For anyone else interested, and those who don't go through our little chatbox, the link for the video where Gerard says "if we never play another show again... keep yourself alive" is right here.

And here is an article [sort of] of people defending My Chem after the recent accusation that they were at fault for a thirteen-year-old's suicide.
Time For Something Bibical said: "My heart goes out to her family, but you don't get 'sucidial' just solely by listening to 'emo' music, there are always deeper reasons and connections.

On a side note, does anyone else completely hate what they named that article?

Remember awhile back when it was mentioned that Emily the Strange would be interviewing Gerard Way? Whether or not you actually remember, smile and nod, and check out these scans that MySpace Comic Books posted up. Who else thinks Gerard just belongs in her comic?? I do. They are absolutely adorable together in ink! Thanks to Betheny. Have a nice day, as well, sweetie

A 13-year-old girl committed suicide and guess who is to blame. If you guessed My Chemical Romance, then you are correct! Whoot! Check out the outrageous article here. I feel bad the poor girl killed herself, but the blame should be on the people who knew she was cutting herself. That's not normal, nor is it healthy. Metal Hammer posted on it, as well, however, with a lot more common sense, even ending their article as such: Still, don't let a few factual inaccuracies get in the way of a sensationalist story, eh? Rock on, Metal Hammer.

Remember my little review of the St. Louis show and Gerard was having issues with the zipper in his new pants? Yeah. That. Someone managed to get that recorded. Have fun lol.

I've been trying to add new videos for you bunnies but apparently my FTP has a broken pipe. FTP is the little program that I use to upload files to the site (there's no easy uploader for this thing!), so I don't know what a 'broken pipe' is supposed to be. So. Right. There goes my self-esteem in computer knowledge. Anyhow, I have My Chemical Romance's spot on SNL in 2006 in HD (yeah...not just HQ, but HD!), and "Song 2" and "I Don't Love You" as performed in Taratata in HQ as well. Oh, yeah, I also have a couple of MP3s to upload. However, my FTP apparently has a broken pipe. Will get back to you on those uploads, though.

Hats off to Lauren for offering some assistance with my...WordPress stupidity....I suppose it should be called lol. It's finished...minus a few details, ya know, like a design that works in IE and the navigation pages (e.g. Mikey, Media, etc.) are missing...their links... o.O Oh, laugh if you must. Haha.

Alright. It's 5am, I have lab at 9am, I still need to do tutorials, and when I'm this off center, I shouldn't be allowed on the Internet. Kathleen! I need that straight jacket back, love.

I haven't had a chance to check this video out yet, but it's a recording of today's The Sauce.

Click here for YouTube video.

Mkay... First things first!

There is a new interview that has surfaced featuring Mikey and Gerard. You can find said interview here!

And second off...
For those of you who get the channel Fuse, apparently Steven and Jared have said that My Chemical Romance will be on The Sauce tomorrow. The show starts at six PM EST. [Check your local listings.]

And third off...
Well, there is no third off, so have a nice evening/morning/afternoon/whenever you are reading this. =D

I'm amused. This isn't totally MCR-related, but I was amused nonetheless.

Who woulda thought My Chemical Romance would be setting fashion trends?

Criminal Damage Black And Silver Grid Jacket
Tripp Black And White Strap Jacket
Tripp Black And White Grommet Strap Vest
Tripp Black Velour Banded Military Long Jacket

Now, I don't know that they were necessarily inspired by My Chemical Romance, but they are reminiscent of The Black Parade marching band (or, military as credited in some places) style.

P.S. Very expensive crap. Wish I had money lol.

Be careful when preordering The Black Parade Is Dead!. It'll overcharge your account if you enter your billing details incorrectly or something else that would make you hit the charge button more than once. Please contact Warner immediately.

There's also a few new tees in the Official Store.

Message from Mikeyway.
Hey Guys and Gals,

Mikeyway

WordPress shall be up sooner than later I'm also looking for a way to rip that Bamboozle interview with Mikey so I might be able to get that up at some point. I've also got a couple of HQ vids to put up later. So...hopefully we'll be able to keep this site alive for the next two years, yeah?

I have no idea what got into those guys, but My Chemical Romance was insane in St. Louis. There was a small smattering of Frerard, too.

