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.

Shouldn't you be getting ready for the show?
Glad to hear from you dear Mayo!
The other blog was getting really crowded. It actually sucked. You have one hour to spare? Till what Mr. Mayo? You're concert?
=]
i am sorry but if this is supposed to be gerard, isnt he in a concert tonight?
:rofl
Am i the only one who doesnt believe Mayo is Gerard or anyone else in the band except for a mere bored fan?
just wondering
Who care if he is or not.
For me he's just silly Mayo.
Yep,Bob was definitely drunk at yesterdays show and Gerard is an asshole for saying he wants more violence.
I wish i had an eye rolling smiling to put right their. I didnt even bother to watch the video though.
Haha, it really doesn't matter if this is or isn't Gerard. The main thing is his blog brought people together to talk about random stuff.
=]
1 hour to spare....
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.
Nice to see you all again here in the new blog comments!
NICE TO SEE YOU HERE AS WELL BLACK JACKET! I haven't really talked to you much! How are you doing?
=]
What are we mothballing here? The blog? The uniforms? What?
-VM
isn't it about 7.30 in Mexico city?
What time do they go on?
Meh maybe, maybe not Gerard like has been said- who cares
if it is, then no one can provide the pieces you are missing, but perhaps you should examine why you lack what you admire in others.
Perhaps introspection isn't innate, but without a solid core within, nothing that you find without will satisfy.
Passion springs from one's own heart's fire, after all.
Paperheartxx:
NICE TO SEE YOU HERE AS WELL BLACK JACKET! I haven't really talked to you much! How are you doing?
Yeah, we haven't talked much recently aye... that's what different timezones do you you... its quarter to 11 (am) on Monday here.
I am doing splendidly thank you.
How are you and everyone else?
Maybe this will be the last post.
If it is Mayo, Drop in and say something before you leave.
Make it a fitting end.
tbc you claim that mayo is gerard, what do you think about him posting an hour away from taking the stage.
Wow! It is quarter to eight Sunday evening where I am! I'm doing pretty good. Just had Thanksgiving dinner (I live in Canada). =]
they would be playing right now.
its around 9:00 in Mexico at the moment.
Mayo lost his cover...
anyways
Bob should really watch his drinking, he seems to do it a lot.
Silly boy !
I don't know if Gerard announced it but he has in the past and it's not something they should be proud of or advertise.
More violence?????
Sorry but that's ridiculous.
Poor Bob, I worry for him, it's not healthy.
Whatever time it is in MC, there would be a supporting act going on first (as there usually is at concerts), but still he would be getting ready for the show.
Unless the person who writes these blogs is in Europe right now and is a mrS Way. You know the thing about the right hand man?
The wedding photos show him always on her right...
...yeah it's a far-fetched theory, so i'll shut up now :P.
it is 8:50pm here in sunny florida but i am an english girl through and through
Just had Thanksgiving dinner (I live in Canada). =]
:o Thanksgiving! We don't have that in Australia.
It's possible black jacket..
I just checked world time clock and it's only 7:45 in Mexico City
happy thanksgiving for canada!!!!!
hey Black Jacket:
Gidday, fellow downunderan !!
:o Thanksgiving! We don't have that in Australia.
:O you're in Australia?!
My cousin is there right now, I'm extremely jealous!
1 hour to spare....
either 1 hour till the show...
I just looked up the time that the concert starts tonight. It's at 8pm. So, given that there is most likely an opening band going on first, that means MCR wouldn't take the stage til at least 8:30pm, I would think.
Mayo, are you hiding in a corner backstage playing on your laptop?? ;)
in Monterrey the concert started at 9pm, i think
anon:
they would be playing right now.
its around 9:00 in Mexico at the moment.
Actually it's 7:52pm.
That's if my clock (with the fancy timezones option) down the bottom right hand corner of the screen is telling me the right time.
Reflection is a noble attribute to develop.
However dear, you must conquer your innate fear of losing control.
they would be playing right now.
its around 9:00 in Mexico at the moment.
Actually, it's 7:53pm in Mexico city right now. The show starts in 7 minutes. If there's an opening band, it'll be a while yet before MCR take the stage.
Wow, I think that Mayo is now trying to get us to figure him out.
I mean Bleeding Chaos already revealed who he is, and I never doubted her. So now, to me at least, this is just more prove of Mayo's identity.
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
It shows it only being 7:53 in Mexico City
ergoproxy:
hey Black Jacket:
Gidday, fellow downunderan !!
Lol G'day! Nice to see another aussie on here.
paperheartxx:
:O you're in Australia?!
My cousin is there right now, I'm extremely jealous!
Lol yeah, I'm in Australia... though my profile says Antarctica cause I'm a dip-shit lol.
