i hope this sends you down a SOAD rabbithole! They're SO good. Toxicity, Prison Song, Deer Dance, and Hypnotize are all great ones. The band split up, but Serj (the lead singer) has some amazing solo music now. Empty Walls and Yes, It's Genocide are my favorites by him. The guitarist and backup singer, Daron, also has his own band now, but I haven't listened to it at all.
If I am remembering correctly it's kind of based on how someone will be remembered by the way they die, drugs, suicide etc. Another wonderful reaction as always TooBlunt
Yeah I think they were thinking of calling it suicide but thought it was a bit too on the nose and landed on Chop suey. The suey part kinda sounding like suicide.
@@himynameis3664 Nah, it was called suicide. They were told by their label it couldn't be. Strange, considering SOAD's anti-establishment stance on just about everything; their USP, if you like. Money talks in the end, I guess 🤷♂
Undoubtedly one of the best heavy experimental bands. They're very message driven in a way that doesn't overpower the music too. They get the info in there with the melody not the the melody in spite of the message
This is the first song I learned to play on the drums, the whole reason I even learned to play the drums actually! The shift in tempo throughout the song is seriously awesome
This is what it sounds/feels like when my son with ADHD tries to tell me a story about a show he was watching.😂 Love this song. It was my morning alarm for many years, and my oldest still hears "WAKE UP" and jumps up like its time for school.
Sounds like me when I was a kid. Then I had my own neurodivgent kid and that’s a whole other level of insanity. Let me guess, he starts in the middle of his story, then catches himself and says oh but it starts like…..then he tells you the end, only to be reminded of a key feature half way into the show. My mom used to make me stop, then told me to run around the house 5 X’s, then I could come back and try again.
@@Comrade_mommy That's pretty accurate. Key features are sprinkled sporadically throughout the story, and almost never in any sort of specific order. There's also multiple side tracks, forgetting what we were talking about, and remembering a funny unrelated joke mid sentence. It can be pretty chaotic, much like this song feels. I wish running around the house worked for him. Lol
Pretty much all of my videos have been getting blocked :/. I had to blur the video here in order to upload it. Sorry for the viewers who wanted to see the video.
Anything with SMG, WMG, etc as distributor is likely to get blocked. And if you do get it up on UA-cam you could get a strike. Best bet is to stick to groups and labels that have a rep for not blocking (the metal label Napalm that Jinjer is with almost never blocks) or independents
Great reaction. It’s a really visually cool video also. Lastly, chop suey is about how people are judged differently by how they die. Suicide, drug overdoses etc are viewed socially very differently than say a car wreck that “took them too soon”. Whereas a drug overdose somehow implies you’re a bad person. It’s mourned differently and viewed differently. The chop suey name is because like the dish, it’s a bunch of stuff thrown in, just like the juxtaposition of tempos and varying levels of aggression with as you said, an angelic sound thrown in. It’s a bunch of different sounds that just work.
The last 40 seconds of this song will always be beautiful to me. I hope I don’t forget this song as I age. I really hope I don’t. Im afraid of losing the things that made me who I am. It’s a hard thing to explain. Glad you liked this song man.
i grew up as a big metal head and fell in love with system, dont really listen to metal as much anymore (very very rarely when im in the mood) but some how my love for SOAD still remains as strong as it was the first time i listened to them! every time i listen to them it almost teleports me back to that time
I saw them with Korn in L.A. a months ago. It was amazing. I think it was there last show too. The drummer came out after the last song and said, "We thank you. We love you. We don't deserve you." SoaD is a huge rabbit hole. The lead singer Serj even has his own music. He has a song called Rumi for his son. It is beautiful.
