The video I mentioned while talking to Muharam was titled as Understanding Serj Tankian and it was an insight into Serj's artistic, musical and political journey. Everyone watched it and the whole purpose for me to show it to them was so they understand this song. Sorry I don't upload much often and I never compromise these videos on the basis of quantity. It's much more about learning and understanding than just reactions to me and the participants.
Everything you upload is always welcome. Do not worry about whether it is frequent enough. You are doing an amazing thing. It is always well put together and worthwhile. Thank you for all that you do.
Might I make a suggestion for a reaction to music, band is named Bloodywood, they are quickly becoming popular world wide, coming out of India. ruclips.net/video/Gsy5sJy5_34/видео.html
I love the reactions you guys do. Please please please react to the band Tool, the song is called right in 2. Please have the lyrics up somewhere to follow. Thank you 🙏
I really appreciate all the work that goes into these uploads! It is amazing to hear new perspectives, and the people who get upset at differing views and understandings should click another video.
Please don't ever apologise for pausing songs. We can listen to the songs without reactions if we want to. We're here to watch these awesome reactions from your wonderful friends. Again, an amazing reaction....Serg would be proud :D
Sorry but they should apologize because watch the video then ask questions afterwards it ruins the whole video and song you'll have to pause in the beginning of the middle and the end it is rude
@@jackiestow4294 You can just google the original, there's literally 3 different versions on RUclips, lol. There's lyrics videos, with dozens of uploads, the official music video, and the SOAD auto-generated topic channel.
@@jackiestow4294 My guy, they don't even speak the language. How are they gonna understand anything if he doesn't pause periodically to explain it? It's a reaction video. They stop to discuss it. This is how most music reaction channels work, the good ones at least. They pause it and give their - dun dun dun- reaction.
That story he told about his daughter was so beautiful. To be in 6th grade and already have such an empathetic awareness of other people and the troubles they might have in their lives is heart-warming, and shows how well she is being raised 👏
"He was calling God throughout. Everyone was busy with the instruments while the guy singing was pointing upwards to God, saying God is watching everything that's happening wrong anywhere." Man, I laugh-cried at the beauty and truth of that. Thank you for all you do. Thank your for this channel that builds bridges across oceans and cultures.
In communicating this to these guys - you have come up with one of the most insightful interpretations of this song I've ever found. This is brilliant.
This is by far the best reaction to Chop Suey that I have seen on RUclips. So much depth and understanding in this reaction. Thank you so much for your willingness to experience it and share with everyone. 💜
Hold up! Did anyone else pick up on that? He compared the songs mixed elements to a traditional mixed foods dish from his culture and the song is called "Chop Suey" another traditional mixed foods dish which the band named the song after for that very reason. That's amazing.
We gobble down nourishment but there is good food that tastes bad and bad food that tastes good. Stay hungry my friend but be mindful of your diet. Peace.
Your videos are proof that all cultures of this world can learn, grow and understand one another. I am humbled by every video I watch of yours and I truly love and respect all that you do.
What I really love about this channel is that, while we're watching you help villagers in Pakistan discover a wider world, you're actually helping the wilder world discover how narrow it is. Keep it up and thanks!
the new conversational format is excellent. it's great seeing how people with dramatically different daily lives view the same thing. your channel is excellent. "chop suey" also explores the way people are judged for the way they die, whether it's drugs, suicide, illness, etc. so many people feel that (as an example) if an addict overdoses, it's their fault, and deserved it, when they were a human struggling with addiction, i.e. "...angels deserve to die". the song argues that everybody deserves dignity in death.
Amazing video! Mr Abdul Asiz Rind has a gift at reading people... He can see through everything. I always wonder how such songs are viewed, but it's not lost with only a basic understanding from some lyrics. He probably understands it better than most of us in the States. 🙏🏼
I could not agree more. Mr. Abdul Asiz Rind is my absolute favorite. The way he watches body language and studies what is in front of him, that is how he has gained true wisdom. I would love to listen to him tell stories about his life and pass on further wisdom to us all. Much love from Texas!
