Things that aren't too surprising....

So since the last time I posted, apparently LynZ and Kitty did an interview where they said that people who don't like them are "fat" and "sit around eating crisps all day". This goes really well with her saying that she is "inspirational". Very mature of them. But that is to be expected from MSI members who think that slur words are funny.

Also MCR released a video for Desolation Row and LynZ is in it. Not surprisingly.

Wow good thing she doesn't want to be associated with MCR! Of course the fact that they are both lying when they say that is old news.

Ex fans are calling them My Mindless Chemical Self Indulgent Romance. Or other variations of that. That name seems very appropriate.

Again I just want to say..... I never censor this blog. I don't care what you all say. I just want you to have a place to day it. I don't agree that LynZ or Gerard should be picked on for their looks when it is their actions that are disgusting. I don't think that "fat" should be an insult (like LynZ seems to think)..... but you say what you want.

Also, to address one more thing. This has always been my blog. Verita Venom. That's my name up there. While I don't LIKE the arguing that sometimes goes on here I also will not try to stop it. Like I said, it is not my time they are wasting, it is theirs. Telling people to leave this blog is not appropriate. The only line I draw here, is slur words. All opinions are welcome. If fangirls come in complaining about everyone here, they are also allowed. You can say what you want to them but you can't ask them to leave or go to another blog. Well you CAN tell them that but nothing is going to enforce it so it's a little pointless. This blog is open to all and it always has been.

Also due to the nature of the things happening at certain other blogs in the last few months, I would also draw the line at people's information getting posted, and anyone who gets into the REAL LIFE of others. That means NO posting of other's information, where they live, real names or anything like that without their consent. That and hate words. Those are the only two things where I feel I can and will draw a line.

But getting back to MMSICR or MSIMCR or MMCSIR..... However you want to say it. That really sums it up now that she is a part of their music videos too.

I just read what LynZ's exact words were in that interview and I have something to say about that.

LynZ said

"I think the people writing these questions either a) can't play an instrument or b)could never be in a band. These people are sitting at home, probably eating crisps, commenting on all the things that I'm doing. If they hate me so bad that it inspires them to say, 'Fuck her, I can do it better', then my job is done."

First of all that is typical adolescent logic. If people don't like you they must be bored lazy fat and useless.

Second. And most important. Every single day that I wake up, and don't pretend to play bass in a band that spouts hate speech toward minorities gays and women, every single day I don't go on stage and flaunt my underwear for attention, every single day that I don't marry a rich famous guy and ride his coat tails into the spotlight...

I have already "done it better" than Lyn Z.

I don't think Ray is.

Me either actually. And that dude has more musical talent in his little finger than the other members of MCR put together and then multiplied by a fucking lot. Meaning Ray writes all the music!


Ray needs to grow a pair and start his own band and then tell GWay and his idiot brother to fuck off.

I get the impression that Ray is a dude that just loves to play and lacks the big ego that constantly lands GW in trouble. He's really one of those few nice guys in the industry.

Good writer or not, I don't have any respect for that person. He/she/it should not continue to let people believe that he/she/it is Gerard Way. It's cruel and it can't go on forever. People have already been hurt there and they will continue to be hurt.

Yeah I get you. But I think Mayo is left in a rut. I honestly don't know what he thinks he should do. He may have made the monster, but it is hard to choose which way to kill the monster.

Who would have thought a blog made 18 months ago would have created such a buzz.

The difference between him/her/if/what/why/etc, is that thatperson genuinely has a gift at writing.

I still enjoy reading Mayo's blogs.

There comes a point where loyalty has to be sacrificed in order to preserve your own integrity and sanity. Ray is capable of reaching that point (he did with Matt) and he might just wind up doing the same thing with Gerard.

I think a lot depends on the direction this new record takes.

Who cares if anyone finds that sad. People go through shit, people grasp at shit, we are only human. Don't pick on people, everyone needs a place to feel comforable.

No problem. I'm getting to the point of being past caring about the band myself. The music is forever ruined for me, but it was never about Gerard and Lindsey. It was about the band misrepresenting themselves and duping me out of my money. That's why I won't buy any more records, merch, or go to any more shows.

MCR is dead for me. I'm just having a little trouble with the grieving process, that's all. That's why I'm still here.

Anonymous said...

