I was thinking, no way there's someone on this planet who hasnt heard at least a bit of this song lool! Great song

[@JacobWrestledGod]

I love your honesty. You didn’t pander to the fans for Toxicity, and when you hear something you do like, you managed to clearly explain why you like Choy Suey. One billion views indeed.

[@RPostVideos]

The daughter was telling me that the title of this song was originally Suicide, but because of the obvious reasons with that named they changed it. Someone told them to Chop Suicide and come up with something else... Chop Suey it became! 😊❤️

[@chrisdriver7776]

Interesting.

[@supermaximus646]

fakest thing i’ve ever heard

[@redgamer821]

​@@supermaximus646 It's true

[@markhammond4517]

It didn't stop Metallica from making their song screaming suicide

[@martyvoe2381]

​@@supermaximus646well, I feel like the band itself makes fun of the need to change the name in the video.. when they eat chop suey

[@legendofdeku8931]

System of a Down has an insanely diverse catalogue. They have a unique sound, and none of their songs sound they same. But they're almost all high energy and fucking tasty. SOAD was my gateway band into the metal world and I am so glad they were. They'll always hold a special place in my heart.

[@fabtech0771]

Waiting for the next SOAD reaction👌 Their drummer is one of the most skillfuls in the world

[@jodyunapologeticallymewest9964]

I loved system of a down growing up!! Them, linkin park, Metallica, hoobastank, blink 182, greenday and the list goes on and on...Ahhh, you bringing back memories!! My "goth" Era in high school lol black and red dyed hair, chains on my hot topic outfit, fish nets and boots!!! Lmao you couldn't tell me nothing!!! 😂 ahhh I love going down memory lane!! Now at 40, still in love with 🎶 Good, meaningful music!! Fyi, PROUD BTS ARMY HERE!! 💜 😊 Thanks for your reactions!! I'm totally enjoying your insight, respectful criticism, and most importantly honesty!! Cudos to u my guy!! 🫶🏽

[@MegaTechpc]

Glad you enjoyed this classic from SOAD! I’ve absolutely loved it since it came out over 20 years ago and I’m not really a big fan of the band (Aerials is also spectacular), but this song right here really changed my taste and perspective on music back in my formative years! It’s just so well balanced (between the heaviness of the verses and the softness of the chorus) and catchy as hell! There is literally NO surprise to me that Chop Suey has over 1 billion listens! Just a great song all around and definitely my favorite song by the band!

[@natecorning]

Love that last chorus where the piano comes way up in the mix.

[@oggreek9643]

For some reason, a lot of people don't realize Daron (the guitar player) layers/harmonizes a lot of SOAD songs with Serj.

[@aAaAaAaAaA1234567ize]

The fact that you heard only the most iconic part of the song and nothing else up to this point makes this video incredible

[@reddy069]

keep up these man, i really love how you break down songs and explain them, love it.

[@Antawnyoo]

Their unique harmonizations might be also be based on their cultural heritage specifically, armenian folklore.

[@ben1ben]

Ok now you explained the last missing piece about what I needed in your Toxicity reaction, I fully understand the way you see it now. Great Reaction. Check out their song Aerials (would be better _not_ to do the Music Video to Aerials) Aerials is also from the Toxicity album, such as Toxicity and Chop Suey. Oh and btw the Harmonies are Serj and Daron singing together Daron Malakian is the guitarist and also does many vocals, background vocals and harmonizing with Serj. In Aerials you will also hear them together. Aerials was their album closer

[@RobertLindabury]

Yup. I was thinking the same with Aerials because it's much more like this song and less like Toxicity.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.

[@dimitrakapa4887]

@@THEDavidHeretic hear SOAD more!! BYOB, and Psycho is two great songs....lost in Hollywood also!!! Please

[@heathkeim3394]

The last time you reacted to SOAD, I said their music is like Indian food. It needs to grow on you as it's so unlike anything you've ever consumed before...but alas! It will grow on you if you keep listening...and you'll eventually love it! Chop Suey is the Chicken Tikka Masala of SOAD. It's the most palatable to the untrained ear. Listen to it a few more times and you'll be ready for their other stuff. In all seriousness, I have to listen to each of their albums a few times before I actually begin to like them. Once that's out of the way, I listen to it nonstop for about six months.

