Jokes aside, this requires talent and understanding of music to pull off. I applaud you. Properly ruined!

@ThereIRuinedIt You are the evil villain we should all strive to be.

Not ruined at all. Made so much more fun understandable and BETTER.

@There I Ruined It okay so whats the name of your bluegrass band :) grew up on bluegrass with my dad and love your work!

That perfect blend is what I like to call (in what is probably a contradiction) a high quality shitpost.

@There I Ruined It  now inflict emotional damage. Trololo but it's Metallica's Unforgiven

@There I Ruined It but you didn't ruin it, it sounded good

@There I Ruined It Beautiful disaster I thank you

Properly ruining something takes skill abound. Except jokes.

@There I Ruined It You sir are one of the best parody artists I have heard since Weird Al himself. Sheer talent and humor in these lol

I cannot anything better than the explanation of this comment. You sir, are awesome.

Understanding of music? How about that mad video editing skill. Direction. This is so much more than just great music.

@There I Ruined It that was effective. Well done.

Correction: some talent and lack of understanding music

@There I Ruined It You did more than ruin it you evil monster. Good job. Keep it up.

Thank you sir. I know just enough about music to inflict maximum damage.


The anticipation of the slide whistle has become a national obsession.

it's not a slide whistle, it's a siren whistle .

I wonder how I will cope with the general absence of slide whistles in conventional music after binge watching all the videos on this channel. In the UK.

It's from the YouTube channel grand illusions btw

International.

Much love from Germany. <3


Am I the only one that thinks this actually sounds pretty damn good?! Like I thought the point was to ruin the song not get it stuck in my head for hours!

i wantedbto like but theres 777 likes... so I domt want to ruin it! hehe so I rather comment... lets get the follow up comment to 777 likes too for good luck? hehe

This is the catch of this channel. All of his works are actually brilliant.

@Tom Withey to be fair

This song is basically like the ant man meme "Its horrible, i love it"

@Hyrum Powell oh no it's the sarcasm police

@Eddie B. And forbid people have sarcasm too

@Tom Withey ok, God Saint Tom, didn't realize you were the apex quality inspector for music quality. God forbid people have different tastes

You’d like Van Halen bluegrass “Strummin’ with the devil and the Clevery’s then. I highly recommend them.

The dead south is making a full cover. They are a bluegrass band so maybe its somewhat the same 😂 so we can enjoy the whole song haha

Yes. You are.<br>It's impressive as an act of musical destruction but if you like it unironically then you don't deserve to have ears.

Yes. You are.
It's impressive as an act of musical destruction but if you like it unironically then you don't deserve to have ears.

Getting stuck in your head is different than sounding good or liking a song.


It's unfathomable how you've turned my depression anthem into a jolly track.
Truly awe-inspiring.
This is nothing short of being a genius


This may be a wild suggestion, but how about a mariachi version of Welcome to the Black Parade? I call it My Chemical Horchata.

As a mexican that only has seen mariachis in american movies, secundo la moción

As a Mexican-American and MCR fan, I would love to see this!

I subscribed after watching a few of this guy's videos, but now with hope to see him do the one you suggested, I'm adding notifications.


I would have been horrified... if you hadn't done such a great job!!


Man this song is 20 years old?? I remember so well how me and my friends made circle pits in the clubs, when they played Chop Suey and what a blast when we saw Soad live in 2003. Good ol' bluegrass times

@Xerotonin Any attemt to WOD and everyone involved got kicked out of the clubs :D

Yup i remember 9th grade we ran out to this song in JV basketball


Almost better than the original, son. I need a full version.


There are endless versions of this song and they never fail to make me smile


So being a fan of both genre you have no clue how happy I am that I found this!! Thank you

In case you haven't heard of them yet, you may want to check out Hayseed Dixie.


I keep coming back to this place every week and I’m always surprised just how good it is. Well done


It's amazing how well can Chop Suey sound even if you put it in bluegrass, orchestra or in jazz


As a System Of A Down enjoyer, this might just be better than the original version.


These are the best things I've ever seen - definitely need full versions!!


I am actually in love with this! This works sooooo well. You sir are a genius.


Why every SOAD song doesn't have a kazoo is absolutely beyond me frankly.


This is hilarious and takes some kick ass talent! ❤


This is hilarious. I need a full length rendition


astounding that this isn’t more popular. thank you for this masterpiece


Is it ruined, when you can't get it out of your head?<br>I love it! <3

Is it ruined, when you can't get it out of your head?
I love it! <3


i need full versions of every single song on this channel ASAP


I hope everyone realizes this requires genius and musical acumen most people do not possess or could even comprehend. Well done.


