"I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become"
It's great when rock stars who drink and have done drugs and maybe still drink, get together to create "rock royalty"..... Congratulations and good luck.

«Oldest ‹Older 3201 – 3400 of 4356 Newer› Newest»You all are holding MCR's members and MSI up to ridiculously high standards that nobody can live up to.
That right there is bullshit. There are plenty of people out there who are in bands and married to people in other bands who don't use their more famous lovers to get ahead.
The lead singer from Peal Jam his wife is in a band but from what I have seen they keep their bands separate. If you are married to another artist and want to be taken seriously you don't use your famous lovers name to get noticed.
It doesn't matter to me if one of them is boinking the lead singer and the other one is a member of that successful band himself.
They both would never get that kind of attention with their crappy bands if it wasn't for their connection to MCR.
That is true. But Frank using MCR is like us using a previous job on our resume.
MJ, are you sure about Eddie Vedder's wife? O_O I know his ex wife was in Hovercraft back when Vedder was sticking to his standards, too. He's another one who pissed me off. He talked up women's rights like there was no tomorrow and he wrote a scathing song about the fashion industry and the ridiculous and disgusting standards set by unhealthy fashion models.
And then he left his wife and married a fashion model.
You all are holding MCR members and MSI up to ridiculously high standards that nobody can live up to
I also wanted to add that it isn't ridiculous to expect people to live up to standards that they set for themselves. The only people who say that it is to high of a standard to expect people to keep their girl friends bands separate from theirs are lazy people.
It also took a lot more effort for Gerard and Lindsley to go out and let the world know that they were together.
They had to make t shirts, write on themselves and bring it up int interviews.
FRank just has to say hi I am Frank and someone will ask about MCR
It was a while ago that I heard talk of her. I don't follow him that closely.
I agree that Gerard and Lindsey acted like assholes at PR, and I also can't deny that Gerard has seemingly gone against everything he ever said he believed in. I wouldn't defend him for the world.
But I still think you're being too hard on Frank and Lindsey. Lindsey never said she believed in anything and I can't see how Frank has been a hypocrite.
That is true. But Frank using MCR is like us using a previous job on our resume.
True that, MJ. But you only have your previous jobs on your resume and not your current one. Otherwise you wouldn't need another job.
What I want to say is that he should have left MCR for LM or he should have waited until they split up.
I think anybody in a band will use anything they can to get their name and music out there, whether it's being in another band, who they're fucking, who they're related to, you name it.
Anon, I think MCR made it very clear that since PR there's nothing more important to them as the so-called rock credibility they're desperately trying to get!
And for people who want to earn such thing becoming successful and famous because of your above mentioned reasons is totally out of question, don't you think?
That is right Lindsay never said she believed in anything so how the hell is she now an inspiration.
If Lindsey can't that the shit that she deals out with her bands music being thrown back at her she needs to get off the stage. She can also prove that she is more than just a pantie shot character by showing people that she can actually play the bass.
It is a fact of life that if you get somewhere with out doing the hard work to achieve you place people are going to treat you poorly. No matter if you are famous or not.
Siobhan some people work more than one job so they will have their current job on their resume.
I don't think he need to leave MCR. I know that a few members of AFI are in other bands besides AFI. Jared Leto is an act as well as being in 30STM. People do side projects all the time it doesn't mean you have to leave the main band.
I think Lindsey just pulled that inspiration stuff out of her ass because she found herself to be suddenly the center of attention and she didn't know what else to say.
Poor thing doesn't seem to be terribly bright.
Well, in America it may be the case but it's very unlikely here.
I think you can't compare Jared's acting with his music career. Also, I just wanted to say, again, that if Frank wants his band to be seen isolated from MCR it would have been better if he left them etc. etc.
I read here that Lindsey suffered from a collapsed lung a few years ago and I was curious as to how that happened because it reminded me a lot of Amy Winehouse and I was wondering if Lindsey was a crackhead too in the past.
So I googled her and came to a Lindsey fansite. I never ever expected that there is such thing as a Lindsey fansite, hahhahaha.
If you want to have a laugh then go there and scroll down to her quotes!
Um, doesn't she contradict herself there a couple of times?
And what's a "preformer?" Lol.
Exactly, anon! LOL
"if more people just tried, just simply tried, it's not about being good or bad, it's about having the courage to put yourself out there."
What an important lesson to all future artists. It's okay to suck, just as long as you do it. It worked out for Eliza, after all. ^_^
I'll remember that when I'm working with my patients at holistic medical school, Lindsey! Thanks!
