    “Spiders” or “Question” next?
    Whichever one is commented most below wins!
    Also, small disclaimer: this video was blocked after being up for a month, so I distorted the music video and was allowed to reupload. Since this reaction I went onto listen to an entire hour of SOAD in one sitting and it probably went exactly how you’d think it would. Here’s the link : th-cam.com/video/KuPabATJa_k/w-d-xo.html 🫡

    the guitarist (Daron Malakian) said "The song is about how when people die, they will be regarded differently depending on the way they pass. Like, if I were to die from a drug overdose, everyone would say I deserved it because I abused drugs, hence the line ‘Angels deserve to die.’"

    Hey Teddy! WRT drums, they all are tuned to a different note, in particular there are toms or congas that you can have in a bulk so to speak if you want to do melodic fills and such. Kick drum, for example, is the only membrane drum that is played with a feet, rest like snare & toms are hit with a stick. Thing with snare, though, is that it has this noise component to it, meaning it is both the sound of a set frequency (snares are tuned to a specific note) and also all frequencies at once (like wind or sound of an oceanic tide), so you usually don't think of a certain note as there is a lot going on simultaneously and that noise makes you perceive it more like just a sound like hitting a trashcan and not some D, E, or G# note. Hi-hats and cymbals also do not have a prevalent frequency called fundamental, they just have many odd and even harmonics (overtones), all at similar loudness so you just hear “tsss”-like hiss which is not a note you can pick and identify, again. Toms, though, are very clear-sounding drums and if you think piano keyboard, which has 12 semitones in an octave - you can emulate that (or range of notes within several octaves) with having several toms all tuned to a different note. Or, similarly, if you have five toms tuned to (just random notes) the like of C, E, G, A, B then you can play a melody like CGC EA EBC on drums same as you would on a piano or xylophone. There is a fill in Chop Suey! where you can hear toms played one after another and them all having a different pitch. Oh, and back to your “long part of a guitar” comment, you meant fretboard not fret. Fret is a space between two vertical likes on the like of a guitar or bass. Lemme know if that helps. Sick viddie as usual! So cool to see you digging metal (not literally, but maybe you have a shovel somewhere, too! 😎). Big ups!

    guitar parts, bottom up: Body (biggest part), Neck (long bit), Headstock (top bit with the twiddly knobs). The front part of the neck between the headstock and the body is the Fingerboard. The strings go parallel to the neck, the frets are the perpendicular lines (which are metal rods for stopping the strings against, shortening their vibrating length for a higher pitch).
    two notes together is a double stop. three or more is a chord. If they sound good it's harmony, and if they sound bad it's dissonance.
    the pinch harmonic is a cool trick to get a higher pitch by touching the string in just the right spot while you pick the note.
    If you want squealies, you're gonna want to check out Pantera.
    If you want guitar shred, you might want to check out Haken.

    FYI: A drum set (usually) consists of a kick drum for the bass, a “Snare” (usually white on top) for the clap like sound and “Toms” are the other drums that (usually) form a semi-circle around the snare and drummer himself. Then you have all the “Cymbals” spread around beyond the drums. There’s one (usually) directly to the left of the snare and that one is actually two cymbals sandwiched on top of eachother with the one on bottom being upside down so the outter rims can come together. These two cymbals open and close with a foot pedal directly below them on the floor. Then the rest are just different sized, single cymbals that just produce different tones. Crash, ride, splash, trash, stack, are all different and used interchangeably often. Hope that helps brotha!

    As a Drummer, you can go both ways. Having the most basic lean kit and pumping mad shit out of that or having the cockpit of a god damn space shuttle in front of you that completely hides your presence besides the noise. Both gives you insane power and respect.
    Also, watch Opeth and Heilung.

