Did you hear the one about the man who remained silent only to be heard?

The whispers are only for myself, and I repeat them often enough to know them all by heart. The truth, I held it under my tongue and prayed...all the while losing my hold on the meaning. Now my words are bent and broken from the release. Questionable promises have crumbled in my fist, and what remains is dry and falls through my fingers. It crashes to the ground in small piles, which I blend back into the earth with my shoe. I grab a handful and press it against my lips; it is rough against my cheek. And I am reminded of where it all began.

p.s. what has changed is mistaken for truth without question.

Okay, time to work on a small harmless assumption.

Gerard has no voice, and Lyn-z is taking the night off to take care of him.

SMALL AND HARMLESS.

-Amyranth is hoping it's not worse than that.

I don't know Entropy. I have no idea why it's not on MSI's or MCR's official site, nor is it on MCR's official Myspace. But the last time someone logged in their Myspace was the 26th.

I would, MIB

Hi by the way everyone. No I don't think you should erase those post. I'm sure other Have already been looking into like you have. so it will come out somehow.

That's up to you. If you want,go right ahead.

Why is there always some sort of drama with this band? And why do I care?

I'm gonna erase the links. You know where to find it. If anyone asks, have them check the site I gave. It'll be easy to find it from there.

No need to erase Mustard. It's okay.

I'm curious about the Myspace thing being the 26th. Maybe a Reprise employee is slacking on the job.

I just hope that everything is okay with all of the band members. That's all I hope.

Kat Von D:ok wait so i need to get this straight...
they were supposed to air an MCR concert tonight but now its cancelled beacuase they have to film the DVD?Er... no. It was just an assumption.

And they never were supposed to air anything, because it says nothing about the stream on the site or in the promo video.

JocelynHolly said...

I want to know:

Where is SS?

Where is m?

Where is Mayo?

They've all disappeared.

I just find it very hard to believe that if Bob really broke his arm, that no one has bothered to announce that.

Entropy said...

Ah,SS would just make me so happy,he has a way with the words to give us comfort.

JocelynHolly said...

I just find it hard to believe that they haven't released any OFFICIAL statements about the canceled show!

Entropy said...

Exactly,if Bob broke his arm,why don't they just say that.
Unless it's not true of coarse.
They don't want to full on lie,just a little.

Anonymous said...

Myalyas:

I know. You'd think we would have heard something if it was detrimental to the band, such as Bob's broken arm, or Gerard's missing voice.

It isn't making sense to me.

JocelynHolly said...

BUT, If Gerard did lose his voice, how was he able to sing/perform at the second Bon Jovi show?

Anonymous said...

I know. That's why I'm confused by what was said at Pollstar. It really doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

anima said...

Anonanswers, we are not sure about tonight. The stream was not really expected anyway. Regardless of whatever happened tonight, show/no show, MCR cancelled prior, and MSI could have cancelled tomorrow's show.

I am still not sold on the whole Bob arm thing. It really makes no sense. (But then again, I had doubts right before we found out about the staph infection.)

Anonymous said...

Well, so far there hasn't been any angry posts about there NOT being a concert on LJ or INO. I can only imagine that we're overreacting over nothing.

MIB's revelations notwithstanding.

-Amyranth

Anonymous said...

I don't know Paperheart. Maybe it was dwindling before the concert, but with it being such a publicly displayed event, they'd probably have no choice but to play. Concert-goers and reviews did state that Gerard was having a hard time that night with his voice. But, I honestly don't know. I don't think anyone does.

We just needs some answers.

JocelynHolly said...

I bet we are overreacting.
If we are, I feel bad for blowing it all out of proportion.

Still, I have soo many questions running through my head right now.

anima said...

This is what drives me crazy. What ever happened to damage control? It seems like all of the fans have to do that. The label and/or management should fucking say something. Yes, I'm back on fuckfest.

JocelynHolly said...

Yeah. That's probably what happened MIB.

Anonymous said...

I agree with you though, my revelations withstanding. I think maybe we should just hold out on assumptions until we get some word or some pictures or video, or something.

