It is down right impossible to kill the mood around here this fine evening. So, my intended post has been shelved for the time being. I am grateful for the distraction; my mood had drifted toward the foul. I am not my usual pretty princess self. You laugh...would you prefer The Queen? Quite honestly, I am like an unruly child.
Foolishly, I lost my temper. In an attempt to do far too many things at once, I allowed myself to snap under the pressure. The target of my destructive behavior, ever so graciously, allowed my rant without a challenge. And yes...as I know you will ask, I have apologized. I am truly sorry.
p.s. those dark moments back there cause me to pause and thank you.

Fuck yeah, I'm down. I think I will dress up like Satan..oh wait...Fuck that won't work
Ok, look. How is it possible that you have been to see the exact same fuckin' concerts as me, Dr. Nut?
P.S. - Don't forget that whole Ty Herndon thing. Heh-heh. Or NSync. You know you were soooooo there.
Can I come as Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas?
That is if I'm invited ?( hides away for being cheeky )

I hope you enjoy.
So, I'm obviously the baby of this group. 23. Wasn't introduced to a lot of the hard rock, metal, punk stuff until my late teens. I reluctantly admit that my first infatuation with any group was New Kids, followed by *do'h* Nsync. I will surely die now.
With that said, I will defend myself on the latter of the two. I have the greatest amount of respect for any artist who is able to sing live. No matter how corporate they were, and how much Lou Pearlman MADE them who they were, they could still sing. And they could sing a cappella and do it fucking well. So, for no other reason, my liking that group was because of that.
After that, my infatuation turned to music in general. Any type of music, not certain groups, artists, or genres. If it was good, I liked it. But, I still have a soft spot for some old rock. I love practically every band that came out of the 60's and 70's and some of the 80's. So, I feel much like an old soul when it comes to music.

Hi Amyranth,
Aww, the dog was trying to protect you!
S&V20,
No you did not just go there....oh wait you did go there...didn't you?
GS,
Of course you can come too! That would be so bad ass!
Amyranth,
Oh, man, you poor thing. Harley was defending you from the big bad poster!
Hey, they can attack, look what mine did to me! :)
And Tojours, you're right. I noticed that ESPECIALLY around older MCR fans, there seems to be fellow Durannies. Maybe there's something to this...
Simon- Gerard
John- Mikey
Frank- Nick
Ray- Andy
Roger- Bob
What do you guys think? :)
L.
Oh my god, Martha Jones, thank you!!
S&V20,
I could have sworn someone said they saw you at a White Cross/Tempest concert in some little theater in some little shit town in Georgia.
Nah....couldn't have been you.
Do you all want a laugh?
Well I'm 38 and up until 5 yrs ago I had never been to a gig!
How sad is that!
Made up for it since though.
Simon- Gerard
John- Mikey
Frank- Nick
Ray- Andy
Roger- Bob
Hmm. I can see Roger/Bob and maybe John/Mikey, but I'm not sure about the others. Frank, in particular, defies classification.
mustardisbetter
Hello sister. I'm only a year older.
The only DD song I ever heard was Electric Barbarella.
-Amyranth
You could always dress up like an angel, Sdock10. As long as you cover your horns and trade your pitchfork for a harp.
:-)
Peeps, I'm sorry. I never got into Duran Duran that much. Hungry Like a Wolf just always made me think of that movie with Farrah Fawcett where she shot her kids. They are pretty cool though. Simon was pretty sexy back in the day.
You are welcome. I personal think it would be more Gerard-John. they both went to art school, had those substance problems, and all the girls go wild for them.
lol original punks -- i don't know i there's a clear correlation, but...
>.>
i'll just say...
(make-up)
And Duran Duran, nah sorry, never did anything for me.
RW said:
Frank, in particular, defies classification.
HA! How true, RW. Bless him. And we wouldn't want him any other way.
Going to bed, have a good night, guys!
L.
Frank would be warren. Couldn't you just see Frank with a cock necklace around his neck.
I have no idea what you are talkin' about Sdock10. None. Nope. I did see Hank Jr. one time drunk at a high school football stadium.
Good times, man.
I think I heard Matchbox Twenty one time in Atlanta. It's hard to say. I was too fuckin' short to see over anyone.
GS - You better come.
That goes for the rest of you as well. We gotta support our punk rock cutie pie.
Martha Jones - Frank could be Warren.
What?!
Who ?!
Huh ?!
See ya L! Have a good night as well.
One more post :)
Toujours-
And I will say, Frank, like Nick, ALWAYS looks better in make-up than most of us do.
