Bob Bryar, the drummer of My Chemical Romance from 2004 to 2010, has died at the age of 44, Rolling Stone has confirmed. 

“The band asks for your patience and understanding as they process the news of Bob’s passing,” a spokesperson for the band tells Rolling Stone. 

Details surrounding his death were not given, but law enforcement sources told TMZ the musician was found in his Tennessee home, and no foul play is suspected. The medical examiner is investigating the cause of Bryar’s death.

Born in Chicago in 1979, Bryar started playing drums at a young age and got a degree in sound engineering from the University of Florida before becoming a touring sound engineer. He worked for Thrice and the Used and met My Chemical Romance while on tour with the Used in 2004.

Later that year, My Chemical Romance replaced drummer Matt Pelissier shortly after the release of the New Jersey rock band’s second LP, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. He went on to perform on three of the band’s subsequent releases, including their seminal 2006 album, The Black Parade, and their 2010 effort, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

“This was the biggest record I have ever done and I was nervous,” Bryar recalled of recording The Black Parade in an interview with Alternative Press. “Along with being nervous, we all had to feel out the writing dynamic between all of us. I was very vocal about my drum parts, but let the other dudes do their thing because they were doing so well and didn’t need anyone chiming in every second. That leads me to remember one situation where it was super-late and only G, the engineer and myself were at the studio. There was a vocal harmony that I kept hearing. It was the first time I got the balls to ask someone to try something. That idea made it to the record, which was really nice for me to see happen.”

He added, “As we were recording the record, I was getting more and more excited. It was turning out to be a very complete and a very entertaining audio story… I really feel every part of that record, down to the artwork, is pretty unbeatable. I hope those songs will be around for a long time.”

Bryar departed from My Chemical Romance, who later disbanded in 2013, following the release of Danger Days, although he performed on the band’s singles collection, Conventional Weapons. Band member Frank Iero confirmed in a statement that Bryar’s exit was “a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly.” He added, “We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same.”

My Chemical Romance replaced Bryar from 2011-2013 with Jarrod Alexander, who also joined the band for their 2022 reunion tour. After leaving the band, Bryar continued to tour behind the scenes with various bands and became involved in dog rescue charities and sanctuaries. In 2014, he quit the music industry to pursue a career in real estate.

In 2021, Bryar auctioned off the drum kit used during the band’s 2005 MTV VMAs performance to raise money for the Williamson County Animal Control and Adoption Center in Tennessee. “It’s my favorite finish of all of the kits I’ve had,” he wrote of the set. “If you look closely, there is still some confetti from tour that snuck into the bass drum hole. I’ll leave that in there for you.” In 2022, Bryar announced he would be selling his original Black Parade uniform to help “abandoned and sheltered animals in areas of Florida and South Carolina that are affected by Hurricane Ian.”

Elvis Presley's home of Graceland will not be hitting the auction block on Thursday after all.

In a hearing Wednesday that only lasted about eight minutes, Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins adjourned the sale of Graceland, saying, "The notary has sworn that the notary did not notarize the signature of Lisa Marie Presley on the deed of trust, which brings into question the authenticity of the signature."

The hearing on Wednesday in Tennessee was set to determine whether a dubious entity could proceed with an advertised plan to auction off the late singer's estate in Memphis.MORE: Battle for Graceland heads to court

Actress Riley Keough, Presley's granddaughter, was trying to stop a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC from conducting an auction outside the Shelby County Courthouse on Thursday at noon.

Keough is alleging the company presented fraudulent documents last September "purporting to show that Lisa Marie Presley had borrowed $3.8 million from Naussany Investments and gave a deed of trust encumbering Graceland as security," according to the court documents obtained by Memphis ABC affiliate WATN.

Keough is being represented by attorneys based in Memphis and Jacksonville, Florida. Both lawyers declined to comment to ABC News. It is not yet clear whether Naussany Investments has an attorney.

Jenkins said "Gregory Naussany" of Jacksonville filed a one-page motion for continuance and Jenkins denied the motion Wednesday.

"The court will adjourn the sale as requested because one, the real estate is considered unique under Tennessee law and in being unique, the loss of the real estate would be considered irreparable harm," Jenkins said.

