Let's mothball this shit baby...with one hour to spare.

Is it true that we value in others what we want to see in ourselves, the missing piece...pieces, or peace? Who surrounds you? Why are they near? I hold dear to my heart those whose passion can find no limit, those with righteous hearts, and calloused fingers. Because I aspire to be more than I have brought to the table so far.

What is missing? I can not watch myself from a distance...it is far too painful. The awkwardness, the shuffle, gives rise to self doubt and sour bile. I rely on second hand tales and the perceptions of others to deliver me from evil. Introspection has never been my finest skill...so I challenge myself to look.

p.s. here we go, one last time...it's in the blood.

Aww, don't do that, baby! We're in the middle of our best EVER season of kickball. The venue is a lucky one for us, and you want to revoke our lease? Do you WANT me to kick your ass???


LMFAO Sister Midnite you crack me up!

I agree with you SisterMidnite. We are analyzing this shit to pieces. No wonder Mayo wanted us to keep our traps shut.

Well, at least I thought he would want that. That's kinda how he made it sound. Right anon51?

Aw, Sweetie, haven't you figured out yet that you can't rely on others to complete you? The missing piece, pieces, and peace all have to be found within yourself. And introspection? It's overrated.

And what was it Adam Lazzarus asked? "What is the oposite of valor?"


Heh, I didn't even catch that. ^_^ Good point.

Lazzara, by the way. But I do like "Lazzarus." Has a "rising back from the dead" kind of ring to it. ^_^

resurrected wreck said...

Most of there songs are about dealing with death or the lose of someone close to you. The speeches Gerard use to give were different. He was the one that said the band saves lives, he was the one who said don't be homophobic or sexist. The message of the music and the man are different. You may not care that is fine for you but the only reason I went out and bought their CD is because I want to support band that had a good message. If it wasn't for that message I would have downloaded their songs off limewire andsaves a lot of money.

And I would never have become interested in MCR in the first place. I came to love their music, but that wasn't what drew me in initially. It was just how refreshing and inclusive their message was. When I met Gerard in August I told him how MCR were the first band in over 10 years that I've actually gone to see. The reason for that is that I just don't care about rock star bravado, ridiculous antics, regurgitated riffs and mysogynistic lyrics. At this time in my life, I honestly didn't expect to ever come across a band that was original enough, sincere enough, and genuinely talented enough to pique my interest, never mind to go to three of their shows in one year, one of them out of country.

I still support this band and I believe all five of them are good men. But the loss of their original message has me mourning. It's like something precious has died.

To Mayo,

And so it has begun.

It is true that looking inside oneself can be a daunting task, but often we find the good qualities that we never knew we had.

Allow others to help you search. Accept their mercy and compassion, and above all, love. Accept it unconditionally, as it is given.

There is nothing more to write. Take what advice you have been given and make the most of it. Prayers, hope and love go with you.

You are strong, whether you realize it or not. You have done some terrible things, but you are a good person. It is important to understand that in the days and weeks ahead.

Stay on the ride.

Love(unconditionally),
Lisa

Anonymous said...

Do I have to repeat myself? MCR and MSI are 2 separate entities. One does not necessarily affect the other, except in backstage tour life.

Unless you take into consideration every word that Gerard has said against lyrics that he deemed "negative" or "irresponsible."

Once again: This was the guy who spoke out against music lyrics that were racist or sexist. This was the guy who talked about responsibility to young people. It's the same guy who is now showing off this band with their lyrics about, I dunno, say, child porn and how women are "bitches" and should be "on their knees" to his very young audience.

It wouldn't make a difference if he hadn't made such a big deal about being against that exact thing.

Probably the reason Gerard doesn't object to MSI on principle is that after meeting them, he can confirm that Panty Shot is not a ballad of Jimmy Urine's pedophilia.

Anonymous said...

TBC, what would you most like for Mayo to "open up" about, anyway? There are lots of things you view as concerning. Which do you view as most important?