@@emmalynne7851 Right back at you Emma! He honestly reminds me of my Grandpa and he was very attuned to things like that... Likewise, there's also a great deal of depth to his voice and wastes no words on frivolities. I also appreciate his religious dialogue being a Christian. East of Houston myself... (About the only state where you can say you're from an area and no one has a clue where about you live because it's too darn big.)
Serge (the singer) was sent to opera singing lessons as a child and his parents were furious that he started a rock band instead, that is till he started bringing home the massive pays checks that is. He is also anti war! i was at a concert once were disturbed and a solder were cheered for stating they killed 13 "insurgents" (me and my date were Canadian and this was Ohio and we were in shock with their brainwashed response.) when Serge came out, he gave everyone shit for cheering about it! me and my date were the only ones cheering him for it! out of 30,000 people! i had to explain it to the entire crowd around me. they didn't feel so proud after that.
I don't know many soldiers that would brag to random strangers about how many people they killed in war. Most soldiers have some form of PSTD or have to live their entire lives with the memories of wars they fought when they were young.
"Chop Suey!" by System of a Down for me is like a musical journey through self-doubt, inner turmoil, and the big questions about life and death. The lyrics dig into feelings of guilt, second-guessing your place in the world, and trying to make sense of everything. The title "Chop Suey" is kind of a symbol for the messiness and confusion of life. The song's emotional intensity and raw delivery really bring out the struggles and battles going on inside the singer's head. Thank you for sharing and having this discussion with everyone. I love seeing and hearing the different reactions! Thank you! ❤
I’m only a few minutes in but I love Muharam’s reactions so far, with his hand gestures, head bopping, and that pensive expression on his face. ‘Wow sir, I’m terrified ( :|’
Love this style of reaction where you guys have an in-depth discussion about the lyrical themes, the cultural influences of the music, and the emotional tenor of the video. It really puts the spotlight on how thoughtful the reactors are and also uplifts the original content (in this case the song). Please keep it up!
its brilliant seeing people so far from the usual audience reacting and learning the deeper meaning and being blown away. The fact they can identify shows us that the lyrical content is something we can all experience.
"Odds and ends, assorted pieces" is the literal meaning of Chop Suey in Chinese. I feel it's a very fitting description on how we all have come to be due to our own separate life experiences and still be able to share this tiny blue dot in space. Peace/JT
Nice work describing the song and its meaning, well done !! SOSD always tells something to think about in their lyrics. And your new filming place looks great 🤘
Something I love about music and lyrics is how interpretations vary based on a person's experience. The band has said the song is about how deaths are viewed differently depending upon how the person died--like if someone dies in a car accident, the death is tragic while if someone dies because of an overdose, the death is stupid, maybe even deserved because they see it as a punishment for becoming addicted to drugs. Regardless of the lyrical intent, I enjoyed your interpretation of a conflict between two people within the song as it's similar to my experience with depression and suicidal thoughts--two parts of my brain fighting back and forth over how to go on or not. Thank you for making these videos! As a metal fan, seeing everyone's takeaways from the genre is always a delight!
Thank you for this careful and great video about a very heavy but good song. Having an additional perspective helps so much with enjoying and understanding art!
I was so happy to see this notification! I haven't seen anything from your channel in a long time. Your translations were done very well. I'm glad to see you're all still on this journey of discovery ❤
So happy i found you guys! I have watched a few now and i love the interpretion everyone has and it amazes me how everyone is being so accepting to new things. I especially am fond of Muharam and Abdul. Muharam for his pure heart and Abdul for being so wise it leaves me speechless. I send love to all of you!
This was a great video. You can tell his analysis was well thought out and studied. I've been listening to that song for years, but he showed me how much more there is to this song.
System of a down was my first ever album I listened to as a child.i love their music. As soon as I see you were reacting to one of my all time favorite songs I watched it immediately thinking" I can't wait to see their reaction to this,it's loud and controversial,surely it will be fun to see how you all receive it." However you have actually TAUGHT ME about them and this is only your first reaction. I didn't know the story behind the songs title. And then hering your interpretation blew my mind. I NEVER thought of this song this way and it makes SUCH a difference in my own interpretation . I'm so impressed with you guys every time I watch another video I'm learning and enjoying these experiences as though I myself am experiencing them for the first time again. Thanks for your continued hard work and time. I look forward to whatever you have to share next.