I seriously think you'll enjoy this band. You love dissecting songs and are pretty good at it... their music always has layers to unravel. Plus its amazing! I fully encourage going down the rabbit hole with SOAD. You won't be disappointed 😊
I've binged through your metal reactions and loving them. It's nice to see you give the music and the lyrics the time of day. If I may suggest some bands to give you a diverse collection of metal: Opeth - Ghost of Perdition (Live at the Redrock), Dimmu Borgir - Gateways (Live at the Forces of the Northern Light), Lamb of God - Walk with me in Hell, Maximum the Hormone - Yoshu Fukushu, Carach Angren - The Funerary Dirge of a Violinist, Twelve Foot Ninja - One Handed Killing, Slipknot - Disaster pieces, Killswitch Engage - My Curse. There are so many different flavors of metal and they all bring something different to the table.
I discovered your channel yesterday. Bohemians Rhapsody is the first video I watched and then I went on to check a few others (abut Queen). I have watched countless channels and often find they overreact, and never subscribe to any of them. I didn’t feel that with you, I thought you were sincere and that was confirmed when I saw how much more you knew about the band with each passing video. I love how you interpret the meaning of these songs and find you very humble and smart. So I subscribed. I was also thinking that I would love to see you react to System Of A Down, and here it is today 😊. You’ll love them if you give them a try. Toxicity was the song that made me want to know more about them. I wish you all the best and keep up the good work.
The video was uploaded 2009, but the song and video are from 2001. You definately should do more System of a down. You will be amazed and suprised with this rabbithole. System of a down - Toxicity next. By the way, I get your Queen reference. System of a down are Alternative Metal, but Queen is for sure one of their many influences.
I really grew out of this entire genre. Almost no albums remain that i like from nu metal. It was good when i was a teen but nah. But SOADs catalog remains something ill always listen to
Serj Tankian, the lead singer, is no joke brother. Classically trained metal singer with a 4 octave range (that’s Freddy Mercury, Aguilera, Stephen Tyler range’s). Such a range is so unusual because the human voice is very limited and we use only a small part of it. This makes it very difficult to expand the vocal range and articulate such high notes. Check out some of his solo stuff too….. and don’t forget Marc Martel ;)
Music can be a wonderful opportunity to share with your adolescents and children. Open up your mind to what your kids are listening to and you might surprise yourself and actually like what you hear. I listen to EVERYTHING pretty much and have opened up the minds of several people I know including my son and his friends, to a plethora of artists they were unaware of. My son brought a "new song" to me when he was about 12 and was surprised when I was singing along to it. He said how do you know this song? I had to tell him it was a remake of a song that was popular when I was a high schooler and told him the original artist. He tried to argue that his share was the only artist who did that song, and Mom had to take him to "Moms Music Camp" for a whole summer and we opened up our line of communication then. Adolescent boys are difficult to reach, and I am so happy that I didn't let the music be a huge obstacle between us like my parents made it be when I was growing up. At age 60 in just a couple months, I have been on a 4-year exploration down the rabbit hole of rap, hip hop, and country rap or hick-hop. It's been a wonderful journey, one taken side by side with my, as of today, permanent ex-boyfriend. Thanks to him and a shout out to Shane Askey, for the wonderful journey we have been on together. I must take a break from it for a while at least until my tears dry up, shock and profound sadness and heartbreak subside and not begin pouring out every time I listen to our favorite artists. It's music that brought us so close together and another woman, his mother, who ripped us apart. Doesn't that sound like a common theme for music, poetry, and movies? Be well all, and please do try this as a method of hopefully preventing a teen suicide as most parents are unaware of the messages in the music their kids are listening to and it can most definitely have a profound effect on their mental health when they have no adults to share their music with. Just a thought yall. I hope it works for you as well as it did with me and my son. We still share music artists, and conspiracy theories to this day.
NuMetal was a Mashup of Hardcore punk, thrash, Funk bass, operatic vocals, and record scratching. The pre-era was Prong, Butthole Surfers, White Zombie,, and Suicidal Tendencies. When the era fully developed it became Powerman 5000, Linkin Park, P.O.D., Limp Biscuit, and Rage against the Machine. These guys caught the tail end of that era.