You are seriously under rated. These videos are fucking masterpieces.

@There I Ruined It Acknowledging the greats, I like it.


Lol this is great. This is one of my favorite songs turned in to a genre i actually like quite a bit. Bravo


the slide whistle gets me every time LOL


Dear god this was awful...ly good! I want to hear the whole song in bluegrass!


0:24 That banjo on guitar caught me off guard


I hate myself for how much I love this song


I think this is my favorite from this channel but it’s very hard to choose a favorite, fine work!


This is a huge pile of... Gold! Well done, sir! (SOAD fan here btw)


Okay I loved that more than I thought. I was avoiding it as a SOAD fan from the Bluegrass State 🤣 I love it. Shavo's smile at the end fixes everything.


I honestly hate how much I love this. Also I'm HERE for that

S L I D E  W H I S T L E


You can clearly see that manic look of proper bluegrass musicians!


I’m just binging on all of these right now, they are great!

I got one! Smooth Criminal, but with an ambient and/or Celtic style (think Enya or Lorena McKennit) or a sappy 90s love ballad-style (Any of the “softer” music genres really.) But here’s the real fun part: it’s not cover of the original by MJ, but the Alien Ant Farm version. So it would be an insane cover of a cover.

I would also pay good money for an album of bastardized Christmas songs. Just saying...

I love every single word of this comment!!!


I could square-dance to this all night long, wheee! x


Okay, but how come such a metal video goes so well with this??? Lol, awesome job!


I like this more than the original just cuz of the perfectly timed slide whistle 0:41


This is way better than it deserves to be.


Chop SOOO-EEEEEEEEEY!

The pig squeal during the drum break was perfect.


Omfg my friend linked me to this channel the other day, and I cannot stop cackling at these. Reminds me of bad lip reads combined with music video shreds in the best way. They make me crack up too. Thank you for this content! 😂


It sounds like the blue grass version could've been the original. Amazing.


We need fill albums of all these remakes. Firkin genious


Really good. Better than the original. Love to see the Bluegrass band


When your cousin becky said she likes system of a down so you gather the boys

Uncle Becky is my new found love on reddit stream XD


So, when can we expect a full version of this?


This wasn't ruining the song. More like appreciating it to the point of a successful transformation


You're the worse. This will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life and you're to blame. Good job.


I literally just spit out my food from laughing too hard


Some explain to me right now how is this "ruined"<br>Shit's awesome.

Some explain to me right now how is this "ruined"
Shit's awesome.


This is just awesomely fun and brilliant. I hate you for making me love such wonderful horrors.


Once again, you’ve used your degree in composition and minor in theory to create masterpieces.


This is both the best thing and the worst thing I have seen all week. Keep  up the good work!


This is both a beauty and an atrocity at the same time. I hate it, and I love it.

Earned a sub. Good job


It just gets better....or worse, with every new video. 😄


How have I not seen this before? This is excellent!


What the hell is this?! It’s amazing, great job


That's three versions of this song I've heard: the original,  a version done on medieval instruments and now,  blue grass.


I've never heard a folk punk song before but any time it comes up I think of this


That must have taken so long to record without laughing lol


It's not that bad. But the bluegrass band Hayseed Dixie is actually really good. They've done alot of bluegrass covers of AC/DC.


Actually, this is some pretty great bluegrass.


I have this in my head for the last 3 days, thanks


I came here for the slide whistle. 10/10 Did not disappoint!


Actually I like this.  Yes takes a lot of talent to do this.


Putting anything into a bluegrass style will always be funny.


This is one of those things that you didn’t realize you needed until you saw it


I just discovered this, YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT MOMENT OF PURE LAUGHTER !!!!


Ahahahahah nice one , even if it is in an another style it remains my favourite song


In an alternate multiverse, this is the song that hit one billion while the SOAD one was almost unknown.


This is fantastic, how does it work so well??


This entire channel is the definition of "you failed the task successfully" good job sir Keep up the good work XD


This is not an improvement over the original, but I am glad it exists.


This is actually pretty damn good, fellers!


holy hell! This shit is stuck in my brain now. Terrible stuff. Loved it. Send more.


I really want to see soad's reaction to this brilliant rendition of their song.


I don't know if I should laugh or cry but anyways good job this sounds so real! Can you do A.D.I.D.A.S. by Korn next?


i want this for every cult song :D loved it


this could literally pass as a bluegrass song bro 😭😭


Now I’ll never be able to listen to the original one the same way as before


I hate how much I love this, and I love how much I hate it. Great job!!


If you are who I think you are, I'm glad to see that you're still going strong.🖖


This is my favorite thing on the internet, period.