BYE!
Oh, and Thank You, Mayo, for letting us hijack your blog for Durannie talk tonight. Join in if you like... :)
L.
Don't you remember Warren I can't say his last name who replaced Andy in Duran Duran. Warren the man who would walk down hallways in front of fans wearing nothing but a feather boa.
Bye Original Punks :)
I'm heading off to bed as well. Have a good night!
S&V20,
You are in charge of HallowFrankNite...or whatever you waant to call it...b-day/costume party.
I am now off to bed. My 3 tylenol pms are finally starting to kick my ass.
Have a good nite everyone!
Mayo, you too.
Love to all!
S
Goodnight RW!
Pleasant dreams.
I lost interest in Duran Duran before Warren joined, so I'm not familiar with him at all. After talk of the cock necklace & feather boa, though, I feel like I missed out!
Bye guys :)
Nope :)
I'm off as well because as my beloved Bertie would say...
' It's 4 o' clock in the fucking morning '
It's been fun, goodnight all.
TTFN
Goodnight L, RW and sdock!
Sleep well.
Hello everyone.
Goodnight to you as well Sdock. You should sleep well with that shit in your system! Knocks me out cold.
Warren was a little slut. Right before he left the band he put out a sex toy of himself.
Goodnight to you too GS!
Oh my goodness! All of you are leaving!
Goodnight GS! Sleep well.
good night, you guys. sweet dreams of the fab five!
Good night to all you guys who are leaving sweet dreams
Entropy, it looks like it's you, me and Martha!
How are you guys?
I'm alright how are you guys?
I'm good and you?
I'm anxious again for tonight's show.
And toujours!
Seriously, dial-up sucks hard...major hard. By the time the page loads, my comment looks like a dumbass because it's about 3 minutes behind!
*ahem*
;)
Tonight's show?
Are they playing again?
-Amyranth
I'm alright I wonder when we will get a new post from mayo?
Doing well, thanks.
I bet tonight's show effin' rocked. I just can't imagine what went down, with Bon Jovi and all.
Tonight is the show with Bon Jovi.
Tomorrow too.
What will the BJ fans think of MCR. Will Frank and Gerard kiss in front of them.
mustard, you and i are in the same boat, connection-wise, so no worries -- but it was pretty funny! :)
"MarthaJones said...
I'm alright I wonder when we will get a new post from mayo?"
My thoughts exactly...
Entropy
Oh! I forgot about that!
I wish they'd come back to Canada, even thought we have snow here.
It snowed last night, and for the first time in a very long time I was excited. I usually hate snow.
-Amyranth
HI !!
On the topic of Duran Duran, they were my first gig, I had to take my cousin.
They weren't a fave but parents said I was too young to see Kiss!
And Def Leppard are fantastic, was never really into Bon Jovi, but some songs are good
Hello Aip how are you?
Hey guys;
Mayo, how are you doing? I haven't heard from/about you lately!
=]
Hi ep same question I asked eeryone how are you?
Hi PH.
Amyranth;
What part of Canada do you live in?
I'm in Winnipeg and today it was 20C!
Hey ergoproxy! Hey paperheart!
Ph how are you.
Hello Martha!
Hey ergo and paperheart!
I wonder about a new post too.
And what it's about that may upset us.
paperheartxx
Alberta. Where it was 20+ yesterday, until it snowed at 9:30 last night!
However, I can be forgiven for reminding myself that it's not so bad. They do call you guys Winterpeg, correct?
-Amyranth
Hello Mustard=]
I am alright Martha, definitely better then earlier today. How are you?
mustardisbetter said..
Well, since you are such a Zeppelin fan (as am I), Kapunua:
Have you seen the album Robert Plant has done with Alison Kraus? If you have heard any songs, will you tell me if they are any good (Who the hell am I kidding? It's Robert. Fucking. Plant. Of course it will be good, no matter if it sounds like shit.) So, could you tell me if the songs are good?
Wow,unfortunately I'venever even heard of that. Sounds interesting though!
sdock10 said...
K,
I am 33...OH MY GOD!! Where the fuck did the last 15 years go........33 better be a luck damn number cause right now it just feels old as fuck!
Nah, that's a GOOD age. Age islike an arbitrary system; I don'tgetit. It's all about what you'vedone, where you've been, whom you've affected, how you feel, and yeah, how you look. ^_^
followed by Bon Jovi/Skid Row...and so on and so on...
If you are in the NY area, we were probably at the same show. I saw Bon Jovi/Skid Row on that tour,too. O_O

Can I come as Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas?