Man, it's a pleasure to finally meet someone, who certainly understood what's the message was about from the first listening. Try Chris Cornell Like a Stone.
Yes! More SOAD. Serj and Daron are legend. Well, the whole band is but we all have our faces. Sad Statue, Soldier Side are 2 of my faves besides the norm of Aerials, Spiders, etc. BYOB is pretty fun.
Dude. So Serj Tankian is the lead singer. Between SOAD and his solo stuff he should really get his own category in music. He is really amazing and you should definitely check them out!
We were mostly happy in the 90's and early 2000's when musical styles met each other. Peoples were open to new sounds and cultural mix. Now I feel like peoples feel separated by what they like without trying to hear something different but you're proving me that I'm maybe wrong. But don't you feel strange to think that people can miss this song ?
SOAD is an amazing band, that's truth. They formed in 1994 under the name "Soil", but after the 2 original members left, it was only Serj and Daron. John and Shavo then joined, and they got the name "System Of A Down" based on a poem Daron written called "Victims of a Down". They made their self-titled album in 1998, and is known for their song 'Sugar' They made "Toxicity" in 2001, and is known for 'Prison Song', 'Chop Suey!', 'Toxicity', and 'Aerials' They made their, quote, underrated album, "Steal This Album!" in 2002 and is known for 'Chic 'N' Stu', and 'I-E-A-I-A-I-O' Then they made their two-part album "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" Mezmerize is known for 'B.Y.O.B', 'Cigaro', 'Radio/Video', and 'Violent Pornography' Hypnotize is known for 'Hypnotize', 'Lonely Day', and 'Solider Side' After they released these two albums in 2005, they went on hiatus, before coming back together in 2010 to become a touring band, but in 2020, they released 2 new songs in response to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, since it was their newest songs in 15 years, they garnered pretty amazing reviews. Tankian said that System had something amazing planned for 2023, and this might have turned out to be the 'Sick New World' tour featuring 53 metal bands, including themselves, KoRn, Incubus, and the Deftones. But you never know, we could see a 6th album.
Some times when people seek help it goes unheard. Professional help can be the only thing that comes close to actually getting some help. Yet often might feel to professional. Such as do they actually care or is it a pay check. Then there is medication a bandaid that soon or later needs to be increased or it's no longer effective. So their are still scars in the mind that's hard to heal. The closest thing to good help I have is music like this.
Just found you channel and I'm loving the reactions. If you liked Freddie Mercury's voice, check out Chris Cornell. As much as I love Queen, Chris was to the first person to make me think of the human voice as an instrument. For an introduction Ito his vocal ability I'd suggest Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog, or Cochise by Audioslave. His live cover of Nothing Compares to You, is AMAZING and beautiful, and Shadow on the Sun by Audioslave is quite nice too. He has A LOT more, but I'd start here.
Here a couple songs that range from folk to industrial. The focus on them is the lyrics and pace change. Love what you do and hope you enjoy atleast one of them. lol Andrew Jackson Jihad - People II: The Reckoning Nomeansno - It's Catching Up Nine Inch Nails - Reptile Anti-Flag - Stars and Stripes Modey Lemon - Coffin Talk
I really appreciate you also analyzed the meaning of the song (even though with SOAD that can be a little difficult sometimes- one of their weirdest songs has lyrics like: 'banana banana banana banana terracotta banana terracotta terracotta pie'😂) SOAD is my *favorite* band and I'm so glad you discovered them too! They're really good with transitions and they are really crazy (lyrically and rhythmically)! If you want to hear some growling, try Needles/ Sugar / Prison Song / Know! But I reccomend you check out Toxicity, B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bombs) and Aerials first! They're all quite different from eachother, but they're all great songs! These songs (including Chop Suey) are kinda like a starter pack for new SOAD fans😂 Give them a try (if not for a reaction, at least in your free time)! :)
Toxicity, Prison Song, Sugar, Spiders, BYOB, Aerials are all a must!
Cigaro too lmao
Was going to say these as well.