:o That's cool how your cousin is here. I hope they are having a good time down here.
"I hold dear to my heart those whose passion can find no limit, those with righteous hearts, and calloused fingers"
"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."
This is my estimated assumption of what I think Mayonaise is trying to say: So are you trying to tell us that those who are dear to you are your fellow bandmates? Be aware that I know that playing the guitar can caused calloused fingers and hands( I happen to play the instrument myself) and that the word "those" is directing at more than one person.. If you hold them dear, then why are you pushing them away? Are you finally coming to terms with the mistakes you have made? I really am hoping that that is the case because all of us tire of your masquerade.
It appears that you are admitting that you rely on others to see your faults through their own eyes because you yourself cannot witness them, out of your own blindness, selfishness, and lack of self introspection and self discovery.
You must challenge yourself to look deep within yourself. It never hurts to do that once in a while because it can spare you so much pain and misery and trouble.
You can write, and then save a blog post on here to post whenever you want.
So our Mayo could have written this at any time and then just logged on and posted the blog, takes 1 minute.
Again, who knows.
-VM
how come tbc hasn't commented. it kind of makes you wonder.
Actually it's 7:52pm.
Snap, black jacket! :!
finally tbc
okay so its around 7:00
with only around an hour to spare do you people actually think the man would be in a corner on his laptop writing cryptic messages.
Puh-lease. Im sorry but I'm not going to believe for one second that this man is Gerard.
Anyone can write a cryptic blog.
Just takes good poetic skills and dictionary.com
how come tbc hasn't commented. it kind of makes you wonder.
Maybe she's off doing Real Life things right now. We've all got lives, though sometimes it may not look that way ;)
The thing I find odd is that Mayonaise never came after us about him being Gerard.
Hmm...
"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."
I'm willing to be this is the case.
"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."

Could be.
Maybe he wants us to believe that he is.
The thing I find odd is that Mayonaise never came after us about him being Gerard.
Hmm...
Exactly. You'd think Mayo would say something after you revealed who he was. But he never did.. Fishy fishy fishy.
Some people were expecting me to arrive and post a comment? Makes me feel like I just got invited to a party. *Joking* by the way ;) Sorry guys, I had a few things I needed to do.
Anything is possible. Mayonaise could be a dipshit in disguise..
Maybe he is taking the stage in an hour, but what do the band do will the support act is on.
I bet it's pretty mundane things, then the last 15 minutes they would do the ritual psyching up.
I meant "while" in the above post.

Geez where's my party?! Haha, just joking. It's only because everyone loves you Bleeding Chaos!:P
Maybe he wants to throw us off by posting when we would obviously then doubt it was him.
In other words, maybe he is trying to cause us to doubt it is him.
Don't let us get to close in that rear view mirror of yours, Mr. Mayo.
-VM.
I'll just say this about the timing. You all have made valid opinions to the contrary of it being some person with a screw loose messing around. I can see all of that happening. But, I find it very, very hard to believe that Gerard, ready to go on stage in an hour to an hour and a half, would take the time to find an internet connect or pop out his sidekick (or Mikey's *shrug*) to post on here, even if he had written it previously. If Mayo really wanted to throw us for a loop, he shouldn't have posted another blog after we had begged for some "more room". That would have made us think that Gerard was on stage at the time, thus wouldn't have been able to lurk and see that we wanted another blog posted.
BUT, what Mayo said about the calloused fingers and introspection, that was really heartfelt. Maybe he doesn't have such a black heart like he once claimed. I think it's turning gray.
Aw don't worry, everyone is invited ;) I don't expect people to show any love because then the asskissing will begin and frankly, I despise asskissing. It's one of my big pet peeves actually. I admire honesty and speaking your mind. That is all :)
Haha thanks for the invite BC!
I hate asskissing as well, especially when you know whats going on.
VM:
Good thought. I guess it could go either way here. We'll never know.
Perhaps the post has nothing to do with the rquests for needing more room. Maybe he just always posts at that time. Seems like he/she posts on Sunday quite often.
-VM
Anon2007, I think this new blog may reveal that Mayonaise is finally starting to open up. I believe that in this world of ours, there is no black and white, just shades of gray. I am keeping my fingers and hope crossed that Mayonaise may open his eyes...
VM, if he is doing that sort of thing by throwing us off, I hate to say that I won't be surprised. He is such a sneaky little bastard :)
I am keeping my fingers and hope crossed that Mayonaise may open his eyes...
Aren't we all.
VM, if he is doing that sort of thing by throwing us off, I hate to say that I won't be surprised. He is such a sneaky little bastard :)
He is isn't he?
