..... and who supported your band from the beginning? Yeah right!
I have some catching up to do.
First things first. From a comment on Love Man's blog, from Buzznet, and from INO. Apparently Lyn Z has supported MRC from the start.
I met Lyn Z last night in London! Without doubt the sweetest girl ever. Shes just lovely and so kind to fans.
We talked about Gerard and she said theyve known each other for four years. Just wanted to quash rumours that they knew eachother for like a month before getting married... I reckon their love was blossoming a long time ago. And also she told me it was her who pushed for MCR to support MSI back in the day because she thought they were so great. So she helped them on their way.
Okay I'll go back to lurking now.'
This rings of desperation and backtracking. I heard tons of times that she wasn't even with MSI when MCR did some shows with them. And even if she was, they didn't do a lot of shows together. It sounds to me like both she and Gerard are reading the backlash concerning this new tour and are trying very hard to make it seem like all is well, like she had some kind of a hand in promoting MCR, that she "helped them on their way" (implying maybe that it's OK if MCR returns the favor for her band?) Which the drooling fangirls are buying wholesale. But to me, it sounds desperate and pathetic. Much like the guy she just married.
I think what bothers me most about this is how stupid they both seem to think we all are. THe sad part is that most fans really are buying this, and like I said, as long as the bands get their money, that's all that matters to them. But I'm insulted that they think we would all just go with this.
What else do I have to catch up on? I've been lurking around some blogs and talking to some of the commenters there. Apparently a few days ago Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday wrote a blog that sounds like it could have been about Gerard. This is the link. The important part seems to be this part.
"what's opposite of valor?
what's another word for...
"oh dont start that again..."
i know better.
you arent stupid...
("oh dont start that again...")
now are you?
"THE WORST THING for these kids to know is that i am..."
....hush little baby
dont play dirty
gonna play nice
positive
positive
(golly, gee.. stutter, stumble... false, false, negative...)
all reassured and well,
you had your warning...
who cares about the why
when when when
left with a choice to choose...
i say focus on the task at hand..
what again was the worst tha-a-a-ng?
i have been here since from the start
since from the start my friend...
i have just begun to speak...
love,
i have just begun...
everything i ever left out
will all be laid out...
...in time ...."
A few people thought that the 9-0-3 comment was about Gerard's wedding date, but it is also apparently the area code where Adam lives. Some people pointed out that it was hyphenated where "516" wasn't, but also remember that it was the last day of Project Revolution. It doesn't have to mean anything in reference to Gerard, but "Golly, gee" seems like it might. If that's the case, then it seems like "the worst thing would be for these kids to know is that I am..." might go back to Gerard, too. What would be the worst thing? It seems like if this is true, Adam might have seen some of the behavior that a lot of us are seeing.
Another rumor is that my letter to Bert as well as my comparison of Gerard to Kurt Cobain has gotten back to The Used camp. I doubt everything but I hope that's true. Has anyone with access to any of these people thought of just asking them after a concert or something? On the other hand, they would probably have to deny it anyway.
Another thing going around is a letter by commenter Kapunua on Mayo's blog. It's a little bit like what I was saying (Kapunua wrote to me and asked if she could use the quote of Gerard's where he talks about responsibility in lyrics..... (Like I said, nobody has to ask me if they can post anything I write. You can post it anywhere...) She followed it with an open letter to MCR. I was going to quote the whole thing here, but it looks like I don't have to. It is on Bleeding Chaos's blog, it's on Buzznet, it apparently went on the band's myspace too. The funny thing is how people are agreeing with it when it's pretty much the same thing I said that got people freaked out. Maybe she has a better way with words or maybe people are just starting to open their eyes.
Either way, the band will never answer that question, because they have truly sold us out. Or if they do answer, it will be some stock answer thought up by their PR people in advance. They'll make some kind of comment about MSI's lyrics being satire or something, and will brush off any questions about why they never thought any other bands with lyrics that Gerard objected to were satire also. We don't have an answer coming, because they don't care. They're making their millions and Gerard gets to drag his wife's band along and no one is allowed to talk to them about it.
This is what MCR has become.

I am so confused with the Lynz thing. I will tell you this I don't buy that story going around BN or INo for minute.
I too am confused.
It just seems like they're both trying so hard to convince everyone that they're truly in love.
Even if they did meet back in the day, how well can you know a person from 1 show?
I couldn't help but laugh when I read this part:
I reckon their love was blossoming a long time ago.
'Cause Gerard was single at the time, right? He most definitely wasn't with someone whom he considered the equivalent of a wife. Nah.