I'm sorry, I should have cleared it up. They think that Frank and Gerard had sex when they went to Germany a few years ago. They were saying it on the internet before Mayo's came along. Then when Mayo's blog, they told a group of people there who told their friends what the OP's thought and so on and so on etc etc etc.

But I don't think many people believe the OP's. They had one of their friends go on MCRumourcontrol live journal and tell the people there that they had a "special connection" with Frank / SS.

Anonymous said...

In fact if you go on MCRumourcontrol from last year you will see the post that is actually about Mayo being Gerard and see the OP's "plant" there telling everyone about the OP's "special connection".

Not all of the regulars there believe that. Mayo said that he was not Gerard a few times.

What I think is that alot of the regulars know that Mayo is one of them, GV in particular. I think a certain group actually knows that GV is Mayo and there is just no way to tell the "believers" that it is not Gerard.

Anonymous said...

So I saw Watchmen, generally it was a good movie. Long, sort of tedious but I totally enjoyed it.

Of course the worse part was hearing the Desolation Row cover and then having my friend say that she actually enjoyed it.

Yeah, I always seem to stand alone when it comes to my opinion of GW and the crap they call music that MCR has created lately.

>_<

Pisses me off all the time!

hey all!

i agree 100% with you anon. i think he really does love her. why talk about her all the time if he doesn't? i know most people wouldn't, but he is probably a bit different and just does things his way.

I think the baby is playing on his mind. I think he is genuinely excited about it.

i agree with this anon as well. i tend to think it may have been planned as the anons suggested this morning. they might have their own reasons to say why it wasn't.

it just seems natural to want to start a family with the person you love, that is, if you want children.

anyway, i'm sure they are busy getting everything organized for the baby's imminent arrival.

And when they cant sell stuff related to TBP or TBPID, they created the Revenge bulletproof jacket, which, IMO, is to lure ex-fans (esp during Revenge era) to come back to them.

Hello everyone!

I really wonder if MCR is that short of cash so that they need to 'resurrect' the old Revenge days and make people buy that crap?

Maybe that's why Warner told 'Sack Schneider' (HA! German insider, forgive me about that) to take MCR for the DR cover because MCR still owes them money for the disappointing TBP and TBID sells. And just like I said here before, that is the same reason why they have to go back to the studio so quickly and record a new album instead of taking a long break. That might also be the reason why they will play that Japan festival. They have to earn money to pay back Warner.
Also, I start to believe that the whole 'back-to-the-roots-we-want-to-be-punk-again' crap is forced on them by Warner because they noticed that TBP was a bomb and they want to keep it low key and modest now to spare themselves a further malinvestment.

I think it depends on what part of the states you live in. There are still some places where people listen to MCR, but most of them are younger than college age.

Anonymous said...

Yes that was last August I think. That was the party that Billy Corgan wouldn't play at, then Gerard Way was trying to persuade Ray to delay his honeymoon or something to do it. In the end MSI played at her suicide themed party. That was the "Rock Royalty" comment they made during that Rocksound interview where Lynz was smashed on something.

You couldn't make this shit up.

Anonymous said...

Yes, the Frances Bean "suicidal 16" party has been discussed here quite a bit. A lot of people were offended that she would be so insensitive about the suicide issue.

Frances has had to live with the fact that her father committed suicide her whole life, so she's probably somewhat desensitized to it, but regardless, I think she should have had more respect for her father's memory, if only for his fans' sake.

As someone who loved Kurt Cobain and who was around when he killed himself, I found her party distasteful and it made me see her as a spoiled brat in desperate need of parental supervision. But with C. Love as her only parent, I probably shouldn't have expected anything different.

Anonymous said...

Let me clarify that. What I meant was that I was a fan back then and I am old enough to remember when that happened - unlike the 16 year olds who don't see the big deal about Frances' party.

Anonymous said...

I know about the party and all the crap, but I didn't know that the theme was suicide.
I mean, how fucked up in the head must Frances be to chose such a theme for her sweet 16 and how fucked up in the head must everyone involved be to participate in it, when everyone is well aware of the fact that Frances own father killed himself?
This is beyond macabre!!!!!
I know that MSI must have laughed their asses off about this because it is their kind of humor but what about MCR?
Those fuckers never fail to disappoint.
Maybe, that's also why Billy didn't attend because he found the theme to be disrespectful towards Kurt?

