Theatre Kid Reacts to System Of A Down: B.Y.O.B

b.y.o.b stands for bring your own bombs, or in a more general tearms its bring your own beer. but as this song refers to to the desert storm war they went with the bombs. but this is still good after 18years

You mean Iraq and the war on terror? Desert Storm was like '91

Yeah but they went with more than bombs. They also sent the poor.

[@graciefolden2359]

"Fun" sounding song as long as you dont pay attention to the meaning. Like a lot of S.O.A.D songs, B.Y.O.B. has very real subject matter that deserves to be appreciated on a Serious level also.

[@NawalQtaitat-kk8pq]

Music has to be fun essentially also!

[@bararobberbaron859]

@@NawalQtaitat-kk8pq It really doesn't have to be fun. Songs can be expressive, therapeutic, cathartic, informative, motivating and even life saving. All those things are possible without it being fun. Don't get me wrong, it's great if music is fun, but it doesn't have to be.

[@Nickel138]

Great reaction. The song is Bring Your Own Bombs. The song/video is making a statement on bombs being dropped and wars going on… but everyone else is just partying. They have a nice dance-y part, scantily clad people dancing, great times… then BAM! “Where the fuck are you?!” Because “we don’t live in a fascist nation.” 👀 The dance part is super catchy though. They made it too good. 😂 Also, excellent break down on the military recruitment. I think we spend over $750 billion dollars on our defense budget. Which goes to corporations who make guns and bombs, yes, those same corporate so and so’s who take part in our government, or at least contribute heavily to our politicians. Wars need tending to, bombs need to be made, soldiers need to be trained, otherwise that $750 billion dollars in taxes doesn’t make sense to the American people. How do we convince people who to join the military when they have everything?? Target the people who don’t have everything. Make up some villains. Scare some people. Okay. Rant over.

[@CharisSellick]

You are the first person in 24 hours that the video has been up to mention anything about the little rant at the end I give. People really miss out not watching till the end!

[@Nickel138]

@@CharisSellick Agreed. They’re good rants! I always watch after the credits and listen to the end of the track. A little bonus content if you stick around. 😋

[@MichaelLayne702]

I thought it was a metaphor…..Everyone’s (the UN), is coming to the party to have a real good time, ( soldiers going to war),. Dancing in the desert, (fighting in the Middle East), Blowing up the sunshine, (blowing so much dust and debris, it blocks out the sun).

[@Nickel138]

@@MichaelLayne702 That’s a good take on it. They’re smart guys, so maybe it’s both. 😂 It’s always nice when a song has you thinking about it different ways.

[@Lonemite]

Definitely take a dive into the meaning of their songs. Some of them sound like complete nonsense but it’s really word play and has a message.

[@peterschmutzig820]

System of a Down is one of the best bands in the world imo. Awsome reaction, i love how much fun you have ❤

[@gegart01]

Yes! My favorite. They made my school years so funny

[@basher5107]

The original meaning applied to bring your own bottle or beer because many restaurants couldn’t sell or serve alcohol due to liquor license issues.

[@kianr2200]

system of a down is one of the best bands to ever exist. insane instrumentals all around, guitar bass drums, and vocals are next level. between serj and daron, their voices mix and harmonize so damn well. I recommend spiders or prison song, but they really don't have a bad track. Their music ranges a ton(I’m sure you’ve seen the differences in chop suey and BYOB)so you have to listen to a lot of their songs to get a good feel for the band. also it's sad that many of their lyrics are still super relevant. they touch on many heavy issues and these songs were made decades ago. hope to see more soad on your channel soon!

[@musictofreeyourmind5560]

I love that this song came out over 20 years ago. Listen to the whole album it's so good

[@sangutuandika7658]

3:30 Imagine driving in your car and playing b.y.o.b and your girlfriend is just enjoying the song😁

[@mudflapsmoviereviews]

Awesome reaction Charis! This is my favorite SOAD song!

[@sem1conscious]

Such a great song, they mix the party feeling and theme of bring your own beer to the implication that war was kind of glamorized with the feeling that we're completely justified in 'spreading freedom' and punishing the evil doers. yeehaw!