Kap's blog title as Blinse Rather and Repeat

That's kind of awesome, actually. ^_^ Oh hey guys, if my name is giving your a problem, please just call me Jules, it is my real name. ^_^

Incidentally, i suspect that SS did pop in here once or twice already anonymously. I don't think s/he was one of the influxes of "inside sources" that came today, but before that.

I kinda want another little story thing. That was cute and clever and I TIP MY HAT TO YOU, SS, MY GOOD SIR. (Or Madame. Whichever.)

ergoproxy said...

Ok I came back and now can someone say if this is right;

MSI have apparently cancelled show tomorrow.

MCR may have cancelled show tonight

Bob may have broken arm ( but Maine college thing said he was injured the 1st BJ night and he played the 2nd)

May be Gerards voice

EMA"S are Nov 1

Oh loved the ghost story, was ingatia X someone else before?

Gerard could be in Hungary

- if they are just cancelling shows on a whim it is pretty unprofessional

Anonymous said...

I fucking agree with Anima.

This is pretty fucked up, but we're getting pretty fucking worried over fuck all.

We all fucking need to fucking cool it. I imagine it will be alright.

Haha,I've been back on fuckfest on this end of the computer since,shit,I came on here.
My fingers just manage to not spell out'fuck'.

But yup,I'm sick of not getting answers and just having to guess at everything.

Anonymous said...

I learned today, that according to a standard Promoter-Artist contract, one without all the bells and whistles, that a show should be cancelled no later than 30 days before the event is to be held.

That's again, why I'm confused Ergo.

anima said...

Honestly, I blame Reprise for most of this crap. The one thing that I can say about MCR that is bad is that they signed with them. They should have stayed Indie. No question. MCR should wrap up their contract and take the band back.

Anonymous said...

Anima:

Reprise is probably not the one to blame for anything. It's probably, if anyone is at fault for anything, the big wigs at Warner. And had they stayed on Eyeball, Bullets may have been the last album we all heard. Unless Geoff wanted to pitch in to help produce another one. It probably wouldn't have worked had they stayed on Eyeball.

Anonymous said...

OK, Jules it is. I just can't ever remember how to spell Kapauna or Kapunua or Kapanau...

I need to head out so bye all.
By the time I come back,you'll all probably have gone to bed, so goodnight.
Hope you guys come across more revelations and some anwsers.

I'm beginning to wonder on it in a new light.

Anonymous said...

Without all the bells and whistles yes, but keeping in mind that sickness cannot be planned for, and if Gerard flew overseas with a sore throat, and woke up today with strep, that is going to greatly affect any possible show. You can't hold someone to a contract when they are physically inable to fulfill their end of it.

So, my word is sickness. I think he's had a cold or the flu, and it's just metastasized so that he cannot perform.

And as cool as MCR kareoke would be, I would pay for a ticket to watch anyone but Gerard sing MCR songs.


-Amyranth

anima said...

Mustard, you are right. Warner is the powerhouse, but Reprise is their bitch and unfortunately so is MCR. Eyeball, I have mad love for; but again you are right with regard to them moving onto the next album. But I do wish it would have turned out differently.

I think MCR is strong enough to regain control. Except I do not know the ins/outs of their contract. I only hope they saved their ass somewhere along the way.

RW and paperheartsxx, I originally thought that the quote from Anon meant that MSI wasn't going to play. But, I think it was just my overactive imagination and wishful thinking.

But, not long after the anon comment @ 6:11 pm came another anon with:
"WE are only a few that come here and read.
No one important, just a seed in the grass waiting to grow."
October 30, 2007 6:36 PM
And then when Paper asked if they knew something we didn't:
"Anonymous said...
no, not at all. I just meant the whole sharing the stage with MSI. It's pretty tragic in my opinion.
With a capital T!

You can't hold someone to a contract when they are physically inable to fulfill their end of it.

Yes, you can. Unless it is otherwise stated in the contract that if sickness were to occur, they could easily back out of the scheduled date.

