It's an awesome cover. I love when they perform, this is the song that they open up with. It's great because the whole crowd gets into it. It gives me goosebumps thinking about it
Yea I just said ABR is my favorite, but idk...it's like picking a favorite food. To me its impossible...so I can live happily knowing they're both amazing artists that have touched my soul at different parts of my life. And this song especially, hell, this whole album is my freshman year of high-school, a crush that killed herself, hella memories
I always scratched my head at punk goes pop albums when i was a kid. All i wanted was a punk goes thrash, or punk goes metal This song does the trick perfectly lol

Man, this definitely made me trust in my self righteous suicide because I cry when Angels deserve to die. Genuinely-perfect and amazing. Heavy and ABR-true riffs, the drum tone is sick,’The vocals are brilliant. I love ABR covers because they actually cover the song, doing justice to the song itself. There’s a reason certain songs aren’t covered and certain songs are brilliant songs to cover. This is a masterpiece in which you literally played and sang the song exactly as the original, besides of course the breakdown rhythm...this is a work of art that should be sent back in time to be releases as the original version of this song and then be covered by System of a Down. You guys are awesome. Thanks for doing what you do, what you have done for me for close to 20 years now. Thanks for making some hard days better and some awesome days heavier. Jesus loves you and so do I.
@@rvbagentky6532 I was never a big fan of this song so im always at their concert just standing there staring at everyone enjoying it. I like the song more now, ill listen to the ABR version.
Back in 2014 when Chevelle was the headliner, it wasn’t Chop Suey!, but Prison Song came on in between bands and me and some other random guy got a mosh pit going in between. Had to keep the hype up!
Very interesting to hear Matt play this song. He plays a little bit "closer to the beat" than John does, giving it a different sound even though it's being played in the same time signature.
20 years ago !! People called u crazy why u listen this kind of music , now I feel like a little boy again and still rage the neighbourhood!!!! Thx ABR !! Christmas was awesome but this one is a fuckin statement to all of us ❤️
Hearing any cover of Chop Suey creates an intense need to listen to the OG. One of the few songs that will be greater than any cover of it. The original truly is timeless.
True. The "Wake up" verses are sorely missing Serj's zany delivery. This one rips at the "fall into your hands" part on is great and all but renders the first half of the song filler. Way better than Amon Amarth's Ariels though, so I'll take it I guess.
The article that brought me here said that Dustin is also heavily featured as clean vocals, but I'm having difficulty discerning between the two on first listen through my phone
I was literally thinking the other day that someone should do a metal cover of this song. Someone with a good drummer. Someone like August burns red and you guys actually did lol you guys are the best 🤘🏼❤️
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard! Abr most talented metalcore band in history, they always have been and always will be my first favorite!
Now lets just take a second to appreciate not only the clean vocals from ADTR but also to appreciate the power of serj's voice. It sounds like buddies heads going to pop off when he starts to sing serj's high notes lol Cheers
When I was about 12 we went to the movies for our school breakup before high school, all the other kids went in early though, so my dad gave me some money and asked if I still wanted to go to the movies or go buy something, I went and bought Toxicity and had Chop Suey on repeat literally the whole evening. And that’s my fondest memory from primary school 🙂
Beautiful, just beautiful.. i cranked your cover full throttle and now my ears are ringing.. my throat is sore from singing along too! Jaja i love this song
Ive listened to this cover 10 times today and it's such an awesome testament from my favorite band in my adult life, in honor of my favorite band from my teenage years. I lost my ever loving mind when I saw this on my feed. Thank you so, so much ABR. Fan since messengers!

@@IMAGE_NT_HEADERS Yeah, I get mad when I find that there's autotune in a song. It's a shame because this is the only full-on Chop Suey cover that I like. Also, how do you know there's autotune? Did the band members say so?
Ok. I love the albums August have been putting out lately but THIS. THIS is the best thing I have heard. Absolutely amazing. It’s been on repeat all morning!
System Burns Down.
Hell yeah!!! Lol
August Of A Red
okay your version makes more sense
It's catchy lol
I wish the system would burn down...KIDDING, FBI!

