversy.[8][9] The song title is therefore a wordplay: "Suey" is "suicide", "chopped" in half.[9] However, the band members claim this change was not caused by pressure from their record company; Odadjian said the band simply chose their battles carefully.[9] Most pressings of the album include an intro to the track where lead singer Serj Tankian can faintly be heard saying "we're rolling 'Suicide'" while drummer John Dolmayan is counting the band in.

[@walkerdrums1]

I’ve been an SOAD fan since ‘98, they were my first favorite band. I’ve always wondered what Serj says as John counts in!!!! Thank you for this😂

[@alexjeffries5276]

Original name for the song was “Suicide” but the record label didn’t let them use that, hence the title: “Chop Suey(cide)”

[@LiVApathy]

“Beautiful chaos” is absolutely the best way to describe this..well said

[@quikspecv4d]

Toxicity is another great one from them to check out. The studio version of Chop Suey is great.

[@FlipMystic]

The official MV for Chop Suey is great too and worth checking out on or off channel

[@boostedfoos2457]

Live version of toxicity

[@CraigKeidel]

These live versions are killing me. I wish he'd stick to the studio versions.

[@craigallen8988]

Overrated

[@peterwale6821]

I think SOAD's albums (like Pink Floyd albums) have brilliant songs throughout but need to be listened to in their entirety as each one is an experience.

[@bhelliom3]

"I don't even know how I feel" is one of my favorite reactions to SOAD. I feel overwhelmed and overjoyed every single time I listen to System, like my body is exploding with energy and taken on a journey as I go through any of their albums.

[@aprilmosley4471]

I wasn't into rock really prior to hearing this song on MTV back when they played music. But his melodious voice coupled with the strength of the lyrics captivated me and I fell into the rabbit whole.

[@nickradeke]

It's pretty cool what these guys stand for. They spend so much time making people aware of their homeland Armenian genocide.

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

@@nickradeke yeah, and we all know about it. It gets old real fast. We get it! There was a genocide. What do you want us to do about it? Talk about something new

[@paxkassandra842]

I think in an interview the lyrics " I cry when angels deserve to die" is in reference to the casual way people treat the deaths of drug addicts with an 'oh well, they had it coming' attitude

[@uuasnyder]

100% and the 'Father, why have you forsaken me?'.... how the '' tends to look down on or turn the back on those that fall prey to the internal struggle....

[@larrychang14]

@@uuasnyder That's an interesting interpetation. Those lines in particular are a lightly paraphrased version of what Jesus said when he was being crucified. In his pain, he had a moment of doubt, asking why his father had forsaken him and led him to this fate. I think the chorus line about "self-righteous suicide" is also referring to the crucifixion. I can definitely see the parallels with addiction though, thanks for sharing that.

[@fizzledwar]

Yes Daron Malakian said "The song is about how we are regarded differently depending on how we pass. Everyone deserves to die. Like, if I were now to die from drug abuse, they might say I deserved it because I abused dangerous drugs. Hence the line, 'I cry when angels deserve to die."

[@jotuthegamingguru8809]

"This may be the perfect song" "how do they exist? why do they exist?. I need to know more". This is basically my reaction almost twenty years ago at 13 years old. I had to catalog and learn every album/song of theirs after I heard Chop Suey. I love them all, SoaD brings something soo special that very few musicians or bands can bring. Tool comes to mind, but not many others. The subliminal and direct messaging all not only still stand to this day, but are even more so relevant. They are a timeless band that crosses all musical and cultural boundaries. They are a sound, a message and a feeling we can all relate to, even if only on a subconscious level. Welcome to the Fandom my man, definitely check out their earlier work. Some is a bit harder but they never miss imo and have incredible messaging. Prison Song, Sad Statue and Tentative are a must listen.

[@adamnope4577]

14 years later and this song still gives me chills.

[@derrickgordon2537]

The deeper you dig into this band the more you’re going to like them. Do the song “prison song”.

[@nickwhesker]

I was listening to Toxicity yesterday and was thinking the same thing. He would love the message.

[@e-mc679]

No band compares to System. An incredibly unique sound that is timeless. Enjoy discovering them for the first time, I'm almost jealous

[@B0BtheNinja]

"This may be the perfect song" Yup.. Chop Suey definitely a top 10 in my book..

[@igotarubberchicken]

Oh man I'm legit crying at your reaction to them! Heard this song as a teenager and I felt the same way! I became obsessed! Actually, SUGAR was the first of their songs I heard from a local garage band's cover...this started my obsession!

[@ChrisHendrickson82]

"It makes sense in my brain." That's exactly how I felt the first time I heard System of a Down. If you like this one, you'll love the rest of their stuff. Sugar, Jet Pilot, Spiders, Cigaro, Toxicity, I-E-I-E-A-I-O, I could go on and on and name their whole damn catalog. Always have the lyrics handy, because to call them often abstract is something of an understatement.

I was just so infatuated & how you said this band literally found the cheat code to perfection is what scared me being just a teenager with my own band who wanted to start something new & this band just humbled my ass back to the drawing board.

Just an awesome band that’s timeless & i feel are legends in their own right.

