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.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 828 Newer› Newest»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.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. -- Mahatma Gandhi
That's how I took it, anon2007.
But you know Gerard..."It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose"
Yeah, let's step back and take this post for what it is.
Well, I gotta go to bed so I can get up tomorrow and go to WORK...
I'll leave you with this, Mayo:
But, hey...
And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way
"I always kinda had you pegged as a coward."
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. ^_^
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
And IF this post is a "fuck you" to all of us...
RIGHT BACK AT YOU, SWEETNESS. *kiss kiss*
I could give a fuck who you really are.
To para-phrase:
"If it walks like an asshole, and it talks like an asshole..."
Prove me wrong.
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.
^Well said RW. You've said what I've been trying to say, but I was just unable to form the thoughts well enough to type them to the keyboard.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Lazzarus! Come Forth!
I love MCR's music, I really do, and that's why it pisses me off when I see Gerard fuck it up. So, there's the beef...
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.
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?
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?
He did before. In LOTMS he talks about. So why wouldn't he now.
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.
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.
Sometimes an outsiders perspective is clearer. Those who are closest to us do not always see us clearly. The lens through which they view us is colored by experience. Where an outsider/un-involved party has an unojective POV. Sort of like a therapist.
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.
anon2007,
I think you nailed it! What is the saying about laying with a dog with fleas? I am tired and can't recall.
-VM

But we already know who Gee is, what kind of person he is, etc. Rumors color our lenses as much as experience.
If you lay down with dogs, you'll wake up with fleas.

Since when do all dogs have fleas? XD
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!
=]
Ha ha that may be true paperhearts ;p
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.
Then he should jump in, the water is still warm.
Then he should jump in, the water is still warm.
I wish Mayo would join in with the discussion.
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?
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.
Perhaps he already has, and we just missed it.
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.
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.
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.
Shadows:
I'd just like to say that I respect you for sticking your ground. I'm glad this can evolve into a civilized discussion. We will always run into differing views, and I feel that we learn the most from those.
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.

Pactum Serva.

Love to both of you.

Stop and take a look around and realize what's going on.
It's not all about you.
Kapunua,
Couldn't agree more. And going back to previous comments about Lynz...I too think that her onstage persona (costume/pigtails) tends to play toward the "little girl" fantasy. Has she aligned herself with that (jimmy's lyrics)mentality?
"Who is she trying to attract with that?" She dresses like my 4 year old daughter.
-VM
It's not all about you.
I swear I think I may have read that sentence before somewhere. I can't put my finger as to where...
I guess I shouldn't assume that jimmy wrote the lyrics.
-VM
^SS?
BC:
Do you think that anon was SS?
I am not sure if that was SS. It could be someone else...
Stop and take a look around and realize what's going on.
It's not all about you.
Is this person saying it's not all about us, or not all about Mayo?
In my opinion, that sentence appears to be directed at Mayonaise.
I don't know. Let's find out.
Anon that posted:
"Stop and take a look around and realize what's going on.
It's not all about you."
Could you elaborate on who you are directing this to? Mayo or the posters here?
And sorry about the confusion on my part BC. I could have sworn that SS said that on one of their deleted blogs. But, it is a common phrase. Could have been anyone.
Okay,thanks BC and anon2007=]
That's okay Anon2007. Your welcome paperhearts. I know I seen that sentence somewhere. It could have been posted on SS' blog, but I doubt that its him. I think I need to resurrect my CSI team :)
Haha, do it BC! You are a great CSI-er... lol I did not know how to word that!:P
Someone here posted earlier that they saved all the SS blogs. But, unfortunately, they were an Anon. No help there unless they come back.
By the way, not that it really matters, but do you think that Anon's post is significant? You're making it seem like it.
^^ha ha thanks ;p
Nah, anon2007, that post is not important but it brought me a sense of deja vu for some reason. Oh well.
Mayo, how many times must you be invited?
We would love to hear from you IN HERE.
Pay us some due respect, and say your goodbyes properly.
We have reserved a seat for you. The clock is ticking.
ANYWAYS, where'd everyone go?
=]
Yes Mayo. Come speak with us. We're tired of running around in circles. But refrain from doing it until I get back from dreamland.
I'll leave Mayo with this:
You are a good person. I can tell by what you write. Others care about you, never think differently about that. You are an inspiration and my thoughts are with you and yours. May you figure yourself out and dig deep enough to find what you really want. It's in there. You just gotta keep searching.
Goodnight all.
^^ Well said anon2007. You took all the words out of my mouth=]
"Rabbbits in hats and white gloves misssing."
Two letters, B and S.
What do the B and S mean anonymous?
Someone here posted earlier that they saved all the SS blogs. But, unfortunately, they were an Anon. No help there unless they come back
I've got them too. I'll go check for that phrase...
B and S could mean Mayo is all full of bullshit.
So I'm writing this blog. I know you will never read it, I wouldn't want you to. Not everything is about you. This blog is for ME, a perverse catharsis, I need this right now to preserve the small amount of sanity I have left.
Yep, ss says it. Though,as mentioned above, it's a fairly common phrase.
Ahhh I see. Haha thanks anon.=]
Any info from the MC concert? Should be over by now... though the concert goers might only upload their picturess in the morning...
Nothing so far Black Jacket.. I'm really anxious to hear about it and see pictures and videos.