This is so good I have to be living in a simulation.


I never thought I would hear a bluegrass song with the lyrics "Angels deserve to die."


How can this sound so awful and perfect at the same time?


LMAO!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really needed that laugh right now! lol


This song is already a meme, I think I say "grab your brush put on a little makeup" half the time I say "wake up"


That side of my brain: TASTY CHOP SUEYYYY!!!


Now I need to know if it’s possible to take a bluegrass song and make a punk cover


I played this for my sister and now I'm a father.


Now that I hear this I want to know what it would sound like if it were Andy and Dwight who did this


This was actually fire🔥can someone put it out?


Why is there no full version of this available on Spotify? (asking for a friend)


This is on par with Ironhorse's bluegrass Metallica covers and that Thunderstruck Banjo thing


Another awesome version. Makes me remember of Burlap to Cashmere songs.


bro... this is hilarious lmao the more i surf the channel it gets better and better hahaha


Oh man!! Ruined it? Nah man, that was awesome!


How can I hate and love something at the same time?


love the edit the music it takes brains to pull this out!


We all talked about it and agreed that we need reaction videos from the actual artists…

Should I draft an email?


It's so fantastically horrible! It will be in my head forever!


I had to push my cousin from my lap and pull my dip out from my lip when I first heard this.


Now you'll have to record the full song. Amazing. Properly ruined.


So janky and manky it goes right around to good again.


System of a Down has always been very country


Made me want to continue living..thanks!


As soon as I heard the first “Wake up!” I subscribed and turned on notifications so fast 🤣


You ruined one of my absolute favorite songs!
AND I LOVE IT!
wait .. then you didn't ruin it.
Now I'm confused.


Holy shit... Napoleon Dynamite in the background. Nice touch sir.

Can't tell you how many times I watched this before saying, "Wait ... is that?"


Awesome! And all those little details <3


HOLY FUCK AS SOMEONE FROM APPALACHIA THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LEGIT BLUEGRASS SONG WHAT!?!! Especially with the untouched depressing ass lyrics XD


Dustin, you're killing me man! This is so funny. The pig...I'm dead.

@There I Ruined It - probably a Steve Tenpenny video.

I think I found that pig scene in an otherwise terrible “bro country” music video about a barn dance 😆


There's already a chop suey from bluegrass band dead south but this is good too.


If System of a Down's nephews were also their sons.


The cut to the pig at :50 made me lose it.


Absolutely loving your twisted takes on songs.
One small request...  Any chance you could ruin the songs a little slower...  As in do full length songs?  I would LOVE to make some karaoke versions of some of these, but waiting an average of an hour to sing and then singing less than 2 minutes is no fun.
You have a real gift, please do some full songs!

Hey! Some of these you can just use the underlying songs as karaoke tracks. Like “Every Breath You Take - Honky Tonk” is just Your Cheating Heart unchanged and you can do all the verses of the real song. But yeah, some are kind of their own thing - full length songs just get really time consuming for me :) Though you could loop the shorter ones to add verses if you’re audio savvy. If you sing one - record it for us please!


My favorite! 🤍🤍🤍<br>System of the Farm 😉


So this is what Alabama is doing during Covid.

Am I the only one who finds this utter hilarious ;)


The fuckin slide whistle kills me everytime 🤣


this is exactly how SOAD songs sound in John Dolmayan’s head


Damn, I love this shiit. Lmao best cover ever with the pig sound and everything.


I am so disappointed this is not a full song


Can’t get enough of these, where my dungarees at


This one made mine and my friend's day. Song well ruined.


If you ever get access to a time machine I expect the appropriate shenanigans to be pulled.


I bet since you got plugged on Absolute Radio during Matt Dysons Social Ammo your follower rating has rocketed, I’m among them, so hilarious. Keep it up!


That's a tune The Cleverlys would do.<br>They do comedy covers in Bluegrass.

That's a tune The Cleverlys would do.
They do comedy covers in Bluegrass.


"System of a Hoedown". I hate it but also love it


That was a million times better than the original.


Love it i hate to ask you but i really love to see an Disturbed song being ruined by ya or slipknot XD Thanks for the laughs!


I had to sit on a table for a moment after this one.


I hope billy strings covers this one day


Dude I found this from Loudwire and I find that absolutely hilarious.


Can you do WAP like a gregorian church hymn?


Alternative Title: Wake Up CHUWACHU but the lyrics can be understandable


I'm never going to escape.  You've entered my recommendations and you'll stay there because I can't get enough of this.


