One Lyric Almost Broke Up System Of A Down
System of a Down disagreed over vocalist Serj Tankian's use of a single lyric in a song and argued about it as a point of contention that could have broken up the band.
The lyric in question occurs during the song Needles where Serj says "pull the tapeworm out of your ass." The original lyrics Serj wanted to sing was "pull the tapeworm out of my ass" but the rest of the band thought the reference "was not cool." The band were not upset about the words tapeworm out of the ass but were instead offended by the self-referential aspects and approved of the line when Serj changed the lyrics from "my ass" to "your ass."
Producer Rick Rubin would tell an interviewer:
“I felt like the band could have broken up over the lyric... It was so extreme, but it speaks to the passion in the band.” - Rubin, The Explosive Story Behind System Of A Down's Toxicity Album, Dave Everley, Metal Hammer (Aug 19, 2021)