Journal from the show...
the whole thing was videotaped for an upcoming DVD, because it was the LAST EVER Black Parade-themed concert! At the end of the BP segment of the concert, Gerard said: "And now, The Black Parade is dead!".
I think I can see the meaning behind the "1 last time" in the P.S message now.
Thanks BJ for the link!
And me too.
This is just more proof of Mayo's blog.. I'm believing more and more that this is really him.
the whole thing was videotaped for an upcoming DVD, because it was the LAST EVER Black Parade-themed concert! At the end of the BP segment of the concert, Gerard said: "And now, The Black Parade is dead!".
Oh. That's disappointing :( I was going to wear my Black Parade costume to their London show in November.
I'm still skeptical but I am a seeing is believing kind of person. Whoever is the author of the blog is doing a good job of keeping me entertained, so it doesn't really bother me who the author is.
Oh. That's disappointing :( I was going to wear my Black Parade costume to their London show in November.
If I were you I'd still wear it. TBP will still be a part of MCR even if they don't dress up for it anymore.
^Good advice :) Well, I wore it at PR, and that wasn't Black Parade-related, so I guess I can wear it to London as well. I had planned on retiring it at the end of the year, might as well get one last hurrah out of it.
That sounds like a good idea resurrected wreck. The very first time I had seen mcr in concert was during the time when the Black Parade album was going to be released. Honestly, I am ready to see it go for the very last time. I am looking forward to seeing something new because I never seen these guys in concert during Three Cheers' album release. I like to finally see something different. I am ready to move on from the Black Parade.
"the whole thing was videotaped for an upcoming DVD, because it was the LAST EVER Black Parade-themed concert! At the end of the BP segment of the concert, Gerard said: "And now, The Black Parade is dead!".
Well, that may explain it.
And i don't know what to make of Brian and Craig being there.
I am ready to move on from the Black Parade.
Same with me, BC. Though I'll always look back on it with great fondness. It was the album that introduced me to MCR, after all.
"you guys were amazing tonight!!! hope
you come back for many more shows!!
and that next time you play early
sunsets or drowning lessons!...great
show!!!! ^-^
it got kinda messy hope youre ok!!
have a nice trip back home!! (:"
Just read that on myspace. It kinda got messy? i wonder what thats about.
The black parade sure brought alot of great memories. Some memories I haven't even told my friend as a matter of fact he he ;p
But other than that, it has been a great ride through the good and the bad.
Turns out the broken, beaten and the damned know how to break, beat and damn. Isn't it kind of funny how the "saviors" get persecuted by the ones in need of saving?
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.
I'm seeing this as a positive post.
Then again, doesn't it seem like Mayo goes back and forth a lot? One post makes us think that he's coming to a realization, then the next has him telling us he's in control...
Maybe Brian and Craig are on his case, and are there to keep him on the straight and narrow.
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.
Anonymous, do not assume that everyone believes that Gerard is the "savior" or the "hero." I only consider him to be a regular man.
Anon @ 12.11,
We can convey our opinions, and ultimately Mayo can take it or leave it.
After all he invited US here by posting. No one is putting him on the pedestal, quite the opposite, we see a seriously confused and lost individual.
TBP is dead huh ??
well that's strange seeing as their tour to Australia and NZ has been advertised as the full arena Black Parade show.
(Remember we haven't seen it at all yet)

