Would you ever watch a stage play about the lives of MCR?

[grumpymfer]

i would like to complain about the lack of awareness regarding the absolute hunk chris who tour managed mcr around 2004-2007

(he also accompanied frank on la ink)

To the End - MCR Interviews

89.5 WSOU Radio Interview - 6/7/04

6:12-6:41

Gerard: Let's do track 3 "To the End." Interviewer: Track 3 "To the End" Gerard: Yeah, I'm psyched, this one's like very cinematic, kinda tells a story 'bout marriage and a lot of weird stuff that I had never lyrically written about before, so I'm kinda psyched on that one. Interviewer: So where was the inspiration for this from? Gerard: (Either forgetting or unwilling to admit that it's based on the short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner) Um, no idea. It just-- yeah, LA. It just kinda came out. When we wrote the music, it was just like-- it had this really great like dance feel, which we had never tried ever, and I was just like, "This is so funny, let's put some really messed up lyrics to it."

Trouble Bunch Music Interview - Aug 2004

Paragraph 12

Interviewer: In 'To The End', why does the elevator only go up to ten and would you feel okay getting off on the thirteen floor? Gerard: Well, I felt that picking a lower number would be like 'I can't get high enough' so I had to pick somewhere around ten. I felt like I just needed to get higher; like the top just isn't good enough. I think that's kind of a metaphor in how we feel and how we operate as a band, that the top isn't good enough since that's not what we're after. It's not good enough for us because we want to make a difference and actually change things. We don't just want things thrown at us. But I've gotten off on thirteenth floors. They make them right?

Kerrang Interview - Aug 2005

Page 3

Gerard: Without Blur we never would have had songs like 'You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison'. I saw 300 people start crying when they played 'To The End', which is a song title I ripped off of them.

MCR Forum Interview - 10/30/10

Paragraph 4

Ray: Planetary (GO), which has a different energy, but it's something that we've always tried to write, but we never did one hundred percent. If you look at a song like "Vampires Will Never Hurt You," it has a little bit of that. It doesn't have the electronics in it, but it easily could. And "To The End" on Revenge has that kind of like disco *drums on leg* 16th note hi-hat thing in the verses.

/

Grammy Museum Interview - 1/26/11

7:19-7:34

Mikey: On each of our albums we'd always come like a centimeter closer to writing a full on dance song. And even back to like "Vampires Will Never Hurt You," it's kind of-- Ray: Yeah, it has that vibe for sure. Mikey: --good dance to it. And then, um, "Sharpest Lives," uh, (quietly, not into the mic, holding up 3 fingers) what was the other one? Ray: "To the End" Mikey: "To the End," yeah.

Two Minutes to Late Night Interview - 8/15/22

8:05-8:54, 46:42-46:54

Gwarsenio Hall (Interviewer): Like "To the End" Frank: Oh yeah Gwarsenio: "To the End" are, like-- "To the End" and-- Frank: I'm pulling up the track listing by the way Gwarsenio: "To the End" and, uh-- I'm so sorry-- song number 2 on the record, start-- they both have these like-- Frank: Oh, "Give 'Em Hell Kid" ... Gwarsenio: Like, I listened to it, and I was like-- there's like The Stooges and Queens of the Stone Age shit on this. Even in "To the End," the little (vocalizing) "do do do do." I'm like, "This is a Josh Homme riff right here." Frank: (laughs) Which is funny because I don't feel like anybody was listening to Queens at that point. I don't know, was-- when did Songs for the Deaf come out? Gwarsenio: '03, probably, so you guys might have been-- Frank: Oh really? Alright, so maybe right around there then.

Gwarsenio: What song do you think would make like a fun, like, drag queen lipsync? Frank: I'm thinking-- I think the danciest song is "To the End," right? It has the most vibe to it, so maybe "To the End."

