"Kill Rock 'N Roll" is the third track and third single from System of a Down's 2005 album Hypnotize. This song had been one of the few songs that the band had performed before the release of the album. The song was inspired by a rabbit that guitarist Daron Malakian ran over. He buried the rabbit and when he arrived at work, he saw a rabbit that looked exactly like him. He named it "Rock & Roll." At the Ozzfest 2006 performance in Chula Vista, before playing Kill Rock 'N Roll, Daron Malakian stated: "There is no such thing as 'rock and roll'. There is only music. 'Rock and roll' is only a label, and we hate labels. We are here to kill rock and roll!" This is possibly hinting at the essential meaning of the song.