Anon 2007,
Just saying, but he does have a PDA, and it's quite easy to send a pre written email with the tap of a button.
And he does keep this device around for his appointments etc.
Kind of off topic, but I've been doing come cleaning up & I just came across a local free paper from Sept. 4th. I kept it because I thought Gerard's horoscope was interesting:
"Worries about a family abound. Love at first sight means you need an eye exam."
Frank's is interesting too:
"The solution to the problem is made visible with dedication. A friendship may be damaged as a result of duty. Pardon your ally for mistakes."
tbc what does your " Mayo is Gerard" source think now that everybody thinks mayo is not gerard based on tonight's post.
Am i the only one who doesnt believe Mayo is Gerard or anyone else in the band except for a mere bored fan?
just wondering
No, you're not. I don't think it's him, either.
But I still don't want thes blogs to end (what's with the "one last time" crap?!)because for the most part, I like the people who all post on here and I think if we took it to another blog, it wouldn't be the same.
That doesn't mean that I can't fantasize that Gerard would be referring to Frank's calloused fingers, though. ^_~
Plus I think that it is not a coincidence that he/she has allowed us in a little at the last minute.
Gives us a little insight and then runs and hides.
-VM
That's true anonymous. My older brother has one of those Blackberry devices where you can send messages and schedule appointments and such.
That doesn't mean that I can't fantasize that Gerard would be referring to Frank's calloused fingers, though. ^_~
I think someones thinking dirty thoughts right now!:P;)
Check out the times our comments are posted, guys. Do those times reflect the time zone of the blogger? Do they do that automatically, or can they be set to do that?
I hold dear to my heart those whose passion can find no limit, those with righteous hearts, and calloused fingers.
I feel that it's my duty as a bassist to point out that guitar isn't the only instrument you can get calloused fingers from. *MIKEY* *BOB?*
I mean, cause...

Ha ha, I don't think you're the only one Kapunua ;) but I believe Mayo was referring to more than one person.
Kapunua,
I am pretty sure that it can be changed, BUT blogger has a default. So if you don't bother to change it, it just goes to default.
I never set mine but it does not coincide with the time zone I live in either.
-VM
Kind of off topic, but I've been doing come cleaning up
Um... I meant "some cleaning" not "come cleaning"...
*crosses eyes*
Exactly, FITS
I am pretty sure that it can be changed, BUT blogger has a default. So if you don't bother to change it, it just goes to default.
Does the default change depending on where you are located? Because either this blogger is clever enough to have changed his/her default to that of CDT, or the blogger actually IS in CDT.
I mean, check it.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City is the capital of Mexico

*crosses eyes*
Suuuuure you did. Hey, that stuff is sticky, it takes time! ^_~
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?
can someone send me a link to the video where gerard supposedly throw vomit at the fans?
i think we all know how gerard gets callouses on his fingers we seen it every day on the pr tour.
feel that it's my duty as a bassist to point out that guitar isn't the only instrument you can get calloused fingers from. *MIKEY* *BOB?*
Indeed. It would be referring to any of them, or all of them.
That doesn't mean that I can't fantasize that Gerard would be referring to Frank's calloused fingers, though. ^_~
Oh yea Kapunua, the calloused fingers thing got me too! That Frank is one SMF! Love to thnk that Gerard can't deny it either.
-VM
Um... I meant "some cleaning" not "come cleaning"...
*crosses eyes*
Suuuuure you did. Hey, that stuff is sticky, it takes time! ^_~
ROFL. XD
My chair nearly hit the desk when I read that!
Guys? The time? I mean I really don't believe this is Gerard, but whoever it is was clever enough to set the blog to default to Mexico City's time. Amirite?
I like how you're thinking Kapunua.
I going out on the line here. I suspect it is him. But knowing his ability to game play, I would speculate that the moment we suspect it is, he would try to confuse us.
I also think he has lost a fair bit of perceptive because of his life is so out of touch with the reality of most people's lives. How many of us have a body guard in public at all times. How many of us live in hotels constantly, or have other agreeing or attending to our needs at our whim (the pa's at Reprise/warner).
I also think that although being surrounded by many, and despite being married he is very lonely. In part, these blogs do give him some form of attention he seeks.
My chair nearly hit the desk when I read that!
Please, I have not yet begun to perv.
p.s. here we go, one last time...it's in the blood.
They often say that show business is "in the blood." What, are you saying that this is the "last time" for that? Last concert? Last tour?
Anon @ 8:31
I agree. If this is Gerard, I can see where this blog may fulfill some sort of social outlet he is no longer capable of in the real world.
-VM
Good point, anon at 8:31pm.
Please, I have not yet begun to perv.