    The cool thing about rock is its subgenres. Nu metal has a lot of beautiful things, and they take inspiration from Punk and Grunge, apart from hip-hop of course.
    Try some of these:
    - soundgarden
    - bad brains
    - temple of the dog
    - pearl jam
    - black flag

    I've been listening to this song for over 20 years and it still gives me goosebumps. So your reaction was very special to me.
    This song symbolizes in a musical way how unstable people break under external pressure (incessant accusations and unfounded demands) and are then condemned when they see no way out.
    PS: Yes, the voice is a gift from heaven ;)

    2:52 he's moving up and down the frets but i believe the answer you're lookin for is he's moving in between 2 octaves. 2 sections of the same series of notes(G-Gb-A-C) moving in different frets and also in different octaves

    The song was originally going to be called Suicide, but the record company were not happy.
    They renamed to Chop Suey as a reference to feeling like someone feeling cut in half and suicidal.
    The lines about putting on makeup etc. are about gathering your self together and putting on a mask for the world.
    The religion references are because, while the catholic church seems willing to forgive anything (no matter how vile) as long as you repent, if you commit suicide there is no forgiveness.

      "Why have you forsaken me?. Father into your hands I commend my spirit." are from when Jesus was about to be crucified; and if you think about it, it was a suicide since he knew it would happen and let it happen.

    The size of the drumset is really mostly dependent on the tastes of the drummer.
    The long part of the guitar is called the neck, but the front part that you press the strings to is called the fretboard. Frets are the metal lines on the fretboard that separate one note from another.

    to answer 2:33 with the big drum kit having lots of toms can come in handy cuse it just opens up your doors to different tones and pitches witch you can do lots with and switch between to add different feels or effects to your beat (and he differently dose in this song) or if you have two of the same pitch drums it can help with things like syncopation or make it easier to move around the kit.
    Having lots of crashes and rides symbols can help with different pitches as well like with the toms but mainly help with how airy or heavy the beat sounds like the small little crash symbols left to the kid next to the high hat and the main crash make a twanging bell noise that can cut through a lot more stuff making the drums fell less loud or deep for example but all in all its mainly to actually help the drummer not just for flash though some drummer do, do that

    Welcome to the rabbit hole that is SOAD! You'll enjoy this one.
    If I remember correctly, Daron (guitarist) was thinking something in the lines of
    When someone dies in a car crash we think "Poor thing"... But lets say they were drunk when driving the car and we suddenly shift to "They deserve it, shouldn't have been driving drunk".
    People make mistakes, and we fail to consider that not everyone is living the same lives as ourselves. Sometimes there might just be a very good reason, or at least an understandable cause that lead to the situation. But we just don't think about that. Because sometimes "Angels deserve to die"

    3min in, the word you are looking for is neck, could also use fretboard, depends on how it is used. The neck of the guitar/bass is the post between the head and body of the guitar, it is also where the frets and fretboard are. The frets on the other hand are the metal strips embedded on the fret board, you press the guitar strings into them to make a note. So something like "He is sliding up and down the neck" would be okay, as would "they are moving all over the fretboard."

    As for the song’s lyrics…..SOAD was working on the song at producer Rick Rubin’s place. Serg was stuck and couldn’t figure out what to write next, so Rick told him to choose a book from the wall and read the first thing that he opened it to. That’s how we got that “Father” bridge part at the end. It was the Bible and he opened it to the part about Jesus being crucified. Anyone who has spent time in a Christian church would recognize that verse, since that was basically lifted straight from the Text. It was perfect for the song, anyway. After all, isn’t it said that even angels deserved to die more than Jesus did? And, if you really think about it, isn’t His death basically suicide since he could have stopped it but didn’t? Just a thought to ruminate on.
    “Aerials” is one for my favorite SOAD songs. The video is quite strange and distracting to me, but I love the song.

    The tears in your eyes, on that ending part. I’ve felt the same way. Still do. Something about the way you feel it in his tone. That’s what I love about Heavy/Nu Metal music. If you’re coming from rap. Off the top of my head, go check out Slipknots first two albums. It gets dark, but Corey does some nice flows. Also Limp Bizkit- rearranged, my way, boiler are some good ones to start with. It’s been fun watching you react. Good luck! Looking forward to more. Cheers!!

    The long piece in the guitar is known as the neck, frets are the bits in between the two metal strips that goes up and down the neck, so if you start from the very start of the guitar right below the head where you tune it from, that’s the first fret, then you have that metal piece and that separates it into the second fret, another metal strip and then you’re on the third, hopefully this helped clear things up even though I’m bad at explaining lol