His apparent problems with alcohol, possible depression, and whatever the hell is going on with the band. Those are my main concerns. If you do not open up to someone about your personal crisis, who are you going to turn to when you need someone to talk to with these kinds of problems?

But doesn't he have a right to "open up" about anything, somewhere other than Blogger? Does he really want to tell complete strangers about his problems?

Yes, but that was long after he sobered up.

Sometimes it's easier to admit you have a problem to a compete stranger than it is to a loved one. No judgement and you can just walk away and never see them again.

Anonymous said...

I'd like to add one final thing about the MCR/MSI tour. Say, for instance, that MCR has gained a new fan. This fan reads everything they can get their hands on about My Chemical Romance because their music really speaks to them. They relate to it. They begin to see after reading interviews, watching Youtube interview videos, reading articles, etc. that this band really stands for something. They speak out against homophobia, sexism, and violence. They like what they see and hear, so they're gonna catch them in Europe so they can see for themselves what this band is really about. Afterall, the fan read that they put on a really awesome live show. They've never heard of Mindless Self Indulgence, but if this MCR band is taking them out on tour with them, they must be pretty good. MCR must think highly of them. Then they get to the concert, see the opening act throw out repulsive lyrics, and then the fan stands there amidst a cloud of confusion. MCR comes on, preaches everything the fan read about, and thanks MSI for coming on tour with them. The fan leaves dissappointed because they don't understand how My Chemical Romance could support something that didn't represent their own message. Probably a fan lost.

Farting In The Shadows said...

Once again, I doubt the more questionable lyrics are deeply-held beliefs. I admire MCR's message, but I like MSI too. Am I a fan lost? No. >_>

If Mayo is in fact Gerard, I believe what Anon and Jenicula have said. It's probably easier to admit faults to strangers when they really don't know who you are. But, I don't know that this is really Gerard. But either way, my point still stands.

Shadows:
Don't feel that some of us are knocking your taste for MSI. That's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to figure out in my head why MCR would want to expose their fan following, who believe in their message, to a band who doesn't hold the same beliefs. Or at least don't hold their same beliefs as shown by the lyrics. I don't know any music by MSI, and after reading the lyrics to their songs, I don't want to. To each his own.

Maybe Mayo is jealous because his blog brought a whole bunch of people together, and he wants to be apart of our family!

If you don't like MSI, leave your seats during their set. Grab a hot dog, or listen to your iPod. No one is forcing you to listen to them, and it's not as if they're headlining.

I am not sure but I think this time he may be afraid that if he told his loved ones his problems, he may be judged, especially because his stubborness was preventing him to see the truth with his eyes. There are people out there who prefers to shut themselves off from the truth than admit that they are wrong. It happens alot I'm afraid.

Anonymous said...

Perhaps he already has, and we just missed it.

Anonymous said...

I agree Shadows. That could be done. But look behind all of that. Why should the fan have to leave because they don't want to hear the music because they know what their lyrics entail. They paid for that ticket. They shouldn't have to leave and go buy a $6.00 hot dog.

Where was MCR's PR guy while all of these tour decisions were made? That's what I want to know.

Anonymous said...

Probably the reason Gerard doesn't object to MSI on principle is that after meeting them, he can confirm that Panty Shot is not a ballad of Jimmy Urine's pedophilia.

Right, so because Gerard thinks it's okay, then it obviously is? And all of those other bands and lyrics he referenced, just because he never met them and made sure that they were "okay" too, he still gets to judge them? Because he did.

Sorry, I just don't think highly enough of Gerard--or anyone--to agree just because he said so.

It's as simple as this. He spoke out for years against lyrics that he thought were demeaning. He was adamant that bands had a responsibility not to do the "bitches and ho's" lyrics. He actually used the word "responsibility" so I'm just holding him up to the standard that he set. And now he's taking on tour a band that epitomizes the "bitches and ho's" mentality and talks about five year old girls spreading their legs.