*shivers* I suspect it's going to be a loooooong night... ;)
Last tour.
^Thanks for clearing that up, Gee.
Blogger seems to default to Pacific time.
You're a clever one, Mayo, setting your blog to coincide with where Gerard is right now.
But there's always someone cleverer than yourself.
I hope this isn't the fucking last tour! I never got to see them live!!
*cries*
I agree with that too anon@8:31. Seems like Mayo is looking to us, as corny as it sounds, for theraputic advice. He may have not had anyone to point out his flaws (which we've done here multiple times), or to talk AT him, not break under his "strength". You could very well be right.
When Frank was on LA Ink, he was talking about his father and grandfather being musicians. He said something like "being a musician is in my blood."
Just a thought.
Sometimes you need an outsiders perspective. Those that are close to us have too much at stake.
-VM
Certainly, it's the last of something. I doubt the last tour, but something is coming to an end.
Whoa whoa whoa!!! Whose the anon that said last tour, or are you coming in disguise with "inside" info?
eems like Mayo is looking to us, as corny as it sounds, for theraputic advice.
That's cause this is the Mayo Clinic.
Well done gerard its bout time you looked at yourself. All is not lost you know. No matter how long you have relied on the second hand tales of others its not impossible to change a lifetimes pattern of thinking. Allthat is needed is a little RE-WIRING.
What is it that you see in others that you wish to see in yourself? The ability to cope? To leave the past in the past? To forgive yourself? For all the bad things you have done you must remember there is definitly some good things that you toss aside without so much as a second thought.
You KNOW i believe that you should be remembered for the good things you have done.
It is true we value in others what we wish we could be ourselves. Ask yourself what your fans and the ones with the righteous hearts that you so speak value in you? what they have missing from themselves?
Its a two way road my friend and you arent a lost case you are just temporarily blinded.
You aspire, you will be x
^Funny Kapunua. Very funny. ;)
That's cause this is the Mayo Clinic.
You rock.
Kapunua,
You nailed it. This is the MAYO clinic.
Do you think we can deliver him from evil?
-VM
eems like Mayo is looking to us, as corny as it sounds, for theraputic advice.
Maybe Mayo is jealous because his blog brought a whole bunch of people together, and he wants to be apart of our family!
=]
We are family...
I hate that song. :P
Just to let you know here in CA it is 6:43. But I don't think the time will match on the post that it put in here
^^lol. It does get annoying
"One last time" could refer to this being his last blog. Or maybe it will be his last show cause he is a manic depressant who has decided to commit suicide right after the show.
Not exactly the most pleasantest of theories, but you have to explore all the possibilities.
I dunno guys. I think blogger's setting it at CST. The times on the posts are matching up with CST. I don't think the default is set at Pacific.
Or maybe it will be his last show cause he is a manic depressant who has decided to commit suicide right after the show.
I HOPE NOT! =[
"One last time" could refer to this being his last blog. Or maybe it will be his last show cause he is a manic depressant who has decided to commit suicide right after the show.
Not exactly the most pleasantest of theories, but you have to explore all the possibilities.
But what are the possibilities that make logical sense?
Anon:
I know we're exploring all possibilities here, but that's my biggest fear. Even if Mayo is Gerard or not, I fear that one day, this pressure will get to him. The pressure to live up to something he thinks he should be. The pressure of the industry. Call me what you want, but it just frightens me.
Gerard will always have the support of his fans, no matter what. That is one thing he need not fear.
Anon2007,
You aren't alone with that. I'm scared that one day, the bad things said on this blog will get to Mayo, then one day, something bad happens to him. I'm frightened as well. Just know you aren't alone anon2007.
I seriously hope it's not the last blog. I'm having too much fun here. To be totally honest I'd prefer it if it meant "the last tour" because the way MyChem is going now (dragging that crap pro-violence / anti-feminist band on tour with them, and Gerard asking for more violence from the crowd,) I'd rather the rest of the guys bow out with their dignity and grace intact.
And about the "one last time". None of his PS's have made sense to me thus far. They never go with what Mayo's written in his main blog. I'm still looking at every fourth word to find the meaning of life here people! Maybe it was just a final thought before he pressed submit.
True Kapunua. Maybe they should take their own inspiration from Sergeant Pepper's and quit touring and just be a studio band. I've got mixed feelings on that though.
Didn't someone leave TBS he could be referring to that. We were talking about them in the last blog. Maybe someone is leaving them. A member of the crew maybe.
I think the boys in the band need a vacation from touring, new cities/countries, hotels, sharpies, etc. Maybe they'll get some normalcy and get back to their true friends and families.
as for the blogger time setting, it defaults to somewhere because it sure doesn't coincide with the time here, posting on my blog that is. def. a US time zone of some kind.