Anonymous said...

Also, isn't it funny that a band, who claimed to wanting to save their fans' lives, attends a suicide themed party?

I'm not stupid and I know that a person, who tells everyone in public that they're feminist and want to fight sexism, is still likely to use the word 'cunt', slut, whore etc., but the thing is that they shouldn't be so FUCKING STUPID to get caught doing so IN PUBLIC.
The same goes with telling fans in public that they're taking their fears and problems seriously and that they are here to save their lives etc. and then go and attend a party wich clearly mocks the act of committing suicide. And again IN PUBLIC.

How fucking stupid must they be that the assholes of MCR always get caught by contradicting every single statement of the past?

Anonymous said...

Well, you have to consider that this is a band (MSI) who thinks they can redefine words like "cunt", "faggot", "nigger", etc. by using them a lot. And Lindsey thinks she can redefine feminism. I suppose they think by poking fun at suicide they can redefine it as well.

That just goes to show you how stupid they really are.

Anonymous said...

That probably did have something to do with it. I also think Billy realizes that Courtney is a lost cause and he doesn't want to be associated with her anymore. After all, the woman is regarded as a joke in intelligent circles (which automatically excludes MSI and Gerard, who don't have one brain cell between them).

I imagine Billy wasn't terribly thrilled with Courtney's "how dare you make my little nine year old girl (or whatever age she thinks she is) cry!" guilt trip either. That just made Frances seem like a spoilt brat who always gets her way.

^^ Well, I'm from central Jersey and I'm a senior in highschool, most of the kids in my school detest MCR, or like them but probably won't admit it. But the reason why I said that is because most of my friends were avide MCR listeners, (maybe that's why we became friends) and they don't seem to mind this new change that they have gone under... Even though, I explained my point of view the best way I could.

They don't mind MCR changing and I don't either but I don't want them to change into something negative or tey to be something that they are not...and they don't seem to see the negative aspects of their changes.

I don't know, sometimes I feel that I'm making a big deal out of this, but honestly... I already miss the old MCR, from Bullets to the Black Parade. I don't know, I just have a feeling that it's never going to be the same again. That's what really sucks about it.

And of course their attitudes make it worse.

I was never interested in 'The Used'. Probably, because I saw Bert on 'The Osbournes' behaving like a famewhore using Kelly to call attention to his band and looking like a smelly hobo all the time.
I just remembered that interview excerpt with him talking about why he and MCR are no longer friends, which an anon posted here yesterday.
Is there an official 'The Used' fansite comparable to INO, which might be watched by the band and on which messageboards the fans discussed the 'break up'?
What did they think about Bert and Gerard not being friends anymore?
And where did Quinn say that Gerard is still a coke whore? Was it on some 'The Used' message board?

I don't think fans of The Used were ever the type to discuss the bands' personal lives on the internet like MCR's fans did. They were really more into the music than anything else.

I think most of their internet exposure came in the form of all the Bert/Gerard slash that sprung up because of the "relationship" between those two.

From what I remember, the two girls met The Used backstage at one of their shows. They had taken a tin of brownies with them and shared them with the band. They started chatting with the guys and somehow MCR came up in the conversation (I think maybe they had played the same venue not long before or something like that) and Quinn started off a rant about how full of shit Gerard is and how he was still a total cokehead. He even drew a picture for them (I think on the brownie tin?) of some guy with weird, coked out eyes. One of the girls posted the picture on her lj of the tin and her ticket that Quinn had autographed.

All of this happened sometime in 07. I'm thinking shortly before PR, but I could be mistaken about that. It might have been a bit earlier in the year.

Thanks anon for your hard work in finding that.

You know what? I want so much to believe that GW is a coke head fucking twat, but in this scenario I can't help but think that Quinn was out of it and spilling some anger. He was SO out of it.

That doesn't mean to say that I don't think GW has used drugs since, but I got the impression there that Quinn was just spilling his inner drunken Demons over a friendship lost.
Or maybe just protecting Bert as well.

Whatever.

End of the day I'm not happy with the way MCR fucked us all over, but I'm not sure if GW has or is using at all. I am disappointed in everything but I'm with the anon yesterday, he really loves her, each to their own, I don't get it. But that's OK.