Jenkins added, "Graceland is a part of this community, well loved by this community and indeed around the world."

Bob Bryar, Iconic My Chemical Romance Drummer, Passes Away at 44: A Legacy Remembered

Beloved Former Drummer of My Chemical Romance Leaves an Indelible Mark on Rock Music

Bob Bryar, the talented drummer who propelled My Chemical Romance's rhythm section during their meteoric rise, has passed away at the age of 44. A representative for the band confirmed the tragic news, requesting “patience and understanding” from fans as the group processes their loss.

Bryar’s death occurred in Tennessee, with initial reports indicating no foul play. The medical examiner is investigating the cause of death.

A Journey from Chicago to Global Stardom

Born in Chicago in 1979, Bryar’s passion for music started early. He began drumming as a child and later earned a degree in sound engineering from the University of Florida. This foundation paved the way for a career as a touring sound engineer, collaborating with bands like Thrice and The Used. It was during a tour with The Used in 2004 that Bryar crossed paths with My Chemical Romance—a meeting that would change his life and the trajectory of the band forever.

That same year, Bryar replaced founding drummer Matt Pelissier, stepping into the spotlight just as My Chemical Romance released their breakthrough album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

The Black Parade: A Defining Era

Bryar's tenure with the band was marked by the creation of some of their most iconic work, including the 2006 album The Black Parade, often hailed as a rock opera masterpiece. Reflecting on the recording process in a past interview with Alternative Press, Bryar admitted to initial nerves but ultimately found his stride.

“I was nervous,” he recalled. “But as we were recording, I got more and more excited. It turned out to be a very complete and entertaining audio story. Every part of that record, down to the artwork, is unbeatable. I hope those songs live on forever.”

Bryar’s contributions extended beyond drumming; he helped shape the album’s sound, even suggesting vocal harmonies that made the final cut.

From Rock Star to Animal Advocate

After leaving My Chemical Romance in 2010, Bryar explored other endeavors, including real estate. He also became a passionate advocate for animal rescue, raising funds for shelters and supporting animal welfare. In 2021, he auctioned off his drum kit from the band’s 2005 MTV VMAs performance, with proceeds benefiting the Williamson County Animal Control and Adoption Center.

Bryar’s generosity continued in 2022 when he sold his Black Parade uniform to aid animals affected by Hurricane Ian in Florida and South Carolina.

A Heartfelt Farewell

Bryar's exit from My Chemical Romance was bittersweet. In a statement, guitarist Frank Iero described the decision as “painful” but emphasized the enduring respect and admiration the band held for him. Despite parting ways, Bryar’s legacy within the My Chemical Romance story remains profound.

Remembering Bob Bryar

From his powerful drumming on The Black Parade to his quieter, behind-the-scenes work advocating for animals, Bob Bryar's life was one of passion, creativity, and generosity. Fans worldwide mourn the loss of a musician who left an indelible mark on rock history while inspiring kindness and compassion through his actions.

As we celebrate his contributions to music and humanity, Bob Bryar will forever be remembered as a cornerstone of My Chemical Romance’s success and a beloved figure in the world of rock.

Securing Consistent High Return With Tax Liens and Tax Deeds Featuring Angela Duncan

https://www.jayconner.com/podcast/episode-185-securing-consistent-high-return-with-tax-liens-and-tax-deeds-featuring-angela-duncan/

Welcome to another enlightening episode of “Raising Private Money” with Jay Conner, also known as the Private Money Authority. In today’s episode, we have a special guest, Angela Duncan, an expert in tax lien investing and the host of the highly-rated podcast “Empower Her Money.” Angela shares her journey from poverty and abuse to achieving financial success and happiness. This blog post will delve into Angela’s strategies for raising private money, shifting mindsets, and generating consistent returns through tax lien investing.

From Adversity to Success: Angela’s Remarkable Journey

Angela Duncan’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Born into a life of poverty and abuse, Angela moved out at 18 and worked three jobs to change her circumstances. Her initial drive to escape poverty led her to excel in banking, financial advising, and real estate. Today, she is dedicated to helping others create wealth through passive investing. Angela emphasizes that shifting one’s mindset is crucial. “Understand that you have the power to choose. Once you become aware of your limiting beliefs, you can replace them with empowering ones,” says Angela.

