I think it's cause that parts in half time, so the displacement isn't nearly as jarring. The melody is only half as far out of time than the rest of the song.
All jokes aside serj really does have an amazing voice and you can hear the level of emotion he’s able to insert while keeping control really well in this video.
@@iSikk420 I was reading some of the comments as the beginning of the song was playing, came across yours and thought "It can't be that funny". I can now confirm that what you said was true. That was great.
It's the recording of the vocals layered on top of the official instrumental track. His vocals gets covered a lot by the recordings to mix in with the music
It's interesting hearing the background strings in second verse. Always a novelty in hearing deconstructed versions of songs and appreciating how the full verison is put together :)
@@psychotropicanaRecords No it isn't. Listen to the drums. The drums highlight the downbeats with kicks and the 3s with the snare. Serj starts singing on the snare hits a lot in this video. Therefore, it's probably offset by half a bar.
Actually, inspite of the constant clench of anxiety I had because of the offbeat vocals, I still quite enjoyed it because the instrumental as well as the vocals are individually amazing. Apart from the father part which was pretty cursed.
From the moment vocal are supposed to start until "I don't think you trust", it felt infuriating, but I lost it at the "In... IIN" and proceeded to laugh for a good minute and a half. The last minute actually sounds dope
Drummers: *wants to die* Bassist: trying to figure out who keeps unplugging their amp Guitarists: doesn't notice everything is wrong Singer: "why are you guys off"
its just the vocals, now do it with each track
You know what, I just might
you monster
And they say no one can do worse crime than Hitler
@@Coolcmuk Oh no
Wouldn’t that just be like…. Removing the last beat of the song
It sounds like Serj forgot the lyrics to Chop Suey and Daron is quietly guiding him through the chorus.
nah fr
Yeah 😂 Its like at a talent show, when someone sings realy bad
True
🤣🤣🤣🤣
best comment of 2023 fr
When you play a song through discord and someone starts to sing along
Relatable lol
I'm the one singing knowing damn well I'm not on time with it but still singing anyways
😞
R.m then i guess i hate you
(altrough im also doing it hehehe)
I did that too
props to Daron in the back for helping Serj out 💀
now I can't unhear it💀thank you man
Sucks that Serj hit amnesia specifically about the chorus of chop suey but it's ok Daron can help him

It made me notice how soft and pretty Daron's backing vocals are

especially during the FATHER part LOL

2:22
Serj: *FATHER*
Daron: fAtHEr
*Autistic screeching intensifies*
Lmao 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It sounds like Serj is always late for the song, sometimes u can feel him trying to catch up but never does. Just great.
Bleak
It sounds exactly like that I hate it
No shit Sherlock
He tries
Me in my orchestra:
2:47 from this point on it actually sounds really melodic and nice especially because you can hear his actual vocal talent more clearly
Yes 100%!
I really like it this way lol.
I think it's cause that parts in half time, so the displacement isn't nearly as jarring. The melody is only half as far out of time than the rest of the song.
When he speeds up, it sounds like he realizes he's off beat and is trying to catch up
Imagine someone listens to this without knowing the actual song
Hahaha
I can say, having never heard the original, this sounds pretty good.
Me
I have heard this song and this sounds so weird

This is what anxiety sounds like.

This is fantastic. It's like working in a karaoke bar and having to listen to every absolute worst of screamers.

the second singer is Daron btw :)

The after images behind Serj look like he was super fast and he came in JUST at the right time to give us this masterpiece.

Haha yep exactly.
I was laughing so hard! it sounds like he forgot the song and is singing it after him

It's weird how in this version you can clearly understand what he's saying.

Ive never heard his lyrics word for word so clearly before
For real XD
Same though for real
Gives me a lot more appreciation for dude’s voice.
Main vocal is definitely volume boosted
Lmao. Never realized how much the backing vocals sounded like a dying animal at 2:26
the father part sounds like an absolute horror movie scene tho
1000th like 🎉
It's funny for me tho. Imagine you're in a karaoke bar
Idk why but I burst out laughing
High school talent show vibes
1:24 the RAAA got me😂
As soon as the lyrics started: "oh no"
Accurate
Same
It sounds like he’s actively learning the lyrics as he is singing and it brings me such pure bliss
The karaoke machine is lagging.
This is me trying to sing in my schools talent show.
I mean, I wonder if that's how they got the original lyrics
Iugoslavia?
just sounds like me trying to do karaoke
It’s like no one thought this guy could sing until now. Like the instrumental doesn’t completely drown out how good his voice is
1:45 IN .........Myyyyeee
I played this to my friend who had never heard it, now he thinks it’s the original
The trickster
That’s more evil than anything I could ever do

Me last week
Don’t call me out like that it was my first time singing to a microphone! :(

his voice is so good! displacing the vocals back a quarter note really highlights his technique and quality
This actually really interesting. Serj has the vocal range of Freddie Mercury but it's kinda hidden when mixed with the music.
That’s how I felt!
Some of it sounds right, some of it has too much delay. But I think it's good, maybe less delay would be much more better in some parts.
A quarter of a note... what? It's a whole fucking bar off at least.
@@psychotropicanaRecords No it isn't. Listen to the drums. The drums highlight the downbeats with kicks and the 3s with the snare. Serj starts singing on the snare hits a lot in this video. Therefore, it's probably offset by half a bar.

My first thought when I heard the drum sticks off time was "fucking hell"
Holy shit his voice is so good. Never noticed it before between the chaos.
Honestly, that's what I noticed too... No matter how shitty this version sounds, Serj's voice is awesome.
yes
After listening to his solo stuff, you quickly realize how great his voice actually is
He's ok, don't blow it out of proportion.
