Cop Suey - they wanted to call the song suicide but their record label didn't allow it so they chopped it in half: Chop Suey
Patrick Sullivan Why not name it Sewer Side?
Rice Krispy good one!
self righteous Table-side
@@brinculges7165 Chop Suey ( CS ) is Christ Suicide. They took a lot of heat over this.
"They all look like chefs" low key funniest thing ive ever heard about SOAD ever
But he ain't wrong tho.
"pepperoni and green peppers mushrooms olives chives"
Somebody has probably already explained it, but the majority of System of a Down's songs are related to the struggles of Armenia, as all of the band members are Armenian. They also have songs denouncing the U.S. government and the wars that have been waged by them, I think you would truly appreciate their lyrics, their message and the rest of their music.
The reason it’s called Chop Suey was to make the title more radio friendly, they changed it from “Self-Righteous Suicide” to “Self-right-chop suey-cide” and then shortened it to just Chop Suey. The title is really supposed to be what they mention in the chorus: self righteous suicide. I’ve heard people tie the meaning of this song to religion saying that it’s about Jesus dying on the cross hence “father why have you forsaken me”(God) I’ve also heard it been tied to how we act towards people who engage in self-destructive behaviors. Hence Serj encouraging the listener to “Wake up!” and act more compassionately towards them. SOAD has never really openly given out meanings to any of there songs so I would suggest listening again on your own with the lyrics in front of you and make that interpretation for yourself. Thanks for another great reaction and you were right it is a busy music video and don’t worry about doing “classics” that’s what makes them good. Id suggest Rooster by Alice In Chains next.
thanks for the lesson. appreciated
Song was supposed to come out around 9/11 so the changed it to Chop Suey out of respect.
Wasn't the lyrics about domestic violence. ?
System Of A Down - Prison Song
Also, subbed. I can appreciate people who step out of their comfort zone and appreciate music they arent used to.
The song was going to be called “suicide” as the lyrics mention “self righteous suicide”... but their label made them change it. So they played with the sound of the words and came up with “chop suey” out of righteous suicide = rightCHOP SUEYcide”
The song is about how we are regarded differently depending on how we pass. Everyone deserves to die. Like, if I were now to die from drug abuse, they might say I deserved it because I abused dangerous drugs. Hence the line, 'I cry when angels deserve to die'. The lyric passages 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit' and 'why have you forsaken me?' are a reference to Jesus' death on the cross, as, according to the Gospels, it was one of the seven things Jesus said while dying."
PRAISE THE SHRINKING SUN! It used to be called "Suicide" but the label made them change it. Chop Suey is a play on words (Chop Sueycide) there is probably more meaning to it, but that's where the name came from.
In the original version of the song, you can hear Serj say "We're rolling 'Suicide' " right before the guitar intro begins.
WhySoSerious? Well put
Ashley Rosales take a look at Wikipedia 😉🤣
thanks for googling and pasting this shit LOL. close but no.
Found you on my home page...i admire you for opening yourself up to other music, the music you are reviewing is my favorite. But seeing you, makes me want to expand my mind too. Thanks a lot, I totally enjoy you!
You are more than welcome and yes get to exploring new things whatever it is music food places just enjoy and smile. Anyways i ramble thanks for your time Peace!
Oh look at Serj's face, he looks like a naughty kid who just found the cookie jar, for suuuure they had fun making that song/video/record. It was fun watching that video again and it was fun watching you having fun watching them. Love the forever song explanation, spot on: it's been almost 20yrs since I first heard this song and just now noticed the freaking piano! :)
System of a Down is actually one of TEch N9ne's favorite metal groups. and Tech and the lead singer do a collaboration called "Straight out the Gate"
And they did a cover of Wu tangs shame on a nigga
You should definitely react to more SOAD, they're an absolute classic.
Sure, if you're thirteen years old and like pretentious bands.
J3B oh no people like things you don’t
You were so on point. Back when this song came out I was like he's not singing he's straight flowing. Glad you caught that too.