i really really love supernatural. i’ve always wanted to be an actress but i have awful social anxiety. i used to do theatre but my parents didn’t let me continue with it. i can play the violin and the bass guitar. i know the basics of most instruments except piano bc my fingers don’t move like that. i do music production, i really enjoy it but i couldn’t continue with it in university bc i needed maths and physics to do the course. misty isn’t my real name i just didn’t want to use my real name, i got it from a book i’ve been reading (happy all the time by laurie colwin). i want to study law in the future and move to america (hopefully study law in america). i collect dvds, cds, magazines, old video games and figures. i’m pretty lonely, i don’t have many friends, only one of them remembered my birthday (and my ex boyfriend). i’m bisexual, i don’t think it’s awfully important to say but i guess it’ll keep homophobes away from my account. i’ve never smoked before but i’ve always had the urge to, probably because i grew up around smokers. i also like drinking, i hate wine and beer though. i like writing, over the past few years i’ve had multiple different fanfic accounts on here, wattpad and ao3. i wrote for all different fandoms like resident evil, supernatural, call of duty, slashers, homestuck, obey me and danganronpa. i don’t really associate with the homestuck, danganronpa, obey me and call of duty fandoms anymore. i don’t even know why i was so obsessed with call of duty, i hate military and war stuff. i was raised catholic, i still am but i’m chill, i swear. i’m not homophobic or transphobic or racist or anything. i’m not a bible basher, i don’t preach to people… because i’m catholic, we just don’t do that, it’s a personal thing. i accept people as long as their good people. i’m not here to judge people for things they can’t control or their religion. i like to keep an open mind. anyway, i love animals. i have a cat, i used to have rats snd fish too. i’m not a huge fan of dogs. they’re too much for me. and i’m a little scared of them. i’ve been bullied a large part of my life, mostly because i didn’t fit in with people at school. no matter what i did i didn’t fit in, i still don’t at college, i haven’t really made friends yet. i just want to be normal. this intro post is very long, i’m sorry. but i guess i made this account to overshare. thank you for wasting your time reading about some random girl on the internet. xx

[skrrtscree]

Viva Las Vengeance is out so I decided to waste 43 minutes of my life and here's my thoughts.

Note: any song after Local God is my first time listening to it, so all these reactions were written as the song was playing.

Also I'm using the tumblr app so idk how to cut text sorry.

Viva Las Vengeance:

This song has already been shat on to death for good reason

The verse and the chorus don't fit at all with each other

And the slow part near the end is not it😬

Middle of A Breakup:

Just saying this now the lyrics on these songs are VERY on the nose AND unoriginal

'Keep your disco, give me T-Rex' tf is that suppose to mean???

It's meh. Not as painful as the first one for sure.

Don't Let the Light Go Out:

Said it before and I'll say it again: Ed Sheeran knock-off.

Shows that Brendon doesn't need uplifting beats and screehing to make a good song

Well 'good' is subjective but this is one fo the better ones.

Local God:

This song should be in JAIL.

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT IHATE IT-

Doesn't flow together AT ALL

It's 2022 Brendon why did you make an ENTIRE 3 MINUTE SONG about a guy you haven't talked to in YEARS???

Star Spangled Banger:

the title is a obvious lie, this shit ain't banging at ALL

Why is brendon sing-talking some parts in the verse?? Could he not fit all the lyrics in??

Good to know that the verse and the chorus not fitting together is gonna be a running theme throughout this album

God Killed Rock and Roll:

I swear the beginning of with the piano this sounds like a cheap knockoff of bohemian rhapsody

The musical flow of this song SUCKS so much its kinda funny. It starts with piano with an accompany of a chorus which is the only decent part of the entire song, then the pre-chorus has a quicker beat and the switch feels so abrupt.

I don't like that it sounds like brendon is trying to chase the lyrics in the chorus

Say it Louder:

Ngl the beat actually sounds good???

'For the people in the back(back,back,back) bros trying to create his own echo��

None of it sounds out of place so far.. his voice does kind of sound a bit werid though its kind of expected of him at this point

OK nvm, it got slow again around the middle

Sugar Soaker:

The come on come ons do not fit the beat of the chorus. They fit the verses just fine though.

He's definitely making the choruses sound 'fulfilling' when it's just the verse but upped an octave. It just comes off as lifeless..

Wtf were those come ons at the end, its like hes creating dramatic tension through audio

Something About Maggie:

HELP NOT THAT HIGH NOTE FOLLOWED BY ALL THE LOW ONES, yeah that made me actually laugh

'Let him GOOO🤩' 'people say people say run away run away😈'

Sorry but the only ones who wrote a good line about slitting wrists were MCR and that was in 2004 🙄

Also Panic hasn't really been 'emo' since Fever (maybe Vices but that's pushing it) so not only is this line just yeesh it doesnt fit at all.😬

So glad Brendon decided to embrace his snake persona with how he's saying his s' at the end of sentences

'oh yeah'😚

Brendon PLEASE stop messing up the track by switching beats halfway through it

a a a a a a a a

Friendship ended with Sarah, now Maggie is my bestie

Sad Clown:

Title is kinda self-aware, ain't it?