This isn't your Mom and Pop business. They have you every fucking way you turn. Either way, if their contract states that they are to cancel that particular date 45 days in advance, for example, and they cancel 22 days before the date, they have (forget the legal terminology) "gone against" what's laid out in the contract, sickness or no sickness.

Cancelling dates cost shit loads of money for everyone involved. Had they cancelled the Bon Jovi date...they'd probably had been without a recording contract and management deal with Brian, Brian would have probably gotten fired as well. You can't just decide on a whim to cancel, and if their is sickness or a death, the record label doesn't take sympathy on you. You as the artist work for them, not the other way around.

No, Ergoproxy, we don't. We don't know anything except that Pollstar has shown on their logs that a "change or addition has been made within the past 24 hours" to the Rockova Jensen Festival date tonight. That's all we know.

And that website is public knowledge. Anyone can access it. I didn't hack into anything to find it.

Sidenote: MCR/Reprise should pay for the costs the University in Maine incurred regardless of the cancellation. Because it is the right thing to do.

Original Punk J said...

Hey ladies!

This seems to be a huge muck of confusion.

Logically, we won't hear anything about tonight's concert until AT LEAST tomorrow. Slovakia is in Eastern Europe, the news will travel a lot more slowly from there.

Why is everyone getting so upset? There's no proof that MCR cancelled the show tonight. Let's not make trouble ahead of time.

Remember, it's Frank's Birthday Eve, at least heree in the States. Let's relax a little and appreciate the Frankness.

RW, as of the last I've heard, he is not yet married.

If anybody wants to go over there, I've posted a silly little birthday thing for Franky on our blog. Just for fun.

Peace!

As there were four bands playing, and it was a festival, maybe one of the bands withdrew & was replaced, or maybe a fifth band was added. Or perhaps a change in the line-up schedule. Who knows? Could be anyting at this point. I hope this gets cleared up tomorrow.

That's what I was checking RW. Neither of the other two bands, Metropolis and Desmod, are given anything on Pollstar. They...just aren't there. I couldn't even find any sites for them. I just found that this Desmod band has been around since 1996. *shrugs*


Let me just say that my posting was not to try and prove a cancellation. I was only trying to provide some more information. I hope to God nothing is wrong that has made them have to cancel again. I don't want that. I do hope that is like you said RW, that one of the bands had dropped out or they added another. I really, truly hope that's the case.

I guess we'll just have to wait a few more days to see if we get any pictures or video.

Okay, you guys are probably going to laugh about this.

So, I kind of gave up on dating and have been really happy with that. Then I started talking to this guy from a website, like, for geeks and we were talking about movies. I saw his picture and I thought he was really good-looking and I told him so. We started emailing pretty frequently. He's like wildly literate and well-spoken (well-written, actually,) and funny and charming and all of that crap that we girls tend to like. And I kinda sorta asked him on a date. Or he asked me, or we mutually decided that we were having enough fun talking about stuff that we should do it in person.

Then I saw a few more pictures of him. The guy ends up being really, really, really, really ridiculously good-looking. I mean like, uhh, kinda Jared Leto level of good-looking. In that sort of, "this dude could date anyone" kind of way. As in, my eyes pretty much popped out of my skull kinda thing.

He's actually seen a few pictures of me--more than I have seen of him--and he still wants to meet up with me.

This can only mean that he's going to kill me. He's some kind of freak who goes around the internet picking up girls and then cutting them into bits to stick into his freezer. (I told my friend about this and we damn-near wrote a song about it: "Ugly Girl Parts In My Freezer.")

OR! the other option, since I've never seen him smile, is that he has absolutely no teeth.

Or he's a crack dealer.

But I still kind of want to go on a date with him. It would just suck if he killed me!

Err, the only other thing I can think of is that my pictures aren't very clear or don't look like me at all, and that when he meets me he's going to be like, "Uhh, yeah, totally not what I expected." Which I guess is a lot better than him killing me, I suppose.

Go some place very public. That is the safest thing to do besides not go. Anyway I saw some of the photos of you not the ones you sent to him but the one you let us see. You are pretty.