Highlights:
- Frank grabbed the harmonica player's crotch.
- Gerard ruffled Frank's hair once, and was a little too friendly with him at times ;)
- Frank and Ray continued to nuzzle faces.
- Gerard did his classic 'suck' on the microphone...however it was in Mikey's face.
- At the end, Bob went freaking insane and all you could see was him headbanging and playing drums at the same time.
- Bob played "Fallen Leaves" with Billy Talent
- Ray was blowing his hair out of his face.
- Gerard just bought new pants and the fly wouldn't stay zipped, so it was down most of the show and he made a running joke of it.
- Gerard was insanely tempted by the bright red, fluffy boa I had. Every time he came over, I shook it around, and he stayed there and watched it haha. When I finally threw it at the beginning of "Prison", he missed it and threw this little dance/temper tantrum over missing it and picked it up.
- Bob did something (don't know what) that made the rest of the guys all turn around in a line with their backs to us and stare at him, which prompted Bob to give them the finger as he played the beginning of "Famous Last Words". I think he was goofing off with James and missed the intro or something silly.
- People started doing the "M-C-R" during James' piano solo, which I found extremely rude. So, if you were there and heard someone in the front yell, "Yeah, James!" or something, then that was me. It was a LOT shorter than the one he did in Birmingham and I think it was because of the response he was getting, and his entire family was there to see the crowd be so rude. Grow up, kids.
- Matt Cortez was milling around and did some jamming on the guitars. Sweeeet
- I bawled during "Desert Song"
- Gerard's fly was seriously having issues.
- Ray was on an invisible pogo stick at one point and was bouncing up and down so much he about ran right into Gerard.
- At one point, Gerard about got smashed between Frank and Ray who were being insane.

So, I finally heard it myself. Gerard announced they will, in fact, be taking a two-year break. I heard this with my own ears so believe it. I have a hard time believing they'll actually be away for two years, but they deserve a break so badly.

After the show, I met Frankie. Whoot! Got my ticket and Jenny's setlist from Alabama signed. I also got a very warm, cheek-to-cheek hug with him. And if anybody wants to argue, five-foot-five is too tall for Frank. I'm five-three and he was hardly taller than I. He's also now aware of the motion graphics project I'm doing on Skeleton Crew Records and will be sending him when it's finished.

My cheek is still warm.

Oh, and I got a "Mikey Fuckin Way" shirt, and that stupid Iron Maiden-inspired one, because it's cool. I don't know where I'll wear the MFW shirt, but, oh well. In most places, it's against dress code to wear it, but I will definitely wear it to concerts in the future, whether it's MCR or not lol. Also got my picture taken by the Skeleton Crew promotion kids since I had my Skeleton Crew hoodie on (which I was wearing when I met Frank lol).

Shout-out to the lovely ladies that put up with me in line: Deedee, one of the coolest moms ever--end of story. Stevie, who is ultimately awesome. Jamille and Stephanie, awesome girls, who let me put them on video for my project. Also, if you want to support a very heart-felt band, please check out Technicolor Aquahearts which was put together by a lady who's life was changed for the better thanks to My Chemical Romance. Cheers to the Finnish "Teenagers" cheerleaders, the ladies from England, Christina and her crew. Catherine, I hope you made it to Philly alright. You have my info if you need anything. If I missed someone...I just got home and haven't slept yet. Comment and yell at me lol.

Unfortunately, they were taking cameras again so I have no photos or anything. However, my mom was at the show and they didn't take anything in the back so she took some photos and video on her Palm Treo so I should be getting that next week.

Also, don't shove me and all of us up in front because we're over 21 and you're not. We got into the pit first because we all went through the Halo Bar and got let in earlier than everyone else. Get over it. I was in your place and I deserve to be up there now. You'll get your time. It's more expensive to do all-ages shows and more of an inconvenience to venues because of underage drinking and all sorts of bull. So, seriously, get over it. (end rant)

Kathleen, I am now in possession of part of your birthday present and there's nothing you can do about it.

And...I need to go to bed. In my MFW shirt. *snuggles in it* Miiiiikeyyyyy....... (lack of sleep)

Not much to post, but it is very much so Mikey related. So, it is worth an entire news post for just one link. =D

An interview with Mikey during Bamboozle Left can be seen right here.

Oh, and by the way... today was my eighteenth birthday. *throws confetti*
*music dies prematurely*

So, life sucks. Yeah, it really does. I'm giving up the Memphis concert due to conflicts with school. I feel like I need to mourn the loss. I really do. Also, at Birmingham, they were confiscating cameras. Or so they said. And then they didn't check on them, so I don't have ANY footage of Birmingham. If anybody finds any, please please please send them my way. It was amazing.

Jenny and I got to the Sloss Furnace around 10 or 11am, something like that. We ended up being two people deep from Ray. Drive By didn't really sit well with me. The bassist was cool, though. Billy Talent was insanely awesome. I was a fan of them before I knew they toured with MCR so that was special for me. The guitarist (flat-top hair dude, sorry don't know his name lol) had a "Mikey Fuckin'" something on. It wasn't the real shirt, though. It might have said "Mikey Fuckin' Frey" or something, but I saw a "rey" at the end. It definitely wasn't "Way". Interesting. And Mikey's tee is all in caps and says "MIKEY FUCKIN WAY" but this one was in lowercase.