[@blanewilliams5960]

Great reaction/review, David. I like this song and really enjoyed your video and a good score. Glad you liked it and thanks.

[@Valeria-wj3dh]

Sometimes I feel David lives under a rock. He doesn't know many of the most insanely famous songs 🤣

[@FergusonFiller]

just found your channel. started off with the devin townsend video. you remind me a lot of my late father. love the content i’ve seen so far and thank you! you’ve earned a sub

[@lifewithlucy4710]

Definitely one of my favorites by Soad. The forest is really good too.

[@TheMarathonomahos]

I live in New Zealand, and the lead singer is a customer of mine. Lives five minutes away.

[@vinograd74]

SOAD was a wonderful band full of creative and innovative ideas and their approach to composition. I can hardly find other bands in 2000+ period where you simply cannot predict what will they do in their next song. Before SOAD it was Faith No More (for me) being the leaders of unpredictable. I think its totally legit that you didnt like too much previous song and loved this one. Because SOAD is that sort of a band where they do not expect you to love everything they do. because they do sooo different things its hard to love it all.

[@williamkramer9731]

Forget faith no more... Go right to Mr bungle, where you're guaranteed to find some of their influences

[@sophiaxjc]

Deftones?

[@sethdunn8455]

every system album is amazing, I'd suggest reacting to radio/video, Sad Statue and Mind for some real fun

[@lunaticmoon2941]

Yesssss!!!!!

[@kauffamn1016]

The highway song , perhaps their most under rated song .

[@impek667]

I first heard this song in 2002? enjoying a discount afternoon at Wet n Wild Orlando. I believe I bought the single. . . at least I have high quality digital copy on my NAS. THE Rick Beato covered this song in his "Why Is this Song Great" series as well. I'm sure you'll get similar experience revisiting TFK and Red. . . Joined Patreon. Can I be twice as -annoying- persistent?

[@officialdifusorYT]

[@Thebookwarren]

Anyone watching inc DAVE needs to hear RHCP guru producer Rick Rubin talk about how this song was made and that band was lost and sing nearly scrapped until he told ST to open a random book at random page.. SO good

"I'm actually enjoying this!" cue happy face.... in all seriousness though, glad you've enjoyed this showcase of Serge, check out his solo stuff if you haven't already, he's amazing

[@mickya3011]

Oh yeah, good song.. funny how people request bands not so great songs/hits before you get to their better stuff. Toxicity to me, is not bad but not their greatest by any means. You can never go wrong with this song, as well as "prison song" "sugar" "IEAIAO" "vicinity of obscenity" "spiders" and so on... but solid review 🤙and you're right, a billion people can't be wrong lol

[@FandangoHoward]

Gotta second the I-E-A-I-A-I-O praise. Such a great song with some WILD lyrics that make no fucking sense until you dig quite a bit to find the meaning. Here's a link just in case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWncmX6efKyDgNU I wasn't sure you'd like this one after your Toxicity review, but now I think there's a chance haha.

Broo reaktion Slipknot custer!!

[@jaumakis]

As you know, I always agree with you and your opinion is very interesting and valuable. But I miss an analysis of the lyrics and the background. For instance, they had to choose "chop suey" as title because the producer banned the original title, it was something about suicide, the choose chop suey due to phonetic similarity.

[@Gabrielnobre]

This guy sure is a demanding person. 8.6 for this song and he didn't like Toxicity....wonder what he considers a 10.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

8.6 is LITERALLY a GREAT score. Guess you didn't check down in the comments section at the Scoring System Chart like I suggested you should do if you were confused. 8.6 is literally right in the middle of the great scale. I don't understand why people get so butthurt over their favorite band getting a great score. If my favorite bands got scores in the 8's I'd be thrilled. By the way, "This Guy" has a name, it's the name of the channel.