I always search for SOAD reaction videos as a rule, anyway. But to see a reaction to them on one of my favorite channels was a treat! You did such a great job explaining it to them and giving room for them to share their own thoughts and wisdom. I think the members of SOAD would love this.
Man this song. I can’t help the dancing/head banging. The breakdown is very moving music/notes wise. Almost and always brings to tears. I almost don’t understand how they can just sit there with out at least tapping their foot or shaking a finger.
I am probably close to Chacha's age ( I have no idea how old he is though) . I grew up listening to Rock music , all genres . I imagine it is different from anything he has experienced in his life. I really enjoy his insight
I am in tears, happy tears! I am so thankful to have found this beautiful Chanel on RUclips. From my soul to yours, God bless you all! All my love for your families.
Left guy: presenting the best monolog about rock music and songs, describing every aspect and meaning of the song.. Right guy: D. LOL awesome video! Love these guys reactions.
I thought the line "Why'd you leave your keys upon the table? You wanted to!" was a reference to someone knowing they wouldn't go back home because they intended to die.
I always assumed it was abandonment, interestingly my father now in his late 60s loved this song when I was teenager. I brought him the album but he only liked this song. It was also a litterial bastard so perhaps that explains it, a bit of belated teenage angst in his middle age 😂
Damon spoke about this song, saying that it's about the tragic reality that many people believe that some human lives are more important than others, and their deaths only "worthy" of mourning and sorrow if you lived the way the world thinks you should have. So, if you were, (using his own example in the interview he gave), a drug addict who died of an overdose, many would say you deserved it, you were selfish, etc. and have no compassion for the pain in your life. Many "angels" have lost their fight with depression and other forms of mental illness, but because of the social stigma surrounding these issues, their lives are viewed as less important. I think it's a brilliant song. I remember seeing the music video on MTV after it came out, and was hooked on SOAD ever since.
Hearing them makes me proud of my 🇦🇲Armenian origin. After the reunion SOAD performed for the very first time in Armenia on the 24th of April in 2015. The date is the commeroation of the 1915 events in Turkey. There were mixed reaction from the public and also the government on whether they should allow the concert to happen on that date. At the end, SOAD performed on the 24th of April in the sport-concert complex which is literally on the same hill where the memorial of Armenian genocide is located (very strong sy bolism)... Sadly, I missed this concert and also later Serj's solo concert (open-air free!), but long story short, please, please, check out Holly mountains! And if you want to hear more of the Armenian style ornamenting in their songs, you should definitely listen to i-e-a-i-a-i-o! And thanks for the amazing analysis, really enjoy watching them ))
After watching this reaction to SOAD's Chop Suey, all I can say is, if RUclips isn't one of the greatest channels on the internet, then I don't know what is! Thank you for this!
I’d like to suggest reactions to Joni Mitchell-Blue. You can tell them how she gave up a secret daughter for adoption and the anguish she felt that fuelled her songs. Love these videos!!! Keep them coming.
As others have said, no apologies necessary for pausing the songs, as it is much more fascinating to hear how the reactors view and process what they're seeing. It is always interesting to hear people from very different walks of life reacting to things that may be not even a second thought to myself, as this is a song I've heard countless times since I was a kid.
I'm a 47y old bass player and really enjoying your channel, I like how you are explaining lyrics and talking about music. Music make us closer and you are a gentleman. Cheers from Italy
This has got to be one of the best reaction channels I’ve ever seen I like it because these are genuine reactions from people that I’ve never seen something like these. Thank you for this. It’s very enjoyable. You need to show them some black Sabbath war pigs.
Every metalhead since 1998: I don't quite understand the lyrics of this song but I love it. Chacha in 2023 after one hearing: This is what it means. Every neighborhood in the world needs a Chacha... we westerners push our elders to obsolescence while they are the most precious elements of a society. Big love to Pakistan and its awesome people.