War? Know, Needles, Chic n stu, Holy mountains, Suggestions, PLUCK, Mind, Psycho,
Not only their hits and music videos but also their b sides
Also lost in hollywood
"Radio Video" too.
Serj has one of the best voices in the music industry. He seems like a good guy too!
had :c
He really is!!!
@@superlini523 you don’t know him personally LMFAO
i hope this sends you down a SOAD rabbithole! They're SO good. Toxicity, Prison Song, Deer Dance, and Hypnotize are all great ones. The band split up, but Serj (the lead singer) has some amazing solo music now. Empty Walls and Yes, It's Genocide are my favorites by him. The guitarist and backup singer, Daron, also has his own band now, but I haven't listened to it at all.
Aerials, but yes, I could sit and write for a long time on the music I enjoy of SOD
I like Daron's solo stuff a LOT more than Serj's (which I still enjoy). The first Scars on Broadway album is practically another System album.
SOAD just released a new albulm.
Also “Lonely day” .. just love it♥️
Forest is amazing
If I am remembering correctly it's kind of based on how someone will be remembered by the way they die, drugs, suicide etc. Another wonderful reaction as always TooBlunt
Yeah I think they were thinking of calling it suicide but thought it was a bit too on the nose and landed on Chop suey. The suey part kinda sounding like suicide.
@@himynameis3664 Nah, it was called suicide. They were told by their label it couldn't be. Strange, considering SOAD's anti-establishment stance on just about everything; their USP, if you like. Money talks in the end, I guess 🤷♂

The best alt-metal band ever
This is the first song I learned to play on the drums, the whole reason I even learned to play the drums actually! The shift in tempo throughout the song is seriously awesome
Go down the SOAD rabbit hole cuz every song is a journey, totally worth it
Yes! They growl a bit more in their older stuff, but they were never really about that. Awesome blend of metal and Armenian melody
This is what it sounds/feels like when my son with ADHD tries to tell me a story about a show he was watching.😂

UA-cam does its best to get in its own way
Anything with SMG, WMG, etc as distributor is likely to get blocked. And if you do get it up on UA-cam you could get a strike. Best bet is to stick to groups and labels that have a rep for not blocking (the metal label Napalm that Jinjer is with almost never blocks) or independents
Which bands are being blocked? If we know you have seen them we can stop recomending them...
I want to see your reaction to Gordon Lightfoot- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald or If You Could Read My Mind
Don't worry we can watch the video after your reaction🥰 I still love this group so much!!
Great reaction. It’s a really visually cool video also. Lastly, chop suey is about how people are judged differently by how they die.

Actually, "Chop Suey" was chosen because the record label wouldn't let them name the song "Suicide." Suey just sounds like suicide.
@@matt-oo6fu Could be they chose it for both reasons.
That's a great way to explain the sound
@@larsbonzai thank you
@@danjohnson2986 😁thank You for explaining it! I hope more SOAD is "reacted to" by more young people- one of the best bands ever
Նրանց երգերը արդիական են բոլոր ժամանակների համար։ հիանալի և տաղանդավոր խումբ ❤ 💙 🧡
You finally got to it yes!!! I love it! B.Y.O.B next.

Serj is able to use his voice in a bunch of different ways. And he always sounds great.
From the first “you wanted to” line and your eyebrows narrowed, I knew you felt it lol. Great bud man.
this was one of the first bands made me look at music differently as a kid.
Brings me back to high school when it came out, I was the biggest outcast in my school rocking it
this is what the kids call a banger !
thanks for the reaction.
Have I said I love your reactions 🤣 🔥💕
:) thank you . Lol happy you enjoy
I saw them with Korn in L.A. a months ago. It was amazing. I think it was there last show too. The drummer came out after the last song and said, "We thank you. We love you. We don't deserve you."

I dig this band.
Good, very unique… very unique band.
Another great reaction/ analysis!