I wonder if this influenced The Dead South to do a bluegrass cover of Chop Suey


I want a reaction video of Serj and the rest watching this video lmao


I never liked this song until I heard this version


This is unironically way better than the original, tho. 🤣


I feel like this is attacking my middle school self as a soad fan in bluegrass country


This set me off but it made me laugh so unnecessary hard


Turns out this is the original and it's just been lost media for many, many years.


Unironically The Dead South has an amazing cover of this song


This is 1000x better than the Richard Cheese cover.


Hey, sorry I just noticed your comment - love your channel! I've got some new musical atrocities if you're interested!


credit to Weird AL for making this happen!


My new favoirte YouTube channel.  Just keeps getting better.


This is better than the Lil Uzi Vert cover! 😂


Prior to discovering TIRI I wasn't a fan of bluegrass. Sure am now. Yeehaw!


Channel title incorrect, this shit rocks


Thanks. I hate it. Never stop making making these videos. :)


"System of a Hoedown" made this that much better.

Thanks! Surprisingly few people noticed that :)


Thanks for all this cursed music. I love you.


Anyone who says they're not slapping their knee while listening to this is a liar.


this is the greatest video on the internet


All of time and the evolution of our universe and species conspired for the final emergence of this youtube channel...  I love everything about it.


If anyone wants to hear this concept played straight, Dead South has a cover


Does anyone know the Chop Suey version where Serj sings really high but also the beats are different? Sorry idk how else to describe it otherwise and I'm going crazy trying to find it.

@GLENNJAMIN that's what I meant thanks!!

There's a version by TheMGMJr called "Flimb Questy"


Listening makes me forget that this is a PARODY


The vaguely goth girl in the straw hat, I’m fucking deceased like those angels that deserve to be


Tut tut, some people just go around ruining everything. Keep it up. 👍🏼


How I hate this band. This is actually what I think of this band. Very accurate.


System of a Hoedown... We need Ryan Stiles in this one... :D


Ducarvalho. Ducarpaccio. Ducaravaggio. Gostei pra cacete.


Alright, this channel fuckin rules.  Sub-god-damn-scribed.


Ruined it? You ruined nothing! Anything in you're channel has been improved


Again here, its not juydt melodyne, you had to resing the lead! Brilliant


The band The Dead South, a bluegrass band, has recently released their cover of this song. It's way better, not as campy.


I'll never be able to bang my head to Chopsuey again. Succesfully Ruined.


I don't care who I offend. <br>This is better than the original.

I don't care who I offend.
This is better than the original.


i cant be the only one to suggest this but we need a ruined it ai. thanks


Лучше оригинала))

Лучше оригинала))

Сергей Сергеевич Моргунов


Slightly more tolerable than the original version.


This shit is stuck in my fucking head I can’t anymore but I keep coming back why am I like this


I hate what you have done..... but ill be damned if you didn't do an amazing job at doing it. You are amazingly talented and thank you for ruining some of my favorite songs


Honestly,  this version is way better than the shit original!


The two confederate flags show a level of editing that is far too underappreciated.


Guess what my mother-in-law is getting under the tree next Christmas. Thank ya kindly.


I like this better than the original, but I would have preferred a lower tempo and more clearly enunciated lyrics.  An improvement from a completely overrated original song, but still room to further improve.  Thank you.


Metallica - Nothing Else Matters in 2 tone ska edition please :D


I found this beautiful abomination on Reddit and had subscribe. Love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣


guys who do i speak to about permission to play this on my radio show? love the track!


If not for the channel name, I'd wonder why you didn't keep with the Dystopian nature of the song.  Context got you a like, though!


i actually like this bcs i atually like blue grass lol


Well paint me blue and call me a marlin, this is one ding dang of a hootenanny


Ok I just nearly drowned on my coffee then


This is hilarious!!! It gave me the biggest grin ever!!! Btw, F*uck You Energy by Distractable brought me here cuz ov Bob. 😆😆😆


This actually works lol thats whats funny


all fun and games until the mosh pit starts line dancing


My uncles sister's mom's neices dog introduced me to this song


Listen to this at 1.25% faster speed hahaha


I can't even remember the original version


that pig sound...that is so deep..<br>it hit me...hard..

that pig sound...that is so deep..
it hit me...hard..


If engineer from team fortress 2 was emo, so he will love this.


This literally torture just listening to this, I tried typing this comment while listening to this and I almost died.


Next thing you know Fats Domino is going to be a pop singer


System of a Hoedown - Chop SUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEY


Showed this to the wife and got punched in the nuts for it. Worth it!


I think you fix horrible songs. Keep them coming.


Please tell me Neil Cicierega has seen every single one of your videos at least 8 times each.