We argued this point on the thread that commenced on Buzznet. They know they both appear stupid, so now she is distorting and embellishing things just like her husband. And MSI helping MCR with their careers! Thats priceless!
Oh and another thing, At the beginning of PR, MSI were comparing MCR to Hitler, funny that clip has now been removed from You tube.
They both talk a load of shit.
"I have a goddess of a wife"
Please tell me that's not a quote from Gerard.
*grimace*
If I'm not mistaken, most of Verita's blog titles come from Kurt Cobain's suicide note??
Kurt Cobain thought he had a goddess of a wife??
Verita,
You pretty much sum up how I feel about the whole situation. Nobody is coming forward telling people the truth. People remain in the shadows only to peep their heads in and out to write cryptic shit on blogs- it's getting frustrating.
Yeah, if LynZ actually opened her mouth and said that...
Geezus, I have no words to describe the amount of horseshit that is- a Trillion pounds, maybe?
I mentioned last night that my Dad is a singer. He cut a few records in his day and he had (and still has) a beautiful voice. My Mom ripped this one off a 78 for me tonight. THere is a concert version of this too, but I like this one better. I even like the scratchiness of he 78.
This has always been one of my favorite songs ever. And the first time I heard Tony Bennet do it, it sounded weird to me because I'd only ever heard my Dad sing it before. I still like this version the best.
Gerard if you are reading, this song is for you.
"The joy that you find here you borrow."
The rest of you can listen too if you want. ^_^
Way to put this on the wrong blog. Sorry, Verita. Ignore / delete? SInce Mayo wouldn't delete my other comment? ;)
i wouldn't be surprised if mcr's management released that fan encounter. brian is smart enough to know that a huge part of mcr's fanbase goes on buzznet and ino. the mistake that he made was the fan was gushing over lynz a bit too much, like she was the perfect person. it just wasn't believable.
Kapunua, your dad has a kick-ass voice!
I have come to terms with the 'fact' that Gerard is a self involved man that feels worthless if he's not 'falling in love' with a new girl every other month. But what is bothering me now is why the rest of the guys in the band don't speak their mind! I am sure they are gagged by the people who represent them to a point, but MCR is THEIR baby too so I think they should speak up! I know in my heart that specifically Frank is pissed off and upset about all the BS taking place. So very sad!
WOW. What a bunch of shit. I'm pretty sure that Lyn-Z joined MSI in 2005. How could they help MCR along? My Chem is a thousand times more popular and better than Mindless Self Indulge.(sorry if I offended anyone, but that is the honest truth!) This whole mess is very annoying now.
&& I remember hearing about MSI comparing My Chemical Romance to Hitler, and I was shell-shocked. Really, there is NO comparison what-so-ever between those two!
Sorry, I've had a long and annoying day.=]
Just so tired of it all. Can't read any more of this shit. Don't want to see another concert. Can't even go back and listen to Revenge anymore.
The way I felt about this band helped get me through one of the worst times of my life, but it was all just a lie. The band I loved didn't exist and I know that now. I'm older and wiser and I know better than to put my faith in a guy with a microphone who spouts a bunch of lies onstage.
Goodbye MCR
^I'm sorry it's come to this for some people, but Gerard has only himself to thank.
Verita, I was the one who had sent Kapunua's letter to MCR's myspace and I had a friend do me a favor by posting it on Buzznet.
It is entirely possible that Gerard and Lynz met several years ago. They played 2 shows together in December 2003, one at the Irving Plaza NY and one at the Cricket Club, Irvington NJ.
I've been helping someone to compile a list of every MCR show and these are the only 2 i've found, and believe me i've been pretty thorough.
Whats not clear is who the headlining act was at these shows, I know who I would put my money on. MCR were already well established by the end of 2003 and had headlined the Irving Plaza several times before, so the idea that MSI somehow helped MCR on in their career is a joke.
And yes Lynz was definitely in the band at this point - its posible to get into the archive of the old MSI site and she is mentioned in news posts from around this time.
But as for their 'love blossoming'? Give me a break. They only played two shows together. If they were so close why did MCR never take MSI out on tour with them? MCR have always been totally open about what bands they are friends with and have toured with some several times eg taking back sunday, alkaline trio, thursday etc
So all this stuff sounds like bullshit from Gerard and Lynz trying to cover the fact that they got married when they barely knew each other, and also Lynz trying to make her band seem more important and somehow partially responsible for MCR's success.
The reason for MCR's success is down to five men, not some desperate fame-hungry bass player in a second rate band.