The Power of Writing It Down

Angela highlights the importance of writing down thoughts and goals as a fundamental method for mindset transformation. “Many years of studies have shown that writing something down makes it more likely to stay in your mind,” Angela explains. She recommends using visual aids like a large whiteboard to continuously remind oneself of their goals and progress. This practice helps in consistently working on shifting the money mindset from a scarcity perspective to one of abundance.

Understanding Tax Liens and Tax Deeds

Angela chose tax liens as her focus in real estate investment due to their passive nature and reliability. A tax lien is essentially a lien on a property due to unpaid property taxes. Investors provide the needed tax amount to the government in exchange for interest when the property owner repays the tax. On the other hand, tax deeds involve buying the actual deed to the property, typically at auction, if the owner fails to pay the taxes. Both avenues offer lucrative opportunities for double-digit returns, but they come with different levels of risk and involvement.

Raising Private Money: The Strategy

Angela emphasizes that raising private money is not a sales process but a solution-providing one. Identifying the right target market is essential. For Angela, retirees looking for steady, conservative returns are ideal candidates. “Connect potential investors to the right vehicle to meet their financial needs,” she advises, underscoring the importance of education and understanding investors’ goals. By focusing on helping rather than selling, Angela successfully raised over $1,000,000 for her tax lien fund.

Achieving Consistent 22% Returns

One of the most compelling aspects of tax lien investing is the potential for high, consistent returns. In Florida, for example, tax liens can earn between 5% to 18%. Combining tax lien investments with tax deed investments can balance risk and reward, often leading to a blended, double-digit return on investment. “By diversifying among short-term notes and tax deeds, you can achieve higher returns while managing risk,” Angela suggests.

Creating Generational Wealth

Angela discusses how tax liens can be a vehicle for generational wealth, especially when combined with strategic life insurance planning. Flexible policies like Whole Life or Indexed Universal Life (IUL) can serve dual purposes. They provide life insurance while allowing investors to borrow against the policy for other high-return investments. “This strategy not only preserves capital for the next generation but also educates them on building and maintaining wealth,” Angela explains.

The Importance of Mentorship

Angela emphasizes the critical role of mentorship in achieving investment success. “Don’t be afraid to seek help or ask questions,” she advises. Mentors can provide invaluable insights and prevent costly mistakes. Jay Conner echoes this sentiment, sharing how a lack of mentorship led to significant losses early in his career. Both agree that the right guidance can fast-track your path to financial freedom.

Conclusion

Angela Duncan’s story and strategies underscore the transformative power of mindset, education, and strategic investing. She demonstrates that with the right tools and guidance, anyone can achieve financial independence and create lasting generational wealth.

Film Review - Parker

To conclude my run on Jason Statham films for the present, we now take a look at the 2013 film Parker…

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

Parker is a professional thief who is asked by his mentor Hurley to take charge of a job with a crew he doesn't know, consisting of Melander, Carlson, Ross, and Hardwicke. They succeed in robbing the Ohio State Fair, but Hardwicke alters part of Parker's plan, resulting in an unnecessary death. Angry about the killing and a stickler for adhering to his word, Parker refuses to participate in a jewel robbery they ask him to join. Needing Parker’s share of the Ohio loot to finance the bigger job anyway, Melander tells Hardwicke to kill him and they leave him on the side of the road. Parker survives and is picked up by farmers. After escaping from the hospital, Hurley directs Parker to New Orleans, where Hardwicke's brother tells him the crew are in Palm Beach, Florida.

Hurley tries to convince Parker to take his own money and leave the issue alone to protect him and his daughter Claire (who is also Parker's girlfriend) from retribution brought by Hardwicke's uncle Danzinger, a mob boss in Chicago. Parker refuses, stating that he wants the money from those who wronged him due to principle. Danzinger's hitman tries to capture Claire, but she escapes. Parker goes to Palm Beach and masquerades as a rich Texas oil baron named Daniel Parmitt looking for an expensive house. Real estate agent Leslie Rodgers shows him a supposedly vacant home recently purchased by someone named Rodrigo, which piques his interest. Leslie is a struggling divorcee, who asks Parker on a date, but he declines. When she checks his credit, she finds his identity (obtained from one of Hurley's connections) is phony.