I thought the same thing Ergoproxy...
I was looking forward to seeing this at their Sydney concert...
But if it's not the full TBP, I don't mind too much, just as long as it's a good concert.
Ah, but Anonymous @ 12:11, in saying that he does not care, he truly does in some way.
It makes sense. why create all of these blogs if he doesn't show that we care what we think?
Exactly. Why would he keep posting if he didn't care about our opinions?
TBP is dead huh ??

See, I thought that as well for the UK shows, as they haven't done the Black Parade thing there yet.
Maybe it was a rash decision
Dear Mayo-
1. You've officially won me over
2. I love you.
Fin.
-s00
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)
UK hasn't had it either?
But yep as long as it's a good concert ( with Circa Survive - no one else)
Haha yeah, I think Australia and NZ got a better deal... unlike Europe's supporting act.
UK hasn't had it either?
I don't believe so. I think the UK dates they played earlier in the year were either for music festivals (such as Reading) or that Wembley show opening for Muse.
Haha yeah, I think Australia and NZ got a better deal... unlike Europe's supporting act.
Yeah. As much as I'm looking forward to the London show, the fact that it's MSI opening for them still sticks in the back of my throat.
RW, if you feel that strongly about MSI, how about you close your eyes during the performance? lol
^If I do, do you think it will make them go away? ;)
Have you ever seen the Blues Brothers? There's a part where they impersonate a country band to play a show, and the band plays behind chicken wire because everyone is throwing bottles at them.
Gerard,if you keep on keeping MSI as your support act, better bring some high quality mesh.
RW bring ear plugs and shove em in your ears during the MSI part.
Gerard,if you keep on keeping MSI as your support act, better bring some high quality mesh.
They're lucky MCR fans are nice enough to not bottle them.
I hate to see the type of fan that will be attending the Euro MCR concerts to support MSI.
Can you imagine? This is a band whose forum is called the idiot pit, and members openly talk about kinky sexual experiences. They are diametrically opposite to MCR. I would hate to be in the pit with those fans.
RW bring ear plugs and shove em in your ears during the MSI part.
Good advice, but that doesn't change the fact that they're there. And to think I paid good money for this :/
RW Wear one of those eye mask things that people wear to sleep, and ear plugs during the MSI part. Maybe if EVERYONE did that, they'd get the hint and leave!
Haha, that's a little mean. Sorry.
RW Wear one of those eye mask things that people wear to sleep, and ear plugs during the MSI part. Maybe if EVERYONE did that, they'd get the hint and leave!
Lol, can you imagine?? Maybe I should take a nap while I'm at it!
lol DO IT!
I'm sure they'd appreciate that!
Everyone I am off to bed!
I'm sure I'll have fun catching up on everything in the morning!!
Goodnight!
=]
^Night, paperheartxx :)
http://www.last.fm/event/300160
Anyone speak Spanish?
Judging Jimmy Urine, he would probably set his pubs on fire to get your attention if he saw people with eye masks.
^Should I bring a squirt gun with me? ;)
RW, You need a hose to flush them off stage.
Night paperhearts!
Oh boy, you guys sure make me laugh :)
I would so sleep during MSI's performance. I hear stories about how fans would sleep through a performance because they thought the opening act or whatever was horrible.
Well, I am off to bed myself, but before I do, has anyone noticed Gerard's behavior during tonight's concert? Have you heard anything about it? Because for some reason, I remember the behavior that he was showing during the last European tour when Eliza wasn't with him. From that anon letter on INO, I remember that poster saying that Gerard appeared to be more happy and more relaxed and smiling alot more(This was when Eliza wasn't there) and now that Lyn-Z is not with him at the moment, I heard that some fan has said that Gerard had been showing similiar behavior at tonight's show...
I am not sure if it is true or not though..
Good night little Mayonaise( I hope you will not disappear on us) and good night to the rest of you guys. Hugs and kisses, BC.
One last thing Mayonaise, how come you don't post any comments?
mayonaise,
`sc
Gerard said: "And now, The Black Parade is dead!".
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...
Testing... testing... 1-2-3...
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! ^_^
So Mayo remember this?
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.