Chop suey but it's made by engineer from team fortress 2


This lost their heavy-metal style, now it can be party meaninglezz song


Sometimes the puns just write themselves.


this is I think the angriest like I've ever given... and that's saying something with my salt


Awesome, i love it as much as i hate it!<br>I'd love to see you ruin Iron Maiden next if possible

Awesome, i love it as much as i hate it!
I'd love to see you ruin Iron Maiden next if possible


This is such a hoot I even showed my pa paw


I don't think you trust in my self-righteous yee haw.


Haha yes!  Saw it on Reddit before I saw it in my YouTube subscription list this time.


Someone show this to Theo Vin and Joe Rogan 😂😂😂


Love this one, but did you remove the Johnny Cash Disco one? It's gone from my playlist :(

Had to temporarily remove a few as I deal with a copyright strike, sorry!


So this is what it feels like to hate-sub to a channel.  Seriously though, nice work man :D


Good question. Why <b>did</b> you leave the geese up on the table?

Good question. Why *did* you leave the geese up on the table?


Watch the dead south chop suey for an actual banjo cover


Ok...lmao Thank God I'm from West Virginia and can appreciate this.....


you did it so better that daron posted it!


Aaaaaaand subscribed. Kee going! I love to hate it. And I hate how much I love it.


And a soft blues version of "no woman no cry"


Oh no you didn’t, I have a request, Bruce Springsteen born in the USA bluegrass edition please


I want to die now so i think that means you did a good job


There, I love it! Awful thing, keep that up!


I hate it and love it at the same time what the fuck


I swear I've seen that clip of the girls at 0:10 and 0:15 before but I have absolutely no idea from where


Shoutout to Henry the Chicken at 0:19 !!!


Was crocodile chop your inspiration for starting?


How about a song but as Neue Deutsche Welle


this one was already ruined before you got to it


now ruin Backstreet Boys - i want it that way please


Just now noticed Napoleon Dynamite in the top-left corner at 0:52

Good eye! I think I’ve only had 1 other person call that out :)


Pretty sure you can be arrested for this.


i fucking hate it but I am captivated by it


It feels pagan these lyrics on this Twangy beat


Imagine if you will, you upload the GARTH BROOKS edition of Chop Suey, and hey, thats OK, but callin it bluegrass is inaccurate, your approaching early 90s POP COUNTRY INFESTED WATERS, BEWARE!!!! The one thing that makes it bluegrass is ALL STRINGS, NO DRUMS.


I don't think you trust in my self driving tesla car.


18 Year Old Me: What the hell is this crap!?

(Goes to bedroom to bang my head against a wall repeatedly.)

38 Year Old Me: Yee haw! This is fun!

(Goes out on the dance floor to do a crazy jig.)


Try listening to The Dead South, they did this, lol


Where can I see more of the dame at 0:14?


Me too. This guy deserve much more more recognition


... this is the only version of this song that I like.


This is just a cover of the original by the Soggy Bottom Boys...


This is why android 17 and 18 destroy country music


System of a down but there all hillbillies


Well, you can go ahead and change your channel name.


was the metallica kidsedition video removed?

@There I Ruined It ah damn metallica sucks ass if it comes to copyrights, even its just a joke

For now, sorry. I’ve got a copyright strike I’m working through. Don’t want the channel to get deleted.


This is a prime example of ATBGE, aweful taste but great execution.

It's the wurst thing I've heard in a long time.
But it's expertedly made to be shit. :D


Nice, now take a bluegrass song and ruin it


Sigh, this version is great, but I still can't stand this song whatever version it's in! :(


Of corse this gets recommended this month… so gay!


Poor Armenians survived a genocide to live this moment


A terrible song made even more terrible. Good job


Epically awful.... one of the worst things I’ve ever seen


Hahahahahahahaha worse cover I ever heard😂😂😂😂😂😂


No slide whistle, but this exists https://youtu.be/NqBh8hFC5NQ


Epic! This immediately made me think of a hilarious but very well done thing by Hard 'n' Phirm called "Rodeohead" -- a medley of Radiohead songs, bluegrass style. https://youtu.be/FHHipFUCdxc


I recently discovered you and system of a hoedown made me laugh for 5 minutes 😭🤣 and the whole song 15


Beatwars Battle: System of a down or Eminem "Which was more ruined by Bluegrass" :) https://beatwars.com/battle/3466/ruined-by-bluegrass  Voting open now!


I watched it a few times but I just noticed “system of a hoedown” 😂


Brilliant. This video has a lot to unpack. Love it!  https://youtu.be/B2cph1Aq6gU?t=51