I'm sorry, but there's no way to defend that. He's a hypocrite.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Leaving your seat or listening to your Ipod may not be enough for some people. I personal would be upset with the fact that my money would be going to a band like that. I choice very carefully what bands i support and don't support. So for someone like me who doesn't like MSI lyrics I would still be upset that my money was going to them.

Hello Mayo,

I have to say that this is the most straightforward of all your posts.

You sound as if you're making plans for self-improvement; that is excellent. Although I think that the qualities you see so abundantly in others are truly within yourself. They are simply buried under layers of doubt and fear.

Listen to the "others" because they might know a thing or two. Remember, they've been through this before, too--with you. I pray that this time WILL be the last time you have to put yourself through rehab. God willing, that's what you mean.

I hope this isn't the last contact I'll have with you, and with Shitsubou. I would like to think that at some not-so-distant point in the future, I'll get to find out what happened with you guys. Lisa and I still have that email address for you to use, if you want. Same ID questions as before.

Love to both of you.

Honestly, fans. Quit being so self-righteous. Your savior doesn't give a sinking ship.



Let us all listen to "Welcome To The Black Parade" again.



"When you're gone, we want you all to know
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it."

"Your misery and hate will kill us all."

"And though you're broken and deafeated,
Your weary widow marches..."

"Take a look at me cause I could not care at all."

"Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero."



I believe the last few lines say it all. Don't get it yet? Allow me to simplify...



The whining is getting old. When you all decide to grow up or move on to another to save you from your "demons and all the non-believers," they (or perhaps it is just him with his opinion) will carry on. Your malcontent is a tedious thing to bear day after day.



I think the last few lines say it best:
It's just a song, he's just a man. Take him off his pedestal.




Not saying the fans are the only ones at fault.




Of course, this only applies if this is the man whom everyone thinks it is.

Magic Pie,

Come to think about it, wasn't he exactly the same the first time around. I remember that Brian said on LOTMS, they would talk about his problem and he would agree and then deny things because he needed to be drunk for himself. So these posts would therefore mirror his inner turmoil.

It's very hard to let go of what you depend on, even if it is destructive.

I wonder whether the fact it was being recorded and then gerard said "TBP is dead" she may have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 7.
He often made comments about TBP or MCR between sets.
I doubt they'd advertise it and then reneg.
There would be a whole lot of contracts etc involved. but yep as long as it's a good concert ( with Circa Survive - no one else)
I still think it's unlikely unless they clearly said "and we will no longer be touring the black parade show at all, anywhere in the world"
I will be disappointed, as they have promised in at least 2 interviews I recall ( no links sorry)

It may be dead, but it's "in the blood", as well. Not so sure if we've seen the last of TBP just yet.

If Mayo does comment at all, it
s probably as one of the anon's. Bear with my little experiment here...

Experiment successful; neither my username or timezone was correct in the 3:48 AM post.

No matter what time zone you're in, Blogger automatically adjusts it to Pacific Daylight Time. I think this was being discussed earlier, but I just read it now. ^_^

As much as we'd like Mayo to post, I don't really don't think he will. Not under his "Mayo" user account, anyway. Even if he did, it'd be exactly like Kapunua said:

You're Mayo? Yeah, riiiight!

We may be an intelligent bunch, but we're also a cynical bunch. ^_~
If Chicken Little told us that the sky was falling, I bet only a few people would run for cover. The rest of us would wait until chunks of sky clobbered us. (BAM - right in the head!)

Anybody in Europe who's unfortunate enough to have MSI as the supporting act -- you have our sympathies. *laugh* If I had to sit through them, the promoter would have to pay *me*. And even then, I couldn't do it. I'm sorry if some people actually like them, but IMHO they blow rabid badgers.

One last thought before I head off to bed: Mayo still seems to think that this whole blog is actually about him. If he pulls it, I will hunt him down and stuff a squid down the back of his pants!!!

G'Nite, lovelies! ^_^

DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN said...

"Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.

All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true...

The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun... I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.

On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!"

Etc.