Bro I am glad you liked man :D to try that Linkin park "in the end" great video brother
I grew up in the projects...Jersey City, NJ. I couldn't get caught listening to anything except rap or I caught shit for it, but as soon as I was in my apartment with my walkman I had my System of A Down bumping lol.... these dudes really make good music
Christopher Pennetta I was just in JC 😂 ✌️
I really love and appriciate how you have a little question about the band. You actually looked up info about the band. That's so awesome.
Damn!...
I remember this dude n his reaction vids. He was definitely 1of a kind, the way he would hold conversations w himself.. Asking n answering some pretty damn good questions n kinda holding forums in a peculiar n hilarious way at the same time. This n more was what set this channel apart f the rest.
RiP- RRT u're surely missed bro-
Love tha reactions man👍
He mentioned Poprocks, I am subbing
Love the reactions my man keep am coming
just subscribed i watched almost all of your videos but you got me when you referenced threes company lol im old too!
i love threes company and i just found an old show i use to love called "Voyagers" idk if you remember that show but love to reminisce on good days. Thanks for subscribing hope you enjoyed some of my silliness.
definitely i like how your just you keep it up.ill send you some rabbit hole shit lol.there is something newer and different Alice Merton No Roots she was on jimmy fallon last week or so really catchy ..that sounds stupid but only way to describe it rock on man and take care.
I just stumbled on your video. Beofre watching I immediately thought that a hiphop head should really like this song. I had never thought about it before, but yeah there's a hiphop vibe in the way he's singing the verses.
Wowed! From Alaska. You earned a subscriber.
Great reaction! Yeah, SOAD are the SHIT!! One of the most unique rock bands ever. Keep it up man! \m/
Haha, subbed dude. I dig your reactions so far, you keep things honest and real bro.
im trying to be honest. ty for the sub.
No problem! Metal/rock fans tend to be very elitist at times, and def have their own kind of clique. You won't please everybody dude, so just be you bro! Cheers!
Fun is a great word. New to your channel, loving it 😀
Von Bass thanks glad you enjoyed. Feel free to suggest some music really appreciate the feedback
Bro as a metal head I like hearing what rappers have to say about my genre thnx for the reactions. If you haven't reacted to them maybe do living colour cult of personality or whitesnake heat of the night. Stuff from when I was a youngun lol
i dont saw any Machine Head Reaction :O That would be nice!! Good Videos, keep up the good Work :)
Loving the channel bro. I agree with your opening statement about everyone reaction to the same songs, I've noticed it too...
My recommendation is Strapping Young Lad - Love?
It's been reacted to by some people, but it's a great track and a great video. It might be a little heavy, but it has plenty of melody too...
Damn good reaction my guy
check out System of a Down- B.Y.O.B.
also Ariels
Rah Beats *Aerial
Lol Cigaro
ATWA
ATWA is such a great song by System of a Down, pretty underrated!
These guys are really nice in person. I met them when their first album just dropped and they were still a smallish band. Dudes put down their gear and took photos with my friend and I. They were really happy that two kids from NYC (they are from California) would wait for them.
System
ur really into the songs and i like it keep goin'
Shoot I found it bro :D sweet imma watch right now
Chop Suey = Suicide
They were not allowed by their record company to call the song Suicide, so they went with Chop Suey...
I like how opened minded you are my guy... Just straight listening and taking it in.. and it's all about the tones bro..🤘.
Recommend:
Korn
Slipknot
Anything 80s🤘
I can be here all day man.. hahaha
Nice video✌
sskizzyy 990 ty I actually ya e those bands on my list. Ty for the help and support peace ✌️
Rap Rat Trapped word is bond my friend ✌
Shit dope new sub keep it up g
Singing Doors lyrics when you open up the video, love it, and as to your comment about Bob Dylan being part of We Are The World on the last video you were absolutely correct about that, got an idea for you, when you feel like hitting up some old shit you cold select one of the 37 artists that were part of that shit back in the day to do a reaction video on, some great artists were part of that
You FEEL it, it's a prime example of how System puts you in their mood without even getting the metaphor.