Hope he doesn't get hurt, hope the baby turns out fine. I'm kinda over it all, no bad feelings, but as far as the band, I really can't be bothered anymore.

Anyway it was great having the space to spill and share over these last few months.

It has been my experience that when people get drunk they often lose their inhibitions and tell the truth.

Besides, that isn't the only version of that story. The girl who posted on mcrumorcontrol was initially hesitant to say she believed Quinn, probably because she knew she would get flamed, but she has since said that she does believe it.

Also, if the whole thing was just over a friendship being lost, why would Quinn make up a story like that? It really does not make sense.

I'm with the anon yesterday, he really loves her, each to their own, I don't get it. But that's OK.

I don't really get what Gerard loving Lindsey has to do with any of this. I thought this blog was about Gerard's behavior towards his fans and about him turning his back on the things he used to claim the band stood for. It was never about him falling in love and getting married. It's like you're just bringing up the 'JUS JELLUZ' argument every time that gets mentioned.

I don't care whether Gerard is in love with Lindsey or not. I don't care if he's in love with Jimmy Urine's grandma. It's never been about his love life for me and it never will be.

I think he lied about a lot of things. He's not friends with The Used anymore and from the looks of things, he's not friends with a lot of the bands that helped them along when they were starting out. In my opinion, all that points to many of the things we've come to suspect about him here being true.

I agree. I've noticed quite a few people coming here to point out that he's in love with her and to me it seems like they think they're getting little digs in at us with that.

To all of those people:

I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHETHER HE LOVES HER OR NOT!

I don't care what he chooses to do with his private life. It was when his private life started to impact the band that all the problems started.

What part of that don't people understand?

Anon, thanks for that link. It was an interesting read.

It has been my experience that when people get drunk they often lose their inhibitions and tell the truth.

I second that! In Germany we say 'Kinder und Betrunkene sagen immer die Wahrheit', which means 'kids and drunks always tell the truth'.

I'm with the anon yesterday, he really loves her, each to their own, I don't get it. But that's OK.

Well, I don't think he loves her. Firstly because they're not together long enough to 'love' each other and secondly, I doubt that this guy can love anybody but himself.
I guess he has a crush on her and lusts after her but other than that she is as disposable for him as every other person in his life.
I bet that if it wasn't for the band, he wouldn't even be talking to his band mates anymore, but he has to deal with them in order to make a living.

sally said...

afternoon everyone :)

i'm not going to speculate whether he is partaking of certain substances, but i do believe that if you battled these demons once, you tend to battle it for the rest of your life. relapses are common, especially in times of stress. hopefully he has the fortitude to reject this form of coping, and he is settled in his personal life.

which brings me to the other point. i really don't think anyone cares whether he is in love with his wife, although i do think if he was in love with JU's grandmother that would be a damn sight more interesting read, than the conversation about ms ballato *smirks*.

i get the impression that he changed so much to impress his mrs that he compromised the integrity of the band, and in a sense lost the identity of MCR. or their old identity to say the least.

we really don't know the full story about the friendship breakdown with the used, only snippets. i guess we will never know. but he seems the type that tends to get immersed with the personalities that surround him at the time.

besides, you can never really go back to the past. things change. if this was just a phase in the life of the band, and they wanted to revive the essence of the old band, it would have to be completely on a new footing, and a new relationship between the fans and band, would have to be developed.

anyway, there is my two cents :)

have a wonderful night!

Exactly, although the changes were already beginning even before he hooked up with Lindsey, although they did seem to snowball when he started trying to impress her and her band.

What it boils down to is that he chose his new friends over the values he once claimed to represent. It's his life, his band, and if that's what he wants to do, he's perfectly entitled.

Just like I'm entitled to be disappointed in him and to refuse to buy any more of MCR's records.

I'm sure they heard GW going on and on about being clean and sober and they had to call him out on that. GW probably did drugs with them.

I don't see what your problem is with either Gerard, the rest of the band, MSI or Lyn-Z. My Chemical Romance is in the business to sell records, not change the world or be your personal heroes. Get it? A Business.

My Chemical Romance is always changing. For a while they were talking about being a gang and saving lives. Then they were about getting sober. For a long time, they were the band who talked about equality for gays and women. It was always a gimmick. So what? All bands use gimmicks to sell records. For a while they were about costumes, makeup, and arena rock. Now they're not going to hide behind costumes and makeup anymore. They're going to be outrageous and punk and not push any values or agendas. They want to be an anti-message band like MSI.

