    Fun fact: The song was originally titled "Suicide" but Columbia Records forced the band to change it to avoid controversy. The song title is therefore a wordplay: "Suey" is "suicide", "chopped" in half.

      Amazing back story to that exact part. Serj had writers block for lyrics at that point. He just so happened to be sitting in Rick Rubin's library when Rick told him to go to his bookshelf and take a random book, "Open it to any page and tell me the first phrase you see", he did and that's what ended up being the high point of the song.

    Chop Suey is basically a masterpiece. One of the songwriters said that the song is about how we are all judged differently depending on the circumstances of our deaths. But like Serj has said before (lead singer of the band), music is all about interpretation. So you can explain it any way you want to that makes sense to you.

    • @VolunteerFan07
      @VolunteerFan07 4 роки тому +10

      The Ark-Ham Sandwich - “masterpiece” is a stretch. An incredible song though for sure. If you’re looking for a “masterpiece” of rock, or even progressive metal, then I’d refer you to “La Villa Strangiato” by Rush. Don’t get me wrong, I do love SOAD. Their style is by far the most unique in that genre. But I personally, wouldn’t consider their works to be masterpiece caliber.

      You bring a good point. They were always saying their songs are always up for interpretation by those who listen to it. Some interpret the song as anti-modern day church, some say its about suicide, some say its about their style of music(Chop-Suey has a little of everything thrown in the recipe which is a lot like their music which has a little of everything in it as you noticed while listening LayedBak). This song is a masterpiece of the early 2000s

    I'm an old white lady and love SOAD (at least several of their tracks, including this one). I LOVE the hard-driving, head-banging rhythm. And the lead singer's voice is amazing. Also love their different harmonies -- unlike any other band I've encountered. I also love their interesting lyrics (although I can't pretend I understand their meaning). This one has obviously religious overtones (Father into your hands, I commend my spirit, etc). And, although I love the head-banging parts, some of the slower parts give me chills -- those outrageous harmonies!

      The song talks about how people are often judged more by the circumstances of their deaths rather than what led to it. In example, if you died from a drug overdose, no matter how good and pure you were in life, in death people are more likely to remember you as someone who got their comeuppance for their misdeeds (i cry when angels "deserve to die"), whereas someone else could live a whole life of debauchery, thievery and abuse, but because they ended it in suicide - most of the time to avoid facing the consequences of what they've done - people tend to, regardless of their status while alive, treat them in death as good people, tortured souls who ultimately were "too good for this world" (trust in my self-righteous suicide)

    "Father, unto your hands I commend my spirit. Why have you forsaken me?"
    According to at least one of the gospel accounts, these were Christ's last words on the cross.
    "Trust in my self righteous suicide" is a critique of the basis of Christian theology - namely, that Christ willingly accepted crucifixion and death as a means of salvation.
    SOAD's lyrics are complex, thoughtful, and profoundly shaped by the "big questions".

Serj Tankian (singer), went to the producer’s house, grabbed “a book,” opened it to a random page and placed his finger somewhere on the page, and where he put it was exactly on the verse that he used for that part of the song, which fit in perfectly.
    That book turned out to be the Bible. 🙏🏻❤️🎶👍🏻👍🏻

    "Father into Your hands I commit My spirit" were Christ's last words. The rest of it is borrowed from Psalm 22, from what I can tell.

      Christ said “Father why have you forsaken me” on the cross as well. For those who don’t know. He was mostly praying psalm 22.

      That’s exactly where he got it form. From what I’ve heard he was having writers block so his producer had his open a book to a random page and pointed to a random line and it was that verse.

    "Jinjer - Pisces" is almost like a must react for every reaction channel that reacts to Rock/Metal it is one of the most reaction worthy songs out there, well at least in my opinion.

    "if it's good music, it's good music baby". Preach! My colleagues says I'm weird cos I have random songs in my phone. RnB, pop, metal, rock, ballads, heck I even have traditional songs lol. As long as it's quality, I'll hear it any time

    Never heard of your channel but I love your perspective on music and how open you are to hearing new things. You had me the moment you said that music has a way of crossing races, ethnicities and religions. Love that