I cosplayedher every Halloween for about six years. ^_^ Made the costume myself. Troofax.
gnothi seauton said...
Nope :)
I'm off as well because as my beloved Bertie would say...
Man, we soneed to call him out. ^_^

If they are "bj fans" they'll probably be down with that. ;D
Hey, did anyone else effing LOVE Queensryche by any chance?
Hey, Martha. I'm...awake and breathing so I guess...good. :)
You?
Ok, the Duran Duran (the band so nice they named it twice) comments finally drew me out. My college roommate actually had a passing acquaintance with John and she had all these candid pictures of him. She said he was sweet as pie. God, I was jealous. And on another note, I obviously don't comment here much (or) at all, but I really really enjoy all your "company," and the level of intelligence here has gone a long way in restoring my faith in the human race.
I'm okay I'm watching ugly Betty right now.
:O My dads working in Alberta right now! I haven't talked to him in about a week soo..
HAHA yes, Winnipeg is referred to as Winterpeg!:P
The coldest I've seen has probably been -54C with the windchill!
My mom LOVES Ugly Betty! &people tell my sister she looks like America Ferrerra! (sp)
hi Carrie how are you nice of you to join us tonight.
K,
saw operation mindcrime live and it blew me away. Geoff Tate kicks f'n ass
-VM
Mayo, and everyone else, I went as a kitchen utensil ninja to the Samhain Costume party. I am full of coffee and it was rad,
Tink
I just got into Ugly Betty this season. I saw some of the reruns.
*Sits back and watches you all say "WTF" to yourselves collectively*
Tink
I, myself, am not really an Ugly Betty fan. I was at first, but then I sort of strayed away from it!
Tink - - what's a 'Samhain Costume party' ?
=]
hello carrie -- i'm afraid if i had known you and your friend, i would have glomped her hard and clung like a limpet.
a crazed durannie is never a pretty thing.
VM said...

You = lucky. He's got an incredible voice.
Okay and watching Ugly Betty. Good to know you are Breathing Air.
Nice to hear from you Think. That sounds like a nice costume.
“MarthaJones said...
I'm okay I'm watching ugly Betty right now.”
Hmm.. That was on a few hours ago here. I won’t say anything other than it’s a good show. I’m very “Betty” myself.
Samhain is the Pagan New Year. It's where Halloween comes from.
Tink
Hi marthajones, I'm fine, guess I'm just ready to come out of my shell. I love your screen name, took me awhile to figure it out though, I just finally started watching Dr. Who, after my Dad had been after me to check it out. My 9 year old daughter is a freak for it and can't wait for the Christmas special, mainly because she's obsessed with the Titanic. And I bet she's one of the few 9 year olds on the planet who knows the words to You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison. But she still yells "La, la La" over all the fucks in the other songs, cracks me up. I also have a 15 year old daughter, who I think is still pissed at me because I became obsessed with MCR and thus sucked all the cool out of them.
Hello Carrie!
I don't think I've ever had the chance to talk to you. =]
Ahh thank you for that info Tink! =]
paperheartxx said...
Tink - - what's a 'Samhain Costume party' ?
more like -- wtf is a "kitchen utensil ninja"?
:)
The whole thing confused me Toujours!
XD
Yes TJ a crazy Duran fan girl can be a scary thing.
Kapunua I loved you comment back about the "bj" fans. But I really hope to do treat our boys right.
Hello Carrie, nice of you to come out of the shadows.
Hey Tink,sounds like a good costume idea.
Aip I'm a Betty myself too.
Carrie I can't wait for the Christmas special either.
I would think that a kitchen utensil ninja would use spoons and forks as throwing stars.
Hi to everyone who greeted me, you guys are so friendly, don't know why I was such a chicken about posting.
a.i.p. -- i'll look forward to it. ^.^
Awwh Carrie; we'll love you no matter what, and accept you with open arms=] *hug*
Haha, now since I have to go to school tomorrow, I should go to bed=]
I hope to talk to Everyone tomorrow!
Love
-007
I can understand being scared to post I was at first and still am sometimes. Not sure what to comment or it I understood Mayo's blog correctly. Can you say chicken.
Night PH have sweet dreams.
#3
P.S. Mayo, want to PLEASE hold off on the new blog till I'm back? I'm always the last to read it and put my 2 cents into it!=[ *hugs*
Goodnight Paperheart.
Sleep well.
night paperheartxx -- we'll fill you in if anything happens. ;D
Haha thanks guys!
I said this is BC's blog, but my email is posted on my profile if anyone wants to talk or anything=]
Goodnight!