I think Gerard is taking cues from Madonna. It's not a bad idea, really. If he completely changes who he and the band are every few years, people won't get bored of them.

Did you people really think these guys cared about you and wanted to promote feminism or that they wanted to save a bunch of whiny emo kids' lives? Boy are you stupid.

Gerard and Bert seemed pretty tight during Taste of Chaos back in 05 and that was supposedly after Gerard had gotten clean. Remember all the vids of the two of them performing Under Pressure together then? The TOC Q&A on FUSE was after Gerard was supposedly sober and they seemed to still be friends.

So why did they suddenly have a falling out? To me it makes perfect sense that Gerard was still using drugs on that tour while going on about being sober. I think maybe Bert called him out on it and that's what caused the feud.

Speculation of course, but it makes as much sense as anything else.

If they never believed in what they said why say it in the first place? They must have known to attract an audience they have to have something novel and fresh. Gee, it looks like they hit a cord, because they got a lot of people's attention.

People actually are serious about the issues they used to speak out about. So now you're saying that in business anything goes. You can be a lying liar, have no scruples and cheapen yourself just to make a quick buck. Go MCR and their stupid management!

You know in other forms of business, if the shareholders or customers are duped by a company, there are legal repercussions if the product fails to perform the way the company originally promoted it.

They want to be an anti-message band like MSI.

Yeah right. MSI the anti-message band. Steve we're not fake to sell records is obviously telling a big fat porky! Aren't they fighting their isms too now?

I think Gerard is taking cues from Madonna. It's not a bad idea, really. If he completely changes who he and the band are every few years, people won't get bored of them.

What's Madonna got to do with this? She was never vocal about what she stood for, all she was interested is presenting some good entertainment. She changes her musical style and presentation, not her whole sense of self. She wasn't out to con a whole audience.

And you're kidding yourself if you think that everyone here wants them to stick to their old musical style.

Did you people really think these guys cared about you and wanted to promote feminism or that they wanted to save a bunch of whiny emo kids' lives? Boy are you stupid.

Um no, people with life experience know that is a fallacy, but it did give some, something to believe in, and made them less cynical about the world. But thanks MCR, it was all a sales ploy!!

We now know how low they can stoop. They are entitled to be cheap tactless people only interested in the money. After all, they're following GW's best friend, so it's not surprising.

No, not really. Not the fangirls anyway. Now that they are in the palm of this band's hands, they'll do anything the band tells them to do. They'll think anything the band tells them to think.

Gerard thinks MSI is a cool band? The fangirls think MSI is a cool band. Bob thinks it's okay to use the word "cunt"? Suddenly cunt is their new favorite word. Gerard thinks being punk and anti-message is cool now? They think punk and anti-message is cool. Don't believe me? Go read their twitters.

Well, as far as Warner is concerned, you've got that right. I'm truly shocked by their latest limited edition vest and bullet-shaped USB with extra footage that should have been on the TBPID DVD in the first place. Fifty bucks plus shipping and none of these kids are even going to be able to wear the vest to school because it has guns on the back of it. But I guess you're right, the fangirls will have mummy and daddy shelling out their hard-earned money for it.

This band and everything about it makes me sick.

Lets be pragmatic for a moment; in business the bottom line is the what counts, but it's always a balance between retaining a bridge between your creative integrity and money making.

It is a business for the record company. Bands and singers do it because they like to make music or have something to say. they were lucky enough to make it their career.

Bob Dylan didn't use it as a gimmick it isn't gimmick for rage against the machine. Maybe the people you like are that shallow but that doesn't mean that everyone is.

The problem with thinking that MCR wants to an anti-message band like msi id that GW still tries to say that they have a message. He even tried to say that msi had a message. Now even msi is trying to say that they have a message.

I think Gerard is taking cues from Madonna. It's not a bad idea, really. If he completely changes who he and the band are every few years, people won't get bored of them.

Madonna doesn't completely change who she is. She hears new sound and tries to add it to her sound. She always keeps the sex image going. That never changes.

Did you people really think these guys cared about you and wanted to promote feminism or that they wanted to save a bunch of whiny emo kids' lives? Boy are you stupid.

I didn't think they were my heroes. I just liked that a band was outer saying those things.