Really, this is worse then your cryptic gibberish you post on here.
Keep it straight down the line, "our community" prefers no BS. Now you can reflect on this.
oh and p.s. this whole blog is no longer solely about you. We belong here as well.
sister midnite,
It appears Mayo has travelled the wormhole once!
Mayo's blog has always been GMT minus 6 hours. Nothing has changed.
Sister Midnite said...
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. ^_~
EXACTLY! SS left a comment using his logged in name and still we didn't believe it was him! Poor guy had to change his latin blog header to try and diffuse the chaos.
Anonymous said...
Mayo will never comment in here!
Look what happened when SS tried to do that. FFS nobody even believed it was him and he was using his LOGGED IN NAME! As if that wasn't enough, to try and stop the fighting and remove any doubt, he then changed his Latin blog heading to reflect
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.
So much love, so much understanding, and no one has a clue.
Give it a rest.
Both sides are there, just changing, not of the heart, but of the mind.
The past was not your making, just as you are not the blame, you are (not) one in the same person, as you would believe.
We are not as blind as you see us to be, and we do not and will not, turn a blind eye.
Open, my friend the door, it's all good on the other side.
The clue, one in every post.
p.s for my spell checking friend, blast away, knowledge is all ways welcomed.
Yesterday I was just saying how I loved this place for all the loving, friendly people around. We were like family.
The next day we get about 20 hating anons with 'farting' again.
What the hell? What the hell happened? Did someone link us on INO? Fucking wekjwrerhy
I liked it better when we were one small family with a few anons.
^same here.
Its getting crowded in here.
Pretty soon we'll have to find a new hiding place, far away from the buzznet swarm.
Sit vis vobiscum... Star Wars?
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.
I wasnt referring to all of you for the record.
Im sorry but when i write i tend to use "you people" alot when i dont mean it. I mean a select handful of certain people (not directed at anyone)
You wont agree with what i have to say, and i dont blame you.
But its a public blog and i want to voice my opinion.
You wont agree but thats fine, you dont have to.
Anon @ 10:22
Very interesting and I have to admit I have drawn some of the exact conclusions.
Kind of goes back to the whole “spoiled child” scenario. I can see how he uses people. And ‘Pretty Handsome Awkward’? Fits him to a “T”.
Anon, what you’ve said all makes sense to me.
Anon at 10:22...it's all very interesting. Some if it does make sense.
I need to check out some of those Used songs now...
Anything is possible. Mayonaise could be a dipshit in disguise..
If so, it's a lousy disguise.
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. (WHich, by "way back" I mean like, August. ;D )I remember when it was just Love Man, sdock10, and me as the occasional anonymous poster. ^_~ Oooh, which one was I?
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:
"Three cheers you fooled them all
Come on hip hip hooray"
They're from Hospital.
Hell, i thought the whole, or at least most of it, was about Gerard.
Anon at 10:22 (first anon), I never really connected the used's lyrics with Gerard. Now I'm kind of skeptical about it. AND I don't really think that Gerard is gay, that is just my opinion though=]
And for the other anon at 10:22, thanks for clearing that up for us! Voice your opinion all you'd like, we want to hear it! =]
By the way, good morning/afternoon Mayo and everyone else!
=]
We are the smartest group of people in the world, y'know that?
Or maybe it's just that SimpleSimonFuckinPumpkinPieman thought we were too stupid to ever see through him! This shit IS easy-peasy!
Can't wait to hear more from Mayo soon!
A pretty face, but you do so carry on and on and on...
"either 1 hour till the show...
or the person really writing this blog is a dipshit who doesn't realize that Gerard is actually going onstage soon and almost lost their cover."
haha that was my thought too: cover lost, busted!!! *laugh*
I still think mayo is someone who has a lot of fun with reading all our comments and pretending to be someone else...
call me suspicious... :)
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.
Kapunua,
I do miss those good ol' days, and hell I miss Loveman too. Where has he/she gone?
Oh well, we'll always have kickball.
And as far as Bert goes, I have said this before....Bert is believable, Gerard is not. In every aspect of their lives...."Liar, liar, pants on fire
and the pills go down and get you higher baby
bottles burning, mother fucker"....Tell it like it is Bert!
I think Bert is a jerk in his own special way.
(pun not intended XD )