Carrie, I only wish I had studied rats (amazing). I found myself in an advanced Masters/PhD program and it was all about stats. I definitely made up for my lack of math/sciences in undergrad. Holy statistics. I maybe one of a few that loves the stats. (btw, I never finished. I got my Masters in business.... FUCK! Total sellout, but it is what I had to do.)

Kapunua, I hope you are composing your story. We are eagerly awaiting. :)

Jules, only meet in a very public place and have re-inforcements with you.

Kapunua if you want to meet him just do it ina VERY public place in the daytime.
Don't give hi your home address or anything.
A friennd of mine internet dated,even flew to the US and never got killed.
None worked for her but just be careful

Ok, yeah, it's really Carrie, but still. Either you take *really* good pictures, or you just have a warped view of what you look like. Ok, I will give you, you may not be classical "Barbie, Oh Ken, let's go to the beach and make out in my pink sun roofed Camaro" pretty, but you are, and I really mean this, a beautiful woman. As in I am jealous. I'm a fat old housewife now, and I had my day, lemme tell you, but you are the kind of "striking" beauty that doesn't fade with age. And that is it, your ass sunshine infusion for the night. Do with it what you will. (But I would totally meet hot guy in a public place)

Anonymous said...

Is this uncertainty you're displaying because you don't feel that your outter beauty is equivalent to his?

Oh, please. I saw your pictures. There's no way that that's the case. I'm certain you two aren't going to meet up and him be like, "Oh. Wow. You weren't what I was expecting." If he does, kick him in the gonads.

You have no worries there Kapunua. You're personality and smarts would overshadow your looks any day of the week, even if you were the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I choose to believe that looks are not all that matters these days.

Secondly, I know you're an adult, but please be careful. You are right to be concerned. You never know who you're meeting over the internet. That guy could be anyone he wants to be. Hell, he may have even sent you Jared Leto's photographs. Just keep your wits about you, have a backup plan if things get iffy, and you'll be fine. You're a smart woman. And he should be able to see that upon first meeting.

Good night Ep and I shell follow you in about 13 minutes once house is over.

Anonymous said...

Well to be honest, I've met quite a few guys off the internet before (always in public!) and that's not entirely my main concern. I think you can meet creeps who will kill you in a bar, at a concert, at a dance, at a grocery store. My main concern really is that he's gotta have some other kind of agenda here.

Sunshine/Carrie, wow, you are kind of making me glow here. ^_^ I kinda don't know what to say aside from "thank you" again, so, thank you. :D I can tend to photograph passably sometimes, but you'd better believe I trash just about 90% of photos that are ever taken of me and only keep the flattering ones. :) This guy, though? All angles: Pretty. It's crazy.

Anonymous said...

Also Carrie, I'd be willing to bet that you're leading a life that you should be totally proud of.

anima said...

I am so late on my comments. K - I understand being worried.

Go out with him and a few friends; old school logic. I do have to say, I think you under-estimate your beauty. But always be careful. Take a chance, have fun, but make sure you get to know this guy in safe company. You'll be okay. Carry a knife. I always do. :P (Oh, that's right you don't need a knife, you have skills, right?)

Thank you, I seriously hope that is the case with this guy!

My friend also pointed out to me that I am, in my own way, judging him by his looks and that is also not fair. Why yes, I can actually double-standard with the best of them. ^_^

I guess I'm at a level of "ok" with my life, but I'm a fat functional alcoholic (and yes, my husband and kids both know this), I have deep seated issues with my parents that I refuse to talk to them about yet cry about on a regular basis, and evidently the only people I can open up to (beyond my husband, thank goodness he's there) are a group of people on a fictitious celebrity's blog (ok, the celebrity is not fictitious but if this is his blog I will find a hat to eat). Yes, the Mayo Clinic is a good name for this blog. And oh, guess that's my biggest secret from a few nights ago.

Very proud of you Carrie, for having the strength to say that. I think we all have our own issues. I think that's possibly why we've stayed around here. It helps when there isn't much else there.

OH, SNAP! WELL PLAYED! ^_^ Now I need to listen to that.

