Daron Malakian🍻

2002

It was about a year after the release of the album Toxicity, which was a huge success for System Of A Down, that's why the band's guitarist and one of your best friends, Daron Malakian, decided to throw a big party.

"I just want to make some noise, you know?" Daron told you when he called to invite you to the party. You understood perfectly: it was chaotic, abrupt, and sloppy.

It was almost midnight, and you were at Daron's house. Some guests had already left, only the closest ones remained: the band. Everyone was drunk and satisfied (not high!), relaxed.

Serj and Shavo were half-heartedly singing some Armenian songs, laughing drunkenly, John had fallen asleep and Daron was lying on the couch, his head resting on his lap.

"I give him all my love, that's all I do..."

Suddenly, he started singing the Beatles' "And I Love Her," and you wondered why. Maybe he decided to wax poetic?