[@jmurphy6011]

Serj did some solo albums, his video for Empty Walls can really hit you if you think about it while watching. Kids playing at war post 911.

[@sipenarekbecha7193]

*Sky Is Over* aren't a sleeper too

[@ZombieJesus1987]

This song came out in 2005, and it was about the War in Iraq which was raging on at the time. System of a Down was very outspoken against it, and the propaganda machine behind it. B.Y.O.B stood for Bring Your Own Bombs. Another great anti-war song they did is called Boom. The video was shot at the February 15. 2003 Anti-War protest, millions of people marched in 600 cities all over the world in protest of the United States' imminent invasion of Iraq. SOAD marched in the LA protests

[@tommix6457]

Yeah usually means bring your own bottle or bring your own beer but in this case it bring your own bomb. And the line where they say exploding the sunshine that means a nuclear bombs going off in the desert

[@dem4christ04]

This is a fantastic reaction!

[@samhouston1979]

now for singer Serj Tankian’s “empty walls” or SOADs “sugar”

[@VerzoOchoa]

BRING YOUR OWN BOMBS

[@lukestrobridge666]

B.Y.O.B. also stands for Being Your Own Bait for fishing

[@lontollison6771]

Yes its about war I think the dancing the desert blowing up the sunshine is a reference to the a bomb which u should bring your own

[@RahimRahmat]

That last 90 seconds of your video - well, my respect for you went up several notches.

[@CharisSellick]

Like 2% of people watch till the end and that’s the best shit.

[@RahimRahmat]

@@CharisSellick Pity people do not watch until the end. Very often, the real message sits right there.

[@staceycromer1172]

Bring your own bombs ( BYOB)

They actually meant it is Bring Your Own Bomb to the party. Its like everyone gets to drop a bomb and make money.

[@justahologram2230]

Everyone bring your own bomb. It sounds like a melancholy on how first world people fain care for conditions in the world.

[@alexandersippel]

I heard it stands for bring your own bonds.

[@LordShaitaan]

Wow... so you are one of thees persons, having a real good time...

[@da9pauly]

I really would love to see you react to the band Tool song Push it from the Salival album. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Tool they’re an extremely popular and talented Progressive Metal band that is known for having longer songs with odd time signatures. Tool songs take you on a journey within your head when you listen to Tool songs. The members of Tool are incredible musicians!!!

[@scottclark3761]

Bring Your Own Bombs I always see this as a sequal to War Pigs.

[@nathanpadilla213]

Serj Tankian's solo stuff is premium! So so good.

[@Gustavo-ew7om]

I was supposed to go to that war but I actually have a brain

[@JPMadden]

The Iraq War was fought by 1% of the American population. The government borrowed money rather than raising taxes to pay for the war. The war didn't affect the rest of the country. Meanwhile, on at least one occasion the President encouraged Americans to continue shopping. (That's why the video alternates between scenes of soldiers and a party at a nightclub.) So, too much money was borrowed all around, which was one of the causes of the economy crashing in 2008.

[@imopen2]

Three different songs but one message. Bring your own bombs. It is an anti-war, anti-government, anti-consumerism song

[@Gustavo-ew7om]

I thought it was bring your own bullets

[@JohnMartinezIII]

My favorite SoaD song. Hot take: I wish they would've kept the chorus with just Serj, instead of bringing in Daron in the second part. Serj's part is so nice. I guess you could say it's......Mezmerizing. 😏 ('Mezmerize' is the name of the album it's on) Also, I like that you decided to go with 'Whatever the quack I want' from now on! Edit: I just remembered that I lied. 'Old School Hollywood' is my favorite SoaD song. It's from the same album as 'BYOB.'

I love the pretty section in the bridge about wars in the Middle East over oil. Super catchy. And devastating. Currently SOAD, Disturbed, and Gorillaz are my top 3 bands I regret haven’t seen live yet that I 100% should’ve but WILL. I’m seeing Gorillaz in September in Boston at Fenway Park. That show gonna go crazy. AC/DC would be #1 but there’s no hope of that happening anymore.
