 I arrived at the Rolling Stone at 19.44, people were already inside. As I got
in, I left my backpack at the wardrobe and checked the T-shirt stand, but I
decided I could buy one after the show (wrong decision ), and I went into the
venue, which was way less crowded than I expected - when I saw Serj in April,
the Alcatraz was packed up to the ceiling.
Anyway, at 20 the opening band, Belladonna from Rome, began to play. 3 girls
and 2 guys (guitar and drums), 3 very good songs imo, the rest was decent,
though the singer sang all the songs in the same way. |

Daron Malakian - Emerging Unscathed

 First
off, for those System fans agonizing over the looming question of a reunion,
Daron Malakian is quick to put it to rest. "System of a Down may not come in
another 15 years for all we know. We don't want to talk about it. We're
100-percent focused on this." That said, how is it that this, Scars on Broadway
that is, features the two members of System of a Down voted least likely to get
along?
"It's funny," says Malakian. "I bet the guys in System probably say, 'I can't
believe those two got together after all this.' And I kind of laugh about that
too. I named this band Scars on Broadway before John was in the band, and we
both have scars from that fight that we had that day." |

Serj/Scars at Rock en seine Festival Reviews

 I
could miss Kusturica. I could miss Rage against the machine, I could even miss
KISS. But when I saw that Serj Tankian and Scars on Broadway were
performing in the same festival, in my country, during the summer holiday, I
knew that it was something I couldn't miss.
I took a night train with my father, and got to Paris around seven in the
morning, first day of the festival. We spent the morning walking in Paris, and
then went to the festival.
We were a bit late, so we arrived just when Apocalyptica was leaving the stage,
then we saw Hot chip (great!), and after them, it was Serj's concert!!!!!!! |

[29-08-2008] 2 days a week festival, Wiesen - Austria

 First words; f* awesome!
I went there with a good friend of mine, their parents drove us. After 3-4h of
driving, asking random people for the direction Laughing and stopping by in Graz
to get the tickets, we finally got to Wiesen.
Around 8 o’clock, trading the tickets for hand bands, hiding the cameras in the
baggy pants and “decolte”s we finally got in. There we some shirt stands where I
bought a Serj shirt, which is unluckily a way too big so a hang it on the wall
at home later on.
We mixed with the crowd and suddenly find our self in a mosh-pit which helped us
to come pretty near the stage.
We just got in as they were preparing the stage for a band called “Gogol
Bordello”, some gypsy folk punk band. |

Sako Karaian - The Man Behind the Curtain

 As
John Dolmayan's drum tech and closest confident for the past ten years,
Sako Karaian has seen it all. His presence by John Dolmayan's side has
become so ubiquitous, the two like to tell the story of when they were walking
down the street together once and a fan rushed up to the tech, saying, "Hey,
you're John Dolmayan from System of a Down," while Dolmayan stood right next to
him, ignored.
"He's like my big brother," Karaian says of his boss. "He helps me with
everything. Great friend. Very easy to work with, yet, I like how much of a
perfectionist he is on things. It makes me step up on my game as well.
Ironically, after ten years as Dolmayan's tech, Karaian still can't play a
measure on the drums. He was thrown into the job when System got signed, right
after John Dolmayan joined and they were about to leave on their first tour. |

The Second Coming of John Dolmayan
|

 We’re
banking down the serpentine curves of Laurel Canyon Boulevard in John
Dolmayan’s Jaguar XK, plummeting towards the vast blacktop sea of L.A. He
answers another call on his cell, which has been ringing constantly. The
conversation is a mix of English and Armenian, and what I can make out isn’t
enough to gather where in this endless city he might be taking me. This is the
drama he wants. The journalist following blindly. At the mercy of the man in
control. Always in control.
From the stereo pumps unmixed demo tracks from the as-yet unreleased eponymous
debut of Scars on Broadway, the band Dolmayan recently started with System of a
Down guitarist Daron Malakian after System went on an indefinite hiatus
two years ago. It’s heavy rock, straight up, with just a twist of SOAD
weirdness. As good or better as anything he’s done. “This is the era of Scars on
Broadway,” he had told me earlier over an ocean-plundering banquet of sushi he’d
ordered for the both of us. He might be right. |