There are a good number of people who use their fame to try and help people.
Look at Brad Pitt. He is trying to help homeless people.

I think you are just a little kid who doesn't know much about the world out side of the shit msi feeds their fans.

Not everyone is a lying asshole who tries to make saving the world a gimmick to sell records. Not everyone is so shallow that they change their image every time the last one doesn't generate enough money.

What is a band like MCR going to do with credibility anyway? It's not like they're going to be the next Radiohead. They were never hand picked by bands like U2 and Radiohead to go on tour with them because of their unique sound (like Kings of Leon, for instance), and their limited association with Green Day could only take them so far. It didn't give them all that much in terms of credibilty, so they're going to have to be content to continue to milk their limited demographic which consists of teenage fangirls and depressed, sexually frustrated older women (which is, incidentally, very similar to the Twilight demographic) for all they can. Those people will continue to follow the band whatever they do, and they are willing to spend lots of money, so there's no point in them pretending to have values anymore. Gerard realized this halfway through the Black Parade tour when he went on his little "your dreams won't ever came true" rant.

They've accepted that they're just in this to make money. That's evident from their association with MSI and the current marketing techniques being used by Warner. They don't need and don't want fans like you. So why don't you just accept that and go away?

GW is full of shit and his rant about your dreams not coming true proves it. His dream of writing comics come true twice.


Here is the problem with milking your fans for all you can get. At some point they wise up and stop buying your crap. Especial your limited edition crap. It shows that you are just a flash in the pan band. It makes you look cheap and people will begin to resent you.

You should be careful when you try to throw insults like this around, "depressed, sexually frustrated older women " . Because they can just as easily be used to describe you. You know a depressed and sexually frustrated young person.

Maybe not, but there are very few Mother Theresas out there in the real world. I certainly don't think Gerard Way qualified, even when he was spouting his feminist, pro-gay rhetoric. Funny how I didn't see him campaigning for Obama during the election, nor did I see him fighting Prop 8, despite the fact that he lives in California. This leads me to believe that his earlier rhetoric was, like I said earlier, just a gimmick.

Have you considered the possibility that Gerard and the rest of the band are sick of having to live up to such unrealistic expectations placed on them by the fans? Yes, they made a few statements about wanting to make a difference in their fans lives, but I don't think they ever expected them to be blown up to such drastic proportions that their every move was going to be monitored and every statement they ever made in the press was going to be dissected and examined for evidence of lies. Now they just want to get down to the business of making music and money and they don't want to deal with all of this drama.

If you don't like them anymore, go find a band you do like. Or go immerse yourself in a good book or get addicted to some show on TV. If MCR is over for you, let it be over, but stop trying to convince the rest of the fanbase that these guys are the spawn of Satan just because they don't meet your expectations. Not everyone has the same standards that you all do.

I already brought the point up ages ago that he hasn't said shit about Obama being president. I also said something about him not saying anything about prop 8 when even FOB was able to say something.

To do good in the world you don't have to be Mother Theresa. You just have to want to help people. You can do that by speaking up about things.

We all know it was a gimmick and a shit one at that. I believe that if people are asshole enough to use saving people's lives and the fight for equality s a gimmick to make money they should be called out on that shit.


MCR's music has never been about social commentary like Bob Dylan's nor has it been politically charged like RATM. They write violent songs about zombies, prison rape and people returning from the dead to exact revenge on their enemies.

You don't have to always use your music as the voice. if you listen to a lot of the stuff on the first two albums, in a way it was social commentary. It was talking about how he felt at a certain point in time (supposedly). People liked it because not only did it sound good but it was something they could related to.

GOY wasn't a political song but he made it one with the video he did. We were at war and they were show how devastating it can be to lose some. It also showed how brutal it could be. Not the way saving private Ryan did. but it tried.

I usually read books when I am out and about. During bus ride or when I have to wait in a waiting room.

TV shows all the shows I usually like get canceled. And most of the stuff on TV is shit.

I do watch a lot of anime but I have to wait about a week for the new episodes to come out and they re only thirty minutes long so it doesn't take up much time.

The bands I really like right now are mostly Japanese bands and there is no point in getting to involved with them. Unless I travel to Japan I won't get to see them live. Also I don't have the extra money to spend on importing their stuff


If we were trying to convince the rest of the fandom that MCR were evil we would be like you and go to where they are.

