A bit of coverage on The Umbrella Academy and it’s upcoming sequel right here.

Mh, and then there’s….this picture….0.0 <3

Here’s some photos by Rich Gaccione (website, flickr) of the Leathermouth/Reggie and the Full Effect show at the House of Blues in Chicago as posted by My Chemical Freak.

According to ‘The Gauntlet’, Mikey is going to be writing an eight page story, for one of DC Comic’s existing titles. However, we haven’t seen ANYTHING about this, anywhere, so for now I’m filing this under rumors.

Gabriel Ba, the artist of The Umbrella Academy, has been nominated for a Harvey! Good luck man!
A new review for TUA has surfaced, straight up. 

Oh and, just because I was bored…

If you’ve emailed me at johnnie@ and haven’t heard back, try replacing “johnnie” with “mail” and I should get it since that one’s not spammed and is for general use. I guess this is the price for having a highly accessible email address.

I’m going to look into seeing if I can block spam from it somehow, so no guarantees. Sorry to those of you who have emailed me. I’m going to try and get back to you this weekend!

And a random photo as an apology to those of you whom this doesn’t affect

Hambone (yes, THAT Hambone!) has been posting tour diaries over at the Brine and Bastards MySpace. Brine and Bastards is his band (punk pirates, anyone?) and they’re pretty spiffy. Oh, and Hambone’s a pretty funny dude, too

Sorry for the lack of Mikey info and photos. I was hoping he’d be at Dragoncon, too, but I’ve only seen one report of him being out with Gerard at a restaurant. Perhaps he had another agenda, or nobody noticed him. Oh, well, it’s all said and done now I suppose. Here’s some more of Johnnie’s Random Photos.

Yeah, check that out. Gerard’s in Kerrang! and I have to say that’s a fantastic photo. Credits to My Chemical Freak.

Here’s a set of photos posted by My Chemical Freak (credits to Fiona) of the Leathermouth show at Bottom of the Hill.

The first says, ‘Kill ‘em All’, with the silhouette of a basketball player. (photog unknown)
In the second, it says ‘Reggie’. (photo by Ashley, thanks for letting me know!)

Mh, and we don’t know who’s photo’s these are, so if they’re yours, let us know so we can credit you.

Gerard is one of MSNBC’s ‘50 Rockers Who Should Direct Movies’ list.
Plus, You can VOTE!
Right now he’s second only to Trent Reznor, come on guy’s, let’s give him the MikeyWayOnline boost!

There’s a My Chem mention in this video, some college humor thing, pretty funny actually.
Be forewarned, strong language.

Oh and just a reminder, the official My Chemical Romance store has like, a bunch of OLD t-shirts, for only $9.99. I believe they’re running out too, so buy ‘em quick.

I’m not sure when, but Alice Cooper complimented My Chem in an issue of Kerrang!. It’s pretty sweeet.

When asked “How do you manage to attract new fans after more than 30 years?” He answered:
“You know, I think it’s just because of the strength of the songs that Alice Cooper has. I see kids nowadays that are more into classic rock than their own generation, and I think it’s because band’s nowadays don’t write those classics. There isn’t a new ‘Smoke On The Water,’ or even a new ‘School’s Out.’ The only band’s that have come close in my opinion are band’s like The White Stripe’s and My Chemical Romance.”

You guys opened for My Chemical Romance a few years back, and it’s in the U.K. right now that their music is under fire for supposedly provoking a fan to commit suicide. Do you have any comments about that?

It’s a terrible thing that happened, and the same thing happened with Judas Priest in the ’80s. They got blamed because a couple of kids made a suicide pact and shot themselves. People blaming music and art for someone’s demise is an awful thing, and I think if anything, My Chemical Romance kept that young lady alive because she loved that band and turned to their music in her darkest times. I think that people don’t kill themselves because of a band they like, they kill themselves because of something else. My Chem has dark lyrics and themes, but they’re also fun, and they have hope in their songs. They’re anthemic in celebrating the darkness. They’re saying that it’s OK, we’re all pretty fucked up, but we’re all here for each other. So I think it’s an awful thing that happened to that young lady, and I think it’s awful that My Chem is getting blamed for it because I’m sure it’s not easy for them.

Gigwise.com has a new ‘Top 50′ list, this time it’s ‘When Gigs Go Wrong: 50 Disastrous Live Shows’. They’ve listed My Chem as number 10, for Download Festival, June 2007.
Something good did come out of this article though, a rather entertaining quote of Gerard’s has resurfaced:
“This song is called ‘thanks for all the bottles, thanks for all the piss, thanks for all the golf balls, thanks for all the apples and thanks for all the sticky shit’”.

The Cure’s remix album is titled ‘Hypnagogic States’, if everyone remembers correctly, this album will include a remix by Gerard. Also joining him on the album is Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars, Jade Pudget of AFI, and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump. The album, 4:13 Dream, is due out sometime in October.

A few mentions of TUA and it’s upcoming sequel.
Geeky Librarian say that Gerard’s take on ’superhero comics (or is that dysfunctional family stories)’ is ‘easily the most enjoyable comic last year’.
Good Comics gives us a little tidbit about the next TUA series. [Out November 26].
There’s also this, a little summary of the upcoming series, plus a pretty cool photo, Sex Pistols style.

Oh hey, check out this awesome Umbrella Academy….umbrella. I’ve gotta get one those, even though it like, never rains in Arizona.

A review of the Nevada Leathermouth show on Friday has surfaced. It’s not very complimentary of them, apparently Frank ripped his glasses apart with his teeth…? Tbh, I say right on to that. However, the review does seem to end on a good, albeit painful note.

Just a little tidbit, Junk Online has a small article covering Gerard’s new hair, along with a coolzies timeline of pictures following his many hair colors in the past.

And as a nice little finisher…