I think that Gerard should take a vacation, and figure himself out. Preferably in Canada, then I could finally meet him;)
How do you sin?
Are you doubting the path you chose?
The obscured path of time has limits, you understand.
Run from the past quickly enough and you'll find yourself lost.
You've passed the fork in the road,
but you can change.
Shall we walk together,
or will you run?
I must be the only person that has read this blog as a big sarcastic Fuck You to us.
As far as the "one last time" and "in the blood" - I think Mikey is tired of it and now, he is also getting tired of it...
Last tour.
Yeah, this tour has been going on for nearly a year now, and will be conon tinuing into next year. Not seeing your family/loved ones for months on end, living out of a suitcase... that's got to get to you after a while
Because I aspire to be more than I have brought to the table so far.
I don't think Mayo is happy with his life right now. It seems to me that he needs a change in his life right about now.
So you would rather have My Chem end their career to keep this blog alive.
Okay, i guess its your opinion but whatever.
And whats with most people being against MSI, just because their lyrics are a little on the nutty side doesn't mean it reflects what the guys view.
Its just jimmy's sick sense of humor (whether you find it funny or not)
I think for now i ought to keep my mouth zipped.
The things i want to say would upset a lot of people.
Rumour has it (and this really is just a rumour, no proof at the present time) that Mikey's current contract expires in December, and he may not be looking to renew it.
silence: i love how you jump in and post poetry !
I wanted to ask if the one about burning bridges was an existing poem or yours.
this date stamps an hour later than BC's blog
I'm Australian. Well, atleast I used to live there.
Rumour has it (and this really is just a rumour, no proof at the present time) that Mikey's current contract expires in December, and he may not be looking to renew it.
I really don't blame him. This past year has been fucking crazy for them all. Touring must get pretty tiring. Plus, with all the crazy shit that happened on PR, he must be sick of that as well..
Oh thanks, ergo.
The burning bridges was something Mayo mentioned... I think it was the previous blog but I'm too lazy to check.
Aw silence !!
Once an aussie, always an aussie ! lol
and this dates 2 hrs later than mine, which is about 15 hrs out of my real time
sorry, on a mission here.
anon51 i was thinking the same thing it does read very sarcastically.
It does seem like its directed towards us. It seems dry and sarcastic..
I believe this is the last tour. There is too much dissension and conflict within the band. They all need a temporary separation, or a permanent divorce is imminent.
The Way brothers are the least able to cope.
Aw silence !!
Once an aussie, always an aussie ! lol
and this dates 2 hrs later than mine, which is about 15 hrs out of my real time
sorry, on a mission here.
Out of curiousity, I checked the time on my blog. It comes up as 3 hours behind my current time. I wonder how that works?
anon @ 9:06 are you mayo leading us?
It is in the end when we find the light.
Here we go, one last time...it's in the blood.
Something will end, be it the band, his life, or simply this tour.
Maybe all the comment times are directly relational to the time the blog owner has set theirs. Ex. If the blog owner time shows up in CST, then all of the comments will show up as CST. Does that make sense? I don't know for sure how it works though.
So you would rather have My Chem end their career to keep this blog alive.
Yes. This blog is fun. MCR is just a disappointing mess and not even a shadow of what they used to be. I'm one of those few people, the adults, who were brought on board because of the message the band was all about. Anti-violence, anti-sexism, anti-racism, anti-homophobia. The things they were teaching to the children who went to see them: that it was a safe place for them, that "homophobia is gay," that You Are Beautiful, and that women deserve to be treated with respect.
Now Gerard is throwing puke at his fans and encouraging them to be violent. Yeah, and dragging MSI out on the road with them.
And whats with most people being against MSI, just because their lyrics are a little on the nutty side
Oh yeah, "Five year old panty shot, my life has meaning when she spreads her legs." El to the Oh to the El. How "nutty." Just what every 13 year old "ILU GEE!!!" fan should be taught.
And hey, I'm just going by the things that Gerard himself has said about rock music and responsibility in lyrics. So if you object to people hating on disgusting lyrics, don't look at me, honey. Look at Gerard. Because he was the one who used to call them out all the time.
I dont'know about last tur but,
I have a feeling that Frank will be following in Fred's footsteps soon. I am not happy about this.
Anon @9:12 I have thought the same thing.
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.
Paperheartxx,
Yes I agree the PR tour was a monument to the crazies, some real spinal tap moments.
Someone posted a youtube video of Gerard at PR on that silly Buzznet Crotch thread which made made feel quite embarrassed for the boy, although I think he was deliberately trying to embarrass himself.
Gerard it is not a good idea to perform on stage while you have a semi erection!