I guess I'm at a level of "ok" with my life, but I'm a fat functional alcoholic (and yes, my husband and kids both know this), I have deep seated issues with my parents that I refuse to talk to them about yet cry about on a regular basis,

First of all, okay, let's kill this word "fat," it's an ugly word. I've never really heard the term "functional alcoholic" before, but now that you mention it, I think I know quite a few functional alcoholics. Probably around 80% of the people I hang out with. Are you ready to fight that yet?

I'm also just really sorry about your issues with your folks. That's just a really tough one to work out.

only people I can open up to (beyond my husband, thank goodness he's there) are a group of people on a fictitious celebrity's blog (ok, the celebrity is not fictitious but if this is his blog I will find a hat to eat). Yes, the Mayo Clinic is a good name for this blog.

Well, you know, you always can just spill it out here. Even if no one knows exactly what to tell you, or which direction to point, we'll always give you the space to just put it all out there if you have to, and hope it helps. No matter whose blog this really is, I'm sure by now it's serving a much bigger purpose than the author originally intended. I think we're all a huge revelation, to each other and probably to him.

So either way, thanks for that, Mayo.

Kapunua:
You have my blessing. Don't go into thinking that he's out to get you and that you aren't even worth his time or effort. He must have found something he liked about you, be it the conversation, the movies, or the pictures, to want to see you in person and get to know you better. Just be safe.

My double standardized suspicion
Is remedied, oh, my blue heaven,
Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.
(Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.)

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time.
All the cards begin to stack up,
Twisting heartache into fine
Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,
But it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe.


They have a lyric for everything. O_O

So very true Kapunua. That was all so very true. I can't possibly be any more indebted to Mayo than I am right now. It's so comforting to know there are people out there ready and willing to listen to you, no matter what it is you have to say.



I'm sending good thoughts to you Carrie. Just know we're here when and if you want to discuss whatever's weighing on your mind.

Carrie said...

Thanks to all of you for the acceptance. And now, I must go to bed, so I can get up and take my youngest to parochial school. (yes, I do put the "fun" in functional alcoholic.) And no, it is not Catholic school, just uber strict Lutheran school. My other daughter is in mainstream school, and just came out as a lesbian. Can you say my head is spinning at the inconsistencies in my life? But, at the end of the day, I think everyone is like that.

anima said...

P.S. Mayo, who are you and what do you want? Life is bizarre and all of us can relate. I hope you find some sort of sanction in our concern. I just hope you are not filling us full of bullshit because, only speaking for myself, I get enough of it everyday... maybe you do too... so let us break free from it. Come to terms with sincerity. I (we) would appreciate some honesty.

Ahhh, I went to one of those strict, Lutheran schools. Jumper uniform, cross-tie, blazer and all.

And kudos to your brave daughter! And most especially to you for being the Mom that you are to her.

And yeah, yeah, I probably don't say it enough so I'll say it again: No matter who you are, Mayo, thank you for this blog. It's pretty righteous of you to allow us all in like this.

I also agree with you, Anima. But honestly, Mayo, I really hope that this blog works something out for you. And that ultimately you can take your place in The Great Circle Of... Stuff.

Goodnight, all. And thank you all for just about making my night!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU ALL! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FRANK!

Anonymous said...

Back, dind't disappear, sorry for the delay. Real life. The anonymous from last night. I want to shed some light, please don't take it the wrong way or to upset you, it's not meant to.

Some of you are asking why Gerard's friends aren't helping him if he's so bad off with the alcohol and drugs. Part of the reason could be because they know in their hearts they can't judge him because most of them are alcoholics too. Yes, Frank is an alcoholic. Ray is an alcoholic. Like someone said earlier, Functioning Alcoholics. You don't have to fall down and stumble and act like an ass to be an alcoholic. They all drink ALOT and regularly. You guys all seem like Taking Back Sunday fans, but guess what, your beloved Adam Lazzara is an alcoholic. Watch him on stage some time.