~people are requesting the same tunes because they are the most popular songs . . . simple as that !! chop suey is a classic !! nothing wrong with checking out the classics !! have you heard 'freebird' by 'lynard skynard'? it a CLASSIC with an epic guitar solo at the end !!
jedi fu popular = best?
jedi fu Dyers Eve, Hangar 18, Far beyond driven, Run to the Hill, Desperate Cry, Cemetary gates are less popular than Enter sandman, symphony of destruction,Walk, the trooper...so are they better
->LaSucube666 ~maybe, but . . . music is a tricky thing to qualify - one persons best is another persons least
widely liked = popular
best = your own personal favourite
i prefer hanger 18 to symphony of destruction even though i think symphony of destruction is great - hanger 18 is 'better' for me . . . if i could only listen to walk or cemetary gates i would choose cemetary gates - i think walk is great but i love cemetary gates . . .
jedi fu I will add to the list. Yea I’m just learning to navigate this TH-cam thing. I do appreciate your feedback thanks again.
->max otto ~lol~ yeah you are right . . . the second half of the track is the epic guitar solos !!
Probably the only sub who's ever gonna request this band The Tea Party-Psychopomp
one of the members of system of a down and rza of wutang are in a group called ACHOZEN.. system of a down are dope ass musicians through and through..you have to know their background to know what the lyrics really mean. Armenian genocide.
Talk about forever songs! I just now heard the piano at the end for the first time!!
Exactly..."Forever song" they have sooooooo many good song to blow your mind with.
New sub here. Love what you are doing. Have couple suggestions for reactions. Live- Lightning Crashes. Marilyn Manson- The Nobodies.
I don't think I've seen a Sepultura - Ratamahatta reaction yet. It'd be cool, specially the official video version. Keep it up man!
David Mateos added to the list ty
This times 1000000000.
David Mateos that or roots bloody roots.
Something that might peak your interest; idk if someone in the comments has mentioned it yet - but the bassist for System (his name is Shavo) has done production work with RZA.
Hey man I have some local shit from my hometown, it's not me, but it's still good production quality and shit. Rap from Norfolk, VA. "Young Money Yawn" is his name. Dude might be in prison by now I don't know lol last shit he came out with was like 4 years ago. If you're gonna do a specific song, I'd recommend "Gutta Gutta". Shit goes hard. Also I subbed, I enjoy your commentary. Keep em comin
Guys, he has to go through the most popular and regularly reacted songs, they are popular for a reason
Besides, you won't get views if you go underground
Do You mean system of a down is not popular? Anyaway popularity has nothing to do with being good. Some famous rockers and
classic bands are really famous because radios and other media have accustomed people to their music but their music is superficial and lacks musical values.
Much love man greeting from the uk 🇬🇧
UK what up!!!!!!!!! Thats right rep your COUNTRY!!!!!!! PEACE!!!!!!!
UK WHATS GOOOD ?!!!!!!! how y'all feeling out there?!!!!!! lol PEACE!!!
Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧
when they're rappin', you're yappin'. don't take this personal bruh, I like a lot when you praised them using harsh words, so unique & cool. keep it up brotha, I already subscribe to your channel. 😁👍
zeem buo I do talk a lot but I get excited if the musics good 😂 my bad killa... but I do appreciate the feedback peace ✌️
Rap Rat Trapped yeah. glad you love them. I am one of their fans too. please react to other songs from them in the future.. 😊👌
Dope song & chill reaction lol
Glad you liked it. This one of my top 5 songs of all times. Now go watch system of a sponge 😂😂😂
i think 'fun' is a good word to describe SOADs music although they often have very serious topics, every song has a little something to it that makes for a really fun listen. i love them for that
You have a good ear in detecting some hip hop elements. System of a down is often considered new metal. New metal oftens have hip hops influences. An even better example of new metals hip hop influences would be limp bizcit. Also another system of a down song that would make a good video is BYOB. It also bends 2 genres of music, but this time has easier to understand lyrics.