Oh my god, this is one of my favorite songs ever!!! So excited for them to see it! If you play them Tool (please!) you can point out how they often mix in very middle-eastern sounds and instruments in their music 😊
Very interesting reaction and discussion. I am a bit sad though that we didn't get to see a discussion about the way the lyrics reference and quote Essa/Jesus in the don't. I imagine it was discussed but didn't make it into the final video.
What an interesting intrpretation, that the lyrics protrait the discussion between 2 characters. Not how I understand the lyrics but there is a valid point of view in looking at it like that.
I absolutely adore seeing people who might not be subjected to it experience the music that shaped my life What a wonderful reaction and I wish you all the best this was great
Sadly an incorrect description of what the song means in the intended context, BUT, I love seeing your interpretation of what it means, and what they feel about this. Awesome vid, love spreading this song in general
una de las mejores reacciones que hemos visto, su reflexion es extraordinaria, siempre es interesante ver sus videos y reacciones, esperamos haya muchas mas , sus reflexiones son brillantes y tenemos que deirlo.
The way these Uncles are studying this music, some of us are studying their reactions as we have grown in formative years with these lyrics and music. PRAISE GOD
Thanks for the video! This one is a really difficult one due to the somewhat confusing nature of the lyrics, but I do think it's largely about how society judges those who engage in self destructive behaviors. It might be interesting to see the reactions to BYOB by the same band as well, but I understand the political aspects of that may be a little too controversial for the channel.
The old dude always gets it, language barrier? I think not! Old man knows his scripture and he could tell ole Serg was shouting at the heavens at the injustice of it all. Good one guys! Serg just makes ya feel it and I'm sure we've all had a angel that had to die, not necessarily suic. But we can all relate to WHY! WHY! WHY!
Loved the discussion and themes surrounding this song. Please have them react to the song "He is" by Ghost as it's on the topic of godmen and religion and I feel it would be interesting to hear the analysis of it from the elders.
Another amazing reaction video Adnan. Thank you to our friends for giving us their views and take on the music. Bless Chacha for being able to see to the heart of the message. The man simply takes it all in and then tells it exactly as it he sees it. More often than not he is absolutely correct. His wisdom is inspiring.
I appreciate all these reactions thank you. I believe the meaning of when angels deserve to die is when someone is a beautiful soul and maybe dies of drugs alcohol ect then people look down on them like they deserved it. Judged on their manor of death

That story he told about his daughter was so beautiful.

I could only wish to have been so wise at such a young age.

All jokes aside, dude has an amazing voice. Met him a few times too, great guy.
He is a pretty good dude! And talented in everything he turns his hands to. I met him here in NZ a few years ago, top bloke
One my favorite bands! Love it
Just to say I like the new studio set up,and the amazing art and items,,great vid as usual.🙏👋
After watching this reaction to SOAD's Chop Suey, all I can say is, if RUclips isn't one of the greatest channels on the internet, then I don't know what is! Thank you for this!
I’d like to suggest reactions to Joni Mitchell-Blue. You can tell them how she gave up a secret daughter for adoption and the anguish she felt that fuelled her songs. Love these videos!!! Keep them coming.
I love how the “father” part of the song came to be
As others have said, no apologies necessary for pausing the songs, as it is much more fascinating to hear how the reactors view and process what they're seeing. It is always interesting to hear people from very different walks of life reacting to things that may be not even a second thought to myself, as this is a song I've heard countless times since I was a kid.
IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO REACT TO GUNS N ROSE 🌹
De De mean Yes? I love this Projekt of you.
Thank you for sharing.
That room is beautifully decorated 💖💖
For me, listening to the discussion about Faith, that this song inspired, was truly interesting
Really enjoying this channel and it's guests, and really looked forward to this one... peace from Canada
I'm a 47y old bass player and really enjoying your channel, I like how you are explaining lyrics and talking about music. Music make us closer and you are a gentleman. Cheers from Italy
I understand this song in a different way when I hear it interpreted by such a different culture to my own.