I know your too young to be taking viagra, so what happened? Time for a LONGGGG break.
Frank should ditch this shit while he still has his dignity. He has Skeleton Crew and Leathermouth, he has his confidence and his genuine heart. I'd be glad if Frank left. He deserves better.
I'm right behind you in line Kapunua. I don't want this band to end, but they'd be preaching a different sermon to the future masses. I still believe in the lesson they taught; I firmly believe it. I guess they, or maybe just Gerard (again, the mouth of the band. we hear mostly from him and what he has to say. we also, with him being "ring leader" see most of his antics),just don't believe the same message anymore. I don't know. This is all very confusing.
Yes, he has his comic but he only got that because of MCR. He even said it in LOTMS. He couldn't get publish before but now that he is famous he can.
Its like actor who are on a hit show, they get all these offers for other jobs because of the free publicity that the show they are on offers. Take that show away and no one wants anything to do with them.
Honestly, I'd be devastated if this band broke up. Last night, watching LOTMS, watching them evolve as people and musicians, and listening to their songs, I literally cried for like an hour.
Anybody think that s//c ditty Frank posted has a lot to do with what's going on his personal life, not just s//c? People thought I was crazy when I brought up the whole "some bands breaking up, some bands remain productive" bit being possibly about Fred leaving, seeing as how they are all good friends. Maybe there's something else behind that little bit of the post?
When I read that s/c letter thing from Frank, and read "some bands breaking up, some bands remain productive" I first thought "Oh no, what's happening to MCR?"
I've said it from the beginning that I want these guys happy with themselves. I want them healthy and happy. If ending this band is what has to happen for that to occur, then I support it 100%. I will still have what I learned from them. I will still listen to the music, and as I posted last night, I will still remember all of the good times I had with this band and their music. No, I don't want to see them break up, much less breaking on bad terms. But, if they must, they must.
Im sorry to say
but if you need a band to tell you that your beautiful and dont go around beating the shit out of people, thats just pathetic.
You put your life in the hands of a band, they will drop it. End of story. And when you rely on a band tp lead you and advice your life, than youve obviously put your life in their hands.
Throwing puke into the crowd, encouraging violence and dragging MSI on tour.
You must be Gerards brain to know what his intentions were of doing these things.
Has it ever occured to you that perhaps oh i dont know, there were valid reasons to these actions.
And dont think that for one second im in denial because i think Gerard is some beautiful god. I actually think he;s quite ugly normal huma being.
But none of that shit ever mattered to me, im only hear for one reason, the music.
Take a legendary band- Led Zeppelin,
the band broke up because of the immense drug and alchol problems, yet no one cares about that today. People still listen to them and honor them
So if your going to stop listening to a band because of Gerad not being an angel and spreading the message, well thats you problem.
End of fucking rant
I would hate it if MCR broke up. How could I stand it, when my life wouldn't be the same without them?

You're right anon2007. They've already accomplished alot as a band, now it might be time to personally find themselves. I think they rose to fame too quickly, and now they'll come crashing down at a rapid speed.
Hear hear, anon2007!
One last thing:
All of you are going to rant at me calling me some teenie or whatever, but i dont give a crap.
All these rumors you people believe, its going to lead you no where.
Keep encouraging the failure of this band.
"Yep, Frank definitely should leave, he's treated like shit"
And why would know how?
Assumptions, Assumptions, Assumptions, yet absolutly no proof.
Keep it up and we'll see.
So long and goodnight

I'd be very interested to hear from him what his "valid" reasons would be for tossing puke at fans and encouraging violence at a show.
I agree with one thing you said anon^^, that we are only encouraging the failure of the band.
No Anon. We're bigger people than that, at least I hope we are, and we can all respect your opinion. Everything here is fair play. No one has cemented anything in stone. The possibilities are endless. Have a good night.
This is what it sounds like to me:
"Let's mothball this shit baby"
(Let's bring this shit to an end, baby)
...with one hour to spare. (He's gotta a show to do)
"Is it true that we value in others what we want to see in ourselves, the missing piece...pieces, or peace?"
(He thinks we must see something in him that we want to emulate. Yeah...)
I hold dear to my heart those whose passion can find no limit, those with righteous hearts, and calloused fingers.
(calloused fingers of us bloggers...)
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...(So tell me - you bloggers seem to think you have all the answers)
"it is far too painful. The awkwardness, the shuffle, gives rise to self doubt and sour bile. " (So you keep telling me)
I rely on second hand tales and the perceptions of others to deliver me from evil.
^That one should be obvious. And is the biggest "Up yours" of all.
RW: Agree with you on that. I don't think he'd have a "valid" reason. Probably just an excuse.