*hug*
*sneaks up behind Carrie*
Boo!
I'm mostly evil so don't expect much else.
Yeah, as far as the Mayo thing goes, I guess I got drawn here because I'm a little bit of an aging fangirl (ok, I'll cop to it, I'm 40 and have an MCR poster on my wall). But, who the guy/girl is writing this blog really no longer matters to me, I just really enjoy reading what the people who come here have to say. I'm not really that big into the whole internet culture, this is the first place where I've felt compelled to check out what's going on day to day and I really care about the people who post. I've laughed out loud at some of the comments, and I've teared up at some of the secrets that people have shared. And I do so enjoy the kickball games. :)
Well I have a big day of working and going shopping tomorrow So I shell be heading off to dream land.
Later.
Goodnight MJ, and IP, you scared the crap out of me!
Goodnight Martha!
Talk to you tomorrow.
G'night Martha
Woo hoo to FAngirls who are 30+ I don't have posters but I was buying the magazines I wanted the one of FRank with his dog but it sold out.
hello agin
I'm well for everyone who asked.
Carrie - about yourself, I'll just say "snap" ditto for me
night martha
Once again Gnight. this time for real unless mayo posts a blog in the next 10 minutes.
night martha!
MJ I have the Frank one and the Ray one, though I get kerrang about 2 months late
Hi ergo, yeah, I don't know what it is about this band. I haven't felt this way about someone since my room was filled with Shaun Cassidy posters (my Mom said his eyes followed her when she cleaned my room). And even more sad, his was the first concert I ever went to. :)
Hi Carrie,
Just wanted to let you know I will be 40 in about 3 months, and I also have an MCR poster on my wall (autographed, I am so fortunate). I am also not big into the whole internet thing. But, this is a good group of people.
By the way, glag that you joined in.
-VM
that is glad, not glag. I gotta get some sleep.
Night all!
-VM
Hi Vm, 40 isn't so bad, it's the new 30 for trees or something like that. I had these big elaborate plans for my birthday that included one of my best friends from out of town coming to visit and I was going to make her watch the LOTMS dvd, which was my birthday present to myself. But then, two weeks before my birthday, my frickin' back went out, and I spent the night hopped up on pain pills (but I still watched the dvd, just tortured my poor long-suffering husband instead). And I don't know what the point of this is. No, I take that back. 40 IS bad. I do kind of feel like the wheels fell off when I reached that milestone. But yet, I am still a 16 year old inside my head. How does that happen?
And goodnight, VM.
forgive me all, but i can't keep this to myself any longer --
tbp non sequitur: if you whistle along to "blood", it sounds like a disney song.
it's true. discovered this for myself just today.
Carrie,
I have no clue where the time has gone.
I do not mind at all turning 40. My husband, who just turned 36, likes to give me shit about it. But I do have to say this...I know myself better now than I ever have before. I do not give a shit about what anyone else thinks, and I love that part! As corny as this sounds, I really like who I am.
-VM, night for real this time.
carrie if you figure out how it happens let me know.
My God VM my hubby is the same age gap!!
This is spooky...
and Shaun Cassidy....I actually preferred David, and still do. Or Davey Jones, though he didn't age well
Goodnight VM.
Ergo, Davey Jones is definitely starting to look like a caricature of himself. Too much of the plastique. Sometimes I feel bad for celebrities because they feel compelled to stay "young" although everyone knows it's not real. Heck, my Mom (who just turned 63 and in my opinion is well preserved) got Botox, and in my opinion, it made her look like a bat. Even my kids noticed-what's wrong with Bobba's face? :)
This is the best review of the Maxwell's show I've read, I so wish I could have been there.
http://endingparalysis.livejournal.com/6861.html#cutid1
aw Carrie like a bat! damn.
I don't like the idea of fighting it, though I don't really "look" my age, so perhaps if I looked worse I may do something, but I find the whole idea a bit scary, stuff that can go wrong etc.
I think I'll just go with the flow, a lot comes from the inside, no matter how the outside looks.
I'll read that review then I have to go and do some housework
bye!
i was just over at lj doing the same thing! i haven't got to that one yet, though.
but in the comments to another recap, the author had this to say (and it's too cute not to share):
Also, Gerard asked the band if they were ready for another song, and everyone was just like "yup." but Ray said something like "I sure am!"
^.^
Haha,Ray is hilarious.
i just finished reading the endingparalysis review of the maxwell's show, and well...i can't really think of anything to say except...
oh man.
just, wow.