Good work guys, thank you.
This has got to be one of the best reaction channels I’ve ever seen I like it because these are genuine reactions from people that I’ve never seen something like these. Thank you for this. It’s very enjoyable. You need to show them some black Sabbath war pigs.
Sending love and peace to you guys
A few suggestions for future videos. Keine lust by Rammstein. Tool's sober. Alice in chains - nutshell (unplugged)
So much wisdom in one single video, I'm suscribing
Finally... I was waiting for this since for months amigo hahaha
I saw system of a down twice when they came to Argentina and it was unforgettable
I am so glad I found this channel.
Every metalhead since 1998: I don't quite understand the lyrics of this song but I love it.
Chacha in 2023 after one hearing: This is what it means.
Every neighborhood in the world needs a Chacha... we westerners push our elders to obsolescence while they are the most precious elements of a society. Big love to Pakistan and its awesome people.
I love the old man, he's my favorite in these videos. He's so observant, articulate, and wise.
Oh my god, this is one of my favorite songs ever!!! So excited for them to see it! If you play them Tool (please!) you can point out how they often mix in very middle-eastern sounds and instruments in their music 😊
Very interesting reaction and discussion. I am a bit sad though that we didn't get to see a discussion about the way the lyrics reference and quote Essa/Jesus in the don't. I imagine it was discussed but didn't make it into the final video.
What an interesting intrpretation, that the lyrics protrait the discussion between 2 characters. Not how I understand the lyrics but there is a valid point of view in looking at it like that.
Next should be let the bodies hit the floor
LOL
I enjoy yalls perspective for sure gentlemen. 👍
I absolutely adore seeing people who might not be subjected to it experience the music that shaped my life
What a wonderful reaction and I wish you all the best this was great
Sadly an incorrect description of what the song means in the intended context, BUT, I love seeing your interpretation of what it means, and what they feel about this. Awesome vid, love spreading this song in general
una de las mejores reacciones que hemos visto, su reflexion es extraordinaria, siempre es interesante ver sus videos y reacciones, esperamos haya muchas mas , sus reflexiones son brillantes y tenemos que deirlo.
Beautiful work
I loved the man's tale of his daughter's young wisdom about the missing wallet.
how has it taken so long for someone to give me this amazing explanation
Nice set. I was not shown this video and have reapplied notifications.
The way these Uncles are studying this music, some of us are studying their reactions as we have grown in formative years with these lyrics and music. PRAISE GOD
Thanks for the video! This one is a really difficult one due to the somewhat confusing nature of the lyrics, but I do think it's largely about how society judges those who engage in self destructive behaviors. It might be interesting to see the reactions to BYOB by the same band as well, but I understand the political aspects of that may be a little too controversial for the channel.
The old dude always gets it, language barrier? I think not! Old man knows his scripture and he could tell ole Serg was shouting at the heavens at the injustice of it all. Good one guys! Serg just makes ya feel it and I'm sure we've all had a angel that had to die, not necessarily suic. But we can all relate to WHY! WHY! WHY!
They understand in their own way. ❤
Loved the discussion and themes surrounding this song. Please have them react to the song "He is" by Ghost as it's on the topic of godmen and religion and I feel it would be interesting to hear the analysis of it from the elders.
TIL what this song is actually about! Thanks man
Another amazing reaction video Adnan. Thank you to our friends for giving us their views and take on the music.
Bless Chacha for being able to see to the heart of the message. The man simply takes it all in and then tells it exactly as it he sees it. More often than not he is absolutely correct. His wisdom is inspiring.
Oh wow....I would love to meet these esteemed men.
I couldn’t have explained this song any better
I appreciate all these reactions thank you.
I believe the meaning of when angels deserve to die is when someone is a beautiful soul and maybe dies of drugs alcohol ect then people look down on them like they deserved it.
Judged on their manor of death
Agree that we can steer away from the suicide topic. I do hope we do more grunge and metal
I guess I just finally meant to take note. I love Aziz Abdul. He always stands out.
TryBalls is why im on you tube everyday
More System of a Down reactions pleaaaase