Alright Brendon we know you were on Broadway but that doesn't mean you have to force yourself to sing like that on your songs

Only dogs can hear it I stg

Great he got slow AGAIN out of no where, cause that went so well the last time he did it (viva las vengeance)

All By Yourself:

Another self-aware title damn, he's on a kick with these.

He likes mentioning those posters on my wall. Ironically I have two IDKHOW and FØB posters and none of him lol.

Even with a slow song like this, it still feels like he's forcing himself to sing higher than he has to.

He was right about changing everything all by himself though.

This actually sounds pretty nice, I will admit.

Do it To Death:

What else is there left to say? It sounds the exact same as the other songs..

It keeps teasing me thinking he's gonna say something else-OH SCREW OFF NOW THIS 'shut up and go to bed' SHIT AGAIN

I sat through 40 minutes of your mediocre music just to get jumpscared with a viva las vengeance callback END ME

In short: im disappointed but not surprised. This doesn't even feel like Panic anymore. The lyrics are bland and repetitive, Brendons vocals are truely fighting on their last legs and the songs can't commit to a single beat. It's like he had too many ideas and thought he could execute them all but he couldn't. I can't believe this album is actually real, I refuse to listen to this ever again.

If the studio versions of these songs sound so dogshit, I canNOT wait to hear about the tour versions.

Bonus note: the song spotify decided to auto play right after finishing the album was Famous Last Words which idk whether to laugh or cry.

[zombierockerr]

To go along with the other video I posted (MCR at the 2004 Almost Acoustic Christmas), here is the second concert I listened to religiously in my time as a fan before the release of The Black Parade. (So like summer of 2005 - fall of 2006). Don't get me wrong, I listened to them after TBP, but before I listened to it like...weekly at least.

It's summer...it's hot ...and Gerard let's you know he hates it.

Highlights:

1. Opening with I'm Not Okay

2. Frank Iero is the most #RevengeFrank he has ever been.

3. Gerard Way in all black with his bulletproof vest and a dye job that looks like someone spilt bleach on top of his head (jealous much?)

4. They are all wearing all black ...

5. "You guys come to have a good time tonight...today, whatever?"

6. "You didn't pay to just sit there or stand there..."

7. Ray's mic is potted up to 11...it is delicious.

8. "Beach balls at festival shows are the work of the devil."

9. "This song got us arrested in France...because it's about getting fucked in the ass." Into Prison

10. "Aw, my zipper came down..." Again...part of going into Prison.

11. Gerard gives the "tits for a backstage pass" speech

12. During the speech, someone (Ray?) is playing "Close to you" from the Carpenters

13. Here comes the Bride into To The End.

14. Saying LA so MANY times.

15. Ending with Helena

It is a great show...I know I missed something that I love about it.

Escape The Fate - Chemical Warfare

Track list:

Unbreakable

Chemical Warfare

Erase You

Not My Problem (Ft. Travis Barker)

Burn The Bridges

Demons

Hand Grenade

Ashes (Broken World)

My Gravity

Walk On

Escape The Fate, a metal band from Las Vegas that have had a career full a drama since their formation in 2004. Starting with the whole firing of Ronnie Radke - their original singer -  when he went to prison after battery charges and failure to comply with probation, that started a whole issue that has now been resolved but that went on for a good many years. Max Greene went next due to his battles with narcotics but again any issues have been resolved. So now, drama free, we welcome their 7th full length studio album.

“Invincible” guest stars American singer Lindsey Stirling who has been getting onto some guest spots for some top bands lately, it’s got an ominous vibe and when that first growl comes it hits me quite unexpectedly, it’s just changed the dynamic of the song, when I hear Stirling she beautifully leads up very eerie vocals to a beast of a breakdown, top class. “Not My Problem” gets a helping hand from legendary Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, I’m getting huge Dead By April vibes from this, but I suppose when you combine these styles of writing that is the sensible outcome, the sinister build up at the end really takes me back to early metalcore days where things sound demonic and Early Slipknot are a good example of what I mean, really fits in well. “Lightning Strike” makes me have strong flashbacks to the time MCR dropped Danger Days as it's a similar style and change, it’s only when Mabbitt dominates the chorus that it truly feels like ETF, think more new Asking Alexandria style. I really struggle with “My Gravity” - and I’d love to know if any other ETF and Falling In Reverse fans are having this - to not compare it to “Carry On” simply because of the lyrics to that song, because in my opinion “Carry On” is phenomenal I just can’t help but keep finding that this is just like a diluted version of that even though the songs don’t sound similar. “Walk On” was the first taste test dropped for us which shows more than ever just how much there is to Craig Mabbitt’s vocals in a really beautiful building ballad.