Here is a video of Maxwells:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__qzXBk1g0
I know toujours,it's pretty great.
And that video,just feeds my jealousy.
And that video,just feeds my jealousy.
and that is precisely why i am not watching it tonight. i'm green enough as it is!
i'm so glad there's going to be a live dvd, though. that makes me very, very happy. ^.^
I can't wait until that DVD comes out.
What kind of sucks though, is that that is probably all that would be on the DVD.Just performances,nothing like LOTMS.
yeah, lotms is truly great. but this dvd will be fantastic, too, and you know it! :)
actually, i'm hoping they'll include the tbp music videos. i never get to see them anymore because of tired ol' dial-up. it takes so long to load them. i haven't seen wttbp for forever it seems, and at one point i had to see it every morning with my coffee or the day just didn't go right. lol
Haha,Yes I do know it!
Do you get Fuse?
It's a music channel that is way better than any of it's competitions.
But MCR videos are constantly one there.Constantly.
i don't get fuse. :(
though i've seen the different interviews on youtube, of course. no, i'm left with nothing but mtv (ew), and that last music vid show with gerard reminded me quite forcibly why i rarely watch that channel anymore.
commercials, commercials, commercials, and then they can't even air the actual program properly!
um...mini-rant! lol
Aw, that sucks,I feel for you.
I hate MTV. They dont show any music videos and when they do,it's censored. They censored shirt,and other things I don't remember but I know I thought'thats insane,on Teenagers.
But fuse didn't,I love fuse:)
another video of maxwell's - god I'm so jealous
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbQyLLbR3eU
I saw that when I saw the other video.
well, i've survived so far! lol
one day i'll get fuse, though -- that would be nice. *sigh*
i'm afraid right now, however, i need to toddle off to bed. it doesn't look like we'll get an entry this time -- no surprise, really, when you think about it, considering the concert -- so i may actually be able to get a full night's sleep! O_O
talk to you later, entropy! have a good day and/or night!
good night mayo -- hope the concert was fantastic!
Goodnight toujours!
Sleep well and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Im heading off to bed too Mayo.
So goodnight! Hope you had a great night tonight and all is well with you.
Almost 2:30 in the morning all is quiet. Here I sit at the computer contemplating the meaning of life. Yeah its 42. (anyone get that?)
Hope you are all good Mayo.
I'm getting all melancholy and not sure why. So goodnight empty place. Goodnight all my friends. Goodbye.
Every time I pop on here, it's always everybody's bed time :P.
Never mind that, I read some of the posts on here...
- I like the new song (well, what I heard of it anyways).
-Happy Birthday Kapunua
-Australia don't get fuse. We get shitty music channels instead which find it fun to include High School Musical 2 songs in their countdowns. Sure, High School Musical seems to make a lot of kids happy, but to me, it is a pretty shit movie.
That's all I have read about, but I hope everyone who is sleeping is having a good night's sleep.
hey yeh me too black flag!! i usually arrive to see that elena and toujours are off to bed and you and ergoproxy have been around a bit and then....nothing!!
story of my life, always a bit out of the loop. not to worry i'm off to read those reviews and watch the you tube link, hurray!
oh fuck sorry black jacket i called you black flag! sorry! easy mistake to make though hey??!!
oh yeh and sorry, entropy you're usually around too. i will try not to get your name wrong too! i am crap!
Okay, I know no one is here, but I was catching up on posts, (gotta do something while I'm in New Orleans waiting to see Smashing Pumpkins Saturday night!) and I saw all the Duran Duran comments. I too, was a hardcore Durannie. They were my first concert in 1984, and I've seen them 8 times. I met them in 2004 and they were fantastic. Well, except for Andy, but that was right before he left again.
I had frosted hair in honor of John circa 1984, then took a step backward and had burgundy hair circa 1982.
I also had the brown tweed coat and RED gloves ala John in New Moon On Monday.
The connection between Duran fans and MCR fans is fascinating to me, but it makes sense.
My attachment to MCR is stronger though, because they are the first band who I felt like I could relate to and identify with. I wanted to make out with Simon LeBon, but I want to hang out, drink coffee and smoke cigarettes with Gerard, I want to watch Frank play the guitar. (okay, so maybe I'd want to make out with Frank, but that's neither here nor there), I want to watch Ray and Bob play Guiitar Hero, and I want to talk about Anthrax with Mikey.
I just genuinely like them as people, even though I don't know them in real life.
Did that make sense?
I hope so. I spent 7 hours in an airport, flew for 2 and 1/2 and can't sleep cause my hotel is on Bourbon Street, and yeah, well, it's on Bourbon Street.