Perhaps a long-term break is okay, no? I think that at thr speed things have been going for them, they need at least half a year to catch up with themselves.
Fame is dragging them along, and if they let go, it won't come back to pick them up, and what they worked so hard on will have meant nothing to them.
anon51:
Good vantage point you have there. It does seem like a big F-you when you put it in terms such as that. Maybe we should stop telling him what to do now? I'm at a loss.
And I gotta agree with anon up there at 9:22. Basically, I've never understood all these people saying that "MCR saved my life!"
Pitiful...
I'd be very interested to hear from him what his "valid" reasons would be for tossing puke at fans and encouraging violence at a show
accident or on purpose, we will never know.
Who has gone a whole day without making one mistake.
NO ONE.
Ugh, you know what, i dont even care anymore.
Say what you want,
but it is the fans that are destroying the band, not the band itself
(waits for all the nasty comments ready to be thrown at her)
Anon51, I have to agree with your interpretation. It's a big "fuck you" to those who decide how his life is going for him.
I don't need a band to tell me how to think or how to feel. Its was just nice to have a band that had a positive message. When all you get these days id Britney and the million of knock offs that are throw at us it was refreshing.
Thank you, Thank you...
(Taking a bow whilst flipping Mayo off)
Anon51, I have to agree with your interpretation. It's a big "fuck you" to those who decide how his life is going for him.
Well, if Mayo is Gerard than I can't really say that I blame him for that.
Actually, I never heard the positive message - except for things he said on stage.
"Fame is dragging them along, and if they let go, it won't come back to pick them up, and what they worked so hard on will have meant nothing to them."
I don't agree with you Shadows. Here's why: This band has put an imprint onto many hearts and minds. You listen to what I'm saying, because this band will go down into history books. Step outside of the fandom for a second. Look how political this band is. They've got some very good things to say in regards to social issues. Sure, fame has a little to do with it right now, since we're still in the fifteen minutes. But once it's over, be it a complete breakup or not, they will have left a legacy. A small break will not ruin their music. Fans will not forget. They will remember everything, good and bad. Those who remain standing beside them after a break-up or a hiatus have gained the most. Fame has very little to do with it, in my opinion.
"Let's mothball this shit baby...with one hour to spare."
According to blogossary.com Mothball=To mothball a blog means to stop posting regularly to the blog and put it into archival mode for posterity.
yes, it is nice to have a band with a nice message
but whoever said there message was gone? Just because Gerard doesn't give speeches in between songs means nothing.
The songs are the message.
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Im sorry to say
but if you need a band to tell you that your beautiful and dont go around beating the shit out of people, thats just pathetic.
It's called "reading comprehension" anon. Look into it. When did I ever say that I needed a band to tell me that I was beautiful? Oh, hang on a sec, it's coming to me... Right, I didn't.
I was glad, however, that they were around for the younger generation who needed this kind of positive message in their lives.
Remember, it was Gerard who said they were out to save lives. They wanted this pedestal.
Has it ever occured to you that perhaps oh i dont know, there were valid reasons to these actions.
Oh, do enlighten me to what would be a "valid reason" for his throwing puke into the audience? Do enlighten me, O Bright Star, because I'd like to know what you'd consider a "valid reason" for throwing your puke at your fans.
^^I don't think that any reason is a good reason to throw puke on your fans.
Again RW and Kapunua, I'm at a loss for a valid reason. I respect her opinion, but for the life of me, I can't see how condoning violence and throwing his vomit at an audience is legitimate.

That sucks, Mayo. Did you seriously lead everyone on here for over a month so that you could bail when it got interesting? I always kinda had you pegged as a coward. Hiding behind a fake identity because of the attention it was getting you. How'd that feel, pretending to be someone famous? You know the attention was never on you, right? You know people thought you were Gerard Way.
What, you ran out of things to say to make people believe that?
I hate frauds in any context. Mayo, Gerard, hell you may as well be the same person for all the truth you both tell.
anon2007 - while they will have left their mark, it will have been a disappointingly short run. While it would still mean something, it would be painful to look back.
But all they need is a short hiatus. And I don't see a plethora of rifts. If there are some conflicts in the band, I'm sure they can be settled.
I really think that MCR needs a break, they need to step back from the spotlight for a while. Maybe after a year-long break, they'd have things sorted out.
They certainly deserve a break. Who is with me on that?!
*raises both arms* ME!
"Actually, I never heard the positive message - except for things he said on stage."
VV said it best.

Anon @ 9.22 p.m.
The valid reasons that Gerard might have had for the puking etc, might be valid to his distorted thinking at the time, but belies the behavior of a professional musician.
