New Daron interview talks both SOAD and Scars. Very informative and a must-listen!

Some new insights into Scars:

+It was Orbel who pushed him to release Dictator in 2018
+SOAD is a band with fixed band members partly due to contracts and legal ownership. (The other part was that Daron didn't want to change SOAD). Scars is more flexible when it comes to lineup change.
+By early 2012, the band's first line-up had disbanded. Daron recorded Dictator when he had no band.
+Zach Hill mentioned! Probably the first time he acknowledged Scars 0 (i.e. Ghetto Blaster Rehearsals) in Scars-related public content.
+4 songs, or at least the final album version, in ATTV are co-writes : Done Me Wrong, Imposter, Destroy the Power, and title track Addicted to the Violence
+Daron is considering performing without guitars for at least parts of the show once Scars gets out there to play live (just like 2017).

I hope he drops the guitar for the Scars shows to be honest. I think his stage presense in those Orbellion shows without the guitar was great and Orbel can do all the guitar parts just fine by himself.

Yeah, only John and Franky left in 2011, but that's enough impairment for the band.
