I came to the place at one o'clock, Kato was opened and some guys were
already unpacking the Scars stuff. So, I walked out and came back at 5.
We were just six people waiting for about two hours, before the other ones
started to gather. So those two hours we had a chance to take a photos with
Daron (he was really hurrying up, so there was no time for some talk) and meet
Dominic, Danny and Franky. Man, they're so cool. I mean as people - everyone,
including the roadies (Sako, Hampig and I can't remember the name:).
They were just hanging around with us when they had some time before the
show. I talked mostly to Danny, and... you know I didn't want to bother them
with some lame SOB related questions.... but he's originally from Detroit (Red
Wings!), played ice hockey, and last two years he's already been practicing for
Scars (right after John asked him). So the waiting itself turned out to be a
very nice time.
They opened after 8:00 and Scars kicked the shit at approximately at 9:20.
Here's the set list...
I Like Suicide
Stoner Hate
World Long Gone
Enemy (and Drugs)
(Scars On Broadway) - I still don't have an idea what's that, but it was printed
on their set list again
Whore Street
Chemicals
Kill Each Other
Universe
Funny
Serious
Hungry Ghosts (that's an instrumental piece, not too long, Danny told me the
name after the show, and also that it should be part of the song which is going
to appear as a bonus track somewhere)
Cute Machines
They Say
OK... what can I write about the show.... It was intense, really intense. Franky
moved A LOT. Daron also did, but he's a little limited by his position as the
main singer. Everyone sweated like a pig. Serious is like an opposite to a
relatively calm Funny. And it sounds awesome. The band really fits together, so
I wouldn't change anything at all.
After the show, I catched one of John's drumsticks, bought a t-shirt
(that's the only merchandise and they have girls and men version), Sako gave me
Daron's and Franky's pick (man, Sako ROCKS!!) and then guys from the band came
out once again. Including John. Also Daron came, and he received a tiny handmade
version of Gibson SG from some girl. Just great.
I really can't wait the record dammit!
Taking photos during the show was strictly forbidden and that's why I couldn't
bring any...

damn dude i wish i were you. To hang out with scars and get pictures with Daron and John is just....EPIC. just epic. I must say im really jealous of you. But of course happy for you that you got to have such an awesome experience. I saw them at KFMA day in Tucson, AZ in the united states. Your description of the show pretty much described the show i saw as well. The band has REALLY good chemistry. I don't see scars breaking up anytime soon.