The fans didn't place those e expectations on them. They did that themselves by saying that they wanted to save lives and such and they kept on saying it over and over again. Fans only expect what you show them.

Lots of people have drama in their lives and are still able to get down to business and make money.

As for them making money - do you know that most of the people here are above 18 and because of this, they can spend their money as they please. Whoever, teenagers have to get the money from mummy and daddy and sometimes they aren't going to be so generous to their offspring, especially in the current economic situation. So MCR will make money, just nowhere near what they used to. I think the lackluster sales on the VERY LE Watchmen vinyl proves that.

Okay, first off if they have such a huge problem with being "heroes" then by all means that they should make a statement about that, and start fresh from there, let the world know and their fans that they obviously don't want to save your life or make a difference! That they just want your money! They need to stop lying and simply just fess up their true intentions! I would respect them if they did that!

I am sick and tired of people always protesting that the fans were always the ones to place them on that pedestal! We didn't place them on a pedestal, they did! We just went along for the ride!!

And if they didn't expect something so drastic then they shouldn't have placed themselves on the limelight, MTV, magazines, etc and so forth, when Warner wanted to promote them everywhere they should have said no or gotten out of the damn contract!

i agree on the part you say they have the fangirls on the palm of their hand and if the band says killing birds is cool then the fangirls will think the same, but not all mcr fans are like that. there are a few fans out there who sitll have brains and can think by themselves.

Maybe. With that in mind, lets get back to it.

I think quinn was telling the truth. He might have been drunk off his ass, but he had nothing to gain from spilling the beans.

I hope Gerard has quit since the news of the baby, but somehow, I don't think he has. It's just one of those things that isn't that easy to give up. I think the same about Lindsey. Plenty of people have never let a child get in the way of their drug habits.

Comic book movie adaptation Watchmen has scored the biggest opening of 2009 after taking in an estimated $55.7 million (£39.8 million) at the U.S. box office over the weekend.

The adaptation of Alan Moore's celebrated graphic novel started strongly, taking in a whopping $25 million (£17.85 million) on its opening day.

The film, starring Patrick Wilson and Malin Akerman, opened in 3,611 cinemas across America on Friday - the widest theatre count ever for an R-rated film.

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail came in second with an $8.8 million (£6.3 million) weekend take and Liam Neeson thriller Taken was third. Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire came in fourth - 17 weeks after the movie was released in America.

Outside the U.S., Watchmen also scored big - it took in $27.5 million (£19.6 million) at 5,097 in 45 territories to claim the top spot at the international market too.

Gran Torino, Marley & Me and Slumdog Millionaire are among the other movies doing very well at the box office outside the U.S.


Not bad for a film that the critics slammed.

Anonymous said...

I saw Watchmen over the weekend and I thought it was good. I'm a fan of the GN, and like many other fans, I was very skeptical going in. I agreed with many who said the novel was virtually unfilmable, but I think that all things considered, it was done very well, except for Snyder's choice of music.

The casting was hit and miss. Jackie Earl Haley as Rorschach was brilliant, and had he been the only thing the movie got right, I think that would have been enough for me. He was that good. Patrick Wilson was perfect as Nite Owl II and despite what some have said, Billy Crudup was very good as Dr. Manhattan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan was perfect for the Comedian as well.

The soundtrack, however, was the film's major weakness. The music choices were very eclectic and sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't.

The worst choice was Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (good song, very bad fit) during the really awful sex scene. And boy, was that sex scene bad (especially when you consider that Patrick Wilson's extremely amazing ass did nothing to redeem it). People were actually snickering all during it (and not because of the sex). It was so bad in fact, that I think maybe Snyder intended it that way. It's the only thing that makes sense.

The second worst thing was MCR's awful butchering of Desolation Row at the end. It was annoying, obnoxious, and very fucking LOUD.

When all is said and done, I think the movie will be a success, but people will be talking about how Snyder's shitty use of music nearly ruined it for a long, long time.

I couldn't agree with you more. He's so much more that just a pretty *ahem* face. And Angels in America is an absolute must see for everyone. No kidding. If you have never seen it, get thee to a Blockbuster (or whatever place you rent DVDs from) NOW!!

Look at the facts.