One of my favourite songs . Great video bro
One of my absolut favorite bands for many years. And I never get tired of hearing them again. Please do more. Revenga "live" :)
One of my favorite bands of all time
Thank you
Ahhhahaha... I'am not alone in «Is John Dolmayan animated»? 🤣🤣🤣
This song is epic. Timeless.
John (the drummer) is very much real. I'd blame older technology.
One of my favorite songs by them. Always good to get ya hyped up.
Greatings from Germany. At it's time, this song was a big hit in metal and gothic clubs here.
Love your reactions my guy.
Yes System of the down are amazing
I've binged through your metal reactions and loving them. It's nice to see you give the music and the lyrics the time of day.

There are so many different flavors of metal and they all bring something different to the table.
Kudos ~~ those were some leet recommendations
The drummer is a cyborg
Damn, been waiting for you to go down this rabbit hole. These dudes are lit bro.
Very Kool and different kind of music. The videos are lit too
They are something alright. Glad you enjoyed it for the first time.
You should definitely go down the s.o.a.d rabbit hole no song will be a bad one still is one of my favorite bands of all time since I was a kid
Aerials so perfect
You definitely need to keep reacting to them. They are awesome!
Ahhh takes me back to Senior year. Still love it today
When it comes to the changes in their songs, it is some kind of brandmark or trademark of this band!
One of the most unique bands/sounds EVER!🔥🔥🧨🧨🎆🎆🎆

This is the first time I heard holy bajolie 🤣. More power to you brother.
What the hell... you partly got there.. its the internal struggle, torment, fight, mind struggle with suicide. They are shouting it out at you..
Putting your keys on the table is something people that commit suicide do alot.
That is one bad ass band🤘❤️
you said the drummer looks animated!!! i've ALWAYS thought that and never heard anybody say it. IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE LOL
I became SOAD addict after hearing Chop Suey. Damn, they're so good!
I like the blue in your set
I love this one. Its a whole mood. Like
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ You’ve got this sweetheart you will get it mad love form Michigan

This was the late 90's / early 2000's - Only very high budget movies / vidoes had 3d animation. None in this one. Some neat editing trickery though ;)
Ah SoaD, the adhd of music
The drummer is real...
He just looks like a robot
Hypnotize is one of my favorite Songs of them, don´t know why, but it has a little bit of mystic melodie in it :)
Tip of the iceberg.

Dude.. the first song i heard by this group, it was about 5 years ago , is called Chic 'N' Stu it's about pizza, you will love it!
Man, it's a pleasure to finally meet someone, who certainly understood what's the message was about from the first listening. Try Chris Cornell Like a Stone.
Love the confusion! 😆 🤣
Yes! More SOAD. Serj and Daron are legend. Well, the whole band is but we all have our faces. Sad Statue, Soldier Side are 2 of my faves besides the norm of Aerials, Spiders, etc. BYOB is pretty fun.
Aerials and BYOB take me to another world...SOAD is never a bad choice
System of a Down are awesome you need to check out their song Aerials and Toxicity... Sugar... you'll find out there pretty political band
Dude. So Serj Tankian is the lead singer. Between SOAD and his solo stuff he should really get his own category in music. He is really amazing and you should definitely check them out!
Hey, bro. If you like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Chop Suey", you will definitely like "Welcome to the Black Parade" from My Chemical Romance :)
"Deer Dance" and "BYOB" is more relevant nowadays
We were mostly happy in the 90's and early 2000's when musical styles met each other. Peoples were open to new sounds and cultural mix. Now I feel like peoples feel separated by what they like without trying to hear something different but you're proving me that I'm maybe wrong.

SOAD is an amazing band, that's truth. They formed in 1994 under the name "Soil", but after the 2 original members left, it was only Serj and Daron. John and Shavo then joined, and they got the name "System Of A Down" based on a poem Daron written called "Victims of a Down".