And yes, it is about the music and as unreasonable as it sounds people do identify with the message, however wrong it may be, even a certain band member seems to identify with it's continuing theme.
In terms of Led Zepplin, the hard core followers do still follow their music, and they are remembered for certain musical door-openings, however I doubt they are seen as a band for other musicians to aspire to apart from Jimmy Page and his guitar rifts.
No matter what happens MCR will always have a following, however not everyone wants them to end up as a "Typical" rock band.
FITS and paperheartxx, agreed. Right now the emphasis is on the antics. It needs to get back to being about the music. Being together on a tour bus all day & a stage at night, they must all get sick of the sight of each other at times. I think a long break would be beneficial to all of them.
Ah, Kapunau:
"I always kinda had you pegged as a coward."
And what was it Adam Lazzarus asked? "What is the oposite of valor?"
But Shadows, it hasn't been a short run. They've accomplished so much in their six years as a band, and if they continue, they will have much more music to offer. I know that you know MCR will eventually part ways at some point, be it tomorrow or ten years down the road. It will end eventually. I understand that it will be painful, but stop and consider the pain the guys may be in from touring years on end, the pain the may be in from being mentally exhausted, from not being on the right kilter. Would you want them to continue in that way when they've said everything they feel that needs to be said?
I agree that maybe a hiatus will solve some problems, BUT IF THEIR ARE BIG MENTAL AND FRIENDSHIP/BROTHERHOOD PROBLEMS OCCURING, I'm not sure a short hiatus will solve that stuff. It's embedded and comes back up at the most inconvenient times. That is IF something is going on. IF.
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.
By hiatus, I meant 6-12 months.
Right now, nothing about this band is about the music. No one is focusing on the thing that matters. After a break, I hope that it goes back to what really matters... of course the music.
Well, I couldn't follow that link, anon, but I did find this:
"Headfirst For Halos"
Yeah!
Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
[Chorus]
And we'll fly home
We'll fly home
You and I
We'll fly home
Come on!
Well now I'm back in the middle of the day that starts it all.
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling.
And now these red ones make me fly,
And the blue ones help me fall.
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling.
[Chorus]
And we'll fly home,
You and I,
We'll fly home.
Now honestly that's what I said to her, what I said to her
Think happy thoughts
Think ha... wooo!
That certainly sounds like an uplifting and positive message to me...
Yes, MCR and MSI are separate entities, but I would NEVER take my son to a MSI show. I wouldn't want him coming home singing "Panty shot."
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.
Right now, nothing about this band is about the music. No one is focusing on the thing that matters. After a break, I hope that it goes back to what really matters... of course the music.
I would love for it to be that way. It's a shame that we bloggers so often get caught up in this talk. I don't want to be blind to their personal lives, but I wish that we could talk about music sometimes. :P
you know, all this weirdness is really just from the projekt rev tour -- just one month! so maybe it was just a crazy ass tour.
whatever is going to happen, i will always give these guys the benefit of the doubt -- Gerard included! -- because they've always seemed like people who constantly strive to be better than what they were.
i have confidence that whatever the hell is really going on, they'll make it through.
band or no band, these five guys are pretty damn amazing people, imo.
Holy shit, guys... does anyone else think that we're WAY over-analyzing this? (yes, pun intended)
The is the Internet. You can manipulate ANY site's time zone. It's based on whatever time you choose; if you don't pick one, it defaults to the time zone where the site is located.
"One last time" could mean anything. It could even be an empty threat. After all, he *will* be rejoining the new Mrs. soon.
And again, 50 new anons who come here to tell us all that we're full of shit. Maybe we are. But at least our minds are open to all the possibilities, which is more than I can say for any of you. Yes, Gerard is backstage, according to Mexican time. How do any of us know what he's doing? There *is* the possibility that he's behind this latest. Honestly, the way some of you believe that the life of a musician is sooooo much more important than anyone else's -- where do you get this crap? Let me be so kinds as to point something out to you: Gerard Way does the exact same things any other human being does. He's talented, but he is NOT any more or less important than the rest of us mere mortals. If you believe that he is, you really need to grab some self-esteem. (/rant)
So Mayo, does this mean that you're taking your blog away to put it in mothballs?
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???
PS - Be sure not to choke on your aspirations. You'll need them when you've pushed everyone who cares about you away.
Post 200! :D
Yes, MCR and MSI are separate entities, but I would NEVER take my son to a MSI show. I wouldn't want him coming home singing "Panty shot."
Then leave your seats during their set. Grab a mega-size super-salty pretzel, and enjoy the sunny sky. No one's forcing you to like or listen to them.
And keep in mind that I'm under 18, but I can survive through an MSI set. Hell, I actually LIKE their music. (le gasp)