To anon @ 8:10 p.m. AND anyone else that thinks MCR saved their life:
I understand that when people are experiencing trials and tribulations in their lives, sometimes they need the small things such as music to help them get by day to day. But in the end it is YOU that picked yourself up and got through that dark time in your life! I hope that you give yourself credit for all the hard work that YOU put into yourself! Music is a large part of my life also but it is ME that learns to live on, and ONLY ME! All these people put so much faith in MCR to the point of thinking that they saved their life? WHAT? It is YOU that saved your own life and you should be damn proud of that!
Nicely put pale student.
Thankyou miss T. Sorry it was a bit of a rant!
But a good one.
Wasn't he still with Kat anyway.
Okay. So, Gerard and Lyn-z's love was blossoming when he wrote this:
"I kiss my girlfriend good-bye in our new apartment in Queens. I have barely unpacked my things, and the walls are a nauseating shade of yellow. Paint cans sit unopened, and a Labyrinth poster lies unhung, as I've only been off four days since our European festival run. The walls will be a cadaverous green when we finally get to paint them together. I hate leaving her."
That's a direct quote from a diary Gerard wrote for an issue of Spin - right before he left to go on Warped 05 - the tour where, supposedly, Eliza helped him stay sober. So, although he was still with "Kat", he was in the middle of a blossoming romance with both Lyn-z and Eliza.
Three chicks at once. Helluva guy.
^Writes like Mayo.
and supposedly later that year he began to string along that one girl that calls herself Tink...yeah right.
I find the song Lazzara wrote to be paticulary interesting...keep me posted.
I feel sorry for the girlfriend of 6 years. All the shit she went through with him and he breaks up with her. Wouldn't it be interesting if she wrote a book about their life together?
I feel sorry for the girlfriend of 6 years. All the shit she went through with him and he breaks up with her. Wouldn't it be interesting if she wrote a book about their life together?
Yeah, but I think she has too much class to do something like that.
thats really sad what he wrote about his ex. i really feel sorry for her, it must be horrid seeing him in all the music news and magasines knowing that you were the one with him from day one and helping him through all his troubles etc. and now seeing him jump from girl to girl and then get suddenly married. must be really hard. i think i'd bury my head in the sand and try to ignore it all, but that can't be easy.
^ I hope she finds someone stable.
Actually, I think that when I searched for Gerard Way LynZ on YouTube, a video on one of the pages said it was from 2004 or 2005.
I don't think they're trying to prove that they're in love to cover up that they are not, I just think that LynZ is struggling for acceptance from fans. I think she deserves better than Eliza comparisons. Seriously, you have to admire her for lasting through all those accusations. I know you hate her, but at least give respect where due. (like here)
Oh, and VV, your Kurt/Courtney comparison is a little off seeing as the proof that Courtney took part in his killing is not substantial enough.
Do not even get me started on Courtney Love. Would you like me to direct you to a website where there is plenty of graphic evidence to put Courtney behind bars for the remainder of her life? I can do that for you if you'd like.
And Shadows:
I'm pretty sure VV was looking at it through the eyes of people who think Kurt committed suicide. As it stands, that's really what happened. I'm not convinced though, so if you still want that website...
Mustard
Seriously?!
I'd never even heard that rumour.
Whoa!
Well, though Courtney Love isn't a major subject on an MCR related blog, I'd like that. Though all I've seen is small coincidences, and unsubstantial proof, I am nothing short of skeptical.
Update on INO: username Mrs.GerardWay4Real wrote a post titled "GERARD GOT MARRIED!" and the post said "TO ME!"
She says on her profile that she's 16. *rolls eyes*
You've never heard what rumor GS? About Courtney possibly being involved with Kurt's death? I'll post the link for you and Shadows.
There's two:
1. http://www.sshep.com/
kurtnew.htm
2. http://www.cobaincase.com/
#2 is the one I've found to be the most...interesting. Tom Grant was the private investigator hired by Courtney and has since been investigating the real death of Kurt. See for yourself and draw your own conclusions, but I find it very hard to believe Kurt committed suicide.
also look for dmdpt.com, or something like that. I think it was, because the title was "dead men don't pull triggers," which was a way of saying that Kurt had too much heroin in his system to have even been alive at the time of his supposed death.
I'll look at that, thanks! I've always found Kurt's death very interesting. Not his actual death, but the events surrounding it. What are your opinions?
Aw yeah Kapunua! That was the other one I'd looked at. I just didn't have it favorited. Thanks!
Here's the full URL:

I'm totally convinced that Kurt was murdered and have been since the day it happened, though I was never sure how much Clove had to do with it.
Hate her, though.
Well we can agree on that then :)
Some things infuriate me and the whole situation revolving around Kurt's untimely death is one of them.
Fred left TBS after projekt revolution. adam's blog could easily have been about him.