One is enough, please.

the comment he had left here. Still ppl were arguing. The guy can't win, he doesn't need the hassle.

Congratulations, you probably scared him off. I bet he won't comment to us again.

i honestly think if mcr split it really wouldn't bother gerard as much as people might think. he has his comic to fall back on and that is truly his first love not this band.

I think I actually agree. I'm sure he likes the band (or did at some point), but what he really loves is visual art. Of course, his comic was only published because MCR made him famous and that's an excellent point, but still... Meh, I don't know. I'm just speculating (as always).

Okay people calm down a little
Grab a bucket of ice cream and go watch The Simpson's for crying out loud.

Analyzing over every single little thing is seriously getting annoying.

So MSI may not be the best band in the world,
but no need to slag them off. Just don't listen to them
No need for slagging Lyn-Z either. None of you know her so to whoever calls her a slut, thats just really harsh and cruel. I bet you wouldn't like some random person calling you a slut.

I mean, you guys watched the Monterrey show videos on youtube and instead of commenting on how awesome it is that Mikey is finally back or how amazing Ray was kicking ass with his guitar riffs, all you people could think of was Gerard saying
"We need more violence"

And please stop analyzing Gerards love life, Its HIS love life, not yours.
Who cares if its true love or not, his life.

So many people have lost love for this band, why? because of Gerard ""Changing"" (notice the quotations)

What happened to Ray,Mikey, Bob, and Frank-What happened to the music.

Oh and btw- i wasn't calling you all shit heads. Its called opinion and i like sharing it, whether you like it or not.

Only time will tell

First I just have to say good morning. And anon, if this is "getting annoying," don't read it. You don't have to be here.

Secondly, I was uber excited that Mikey was back. So don't go judgemental on everyone. Those are some of the first things that were said. We are so happy Mikey is back. It feels like a whole band now.

Back to whatever you all were discussing.

Oh an also, this is an open blog, anyone can comment on ti so dont go around slagging people that have a different opinion that yours.

Pretty hypocritical considering you guys hate Buzznet and INO because when you try to post your opinion it gets shot down.

Be respectful and respect others

But i doubt you would ever get shot down their anymore.
Seems like everyone has jumped on your side of the bandwagon now.

It is true that sometimes I start relationships with people because I think I hold the missing piece...pieces or peace. Like my relationship with you......I hate for you to feel alone and I want to surround you with protection. I stay near you because I like the feeling of being needed. I will show you that people can give of themselves unselfishly. I will love you unconditionally and expect nothing in return. I will hand you my heart and let you use it until you can trust your own again. I hope this will show you that you are deserving of love......real love. I know that you are just as passionate and hard working as I am. Right now, you are selling yourself short, but you are capable of so much more...things that you have only dreamed about. We can turn them into reality.

However, I can only show you what's missing. I can NOT complete you. We're all insecure. That doesn't make you awkward, that makes you HUMAN. It's time for you to take that painful look at yourself. To be delivered from evil, you must come face to face with the devil in the mirror. It might be the longest and hardest battle you have ever fought, but you can do this. I will stand beside you every step of the way and help you find the strength. It's in there....I promise. You might be shocked at what you find within yourself so don't be afraid to look. Kill those demons....one by one.

Enabling is what I'm so good at!

P.S. We all have our roles to play..........so, can I have my heart back when you're done?

Don't judge me because I came over from Buzznet. Hear me out. Part one. Bert and Gerard.