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.
And as far as Bert goes, I have said this before....Bert is believable, Gerard is not. In every aspect of their lives...."Liar, liar, pants on fire

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.
I think he meant it sincerely, he just knows that they don't mean to be offensive. Remember, he listened to Megadeth, Slayer, and The Misfits. That's not exactly a message of peace and love in those songs, no?
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.
Agreed. I love Gerard and I love this band, but the hypocracy I've been seeing lately is not something I can easily look past.
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.
Agreed. I love Gerard and I love this band, but the hypocracy I've been seeing lately is not something I can easily look past.
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!"
I think he meant it sincerely, he just knows that they don't mean to be offensive. Remember, he listened to Megadeth, Slayer, and The Misfits. That's not exactly a message of peace and love in those songs, no?
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.
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?
That's a very good question. I have wondered what sort of woman would associate themselves with a band like this.
So you take MSI's lyrics seriously?
It's not about MSI.
Farting in the shadows, you didn't answer any of my questions, you just diverted. That doesn't actually work with me.
"It's sort of a joke, a dark/kinky sense of humor"
some people don't find misogynistic, homophobic and racist jokes that funny
And i think its pretty dissapointing that Gerard probably didnt even think of a message or what his fans might think of bringing MSI on tour with them. He was jus thinking about how much more ass he's going to get by bring his wifes band with him.
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?
I wonder where did everyone go?...
^Probably all at work. I've got the day off as it's Thanksgiving here in Canada.
I'm still here. Just sitting back and listening.
I'm here...I have way too much to say but I don't have the strength to say it.
^Whereas I feel like I'm just repeating what I've said earlier.
Yep, nothing new to say at the moment.
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.
Magic Pie,
Say it. It might be hard but we'll listen. Your kickball team is always here for you.
Let it out, you'll feel better.
That's a very good question. I have wondered what sort of woman would associate themselves with a band like this.
Read my question carefully.

This answer might piss a lot of people off but whatever.

That's really nasty. You do realize he has only had one month off of touring to spend time with her? As a married person, he has every right to be with his wife.
Kudos, MP!
Gee whiz.

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?
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
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".
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".
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NxUnerxGX_o
Supposedly, Gerard announced that Bob was drunk during that particular gig....I don't know. I wouldn't know!
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.
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
RW, I definitely think that's best.

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

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.
people are still bitching and moaning about MSI
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.

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."
No worries, then :)
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?
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?
