Three members of System Of A Down — Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals),
Shavo Odadjian (bass) and John Dolmayan (drums) — plus Scars On
Broadway’s Franky Perez performed three songs (including SOAD’s
"Suite-Pee" and Scars On Broadway’s "They Say") at Shavo’s Halloween
party at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California on Saturday
(October 31). Check out photos by ErikVoake.com at this location.
Fan-filmed video footage of the "Suite-Pee" performance can be

In October 2008, Malakian announced via Scars On Broadway’s web site
that the band’s headlining tour — which included an appearance
on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" — was being cancelled, with no plans of
rescheduling. Malakian cited his lack of enthusiasm and "his heart
not being into touring" as the chief reasons behind the decision to
call off the trek. "The music of SCARS will live on, but now is a time
when aspects of my life need to be tended to," he said in a statement.
Scars On Broadway sold just under 24,000 copies of its self-titled
debut album in the United States during its first week of release
to debut at position No. 17 on The Billboard 200 chart. This number
represented roughly 36 percent of the 66,000 opening tally registered
by "Elect the Dead", the debut solo effort from System Of A Down lead
singer Serj Tankian, which came out in the fall of 2007 through the
Warner Music Group.
"Scars On Broadway" has shifted just 78,000 copies in the United
States since its July 29, 2008 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