This is a band after all that has adapted to change, down to brass tacks they are still the same band that they started as and they bare their teeth when to remind us they know what they're doing at the right times but also proving that they can be that band that moves around and grows with their aging fanbase who maybe feel a teeny bit disconnected to the angst of their youth and purely feel the nostalgia from it, well you dont get nostalgia from new ETF you just get new relatable tunes.

[ozymandiasdirge]

I was looking through your blog, and I cannot figure out what that meme with the 9/11 >>> 50 shades of gray actually means.

WHY DID YALL REMIND ME THIS EXISTS ITS SUCH A 

oh god okay the truncated timeline of this fucking meme. 9/11 happens ➡️gerard way is on ferry and has their “im gonna be joan of arc and the world at large is just gonna have to deal with it” moment after seeing it ➡️critically acclaimed band my chemical romance is formed ➡️somewhere in utah, stephanie meyer briefly wakes up out of the complete ketamine haze of mormonism and being horny about khaki and joseph smith to listen to acclaimed mcr single “vampires will never hurt you”, takes one look at that lapsed catholic greasy mess of 2004 era mcr and gets massively fucking horny about gerard ➡️stephanie meyer creates twilight and specifically thanks gerard and the lads in the preface of the book ➡️ (this isnt related to this meme timeline but stephanie meyer begged mcr to do a song for the á la muse’s supermassive blackhole or paramore’s decode and mcr said we are LARPing in the desert. but then gerard found out how fucking horny stephanie meyer was AND that she had wanted him to fucking play edward in the movie (jesus fucking christ) and wrote a whole song for their fourth album about how he deserved some fucking royalty checks for this shit and called it vampire money which is just iconic (and then let their song get used in the third transformers movie AND glee though so what the fuck was 2010) ➡️el james is busy being like 35 and writes masters of the universe of fanfiction.net  which is some twilight bdsm AU ➡️somehow a publishing deal happens after she literally just hit control+f on the names and 50 shades of gray is released into the fucking wild lets 40 year old white women everywhere think its cool to start talking about how spicy this book is in the middle of olive gardens across america ➡️the phrases “im 50 shades of fucked up” and the concept of “dom jeans” enter the cultural consciousness and is probably responsible for the mess of america in 2020

[crxpeek]

I got tagged by @ohtheboysathot2, thanks for the tag.

Nicknames:

Shit I don’t have many of those... Uhhh actually I only have one... “The Other Nick”

Real Name?

Nick. Surprise. Sorry, still not Valensi tho. 

Zodiac?

All I know is that one they assign to birthdates and mine’s a Taurus. 

Favourite Artists?

You come on my CRX blog and ask this question? Okay besides the obvious: MGMT, SHINee, The Killers, Lady Gaga, St. Vincent, MCR, AM, Weezer, Red Velvet, Tame Impala... I could literally lists for fucking weeks. At this rate it’s best to check out my last.fm that would be: OhNoAFern. And then you can shame me for a lot of plays on some songs... I’m sure you can guess...

Favorite Sports Teams?

Ew sports the straight people shit. I just show up for the halftime show and then disappear every year. Do I sound like a man who knows about sports? NO.

Other Blogs?

@hififellas Yeah, hi, that’s me bringing you all those MGMT updates & pics. 

Do You Get Asks?

Not as much anymore. I was getting a lot in July/August of last year then everyone kinda disappeared. 

How Many Blogs Do You Follow?

Apparently I follow like 622 blogs. Don’t know how I ended up following that much. Guess I never cleaned house on the inactive ones.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

Tumblr Crushes?

I honest to fuck to this day have 0 clue what a “tumblr crush” is. I’ve been on this site for THREE YEARS. Still no clue. 

Lucky Number?

I don’t really have one tbh. 

What Are You Wearing Right Now?

Enough black that I could be a 2004 MCR member. 

Dream Vacation?

Ah the stuff I’ll never get to because I don’t have enough money. I’m gonna go for the answer that’s gonna get me labeled a weeb and say Japan. I’m gonna blame those SuperMega vlogs. Also would be cool with visiting New Orleans. NYC is a must someday, LA too. Also because way too many people I know are at Disney rn... a full visit to every Disney Park. I’m sure you’re thinking “But Nick, you’re from Florida isn’t that like a thing you guys do down there?” Bruh it’s like $110+ to get in for a 1 day pass alone. 