They are all "Tour Alcoholics" mostly because it's just one of the few things to do on tour. It's not exciting like most people think. It's so boring. You don't get to see that many new places. You spend most of your time traveling and working. It's not easy. Beer and liquor is available to everyone and boredom abounds. You just go and get wasted. Everyone else is.

One of th ebiggest problems with Gerard and one of the differences is that while many of his friends are alcoholics he is DESTRUCTIVE (to other people) and SELF destructive. It is an explosive combination. Most of the other guys will eventually either taper off the drink or just be functioning alcoholics all their lives. But Gerard will always struggle.

If he lives. And his new "companion" isn't helping him, but enabling him. She can drink like a champ.

are they really all alcoholics ? out of the "tour" do they continues the behaviour or return to normal, but anyway that really isn't the issue. And if they are regularly wiping themselves out and are alcoholics then they all need some help !!(allow me to volunteer our farm as MCR dry out/ rehab center) So they all drink but..
Regardless,
The self destructive behaviour is a different issue, which they could face up to him with. If they
allow him to continue surely they can see how it will end ! It is irresponsible of anyone who sees it going that way to do nothing. Surely there are some people he knows who aren't alcoholics!
Someone DO something!

Mayo,

Happy Halloween to you! How are things for you this fine fall October day? I still have the same mother fucker of a headache I had last night....2 Excedrin Migraines and no sign of relief. Oh well, oh well.

Take care today. I'm not sure why I feel the need to say that but I do...so there.

Today is the perfect day to find a nice dark place inside your mind, wrap your arms around your body, rock back and forth, and get lost in yourself. Turn it up, turn everything else down, and tune in to what you are needing. Reality will come calling soon enough....

Love to You always,
S

p.s. Planning the great escape....

thanks for the pics guys.

poor bob though. you would've thought they could put some info up on their official site wouldn't you. i mean they must know that we have the ability to make mountains out of molehills with ease!!

have a good day, everyone.

That makes me really sad. It goes a lot deeper with this guy than just dressing alike. When he was with Eliza, he turned into her, too. He spoke like her ad acted like her, dressed like her and gestured like her.

Now it's easy to see him trying to "be" this new gal. He's trying to act all hardcore and edgy; like he wants to join MSI or something.

Seriously, is there anybody in there?

What are everyone's plans this evening for Halloween.

I did a pre adult Halloween in New Orleans over the past weekend, ie Vodoo Fest and Dungeon costume party. Had great fun and now fully recovered.

Tonight it is for the kids passing out candy and making a huge pot of Gumbo - yum yum!!!!!
Oh and Halloween cupcakes, too.

Oh and Gerard get a life other than the ones you mimic. You are an artist, right - stop blatenly copying others or are you just another hack!?!

elena said...

Happy Halloween - My best friend told me her costume was going to be a surprise. First let me say that she isn't a My Chem fan but listens to them for me. Anyway I picked her up this morning as she's dressed as Gerard complete with hole in jeans, Lyn-Z tee and sharpie messages. On her arm is written "Cry For Attention" and on her neck "Love Me" but its backwards cause "he" wrote in in a mirror. IT is so fucking funny.

Oh, please! How very unprofessional.

From a review of last nights show on buzznet:

Lindsey was watching him and while he was on stage..he was waving her and she looked very happy:o) You'd have to see that....hehe....We also sang Happy Birthday to Frankie what was really great!!!!

am not sure but I couldn't see Bobo:( I think it wasn't him who played:( so he is still sicky! We've made a lots of awesome pics but security made us to delete all the MCR pics:( but still we got awesome shots and vids of MSI :)

Before Gerard started to sing "Cancer" he went to Lindsey and kissed her.......It was awesome. These guys are really so in love that it makes your heart jump:-)

Also Gee and Lindsey are having a day off in Vienna today! :o) Lindsey is very scared btw...:( since she married Gerard many kids are haunting her like the crew told me:

Yes, but please save it for your own time, don't infringe on the fans' time. They didn't pay to watch you serenade your wife or constantly wave at her or kiss her, they paid for you to perform for them. You don't see Billie Joe making out with Adie on stage, do you? Know why? It's not professional.