They made their self-titled album in 1998, and is known for their song 'Sugar'
They made "Toxicity" in 2001, and is known for 'Prison Song', 'Chop Suey!', 'Toxicity', and 'Aerials'
They made their, quote, underrated album, "Steal This Album!" in 2002 and is known for 'Chic 'N' Stu', and 'I-E-A-I-A-I-O'
Then they made their two-part album "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize"
Mezmerize is known for 'B.Y.O.B', 'Cigaro', 'Radio/Video', and 'Violent Pornography'
Hypnotize is known for 'Hypnotize', 'Lonely Day', and 'Solider Side'
After they released these two albums in 2005, they went on hiatus, before coming back together in 2010 to become a touring band, but in 2020, they released 2 new songs in response to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, since it was their newest songs in 15 years, they garnered pretty amazing reviews. Tankian said that System had something amazing planned for 2023, and this might have turned out to be the 'Sick New World' tour featuring 53 metal bands, including themselves, KoRn, Incubus, and the Deftones. But you never know, we could see a 6th album.
BTW, the best thing is watching the fluffy Leonard bouncing to SOAD in the Secret Life of Pets.
Good reaction!. Would love to see you do Tim Minchin-Prejudice because you are sharp enough to appreciate it.
That head just move and blinked
Aerials next!
Some times when people seek help it goes unheard. Professional help can be the only thing that comes close to actually getting some help. Yet often might feel to professional. Such as do they actually care or is it a pay check. Then there is medication a bandaid that soon or later needs to be increased or it's no longer effective. So their are still scars in the mind that's hard to heal. The closest thing to good help I have is music like this.
I identify with this song because my life would make for a good Lifetime movie
I guess you could called John animated 😂. He is like a cyborg
Like a new born seeing first time a TV, or a dog seeing first time a mirror. 😈
Do you know the band KORN? I would love to see your reaction to their songs!
Watched some reactions. Love you’re genuine reactions. Subbed. You should do slipknot if you haven’t.
:) happy you enjoyed the video . Thanks for the comment and subscribing
Yes go down the S.O.A.D rabbit hole. Prison song, deer dance, boom, byob, pluck, sad statue, and many many more
Just found you channel and I'm loving the reactions. If you liked Freddie Mercury's voice, check out Chris Cornell. As much as I love Queen, Chris was to the first person to make me think of the human voice as an instrument. For an introduction Ito his vocal ability I'd suggest Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog, or Cochise by Audioslave. His live cover of Nothing Compares to You, is AMAZING and beautiful, and Shadow on the Sun by Audioslave is quite nice too. He has A LOT more, but I'd start here.
This music video came out in 2001, not 2009. 09 was just a late upload to UA-cam. John Dolmayan isn't animated 😅
Yoooo Too Blunt! You need to check out Body Bag by I Prevail!!
Here a couple songs that range from folk to industrial. The focus on them is the lyrics and pace change. Love what you do and hope you enjoy atleast one of them. lol
Andrew Jackson Jihad - People II: The Reckoning
Nomeansno - It's Catching Up
Nine Inch Nails - Reptile
Anti-Flag - Stars and Stripes
Modey Lemon - Coffin Talk
Love ur videos!!! Do Jessie Howard's "little boy and the preacher man" or NuBreeds "no trespassing "
I really appreciate you also analyzed the meaning of the song (even though with SOAD that can be a little difficult sometimes- one of their weirdest songs has lyrics like: 'banana banana banana banana terracotta banana terracotta terracotta pie'😂)
SOAD is my *favorite* band and I'm so glad you discovered them too! They're really good with transitions and they are really crazy (lyrically and rhythmically)! If you want to hear some growling, try Needles/ Sugar / Prison Song / Know!
But I reccomend you check out Toxicity, B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bombs) and Aerials first! They're all quite different from eachother, but they're all great songs! These songs (including Chop Suey) are kinda like a starter pack for new SOAD fans😂
Give them a try (if not for a reaction, at least in your free time)! :)
Nice too see a genuine reaction
Can you check haikaiss - a praga
Toxicity though 🔥