Desperate for money and a way out of her mother's condo, Leslie offers her help. When Parker tells her the next job is a jewel heist, Leslie says there is a jewel auction nearby. The hitman finds Parker and attacks him in his hotel, but Parker throws him from the balcony and escapes. A cop comes to Leslie's condo asking about Parmitt and the altercation, since she showed him houses. During the conversation, Leslie finds a bleeding Parker on her porch. She gets the cop to leave, promising him a list of the places she showed "Parmitt". Despite his injuries, Parker insists on carrying out his revenge against Melander's crew that night.

Melander and his crew enter the auction to set up speakers rigged with fireworks. Later, after the fireworks have gone off, they enter as a fire team and steal the jewels, escaping by boat. Parker waits for them at their house, having broken in earlier to plant guns and damage their weapons' firing pins. When they return, he prepares to attack, but Leslie also arrives and is captured by Melander. With the help of one of his planted guns and the bent firing pins, Leslie and Parker manage to kill the entire crew. Parker then leaves Leslie with the intent of fencing the jewels and promises to provide her with her share when he can. He subsequently kills Danzinger in Chicago, mails Leslie her cut a year and a half later and sends money to the farmers who saved him.

Review:

For the second time in this Jason Statham run, we’re getting into literary adaptation territory.  The character of Parker apparently comes from a novel series by the late Donald Westlake, and while the character has undergone prior adaptations, Westlake would not allow any adaptation to use the name Parker unless they agreed to adapt the entire novel series.  Granted, this is from Wikipedia, so taking a pinch of salt with this, but if true, that makes this film a first in that it is the first adaptation of these novels not held to Westlake’s caveat, due to the agreement regarding the film rights being made with his widow after his passing.

That little factoid aside, this is another film I’m having to come at just as a film due to not knowing the source material.  On that basis, the film is a decent action piece, and I think Statham is able to act more in this than in some of his other films.  The action scenes are plentiful but not excessive, and they have some added realism due to the director Taylor Hackford not wanting the Parker character to sail easily through the fights.  It’s not often that dedicated action films do this, at least according to Hackford’s commentary on the blu-ray, but again, I’m taking that with a pinch of salt.  This is because I think sometimes people in film and TV can rush to assume all films or TV shows in a certain genre are a certain way, but haven’t actually explored that media.  This can certainly be true of science fiction franchises like Marvel or Star Trek, who are both misjudged and, based on some podcasts I’ve recently heard, at least one of them has alumni mis-judging the other.

Getting back to Parker, the film also has some recognisable names in its cast beyond Statham.  The main ones are Michael Chiklis, who I mainly know as Ben Grimm from Fox’s original Fantastic Four films, as well as his role in Batman-based TV show Gotham, Bobby Cannavale of MCU fame (Paxton from Ant-Man and its first sequel), Nick Nolte and Jennifer Lopez.  Lopez provides the female lead for the film’s second half, and she does well, as do most of the cast.  The premise is also an interesting one, namely that of a thief with a sort of code, though it’s a far cry from anyone acting in the manner of a Robin Hood.  Parker is clearly a thief of the criminal variety rather than an outlaw hero, but he does have redeeming elements that allow us to accept him as a protagonist.

If I have a criticism on this film, other than Statham showcasing a lack of ability to do accents well, it’s that the film fails to make passages of time more explicit.  On the director’s commentary, Hackford notes a number of instances where time is shown as passing through Statham’s facial hair, the weather and other visual hints, but for me, this is insufficient.  We should have something to tell us how much time has passed, as we do nearer to the end of the film.  This feeds into an increasing trend I’ve noticed in more recent films of failing to impart sufficient information to audiences via the film itself.  This is a good film, but could have been a great film with a bit more direct communication.

Looking at this film by itself, I would say it comes in at about 8 out of 10, and I will leave any judgements on its adaptational accuracy to those who have read the Parker novels.

Our signature ART Auction on December 12, 2024, will spotlight emerging and local artists, institutions, museums, and corporate collectors, allowing them to gain global visibility and connect with art enthusiasts.