1. Dubtown, tallicadude and all those other sock puppets suddenly show up to shamelessly pimp out all things MCR and they don't even stop when it's obvious that people have figured them out.

2. The band's "long break" turned out to be less than a year. They're already going back into the studio and doing that show in Japan this summer and all of this while Gerard has a baby on the way. Why?

3. All of the ridiculously overpriced LE crap that Warner is pushing on the fans. It's as if they're afraid the fanbase is going to dry up and they have to make as much money off the guys as they can while they can.

I think Warner must have spent a shit ton of money marketing TBP and they haven't recouped it all.

I know. It's fantastic. Definatley see Little Children. You see more of his, erm, faaacccee, in that too. Not that's why I like it, I don't find him attractive just incrediably talented.

If I was Lindsey, I'd be so mad. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

I wonder if they'll be doing any more touring/gigs so soon. I hope not. The baby needs to bond with "it's" dad and I don't think they'll take "it" on the road so soon after "it's" birth, if at all.

I think they spent to much on pryrotechnics (sp?). Those things can't be cheap. I think they are either in debt to the studio OR they realise MCR could potentially be on the way out, so they're milking the cow while they can for everybody's sake.

Thanks. I've heard good things about Little Children and I don't know why I haven't seen it yet. I'll definitely check it out. :)

I absolutely hated his character in Angels in America, although I felt sorry for him too. I think that's when I realized what a great actor he was. Oh, but that film is so full of magnificent performances: Mary Louise Parker, Justin Kirk, Jeffrey Wright, Al Pacino and, of course, Meryl Streep. I nearly died when I realized she was the rabbi who officiated at Louis' grandmother's funeral! Wow, I'm so going to dig out that DVD and watch it again tonight.

If that's their message, then they can shove it up their asses. If there's any room left up there along with their overblown heads.

He annoyed me too, I just hated the way he treated Harper. Louis was by far tha most annoying person. He was just so weak and couldn't deal with anything plus dumping Pryor after he's just be diagnosed with AIDS was beyond shitty. I couldn't believe that the same people played so many different characters either.

Oh, I know. I wondered what in the hell Pryor ever saw in him in the first place. He was such a wimp, too. I have to admit, I kind of loved it when Joe beat the shit out of him, even though it was really a shitty thing for Joe to do.

I adored Pryor and Harper and Belize and Mother Pitt. They were such wonderfully well-developed characters.

Anyway, after I watch Little Children, we'll have to talk about it, too. :D

People keep talking about MCR's "message". What exactly is this message? When I listen to the music I don't get anything from it in the way of a message. Does somebody want to explain the message in "Prison" or "Honey" or "Venom"? The only things I've ever been able to interpret as inspirational in any of their songs is maybe the "I am not afraid..." line in FLW, but that was just a something that a character in the song felt. So where does the whole inspiration thing come from?

^^ HA! Yeah I'm with you on that one.

And the worse part for me was that there was a couple with a child in front of me when I was watching the movie and this kid had to be 8 or 10, and his parents didn't even try to cover his eyes.

I'm 18 years old and I still can't watch a sex scene with my parents. ( I don't think I ever will or want too) LOL. It freaks me the hell out. Espacially one that is so damn awkward.

There must of been a lot of explaining that night to that child about what sex is and how you have sex since it was so beautifully illustrated in front of him that night.

To be honest, it sort of makes me think about how Gerard and Skank-Z are going to raise their child/ren...

I can totally see them doing that.
Heck! Their going to take their kid to their mommy's show one day and that's sort of provactive... The way she flashes her mudflaps to the world that is... ;D

I wonder how their going to explain those events to their kids, if they happen to deal with that when their that age.

The message came from things he had said in interviews or in between songs. You know the bullshit about wanting to save lives and how the music saved his life.


A lot of people could relate to what he was saying in the songs. It was the I lived through the shit I am singing about you can to aspect of the music.

I don't understand why any parent would take a child to that film, not only because of the sex, but the violence. This movie shows people getting their limbs chopped off, heads being split open with meat cleavers, hot grease being dumped on someone's head; and then there is the very graphic and violent attempted rape, not to mention all the talk of nuclear war. That would be enough to give a kid nightmares for weeks on end.

And yes, Gerard and Lindsey would probably take their kid to see it, along with Uncle Jimmy and Auntie Chantal and Auntie Frances.
