System of a Down's Toxicity video clocks one billion YouTube views

Four years ago, System of a Down's smash hit "Chop Suey!" surpassed one billion views on YouTube. Now, the second single from the band's iconic Toxicity album, the title track, has joined the club. Watch the video for "Toxicity" below.

The video features the Armenian-American alt-metal quartet rip it up on a white L.A. soundstage. Directed by the band's bassist, Shavo Odadjian, and Marcos Siega, the video sees vocalist Serj Tankian delivering classic hard-hitting lines as "How do you own disorder? Disorder!"

"Toxicity" hit number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart back in May 2002, and nabbed the seventh position on the Alternative Airplay chart.

System of a Down – comprised of Odadjian, Tankian, guitarist Daron Malakian, and drummer John Dolmayan – will soon perform a series of North and South American stadium shows, entitled Wake Up! The tour will commence on April 24 in Bogota, Colombia, and hit U.S. shores on August 27 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, featuring support from Korn.