Nu Metal. some say it started with Anthrax and Public Enemy doing Bring the Noise. So let me suggest that
Ronald! There's a difference between nu metal and rap metal, actually.
That option no D in question.. hahahaha 👌👌
I really enjoy your reactions, is great to hear the opinion of someone is new in the genre, please react to Vultures Fly by Avatar
Another great video my brother... just to let you know System of a Down is a Armenian band. Definitely one of my favorite bands. I would love to see what you think of the band primus. The lead singer is definitely one of the best bassist in the world.
fun fact: the original title for the song was suicide the record label made them change it to a more radio friendly title so chop suey was chosen, a play on suey cide .
Sometimes it doesn't matter about the lyrics, sometimes it's about how the beat, rhythm and music, takes you.
*Paranoid android by radiohead* I like your crawl at the bottom of your video btw. it's unique!
Awesome Rap Rat! Hey man, don't worry about reacting to stuff that's been done by others. This is more about you than it is for us. Maybe it would help to give you a broader musical menu if we add what kind of music each request is?? I always thought that might ruin the reaction part of it, at least initially. Shit, I dont even know what I'm talking about. LOL! How about something chill like SUBLIME-BAD FISH.
nunyo business yea I like to go in blind not really knowing what to expect. Thanks for the idea though really appreciate your help
Nice! Singing The Doors we heard that! Haha
I can't speak for all the different songs requested, but just talking about the metal songs people are requesting, I see it as people are introducing you to the greats of metal first so you have a better understanding of where it's coming from and to show the talent that really doesn't get any mainstream recognition. So yes, even though you're reacting to some of the same songs others are reacting to, you should be because they're some of the classics, the songs that really helped to shape what metal music is today. A couple of older classics to check out, Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name, and Judas Priest - Painkiller.
I was the music manager of a hastings as a day job, wich I was a musician, and owned a production company when I had a long conversation with them on their first national tour bus, picking up promo material, and meeting with other bands on the same tour, backstage, and in the alley. Slipknot, was another band I talked to, being their first tour too.
Don't worry if you are reacting to songs that are on other reaction channels. It's your personal reaction that we are here to watch, regardless of the songs, or how many times we've listened to them. You will receive multiple requests to the same songs as many of them are considered 1970s rock "anthems"; Back Sabbath's "War Pigs", Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", Alice Cooper's "Schools Out", Aerosmith's "Walk This Way", Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", etc.
420since1974 thanks for the motivation appreciate your help and support peace ✌️
Hip Hop and Metal have influenced each other in small ways for quite a while. It's cool to see, and System of a Down is no exception.
Chop suey got the name because they originally wanted to name it suicide but their record label didn’t want that word suicide in the album because they thought it would affect mainstream so they chopped suicide in half and got chop suey
In Hip-Hop/Rap a lot or a majority of what you’re appreciating is the words they’re spitting, how they’re putting together their rhymes. In metal the music, other than the lyrics, is a significant portion of what you should focus on. Don’t worry too much about the lyrics. Focus on the ride the instruments take you on.
The people in the crowd are actually fans. So yeah they're having probably having fun. They just told a bunch of fans when and where to be and put them in the video.
Love System! Going to see them live in Vegas Oct 19, 2018. Ya know the lead singer Serj has collaborated with Tech n9ne.
I LOOVE this song! 😍😍😍
I have read most of the comments here and I can't believe how no one understood what the song is about. The song is about how society is judgemental of people with severe depression to the point of being suicidal. The first verse describes how a person with depression gets up, tries to put up a front to join society ("wake up, grab a brush and put on make up, hide the scars to fade away the shake up"), but at the last minute makes an excuse not to ("why did you leave the keys on the table? here you go create another fable"). The second verse add the blame part, either from himself or society ("you wanted to"). The next part is how society responds to them by being judgmental, condescending and apathetic ("I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide") and how they don't deserve sympathy for their deaths ("I cry when ANGELS deserve to die") the last part is about how that person feels abandoned and is pleading for validation on his own problems and feelings.