As someone who was around these people, I can say without a doubt in my mind that Gerard is in fact gay. He probably by now convinced himself that he is one of those "bisexual drunks" but Gerard has been drinking again lately and he has not returned to his "bisexual ways" because they don't fit in with his new image. Gerard is all about the image. Bert is a true bisexual with nothing to prove. Think about the things they pulled together on AND off the stage and why Bert was in on it. Bert's band, the Used, does not have any "anti homophobe" agenda, LOL. Bert was in it with Gerard because he WANTED to be and in fact, so did Gerard at the time. Don't think for a second that Reprise wasn't behind their split. Reprise pushed the whole "sober in 18 days" thing (even though Gerard was sober for 18 days does NOT mean he stayed like that once the 18 days were up.) And Bert was seen as being bad for Gerard's new "sober image" so off he went. Poor Bert. I would be pissed too. Bert is really pure in that way, when he's pissed you know he's pissed, when he loves you you know he loves you, when he's drunk you know he's drunk etc etc. Think that only one or two songs on Lies For The Liars is about Gerard? Think again. "Find a WAY"? "Hospital"? Listen to the words, listen to what they're really saying. Listen to the things said in the background. Look at "Pretty Handsome Awkward". "Hey ARE YOU OKAY? You look pretty low." Listen to "With Me Tonight". "When you are low, I am NOT OKAY." Most of the songs are about Gerard. Back to Gerard being gay, aside from the fact that what he had with Bert was something REAL, (anyone who knew them knew that as much as Gerard denied it, they weren't "just joking"), look at his high profile NOT REAL last two relationships.

Part two, Gerard and the women he uses.

I say "not real" because look at how Gerard treats women as opposed to how he treats the men in his life. He was sober and trying really hard when he was with Eliza. Eliza was sober. She didn't have a lot of class and she was frumpy and maybe she was even greedy and an attention whore, but Gerard used her. They were sober together. She talked to him, she could hold a conversation. Her head was not totally empty. She was his "sober partner." But eventually Gerard started slipping. He also wanted to change his image. He wants to leave behind the "teenybopper" crowd and be more dangerous and less "childish". And all of a sudden Eliza was no use to him anymore. So he ditches her like he ditched Bert. Bad for his image.

So now Gerard is back to drinking and he wants his new image to be more hardcore and "dangerous". Along comes Lyn Z who is perfect for him at this stage. She doesn't challenge the drinking. She is in this crazyass group with a violent sexual image. She can help Gerard leave his "old image" behind. Has anyone ever met the girl and talked to her for more than a couple of minutes? I mean about things aside from bands and the weather and other simple subjects. She's not mean but she's definitely not smart. She doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, she's just a non-thinking party chick, she would never actually fight with Gerard if she thought he was making the wrong choice. She would just make the choice with him.They are perfect for each other because he wants a new image and for his bad choices to not be challenged, and she wants her band to get bigger. Perfect, but where does that fit in with Gerard being gay?

It's simple. Gerard uses women. But he falls in love with men. His relationships with men are the real thing, if he ever had any feelings at all "in that cave he calls a chest" lol, it was for Bert. And probably for the girl most of you know as "Kat" but that was a different story, of course he loved her in a way, he was a simpler person back then.

Part three, Frank?

Sorry girls, Frerard isn't going to happen in real life. That's not to say that they weren't really close or that back in the simpler days they didn't really love each other. The way young, innocent people do love each other, actually fall in love with each other. I'm not saying they actually did it, but there was love. You could see it in the way they would do caring things for each other (Frank more than Gerard though. Gerard was too much of a mess to really give too much). The way Frank would indulge Gerard by D&Ding with him on the bus to pass the time, no matter how stupid Gerard got about it, even if it made Frank feel stupid sometimes. The way Gerard would amuse Frank anytime he got sick. The way they used to cover for each other and have each other's backs. But Gerard got lost in his ever changing image and if he doesn't know who he is, then how can Frank even help him anymore? No one can, because Gerard is known for pushing people away who challenge him too much when he REALLY needs to be challenged.