Gerard likes em dumb, doesn't he? I didn't think he could do dumber than Eliza, but there she is, in all her dumbass glory.
Preformer, indeed.
Siobhan no matter what Frank does he wil always be know for MCR. Leaving MCr wouldn't have stop people in the media from connecting them. It may have made things worse.
Lynz can play in any band. Alright than here is a list of people you will have to replace playing in their bands for.
1. 1. Eric Czar
2. 2. Steve Bailey
3. 3. Donald "Duck" Dunn
4. 4. Greg Rzab
5. 5. John Myung
6. 6. Creamo Liss
7. 7. Les Claypool
8. 8. Jaco Pastorius
9. 9. Nathan East
10. 10. Stanley Clarke
11. 11. Victor Wooten
12. 12. Will Lee
13. 13. Marcus Miller
14. 14. Pattitucci
15. 15. Paul McCartney
Now prove us all wrong lynz. Prove that you can play the bass. That is all you have to do. Really play the bass.
It is easy to get up and play badly in front of four thousand people especially if they aren't paying attention to you.
That isn't much of a dare either and it isn't very inspirational given the whole first half of American Idol is nothing but people who can't sing going up in front of what will be millions of people.
In this day and age Mrs Way people can upload video of themselves playing badly on youtube and it will go around the world. So stop thinking you are the shit for getting up in front of four thousand people after only two weeks.
"i am not a fucking superstar bass player..."
"I'm an awesome bass player, and i can play bass in any fucking band. Nobody can do what i do, and i'm really annoyed that there is a fucking general attitude that i can't play"
LOL What?
Okay, when I read this quote:
LynZ: "I'm an awesome bass player, and i can play bass in any fucking band. Nobody can do what i do, and i'm really annoyed that there is a fucking general attitude that i can't play"
I couldn't help but be reminded of this quote:
Jeff Portnoy: "Let me tell you something, a lot of people disrespecting me. They say that the movie is about farts. It's about family, and fuck you. You can't do what I do."
Do you think she has any idea how stupid she makes herself look?
Oh noes! If nobody can do what Lindsey does, then however will MSI manage this next year while she's not with them?
I'd love to see Lindsey try to replace Flea from RHCP or Tim Commerford from Rage Against the Machine.
Wow, her head has gotten pretty big. As far as just trying something and not being good at it. Have you heard most elementary school bands. For real they are bad but they have at least attempted to get better at playing. Not just say they suck and that is it.
No one is saying you shouldn't try because you aren't good at something. But most people will think you are nothing more than a joke if you just get up there and suck with out trying to be good at it.
It is about the effort you put in not just getting in front of a lot of people.
Oh noes! If nobody can do what Lindsey does, then however will MSI manage this next year while she's not with them?

I was thinking a cardboard cut out of Lindsey and a tape play of a cat in heat.
I was thinking a cardboard cut out of Lindsey and a tape play of a cat in heat.
Lol. That sounds about right.
Also, how deluded and how full of herself must she be that she really thinks that she's a role model for young girls?
That's unbelievable!
I think that's why we really need more women in bands so that young girls are given the chance to really compare and distinguish the fakers like Lindsey from the ones who really know how to play their instrument.
I am of the opinion that apart from being married to Gerard she has this following of young girls because there are hardly any female rock musicians out there.
So they see her as their idol because she's there and not because she is talented.
OH MY GOD, anon, I always think of that Jeff Portnoy line too, when the MSI camp starts in with their "OMG WE'RE SOO LIKE VALID!!1111" junk.
I guess it's just so obvious. ^_^
Here is a short list of female bass players. Some of them are very talented.
# Nikki Monninger
# Kira Roessler
# Kim Deal
# Kim Gordon
# Kathy Valentine
# Tina Weymouth
# Mary Shelley
# Suzi Quatro
# Zia McCabe
# Paz Lenchantin
# Natalie Maines
# Gail Greenwood
# Debbie Googe
# Gail Ann Dorsey
# Melissa Auf der Maur
# D'arcy
"i'm really annoyed that there is a fucking general attitude that i can't play"
I think she's on to us hahah. Well, maybe if it bothered you so much, Lyndsey, you shouldn't have said it yourself. Fucking dumbass.
Exactly. Why tell everyone you can't play and it's okay to suck, then get annoyed when people say you can't play and they disagree that it's okay to suck? Umm, yeah.
Martha, Tina Weymouth FTMFW. She's one of my favorite bassists of all time. She pretty much rules.
But where are they, MJ?
Where's Paz, D'Arcy, Melissa etc.?
Are they touring? Are they out there?
And Suzie? Is she touring?
