Scars On Broadway
Scars On Broadway
The Daron Malakian led rock and metal project formed by the System of A Down guitarist after that band decided to take an extended break following their Mezmerize and Hypnotize releases, Scars On Broadway came to life in late 2005/early 2006. While some demos appeared (a 2003 collection labeled "Ghetto Blaster Rehearsals") that were credited to Scars, Malakian disavowed the link to the current project and the one on the tape. That disbanded project, which featured Shavo Odadjian and Casey Chaos was in no way -- according to Malakian -- connected to what he was working on in the studio as of 2007. With System drummer John Dolmayan as a collaborator, Scars On Broadway began recording tracks, and in March of 2008 posted their first track online, the alt metal selection, "They Say." With live dates in the offing for Malakian and Dolmayan, line up additions were needed. Coming on board were Franky Perez (guitar and vocals), Dominic Cifarelli (bass), and Danny Shamoun (keyboards and percussion). The band played its first gig in April of 2008, at the Whisky a Go-Go, and later that month played the Coachella Festival. The group's debut album, Scars on Broadway was then announced for a May of 2008 release. ~ Chris True, All Music GuideMore

On Monday, Jack didn't come to school. At lunch, all the popular kids at school were having their usual coversation.
"Where's Jack?" asked Tom.
"I dunno, probably crying at home because he didn't get to go out with Ashley last night!" said Marcus. Everybody laughed. Marcus had a way of making people laugh. Only the three of them were there. It felt really weird. Jack had never been away from school in his entire life according to Tom.
"Well I never did really break up with him except by text on Saturday!" Ashley added. Both the guys laughed again. It seemed really weird to have such a popular group with only three people in it that day. But that's because it was no ordinary day.

The next day, Jack didn't show up to school either.
Or the next day...
Or on Thursday...
Or that Friday for that matter.

On Saturday, Tom kept trying to ring Jack to see if he could come over, but his phone was switched off. He walked up to his house and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Then he remembered that Jack's parents were commercial airline pilots and they had to work every day so they wouldn't be there. He knocked again, but there was no answer. So Tom figured that Jack must be out, however there was no answer for the rest of the day.

He did the same on Sunday, but he wasn't there all day and he knew that Jack was rarely allowed out at night. Especially when there was school the next day. So Tom sadly rode his bike home at 6 which was his last attempt.

The next day at assembly, the principal had told them that this week the year 12s had to stay back for a special assembly. It was their last assembly and they had Block Exams to do. Why did they have to stay back? The whole year was shocked when they saw Jack's mum walk in.
"Kids," she sighed. "I have made a special announcement because one of our school members has died 1 week before graduation. Yes, I know. You probably all know Jack Halagey. Yesterday when I came back from a stressful flight to Bangkok and back, I searched for Jack, called the police and found his dead body in his closet. They carbon dated it to be about a week old. There was a note next to it, and I suggest that if you do not like these kind of themes that you leave now."

Some people in the assembly left, but only for religious reasons or the fact that they wanted more study time which they should have been doing for the past 2 months.

"Okay," said Jack's mum. "The note said...

My dearest Ashley,
I watched you at the movie theatre and at Marcus's house and I will continue to watch you. I never thought you would do something like this to me.I really loved you, Ashley. I died for you just like Jesus died for the Christians.

Always with you,
Jack."

Then came the usual tears after that story. The principal walked up to the microphone.
"Thank you Margret Halagey for sharing that sad story with the year 12s. That concludes this week's assembly, year 12 is now dismissed."

Please post this message in 5 places or more, otherwise Jack will haunt you forever. He now watches the mafia as well as Ashley and knows where you all live. He wants you to know about Marcus. He wants you to show you care.
Thanks.

[in loving memory of']

Still don't believe me? Well here's what happened to my friend's girlfriend. I was at her house one day and we were posting up stupid answers to a blog. Then when she saw this message she blatantly ignored it. The next day during assembly, she was making a speech and she collapsed in front of the whole school. Yes--I know Jack. He was a prefect at my school. I was in Year 8 when I knew him.

Later on when police investigated, they found poisoning in her sandwich that she ate that day.

After school that day, my other friend was checking through his e-mail and found this same message. He deleted it thinking it was a stupid forward. He was on a flight to Indonesia the next day. When he got to Jakarta International Airport, they found a form of poisoning inside his bag. When Australian justice found out about this, it was also the same one-of-a-kind poison that was found in that girl's sandwich. Since he was in Indonesia and she also came from Indonesia, he was put to death.

Two weeks later, Brisbane International and Sydney International airport security went through the records and found that the poison was in fact snuck into the luggage that went on the flight to Jakarta

You two are brilliant - Scars' music is reminiscent of some of System's classics, and has a strong energy. Truly refreshing and honest, rather than recycled or generic like the majority of newer bands you hear today. I adore the honesty of your lyrics; it's something with a message that everyone needs to understand. I love both of you, and I can't wait to hear more of Scars On Broadway.
You are absolutely beautiful people.