Let's keep on taking a look at Frank, why do you think he is in the band? I'm not saying that he's not a valuable part of it because he HAS BECOME one over the years. But in the beginning, don't think for a second that Ray couldn't handle all the guitar work himself. He could. Who do you think it was that talked them into getting a second guitarist? Who do you think it was that wanted Frank? The person who actually knows the very LEAST about what it takes to build guitar parts for songs. Gerard. Frank can definitely play the guitar and in fact he is an underrated guitar player. Most guitarists can tell you that, he doesn't get half the recognition he should for his technical talent. But Gerard didn't know that, at least not in the beginning, the guy hardly knew anything about music. He was just bossy and really pushy. Gerard likes to think he knows how to make incredible music and he might make some suggestions, but in the end it's Ray making the decisions and sometimes letting Gerard think that they were actually Gerard's decisions, LOL. The point is that even though Frank is really great at what he does, Ray was fine in the beginning as the only guitarist, he totally could have handled it. He could have written AND played all of the important parts. But Gerard wanted Frank. Just like he wanted his kid brother in the band and basically pushed him to play bass for them, even though Mikey's definitely not the best bass player there is. Gerard knew tons of musicians when they were starting the band, he could have picked any bass player that would have blown Mikey's skills totally away. But he wanted his kid brother to go with him. Gerard gets what he wants.

You guys are right to think that Frank is a really great guy though, he honestly honestly is. And when he's out there meeting up with you all and smiling and hugging you all, don't go thinking that it's because he wants to keep his image or sell more records. He does it because he's still that music fan himself and he knows how much it means when your favorite band actually chills and talks to you like a human being. He does that because he honestly cares about how people feel. He does it when he's sick and tired and he could be off making out with his girl or having a cigarette or sleeping. Because he really cares about you guys instead of just his image. Frank actually doesn't have an image.

Sorry for rambling, just some food for thought.

Okay, so since the while "here we go for the last time" thing and then Gerard saying that about TBP onstage, I'm at least willing to admit that this might be someone who perhaps maybe knows Gerard and knew that last night's show was going to be the last Black Parade show.

Anon @10:22, I've thought those same things about Lies For The Liars. I thought it was pretty brutal how Gerard got the harshest, most hateful song and also the sweetest most sincere love song on the entire CD.

Bert is such a freak, but I like the dude.

Hi, sdock10. Nice to read you round these parts again. ^_^ Hello also to Sister Midnite, Ergoproxy, Smoke&Venom, Resurrected Wreck, Chaos and the rest of you old-timers who go way back with me.

Truly, we did get flooded with anons in the last three or so entries and that's kind of a shame. I think more meaningful things got said when there were less posters and we were actually saying less. I miss the kickball games. ^_^

But then I miss MCR too, so...

I always thought these lyrics referred to Gerard:

I'm sort of disappointed that people wouldn't go to an MCR show because of the supporting acts. I had to live through Julien-K and Placebo just to see My Chem at PR, and it's not as if your tix were a waste of money, since the headliner is MCR, and not MSI.

It's a matter of principle. It's not the matter of not liking a band. It's a matter of not supporting certain viewpoints, ones that come across as hateful.

I'm curious what you think about the way Gerard used to rail against "disrespectful" and "irresponsible" lyrics. Did it bother you when he said those things about other bands? Do you think he never actually meant it and that it was just a part of his image? Do you think that he meant it and now he has changed his mind about what he values?

Because for myself, when I'm talking about the whole MSI/MCR thing, I'm talking about Gerard's viewpoint, the one he pushed to hard at his audience. Not my own.

QFT, testify it, sister! ^___^ As messed up as Bert is, yes, he is believable. I don't see why he would have any reason to make things up. You never know of course, I could have it all backwards, but my gut feeling tells me that Bert is being honest, about himself and about what he sees.

I wonder if Love Man will come back and post again now that Mikey has returned.

On the other hand, I don't believe that Mikey is back to stay. I think he might just be doing this as a favor so they don't look totally stupid, and then he'll be on his way. Could be wrong, though.

Farting In The Shadows said...

So you take MSI's lyrics seriously? 'cause I don't. If they objectify women in real life, then what are LynZ and Kitty doing in MSI? It's sort of a joke, a dark/kinky sense of humor, and a "fuck the world" attitude. Not "we hate women and gay people!"

And MCR's songs aren't always about peace and love, but they're not about degrading sex or panty shots either.