Dream?

Will it be moonlit Eden and will it be washing over me? 

Dream Car?

I’m gonna avoid the predictable joke I could make here and just flat out say I don’t really have one. I’m a boring person I know. 

Favourite food?

Pizza is always good, sushi is a friend, chicken is a friend, mint chocolate chip ice cream is a friend, rice krispy treats are friends, cheez-its are friends, cheese in general is a friend... You can smell the American from these choices. But I will say one thing... I don’t like hot dogs and hamburgers. 

Drink Of Choice?

Water is cool. If not then coffee, if not then my holy trio of fruit teas (Lemon, Peach, Cherry), if not then fruit punch is cool, if not then I’m down for fruity alcohols. 

Instruments?

I barely learned the recorder in second grade does that count?

Languages?

English only for the most part. I mean I know a few phrases of other languages here and there but that’s about it. I took half a year of Spanish in 6th Grade suffered through it because it was just NOT clicking with me. 

Celebrity Crushes?

DUDE PLEASE LOOK AT EVERY POST UNDER THIS FOR LIKE THE PAST 24 HOURS. 

Random Fact:

I have gotten 2 hours of sleep within the past 24 hours.

Tres hurras por los 15 años de la dulce venganza

Amigos de Subsonic, el día de hoy, 8 de junio de 2019, cumple 15 años el segundo álbum de estudio de la mejor banda de rock emo que ha tocado este páramo abandonado de Dios que llamanos Tierra, My Chemical Romance. Así es, me refiero al mítico Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004). Este fue el primer álbum larga duración que lanzó la banda liderada por Gerard Way (<3) bajo el sello de Reprise Records, dos años después del lanzamiento de su opera prima, I Brought you the Bullets, you Brought Me Your Love (2002), bajo el sello independiente Eyeball Records.

        Three Cheers… es la continuación de I Brought you the Bullets��� pues concluye la historia de los “Demolition Lovers”, personajes principales del primer álbum. En este lanzamiento escuchamos en qué terminó la historia de los amantes y asesinos: el hombre se da cuenta de que al morir llegaron al infierno, pero dado que él no quiere eso para su amada, llega a un trato con el diablo, quien cambiará el alma de ella por la de 1000 hombres malvados.

Es bueno mencionar que la historia no es aclarada de inicio, se van dando indicios conforme avanzas en el disco que se completan con información que contiene el booklet del álbum.

        Antes de avanzar más cabe aclarar otra cosa: todos los álbumes de MCR son conceptuales… en cierto grado; de hecho, los primeros dos discos son los menos cargados de hilo narrativo, el cual, aun así, no deja de ser discernible. Ejemplos de esto son dos de los sencillos principales del álbum, Helena y The Ghost of You.

Si bien Helena es una canción compuesta por Gerard a la muerte de su abuela, dentro de la historia de Three Cheers… refleja el duelo de nuestro personaje principal a la muerte de su amada y cómo se encontrará con ella cuando cumpla su promesa.

The Ghost of You es otra pieza que refleja ese duelo por perderla, una idea que es trasladada a otro tipo de pérdida en el video de la canción, en el cual los miembros de la banda aparecen representados como soldados durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En el video, Gerard pierde a su hermano Mike, mostrando cómo ese “fantasma” o recuerdo de algo o alguien perdido puede estar no sólo en el amor romántico.

El resto del tracklist del álbum se compone de canciones construidas dentro del lore de Three Cheers… y que cuentan la travesía de nuestro personaje, como The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You y Hang ‘em high, con otras rolas más radio friendly, como I’m Not Okay (I Promise).

Para los críticos musicales de la época, Three Cheers… significó un refinamiento del sonido de MCR, y fue un parteaguas en la escena del rock emo, pues fue lo que lo mantuvo en el mapa por unos años más. Gerard y compañía habían estudiado bien sus inspiraciones y mejorado sus líricas. Guiños a Misfits, The Smiths, y a bandas contemporáneas como AFI y Thursday son palpables y bastante disfrutables.

Este álbum dejó un enorme legado detrás de sí, inspirando modas, estilos musicales y líricos, y un infame intento de plagio que involucra a una banda mexicana y la undécima canción del disco, It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Death Wish.

Anyway, celebren el aniversario de este señor discazo, saquen sus delineadores y tinte oscuro para honrar la memoria de una de las últimas bandas de rock en darle nuevos bríos a su escena.

So long

Goodnight

STAY TUNED