"Hey, are you guys going to make anymore Christmas songs?"
"Here's Chop Suey."
The gift for us :v
SIIIIII
Dying angeles is as close as santa as you're going to get.
They totally dropped a Christmas album this year lol
Pretty sure they already made a Christmas album. Thought they covered TSO
Now I need System of a Down to do an August Burns Red cover to complete the cycle.
They don't have the chops for it
Not a chance System of a Down could ever do an ABR song. They’re not exactly a heavy/technical band
You guys are no fun
I'm sure they could have a solid go at it
They'd definitely do their style with it
That is how you ACE a cover
too late nik xD
Yep
They didnt Ace it, they legit made it their own masterpiece.
Seriously! Can't believe I missed out on this until just now
what music channels do you recommend following?
If ABR started incorporating Jake's singing into their original music, I would fucking love that. Dude has a great singing voice
Sureee!
No
Wish granted
I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner just because ghosts is one of their biggest songs. And Dustin crushes jeremeys part live every time.
The original song reaching 1 billion views
2 new SOAD songs
This sick cover
Damn, what a time to be a SOAD fan
If you haven't already check out nekrogoblikons version which came out a few months back

What a time to be alive
Is no one going to comment about the **clean vocals** in this ABR song?
It is a cover, so let's just pray that is the reason, not because they are changing there tune so drastically
@@XPervysage They already did this type of style in Lighthouse...
@@XPervysage Bloddletter was on Guardians. I’m not too concerned that cleans will be the norm 😂
Can we all agree that ABR missed the chance for clean vocals on All I want for Christmas?? lol
God i hope we get more cleans in the future. ABR is stale as shit. some old every album
This is fantastic. They stayed true to the original while still completely making it their own.
It's an awesome cover. I love when they perform, this is the song that they open up with. It's great because the whole crowd gets into it. It gives me goosebumps thinking about it
my actual favorite band, covering a song of my middle school favorite band. It can't be better.
Exactly what I said.
In a way that's how I felt when ghosts came out. A day to remember and abr doing a song together made 15 year old mes dream.
for me that would be bring me the horizon covering green day 😂

@@iletthedevilin828 \m/
Heavy bands covering other heavy bands needs to be a more normal thing
Yes the era of metalcore bands covering pop needs to die and the era of metal covering metal needs to begin!
Rings of Saturn's version of No Pity for a coward is awesome.
Except Metal bands have been doing this since the early 1980's
Yesss this must happen
I always scratched my head at punk goes pop albums when i was a kid. All i wanted was a punk goes thrash, or punk goes metal

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM!? AND WHY IS IT SO GOOD!?
Say thank you
They played it as the intro to Christmas Burns Red.
Its soo good because its ABR
It's a Christmas present
they have been playing SOAD's chop suey on the PA as a pump up song before they go on at their live shows for awhile now, this must have been an idea for a little gift considering the lack of live shows
Dude the double Harmony at 3:05 is so satisfying. I can't get over just how beautiful the harmony of saying "in my" Sounds.
Thats what makes me come back to this cover. Try Dead By April linkin park Numb cover. The harmony towards the end is also gorgeous
This cover freaking SLAPS
this instrumental with Serj's vocals would be the ultimate chop suey!
Oh yeah !!!!
Fuckin A
Incorrect sir
Nah, nothing can beat or even equal Daron’s Iceman.
Nop ....just like this
About time.... after playing it before every show!!!!!
Right! 😂🙌🏼

I can just picture matt with a big cheese smile during the whole time of this!
Right? Really disappointed this wasn't a studio video.
Apparently this is the 20 year anniversary of when Chop Suey was written. Song was recorded in February of 2001...... Dammit I feel old...
I feel ya, I remember jamming to the original when it released and now I can't believe it's been so long. This cover was sick!
Same here. Whilst I do the old man moan as I fall into the couch. Ahhh
But...but...but i bought it when it came out... Holy shit
Seriously so do I... damn time sure does fly when you are having fun...
Don’t misuse the word damn.
2:22 that part crushed me like a ton of bricks
💯
It kicks! 🔥🔥🔥
My necks broken now.
Those highs are fuckin disgusting
Think I wanna cut and paste so i can listen to that particular part for hours

Love hearing clean vocals instead of only screams!
I've been waiting for this my whole life and didn't even know it. Pure bliss and nostalgia.
They always play this on the system before they come out every time I've seen them.This is the cover I never knew I needed
I'm So Impressed That They Made A Cover Out of Nowhere lol Greatest Hit Cover of the End of 2020
Is that actually Jake singing clean????? Dude's got a voice!
Yeah is jake

They were good before and now they’re still good!
Facts.
Trivium!
While no one can match Serj's vocals, this was a near-perfect cover.
Nah man, I disagree