I think you've been missing the point. It's not about not liking th opening band. In fact, it's got little to do with MSI at all. It's about supporting a band based on their message. It's a credit to the strength of this message that so many people here took it to heart in such a personal way. And now it seems that message has been discarded without any warning or explanation. As someone who's spend a good deal of time, emotion, and money supporting this band based on the original message, I am confused and disappointed and, yes, a bit angry.

MCR are the ones who set their own standard, we're just holding them to it.

Forgive me if someone has already gone over this but I just couldn’t read 300 comments this morning.



So Mayo, you find it painful to look at yourself? That’s good. That means you might actually still have a heart. It’s when the pain goes away and you realize you don’t care that shit gets really scary. Let’s see what you can do when you don’t have a conscience.



Introspection not one of your best skillz, eh? Mine either.



As far as Bert goes:

I be lovin’ me some Bert. I think he is about as twisted and fucked up as anyone could be but he doesn’t try to hide it. That’s what makes him so real. He is what he is. Love him or hate him. And I do love him.



As far as the whole MSI lyrics vs MCR’s message and all that:



Well, I personally think MSI sucks. But that’s just me. I think their lyrics are stupid and vulgar. But that’s just me. I always kind of thought Gerard’s whole message about non-violence and reaching out was sort of a contradiction to his OWN lyrics. But that’s just me. I, along with many others here, am old enough to know and understand the difference between the two and to not take stuff so literally. Some younger kids may not. I don’t agree with MCR taking MSI out on tour for that reason but then again, I would probably still go because it’s MCR. I agree thought that it’s not even about MSI. It’s about everything that Mr. Way himself has created and seems to be so hell bent on destroying. WAY to go, Gerard.

Good afternoon/evening everyone. How was your day? I have many things I need to discuss concerning all of this. First of all, can some of you anonymous posts please stop posting cryptic messages as if you know something we do not? Grow some balls already. It is getting tired and old and stale. Second, I agree at some point that we must stop analyzing every little thing Mayonaise says. Allow him to figure and sort through his personal demons on his own. He does not need many of us to push him over the edge and be aware for some of you that mental illness and alcoholism runs in his family. It is much more complicated because you cannot reason with someone who is suffering mentally rather than *emotionally*. You cannot fight mental illness one on one.
Third, Megadeth, Slayer, and many of those heavy bands may be writing and rocking out to lyrics that are not family friendly, but at least they are not writing about child porn and degrading women by calling them "bitches." I listen to many bands such as them but you do not see me promote or condone violence on my own blogs do you? Oh, do not worry, I do not listen to MSI so please, spare me the "no one is forcing you to listen to MSI" speech. If you think writing about those absurd subjects is a "joke", I like to know what the hell is wrong with you?

It's about supporting a band based on their message.

In all likelihood, a major reason why they took MSI on tour is so that Gerard could have more than a month to be with the Mrs. They don't support MSI based on their message. They support them because they're friends, and that's what friends do.

Farting in the shadows, you didn't answer any of my questions, you just diverted. That doesn't actually work with me.

I think he meant it sincerely, he just knows that they don't mean to be offensive.

So then, A) how could he have known that the OTHER bands "didn't mean it to be offensive?" How come he gets to judge them? And B) Uhh, I Can See Between Her Legs
5 Year Old Pantyshot, My Life Has Meaning When She Spreads Her Legs."
"They don't mean to be offensive?" My ass.

Remember, he listened to Megadeth, Slayer, and The Misfits. That's not exactly a message of peace and love in those songs, no?

I still don't remember any of those bands calling women bitches or talking cheerily about child porn or using any variation of the N word. You know. All those things that Gerard spoke out against but now actively promotes.

lolita haze, was that meant for me?

If so, thanks!

Yep, but I'm not here to argue with people, right?
I mean....I'm thinking Misfits Last Caress.....

You like what you like. You dislike what you dislike. You severely dislike whatever it is that you severely dislike. It's ultimately your choice to either change that or leave it be.

