At the time this was definitely a protest of the Iraq War. The most direct reference is the blowing up the desert. The guitarist does a lot of singing, either harmonizing on top of Serj, or sometimes even carrying the song. My impression is that Serj was the main writer behind the Toxicity album, but the guitarist was the main writer for the Hypnotize/Mesmerize albums from which this comes.

I love how "why don't presidents fight the wars? why do they always send the poor?" aren't asked, but sound more like accusations, to remind us that no matter what delusions we individually choose to use to cope with existence, we are still collectively and individually responsible as participants in society for what our leaders do. They don't just send us out, we let them, go for them, despite them having no real skin in the game because the fight won't hit their doorsteps til they're too old to care anyway and have already enjoyed the power of standing on our backs. Generals used to ride the front lines and lead the charges, now they have luxury bunkers and can't tie their own shoes. Revolution is a responsibility

Love this, the whole song is almost accusational and telling YOU to wake up, the first lyric is "you" straight up, then the chorus bit sounding all nicey but with the darker second part "dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine" and then at the end it gets cut off with those accusations, like its saying no, stop listening to the propaganda right now! It's such a layered and incredibly created piece of music, in many ways it's very tongue in cheek and straightforward in its message but simultaneously extremely nuanced

I love Daron’s voice, combined with Serj’s is just amazing. Been a fan since the early 00’s, their music is so multifaceted and spans over many genres. They do it all and they do it perfectly. From metal, rock, to funk and cultural influences. Their albums are just filled with gems which is rare. Most albums contain a couple of good songs but not all. Spiders, Toxicity, Chop Suey, Revenga, Radio/video, Old School Hollywood, Lost In Hollywood, Dreaming, Holy Mountains etc. Do Questions! next, the vocals in that song are amazing.

Their biggest hit, by far, is "Chop Suey". It has over 1 *billion* views here on KZitem currently. It still has their unique sound, but it's probably more widely palatable than some of their others. "Toxicity" is another one that's good like that. Here's "Chop Suey": kzitem.info/news/bejne/pImsrKR4iJdpmI4 Are you familiar with Evanescence and their lead singer Amy Lee? They were massively popular in the early 2000s (winning Grammys, selling like 17+ million copies of their first album, etc. 3+ Billion views on their YT channel). They have lots of great songs, and here's one if you'd like to check them out: "My Heart is Broken" - kzitem.info/news/bejne/x2eHraKncpyGiGU Listen to the first 5 seconds or so and see if it catches your ear (she sings from the first second).

Soad is in the top 3 of my all time favorite times. I love them alot. The cool thing about this band is that Daren Malakian (the guitarist) also sings and has in my opinion a very beautiful harmony with the lead singers voice. Serj Tankian is indeed a trained opera singer. And he has a solo career with songs you could also make vidos to. Their lyrics and musicianship is on a very high level and vocally i think there could be alot to talk about as they sometimes do some really whacky weird stuff in their songs. Listen to their song "Spiders" pls.

Hard-hitting stuff, and the perfect vehicle for the lyrical message. They want to shock people out of complacency.

8:52 "when did this come out....2 thousand....nine.." See, that's the problem looking for the release date on youtube. That's when the video was UPLOADED, not the release date. This song came out in 2005. I saw them live that year at a concert festival called Ozfest that was owned by Ozzy Osbourne and his Wife Sharon. It no longer exists. It was one of those all day things. The song is about the war and how the US government makes poor people fight the wars THEY start. This is about the war in Afghanistan. It's very apparent that it's about war because it literally says so right after the screaming part in the middle. Serj said "Where the f*ck are you?" (twice) then "Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they they always send the poor?" (twice).

I really enjoyed you analysis of this song and you are one of the very few people who picked up on the underlying and over-arching theme of the song and video. Most people take their songs for face value and the funny thing about SOAD is that in songs like Sugar, Toxicity, Chopsuey and BYOB, those people who take them for granted as another noisy metal band or listen to their songs for the sake of having a good time, they point out in those songs how those people are part of the problem because they ignore the message completely. If you have not checked it out already the song Spiders is really one of Serj's best lyrical feats. The other singer is the guitarist Daron Malakian. He also has his own band: Scars on Broadway. Sugar is about all of the health fads and just how unhealthy they can be for you, Toxicity is about being complicit in contributing to urban decay, Chopsuey is a song for those who ignore the warning signs of suicide, and BYOB (Bring Your Own Bombs) are about sycophants who ignore the fact that the world is at war. Another huge focal point for the band and recurring theme is the Armenian Genocide because they are themselves Armenian.

B.Y.O.B. stands for "bring your own bombs" in this case ;).

Love this band...Every single song!!! Love Serj too, he is amazing! I think you would like some of his music that he does alone! I wish I could see them live! Alot of people think metal is just loud screaming, angry people but most is so much more! But this band has alot of deep messages in their songs! Besides Pantera, this is my second favorite band! I really enjoyed watching your reaction to the song and I hope you have listened to more of their music! Check out the song that Serj does called "Rumi" if you haven't already!

I’m not a singer but I find vocal coach videos for bands like this so interesting. I love Serj. Thanks for it.

One of the best guitar licks of any song over ever heard. Such a dopamine hit. Theees songs that give a seratonin dump or a norepinephrine/adrenaline dump, this kick gives me dopamine. I feel like I will survive when I heard it

You 100% need to react to some of Serj's solo work - I'd recommend Empty Walls or Harakiri personally.

I’ve toured with System of a Down. They are an amazing band but sometimes there songs have nothing to do with there titles. Like a former comment said they are very political. Many great songs plus always fun to watch a lot of energy in there videos and songs

Personally, my favourite song from SOAD is Chop Suey. It has so much going on for it, and you can tell Serj is a great singer. But I highly recommend putting on subtitles or something, because you'll never get what the heck they're saying. Especially not at the first listen.

Fun video. This reaction has inspired me to suggest another band. A rock band with some very distinctive vocals. They were popular for a hot minute in the mid-2000s No vocal coach which is curious and a shame, as the vocals are very distinctive. Please check out the official video “The Widow” by The Mars Volta.

S.O.A.D. is without question my favorite band of all time and I actually 100% agree with your Josh Groban comparison. Serj is just in such a dramatically different medium than Groban is, but I couldn't figure out who I could fairly compare Serj's heavenly voice to until I saw this video. Daron Malakian also has a great voice that you don't get to hear much of in this song. Songs like "Lost in Hollywood" or "Kill Rock 'n Roll" or "Dreaming" he has major vocal roles in. Also, this song is in protest to the Irag war so B.Y.O.B. stands for "Bring Your Own Bombs" in this case.

This is awesome! Thanks for this! I fucking love SOAD. The song is about the Iraq War. BYOB here is a play on the original meaning (Bring Your Own Bombs). The "party" is the Iraq War. Everybody's going to the Party (Iraq) to have a real good time. Dancing in the desert (The Middle East) blowing up (bombing) the sunshine". This connects with the more obvious parts of the song. Please do "System of a Down - Sugar" next!

hey ZvenArschFicker666 - there seems to be quite a few people suggesting Sugar as potentially the next one to take a look at - I will definitely add it to the list!

I think you need to dig in the lyrics when you react to music, especially rock and metal, it's always so deep
