Interview: System Of A Down's Daron Malakian

Malakian formed Scars On Broadway in 2006 with System drummer John Dolmayan, and their self-titled debut is one of the 2008's freshest surprises. Gone are the herky-jerk time changes and overt politics of System Of A Down; the new album is a hook-filled, straight-forward, song-oriented effort. Before hitting the road with Scars, Malakian sat down with MusicRadar to discuss the new album, the status of System Of A Down, and what makes his musical mind tick.