Talk to all you groovy people tomorrow!
farawaysoclose you are never really alone here. Our love and good feelings are always still present. I just finished watching a terrible bad horror movie about a rock group making a video. It was so bad it was good. I love bad horror movies. Anyway I must try to sleep now. I have to get up in two hours to start another day. Peace to you.
thank you elena.
sleep well for that whole 2 hours! god you are gonna feel crap when you wake up! night night. (its 9.06am in the uk.)
Hell I am still here. I can't sleep. Usually I sleep 3 hours a night but tonight sleep won't come. I'm on edge but I don't know why.
poor you elena! i feel so sick when i don't get enough sleep. i normally get about 5-6 hrs mainly cos i'm a bit of an insomniac and i have young kids that get up early. but an average of 3 hrs a night is horrible!! take care anyway and hope you make it through your day without dozing off!
Hello farawaysoclose, toujours, star and to everyone who is here!
star: NEVER stay at a hotel on Bourbon Street if you want to sleep. Tis nearly impossible, at least until sunrise!
The Dungeon is having their Halloween party tonight. Enter at your own risk *wink* and costume is required!
If you want to hear a great 70s/80s cover band, head out to The Famous Door. It's on Bourbon Street. You can't miss it. They'll be rocking!!!!
Sorry elena! Hello to you as well!
I leave and I miss a whole Duran Duran conversation!!!!!
All I saw was Frank could be Warren and Frank, like Nick looks better with make up than most people and I KNEW right away I missed me some Duranie-talk. :(
Meh, Farawaysoclose, it don't mind if you call me Black Flag or Black Jacket... both are good things :D.
Elena - 42!HHGTTG
Toujurs - you read my mind. Totally know what Samhain is just a bit confused by the kitchen utensil ninja!!! WTF!
gnothi seauton - Ding Ding you win the prize for knowing 42 is of course the answer to the meaning of life. Gotta jet off to work. Will pop in later. Everyone have a beautiful day. Crap I'm chipper, must be the lack of sleep.
Hey Mayo;
Hey everyone;
I'm just popping in to say hello before I have to go. I probably won't be on till later tonight (midnight; going to a Halloween party=]) I hope everyone has an amazing day!
*hugs*
Love;

To all you Aussie bloggers,
Just wanted to let you know that MSI will be touring Australia in February /March in the Soundwave festival with bands like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Saosin, Kill Switch Engage, etc, just to many to list.
Guess it's our turn to experience their "music".
Hi Carrie and Welcome!
I too am a 40+ (42) year old MCR fan. I live vicariously through my 13 year old son rocking out to MCR. He thinks its cool; I actually turned him on to them. I am sure alot of his friends think I am out of my mind as well as their parents. Everyone here (Louisiana) is so conservative about music. I love them and have been a fan for 3 years. I buy the mcr parafanellia for my son and gaze at it while he is at school. Sad I know!!! They make me feel young again. I laughed my ass off with statement "sucked the coolness out of mcr." Priceless.
MCR is not just for kids. The 40 fan base is growing fast!!
Oh and yes 40 is the new 30, but better. I have never felt so alive and young. I am divorced and the guys that ask me out are in their late 20's (I am an uber cougar). I can't snag a 40 year old to save my life. But oh well I am not interested in getting married ever again. So lets just all have a good time.
Take care all
:The Dungeon is having their Halloween party tonight. Enter at your own risk *wink* and costume is required!"

Nice choice…
The 40 year old MCR fanbase is surely huge, i know alot of people in that age range who are just obsessed as a 15 year old would be.
I find that really awesome, that someone that age admits to liking bands like My Chem when most adults would find it disturbng XD
I have to say, the videos of the Maxwell, wow, such lucky bastards those people are. And the reviews are just amazing.
I think i watched the I Dont Love You one a million times, the crowd is just fantastic.
So many of you mention age that it got me thinking… (warning to ignore if you don’t know me, my thoughts are generally offensive.)
The members of the band are closer in age to those 40 year olds than they are to the young teens. I know from experience that many of the teenagers don’t even get the true point of the lyrics unless it’s explained to them. I appreciate the fact that MCR don’t make songs to simply bop your head to. There are bits of shared experience they willingly offer up hoping to leave a message with people of all ages. Older fans are their peers…
That being over-said (I do that) I am older and have my own teenager. He’s also a huge fan but only really cares about what Ray does. According to him, he’s God-like. I’m glad we have something in common.