[@sofakingwaspinator3306]

if you like this you need to check out their track, "Prison Song"

[@noelv1976]

Toxicity as well

[@johnrhodes778]

Thank you sir for the wonderful reaction vid!! Now you know what it's like for us fans!!! A song that can make you feel and think differently with different emotional vibes

[@johnshinkle4219]

Your perceptive mind and your reactions always make my day, sir. I take breaks from work and sometimes I watch your videos. I'm sorry if I am rambling. Your takes on music always give me something to think about. Thank you sir.

The song was originally called 'Suicide', but it was too dark both in theme and title for the suits at the record label to be released, they wanted something more light hearted. So the band came up with a "new" song with a "silly" name to take its place on the album. Clever. It's a masterpiece.

Hmmmm, funny to hear/see another person's first time experiencing SoaD. A very eccentric christian kid introduced me to the band nearly 20 years ago. We were hanging at my place with some mutual friends, and all of sudden he mentioned a band that I had not heard of before. When I said that I didn't know the band, his face lit up - he knew that I was going to love the band, he had no doubt about it. And he was absolutely right. I like to think he enjoyed hanging around at my place, because I never judged him - he was free to be himself, eccentricities and all. I don't know what he's up to these days or where he is - last time I spoke to him his religious fervor seemed to have completely consumed him. He didn't have to say that he judged me harshly for not having faith in god, it was all in his eyes - I couldn't even see the person he used to be anymore. It was almost like he was looking through me, as if he was stuck in a nightmare or a dream. But I 'm glad he showed me SoaD. And I hope that he's doing well.

That sooo ironic because a church goer , who has been in the church nearly all her life also introduced me to this song about 15 years ago 😳😳😳😳

[@johnkchristensen]

I love System of a Down! This is such an iconic song! Thanks for covering it!

[@AnthonyGarcia-qb9ny]

I love watching your reactions to SOAD. I was a straight east coast hip hop head until 1997 when I was first introduced to SOAD and its still by far one of my favorite bands. Listening to them also opened my horizon to more hard-core music. Seeing you react brings me back to me riding in my boys jeep asking him to play "them crazy white boys" all the time.

[@ramboestrada-nz]

Do a follow up of the music video. It’ll blow you away all over again.

[@alexjeffries5276]

Really liked this reaction and your thoughts. SOAD is one of the only groups I know extensively their entire discography- would definitely check out the channel if you’re continuing down this rabbit hole 👀 Some of my faves: Toxicity Prison song Dreaming Suggestions Attack Aerials Hypnotize Know F**k the System ... the list could stretch a long ways! Haha

[@marsm5852]

I don't know how I stumbled upon this, but I gotta say, I love your genuine thought process. Some listen for the beat, and some focus on the meaning and emotions behind the lyrics. That's what makes makes music magical. You're awesome, I'm gonna subscribe:)

[@TheMystic1]

You're just a smile personified bro. This is in my top 3 songs.

[@DamienD94]

Aerials is another great song by System of a Down

[@obliv3on]

probably should have checked out the official music vid of this one, it's just a bit better imo, but great reaction as always, enjoyed it bro!!

[@williambartholmey5946]

More than a bit better. The studio recording is perfect.

[@obliv3on]

@@williambartholmey5946 true man ha its a lot better, was just saying a bit where i didn't receive swarms of internet warriors!:D

[@ragecrane]

Your reaction gave me life. SOAD was one of my first introductions to music. I highly recommend all of their discography, but I have to admit that "B.Y.O.B" has a special place in my heart ❤ thank you for recognizing the greatness of SOAD

[@williamsheridan4th]

Absolutely love your channel.

[@xanadu6784]

"Prison Song" and "Deer Dance" will give you this kind of sound with a Rage kind of message. If RatM is a scalpel, SOAD is a club.

[@Ryan21500]

I wore this album out when it came out.

[@johickey3158]

so glad you love these guys, mind candy with extra pep, vim and vigour :)

[@baronguitars]

Its soooo satisfying to see your reaction. "This may be the perfect song." Damn right. I chose to dedicate my life to music when I heard that at the age of 14. Keep up the good work MrLboyd!

[@sageofsquirrels111]

System of a Down are amazing and I'm very happy you vibe with them. There's much to love awaiting you and I'm excited for you to hear it all. Enjoy! #LoveAndPeace \m/

[@johnromero6315]

If you like this, then you'll LOVE the rest of their stuff. Especially Hypnotize or Soldier Side

[@marccote5494]

Love that you heard this for the first time all these years later. Amazing song I was amazed the first time I heard it.

[@sarahdavis9187]

One of the best songs of my lifetime. I'm glad you were introduced to this!

One of the greatest bands in the last 20 years, they aren't together anymore due to creative differences, Serj Tankian (Lead Vocal) is a composer now doing amazing shit with orchestra.

When checking out new music, _always_ go for the studio version first. You can watch a live performance later if you wish, but for first impressions it has to be the studio version, if one exists. I clicked this video as soon as it popped up in my feed, but as soon as I saw which version you were watching, my enthusiasm died. I love this song, it's awesome, but if this recording had been my first introduction to it, I probably wouldn't have ever heard it more than once. I'm amazed that you enjoyed this as much as you did, but _please_ go watch the official music video.

[@ThatHomelessScrubbalo]

This is the 2nd video ive seen of yours, and im enjoying them so far...

[@kennethmgreen1]

Few things online bring me as much joy as watching your smart, humble, curious, and genuine reactions to songs like this.

[@paulshaw9953]

When you get to Cult of Personality by Living Colour make sure you do the official music video, worth it