I agree ! This song is fun asf!
System of a Down (SOAD) always has this crazy nuts-o-rama style. I love their stuff. Hard fast and right to the point stuff. The song "Sugar" is a great one too. I would love to see you review Slayer - Repentless. That is one of the most insane videos by one of the greatest speed metal bands ever! Since you do these videos first thing in the morning, you won't need any coffee after watching that. Although you may need a priest.
OIF SandSailor lol can I have the priest bless my coffee 😂 I will add to list ty for the help and support
This is from the singer Serg, about what this song is about "The song is about how we are regarded differently depending on how we pass. Everyone deserves to die. Like, if I were now to die from drug abuse, they might say I deserved it because I abused dangerous drugs. Hence the line, "I cry when angels deserve to die."
Radio/Video is another great song by them that jumps between drastically different musical styles, SOAD does that quite a bit though, they change the rhythm and sound of their songs a lot. Love it
Sometimes it is as simple as eating chop suey and wanting more soon after. S.O.D always wanting more. 😀
TWELVE FOOT NINJA
Point Of You
They like to blend different genres from salsa beats to reggea bass lines to funk. "Point Of You" is a good intro song to that band.
As a bass player some songs are definitely fun to play. So yes fun is a fine description
bro don't mind about lyrics too much, first reaction to a song should be to the music itself and the way the sound hits you....wheverever it may be the drums/guitars/vocals/vibe/etc... you should ride on THAT wave and stop 'apologizing' for being too overwhelmed to also pay attention to the lyrics... it's all great =]
the best reactions are the organic ones (imo atleast)
what a great video! made me love this timeless song even more! :)
Rah Beats dam I appreciate the feedback yea this song was super dope. ✌️
Great band. Maybe try Aerials by them next
Amazing song choice my dude, if you want to listen to something outside the realm of what you've been listening to recently, I recommend Riders on the Storm by The Doors
i know that song well from the movie soundtrack. but i would do another tune by THE DOORS. But i think I've heard all their hits. please suggest one i might not have heard. ty for the support.
True that, Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall is another great track straying from the usual. Really mesmerizing you could say, thanks for the response my dude!
NO thank you for the suggestions and help i cant build this channel alone. Good looking out
truuust iiiin myyyyy... selfright-CHOP-SUEY-cide!!!
the song's name "CHOP SUEY" is a play on words as the lyrics go "self-rychose suicide" and the "CHOP SUEY" part is "self rychop-sueycide"
How about some Twisted Sister? We're Not Gonna Take It. Good song. Interesting music video.
This man said, "choppin' onions" to "Pop Rocks" then put on some headphones for SOAD.
That is going in with the right attitude.
Definitely a multi-layered song that has staying power.
I think it is because the way the song is laid out. Its fucking crazy, but comes together.
Love this song
Man you Jack Trippin...;)
Bored by deftones is my forever song. Its a fairly simple song but i fuckin love the hip hop influence
Great song this one! I think you will find that alot of heavier music is about the music and how the vocals flow with it as as much as what they are actually saying, compared to hip hop. I'm only guessing because I've never listened to HipHop but i think they put alot of energy into the lyrics compared to the music. So its opposite a bit. Thats a big generalisation i know and it doesn't hold true for all songs but thats my take on it. No-one knew what Kurt Cobain was saying most of the time but the music was powerful.
Love Pop rocks and Threes Company. You not too old bro.
That’s one of the best parts of metal. When there going in crazy like that. It’s almost like today’s mumble rap. It’s not about what what there saying always. But the feel of the song !
Sometimes you just gotta have fun with it
Fury of the storm (live) - DragonForce (vevo)
the songs name is chop suey because they copped the word suicide
the record label thought a song named suicide would be hard to advertise