I'm just going to say that MSI has been around a decade, they've gathered a lot of fans of every color, shape and gender. HOWEVER, before I get cannibalized here, I agree that their music doesn't correlate with My Chem's message, and does go against it.

Sorry I'm so late asking a question but there is just so much to read here. So where did the whole "Bob was drunk" thing come from?

Anonymous said...

People were saying he was drunk at the concerts and then they said that he did not attend the meet and greet because of a possible hangover I suppose

resurrected wreck said...

In all likelihood, a major reason why they took MSI on tour is so that Gerard could have more than a month to be with the Mrs.

Then, by all means, bring her along. But that doesn't mean he has to bring her whole band along as well & have them up on stage. It's not just about what Gerard wants.

Read my question carefully.

Read my answer carefully. It's called "sarcasm".

Smoke said...

In response to accusations about Bob being drunk, I can't blame BB. If I had to put up with all this shit, I'd want to get drunk too. But on the other hand, how can someone look at a picture of a drummer in mid strike and say that he looks drunk????? There are plenty of times when I'm shitfaced, but I still look oh so fabulous. No one would know the difference.

...just saying

I like to say, if Bob did get drunk, I'd paid money to see that. I bet he acts all silly and dorky when he's loaded :D

Teehee....I wouldn't know anything about that. I've never been drunk, and I don't intend to drink.

I saw a video on youtube once, with the title "Bob Drunk trying to get on the bus" or something. I don't remember the title exactly, but I was wondering how whoever took it knew he was drunk, and apparently it's because he doesn't know how to get on the bus. It was awhile ago. I don't remember but I'll look for it.

Could someone tell me if we're still discussing the same old shit? It looks as though we are. And I've run out of "2 cents".

Supposedly, Gerard announced that Bob was drunk during that particular gig....I don't know. I wouldn't know!

resurrected wreck said...

That's a very good question. I have wondered what sort of woman would associate themselves with a band like this.

********
Women who know how to have a laugh and don't take themselves too seriously. Women with a wicked sense of humour and who don't get offended too easily.


I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

Magic Pie said...

Let's see anon2007...people are still bitching and moaning about MSI and there's still lots of speculation about Gerard's non-ring-wearingness...so yes, all the same shit :P

Magic Pie said...

RW, I definitely think that's best.

Yeah. Like I said earlier, I find myself repeating the same stuff :/

resurrected wreck said...

No worries, then :)

Oh my god! The MSI/MCR thing was so 12 hours ago. I thought we put that thing to bed.

As for the ring, I saw the "photoshopped picture" on BC's blog. Is that what we're discussing?

By the way, thanks for filling me in MagicPie.

Right, so when you give yoru opinion, it's just your opinion, bu twhen people say that MSI's message is the direct opposite of what Gerard used to preach about, it's "bitching and moaning." Uh huh. Way to keep it civil.

Oh my god! The MSI/MCR thing was so 12 hours ago. I thought we put that thing to bed.

Why would we? It's still an issue, one that no one has officially addressed. I'm sure at least someone in or close to the band is aware of this crazy level of hypocrisy, and ignoring it is pretty much a big "eff you" to the people who were interested in Gerard's "message."

That makes me so very happy. You know why? You lot are so different than any of the other fans. You make people proud to be fans.

Kapunua, have you any idea how much I want to hug you right now?

Anonymous said...

I understand what you're saying Kapunua. I should have clarified that it's still the same argument. One believes it's okay for MSI to open for MCR, another (such as myself) doesnt' believe it's okay to open for MCR. It feels as if we're going around in circles on the subject and we're still in the same place. No one is backing down from their opinion. That's what I meant. Plus, I can't make anyone from Reprise/Warner or from MSI's label come see this stuff. We can only hope that our opinions get back to them.

Kapunua? Did I complete misread your response to what I said?

It does seem that we're beating our heads against brick walls sometimes, doesn't it?