Depends on the teenager itself. True, their are the teenagers that dont even bother to understand the pure meaning behind a song but then their are many teenagers who believe the meaning is the most important aspect.
Whenever i listen to a song by MCR, or any other artist for that matter, i try to conjure up the meaning becuase it makes listening to it more enjoyable. Probably the reason why i can connect with them so much is because i experienced 9/11 firsthand, and knowing that band evolved form that made me love them.
But people in their age range probably connect with them more
The music of MCR touches people from all age groups. That is their true gift. I'm in my 40's and put up with a lot of shit from people my age who refuse to look beyond their appearence. They are blinded to the fact that the music is what my love for them is based on. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie they are easy on the eye but there are so many artists that fit that catagory. The music, the message, it's what draw me to them.
G'morning everyone!
Yeah....I get a lot of people laughing at me for what I'm into because it's older than I am. Bauhaus, Joy Division, Siouxsie, The Cure...Older stuff. It's a hardcore scene here though, so my love of Black Flag and Minor Threat and Bad Brains is generally praised.
Hi, Guys! I just dropped in for a minute. I'm sure I missed something exciting in my absence.
Elena, I know how you feel about other people in our age bracket thinking you're nuts for liking this band. One of my friends can't ever remember their name so he calls them "The Hyperdermic Needles".
As much as I'd like, I can't stay. I am going to pick my car up from the shop - finally!
They cancelled the Maine show.
What the fuck is wrong now?
Is there a video of the Maxwell's show?
BTW, I've been thinking...
I think we really should make up some T-shirts for ourselves. On the front, we could have a jar of mayonnaise, but with a door, like it is a building and the words, "MAYO CLINIC". and then on the back, "Home of Fuck Fest 2007".
Of course we would wear them to any MCR shows - and then we could recognize each other. That would be cool!
OK, I just watched the "I don't love you video on youtube. Gerard did that little Elvis lip curl thing he does in the beginning.
Looks like a great show. Yeah, I'm jealous too.
wait what? They didnt cancel any shows so i have no idea where you heard that

forgive me all, but i can't keep this to myself any longer --
tbp non sequitur: if you whistle along to "blood", it sounds like a disney song.
it's true. discovered this for myself just today.

HaHa! That is funny! I always start singing the Oscar Meyer Weiner song along with it - it fits! Pisses my daughter off!
Where did you hear they canceled the show?
gerard had something written on his arm last night. does anyone know what it said.
Maine wasn't cancelled. Don't make up shit, geek wad.
"Ok, so this is the second time you have called off a show in maine..."
"why did you cancel the show on the 27th?
I heard someone got hurt..."
"We hear it's been cancelled, just an hour ago."
Geek wad?
Real mature.
Making up LIES just to start RUMOURS is immature, geek.
I didn't say that shit,I'm just repeating what people have said.
Calling people names is immature.
You repeated it as FACT. There's a difference between:
"They cancelled the Maine show."
and
"Someone just rumoured that the Maine show is cancelled."
That's how rumours get started, fan girl.
What the hell, why are you people fighting. Both of you are immature end of story.
So the whole Maine thing, does anyone have things the Band has said, not comments people have left on their myspace because thats not proof. Like an actual statement from the band that its canceled.
-Gel
Hey, if you don't want to belive it,fine by me. I was just letting these people know what I've read.
No, Gel, that's why it's called a RUMOUR.
Yes i know its rumour but its not like a couple of people are just going to pull shit out of their ass, it must have came from somewhere and thats what im asking for.
But yet again, people do like pulling shit out of their asses
-Gel
Just a quick hello.
Evening Mayo.
Yep, 38 here. Listen to eveything.
I live in quite a Goth/ Punk / Rock stronghold, can't move in town for black!
Know a lot of ' oldies ' with similar tastes and am considered by my daughter's friends to be uber cool, as I know who they all talk about and we all discuss which bands to go and see.
Might catch you all later, I'm off out.
Paperheart, have a great time!
Lolita Haze, love the music taste.
AIP, I'll see your eyebrow and raise you a smirk.

AIP you like my costume choice? Thank you much. Oh did I mention the black leather bustier and knee high boots. Oh yeah its on tonight. New Orlean's Halloween is the shit! I never miss it.
to the anon at 11.55am
gerard had "anytime you want" written on his left fore arm last night. he's had that one before i think in response to lyn z's "run away with me".
where the fuck are they running to????

So, if someone is having "medical issues" then why aren't they canceling the show with Bon Jovi tonight?
This band makes no sense at all anymore.
The Bon Jovi concert is important, and big, they couldnt cancel that one.
