Originally song was called "suicide", but the band members just used to say "suey" when speaking of the song, and was like 8 minute long with a various idea in it. They anticipated the label not being happy with a song named suicide and the song was too long anyway. So they Chop Suey to make it shorter and had a laugh about it, and it became the name of the song.
The idea of the song is how people are treated differently depending on how they die. Chop Suey is a double meaning. It was their way to pass off the suicide name originally to satisfy the record label. Its also a Chinese dish, I'm not sure if you remember them eatting Chinese Takeout at one small point in the video.
I have two things to say. First, am I seeing the time of upload correctly? How did you not know of this song before, it's a gold classic. Second, this song is fantastic and I loved it back in the day, listened to it on repeat. What the moral of this taught me back then is... well. Surprising I'm sure. "Every aspect of life is hilarious. You don't exist, now you do; that's funny as hell. You had no say in the matter, now you have anxiety." - Takahata101 Articulates perfectly what life is and what this song tries to relay. Heavy lyrics that at the end of the day just exist to entertain, no matter the theme.
Chop suey is a Chinese entree. You can see him eating from a Chinese-style food container They wanted to name the song "Self Righteous Suicide", but the powers that be didn't want such a controversial title, so instead they named it Chop suey. Their choppy style of music maybe? Or maybe it was a silly spoof name as a way of spitting in the face of whoever didn't want "suicide" in the title? Now I want Chinese (American-style) food...not what they normally eat in China... or so I'm told. My favorite SOAD song is Aerials
Another explanation for your doubt about angels could be that the ETERNAL FATHER created us and considers us all angels. I have to compliment the drummer, he reminded me of Phil Collins or Terry Williams 🌺
@pleaseshutup7053 the fact that a an aggressive metal song with lyrics about self righteous suicide being played by people with middle eastern heritage around the time al Qaeda committed the most famous modern terrorist attack and changed the world. I guess I could have expanded on it more but the timing led to this song getting suppressed a bit on American radio at least because they didn't want music that could be misconstrued as about 9-11 at the time
This song is more about the right everyone has to die the way they want, and for example if someone dies from drugs abuse, people will say they deserved it... so =(
I think Serj (vocals) said the lyrics on 'Chopsuey!' ... was a weird take on the execution of Jesus Christ and his final moments... The song itself is like a structural reference to Chinese noodles - a dish of twists and turns... 😂
Hi guys! This is a re-upload from a couple of month ago with a different edit
Reaction Avenged Sevenfold at a concert

They were not allowed to call the song ”suicide” thats why its chop suey.. like chop the word suicide in 2. 🤣
Brilliant!
I agree Inna, this is my favorite System of a Down song as well. Have a good day beautiful. 🙂
Thank you!

Se suponía que el título de la canción sería suicide, pero Columbia Records lo cambió a Chop suey para que fuera más amigable al público.
Nice reaction, check out Spiders next.