My Chem was amazing. No video or photo or review could ever do those men justice. James Dewees is my hero. He is a complete madman on that piano. He was shaking the speakers just as loud as Bob. Bob is priceless with his one striped sock and one white sock and his green and white slipper shoes or whatever they were. And Ray is amazingly....everything. And Mikey is....phenominal. My first time seeing him live. I cried during Desert Song. And, if you're reading this: Carol, I sang Famous Last Words and I Don't Love You in your honor. I also dedicated my singing of Famous Last Words to Leenie. Kathleen, wish you would have been there. Gerard, unfortunately, was a bit ill. He made the audience sing a lot, and he recovered nicely from his voice breaking once or twice. He was absolutely amazing. Frank was a lot more mobile than I've heard. He came over to our side several times and, yes, nuzzled faces with Ray. That was way too cute. Bob and James were cracking each other up in the back. Gerard was constantly over on our side. Once he came over, we all leaned forward, and he decided to lean up against the speaker...and watched! And then smirked and walked off. Twas very funny.

I do however have audio (random video) of the sound check that was coming outside. Gerard was...moaning or something? We joked saying that he was haunting The Sloss so I have...Gerard as a haunt. They also did Mama. I have quite a bit of the sound check, if not almost all of it. I'll post that when I get a chance, as well as writing out a proper review. I'm finishing up a project for class tonight and the last of my packing so I'll see you all in St. Louis if you are there

You have no idea how excited I am that I actually found news. It feels like it's been forever since I updated the site about anything. Have you guys missed me?

The Black Parade Is Dead!
My Chemical Romance will release a live CD/DVD called "The Black Parade Is Dead!" on June 24th on Reprise Records.

The package captures different sides of My Chemical Romance by spotlighting two very different shows. The CD and DVD feature concert highlights from the huge Palacio de los Deportes sports arena in Mexico City on October 7th, 2007 and the intimate Maxwell's club in Hoboken, NJ, on October 24th, 2007. Both shows demonstrate why critics have raved about The Black Parade World Tour, which began on February 22nd, 2007, and will conclude with a triumphant sold out hometown headlining show at New York City's fabled Madison Square Garden on May 9th, 2008.

Beginning on May 5th when the website goes live, fans will be able to pre-order "The Black Parade is Dead!" by visiting www.theblackparadeisdead.com, where they can also view a trailer for the DVD. Anyone who pre-orders the album from this special website will also gain access to downloads of three DRM-free tracks from the Mexico City show: "Welcome to the Black Parade," "Mama," and "Dead!".

"The Black Parade is Dead!" will also be released in a collectible, limited-edition version, which will feature the CD and DVD, plus a mask designed by one of the band members, in a pine box coffin. (Each band member has designed one mask, which has been selected for inclusion in each box at random.) Another CD/DVD bundle also includes an exclusively designed t-shirt. All special editions are available only online at TheBlackParadeIsDead.com.

Billy Talent Talks About My Chemical Romance!
Billy Talent performed at the Fillmore Auditorium last week and did not disappoint fans. Together for more than a decade, the Canadian four-member band has developed into a melodic punk rock force. Billy Talent is known for its ability to command the stage and maintain a humble attitude as well. After the release of two international multi-platinumelling records and touring nonstop for more than a year, Billy Talent finally had a chance to come back to North America to work on a new album. That is, until called with a special request. Currently touring across the country with My Chemical Romance, Billy Talent was in town and lead singer Ben Kowalewicz sat down to discuss the tour and the upcoming album.

How have you been? How is the tour going so far?

BK: I've been great. We've been great. It's been weird because we were home for about six months, writing the next record and everything was going good, then we got the call. "My Chem want you to open for them!" and we can't say no 'cause they are such great guys and that's lots of humans that we'd be playing in front of every night. We're halfway through the tour now and it's been amazing, amazing, amazing. Shows have been great, people have been great.

Did you know My Chemical Romance before this tour?

BK: We met them in the summer. We were doing festivals in Europe and they were there and we bumped paths. They were in Finland when we were thereand they called us up that morning and asked us if we wanted to play with them. So we went and played and forged this relationship with them. They are really sweet and very nice to us, so, yeah, it's a good mix.

So what do you do on the road for fun?

BK: Well My Chem has a road case with a plasma TV, guitar hero and Xbox. They have remote control cars. They have lots of fun stuff. We're the losers. We read books, watch DVDs and play poker. We're not the hippest cats.

Do you ever sneak over to their bus and try to play?

BK: I haven't actually yet. I'm not a big fan of Guitar Hero.
