Daron Malakian 🎸✨

Summer 2002

You were walking through the busy streets of Los Angeles. You watched others pass by. Until you started hearing shouts, loud music, and chants.

Protesting. You didn't care, until someone started throwing rocks. And one, in fact, almost hit you in the head. It just missed you. You also found yourself with a large camera crew following you, mostly three people.

You didn't know what to do, so you kept walking. But it seemed that wherever you went, the protest followed. Eventually, everyone joined the streets, leaving a huge crowd next to you on the block. That same guy threw a rock again, aiming for your face, until someone pulled you into the crowd, blocking your way.

You looked at the person holding your arm. A guy with long brown hair and big brown eyes looked at you. One of the people filming! The two of you continued walking, protesting as he asked,

Are you okay? Damn idiot throwing rocks at people...

You realize it's one of the members of System of a Down: Daron Malakian.