Either a member is sick or all this performing is making them sick and tired and they cant handle it. But we'll see. Truthfully, a lot of bands do this, so its nothing to get your undies in a twist over
but i feel sorry for Maine since its happened twice to them already
Gel
Good evening Mayo.
Good evening everyone here present.
In this weeks' kerrang there is a review of an MSI gig.
All you people who didn't like the thought of them getting exposure because of the "marriage" look away now.
They are referring to the band as Mrs Gerard Way & co. They call Lynz Mrs Gerard Way all the time, they only call her her real name once.
All this performing?
They've just had almost 2 months off.
It has to be somone sick,but then,that wouldn't expalin why they can play today.
I heard it's Bob.
It isn't Bob, it's Gerard.
Been a couple of days, but I'm baaaaaack!! Did anyone miss me? :D
**cricket sounds**
Okay, so you guys were discussing music...
I liked Duran Duran for a little while, before I got into Motley Crue & "Shout At The Devil". (I was 12 in 1983.) After I heard that, it was 80's metal & hair bands all the way. I also like old Cure, Siouxsie, the Sex Pistols, Bauhaus, NIN, Coal Chamber, and about a zillion other bands. One of my newer faves is London After Midnight, they're pretty incredible. Also a lot of indie stuff, because of my damn musician friends. What can I say, I have the whole goth/glam fetish goin' on. ^_~
My turn to rant about the MCR/MSI thing. I agree with Kapunua 100%. Gerard spoke so often and so repeatedly about MCR's message, and about how they didn't want to be like so many 'shitty-ass 80's bands'. Said 80's bands may be meatheads, but they don't pretend to be anything else. MSI likes to pretend that they mean something, when they don't -- all they demonstrate (IMO, anyway) is an amaaaaazing lack of talent. Bands like MSI are not new, they're not different, and (again, IMHO) they don't have anything worthy to say. For MCR to be taking MSI on tour after Gerard spoke so hard against bands with the same image & meaning is just plain hypocritical. If I was forced to draw a comparison, I'd say it would be like Gerard preaching against Catholicism after he married the Pope. Maybe his wife didn't write MSI's lyrics (TBH, I doubt she'd be smart enough), but she plays in that band, so she obviously doesn't have the same so-called 'message'.
As much as I love MCR, Gerard seems to have changed his mind about a rather large number of things over the last year. Yes, people change, but our moral & ethical codes are hard-wired, for the most part. If you're a hardcore vegetarian and you marry an omnivore, do you all of a sudden tell people that meat is great? No. So why should Gerard be any different? And if the other guys don't agree, why have they gone along with it? Is Gerard such a whiny little diva that people will go along with his wishes at any cost, just so he won't get pissed off??? (And lemme just say that if he is, Anon @ 5:28 PM yesterday's little scenario may be played out in the form of a serious ass-kicking! The man could stand to be taught a couple of things, really.)
As for the Maxwell's review, it was really nice to read. It'd be nice to read a review from someone older and less likely to squee quite so much, but hey - positive is positive, right?
Back to work for me, and please don't tell Dr. Nut I found the footballs! (Just explaining why I might be running a curve pattern on the kickball field later. ^_~ )
Well, Kerrang is a bullshit magazine so im not surprised. Its not Gerard's fault though, that people cant realize Gerard and Lyn-z are two separate fucking entities and even though their married doesnt mean they are attached in every way possible.
The media fucking pisses me off, their only doing it to get more money.
So how do we know who's sick?
Hi guys!
anon, how do you know it's Gerard the one who's sick or hurt?
I just thought I'd share that with people to see what they thought.
I know how you all like to know what's going on.
Haha, i sound pretty pissed in my post but seriously, the media needs to fucking stop with all its bullshit. Goddamit
Do i think Gerard is a hypocritical lier? Fuck yeah i do.
Same can be said for Ray, Mikey, Frank and Bob and basically every other person on the face of the earth because I've learned to realize every human being is a hypocritical lier, and its nothing we can change. Yes our moral and ethical codes are hard- wired, but things like these we can never avoid even through vigorous tries.
What im trying to basically say is that whats going on doesnt shock me or bother me at all. I havent lost any respect or love for this band because growing up i realized that all people are like this, and it shouldnt come as a suprise what people do.
Life is fucked up and so are the people in it.

*looks for bowl of footballs*
Anyone seen Sister Midnite?
Now where did I put that bowl....
The term 'medical issue' is perhaps slightly misleading but I guess it is fair to say that, to a certain extent, it is not completely untrue.