You forgot about Sean Yseult! I haven't heard anything about her since White Zombie.
Siobhan I don't know where they are unfortunately they aren't young and whoring themselves out so the media ignores them.
On another note Lindsey must also remember that the only reason she play in front of 4 thousands people after only playing for two weeks is because she was a replacement. Who got into the band because she almost set the stage and singer on firer.
No self respecting band would ever get a crappy bassist who can't play to permanantly join their band just because said "bassist" is a pyro. MSI really are lunatics, aren't they?
So did she sabotage someone to be able to join the band, or what?
From what she said she told msi's manger or something she could play. She couldn't. She went to the try out and sucked so bad that Steve turned his back on her. So she took out her, I don't know what it was but she was carrying a container of drink and did the pyro thing.
I think she claims she had a film cannister full of Bacardi in her bra and a matchstick in her pigtail...
Something tells me that Gerard isn't the only person who "lies a lot."
^What you don't carry Bacardi around in your bra?
Neither do I. I guess I'm just not hxc. :(
Classy woman! And not at all desperate for a job in a trashy band!
OR a drunk
Why didn't she apply for a 'Coyote Ugly' bartender job?

My guess she would have to bathe in order to get that job.
Oh yes, damn it! I forgot!
Did anyone of you notice that the site is called Lindsey bass princess???
Hahahahahahahahahhaahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Ugh, my stomach hurts!
I must have already gotten a sixpack for laughing so hard at those morons!
Lindsey bass princess
Because in fairy Tales the princess is useless and has to wait for the prince to come and save her.
This goes to show you the intellect of the girls who worship LynZ. They're of the Some Day My Prince Will Come mentality.
What do you think, how many men must have died trying to get through her thorn bush until prince Fierce arrived on his monkey?
lol
None.
omg, this cracked me up!
"I'm not the fuckin' pretty one. Like, that's my role? Fuck you! Fuck you, Triple times! Do you have these readers adresses?!"
it made me think of that time some lindsey fangirl came here and told us all to watch out because there was a tracker on this blog.
oooh, i'm so scared. lindsey is going to get our addresses and come and kick our butts! lol.
Yeah, she's totally right. She's not the pretty one!
I didn't know that another idiot in Mindless Chemical Selfromance is breeding too.
*shudders*
1:34 - Seriously? She really said that?
Umm, am I the only one thinking of Jay and Silent Bob going door to door beating up everyone who made fun of them on the internet? O_O
Umm, am I the only one thinking of Jay and Silent Bob going door to door beating up everyone who made fun of them on the internet? O_O
That's exactly what I thought of! I totally visualized Lindsey stomping on people with those big boots of hers, while Gerard hides behind Worm!
There is a funny smell at my door. Lindsey must be here to beat me up.
Lol. No, I doubt it, Martha. Like Jay and Silent Bob, she'd probably only go after little kids. You might actually hit back. ^_^
I get an image of Lindsey hitting people with that bass she wears as a necklace. That might do some damage.
Well, I suppose her bass is good for something other than window dressing.
OMG no wonder he married her! She's as stupid and egotistical as him. Perfect match.
To bad it isn't for music. some where out there is a person who could have done great things with that bass.
Why do I get the impression the next thing he's gonna be flapping his gums about is her amazing bass playing?
Courtney love already beat him to it. She said she can play like a motherfucker.
I don't think anything CL says is taken credibly. It doesn't surprise me CL likes her. Like attracts like.
That didn't surprise me either.
It seems like the whole Leathermouth/MSI thing was quickly gotten over.
I wasn't much into LM. It wasn't like I lost a band I was listening to. But I was disappointed in Frank for doing that.
That woman is a laughing stock. I would take it as an insult if someone like her would compliment me.
Do those poor sods really think that being associated with that mentally ill woman is going to contribute to their career in a positive way?
How tragic!
According to them she is rock royalty. And crazy gets you way more attention than sane.
Now it's almost like it didn't happen. They deleted all connection about MSI on their site. Didn't they a have a blog about "my friends"?
I guess thinks didn't work out as well as they had hoped.
things not thinks
CL is rock royalty? How? Was Hole that great? Or was it because of Kurt?
Perhaps they don't want to be associated with them.
I am going to go with Kurt. But it is also msi that considers her rock royalty.
I don't even consider Kurt rock royalty. That seems like something he would have been against.

December 27, 2008 3:44 PM
Than why play four shows with them?
From everything I have read about Kurt, I would tend to agree. And whatever MSI think could never be taken seriously. They're a bunch of clowns.
But clowns are entertaining.
Maybe someone made a satirical comment about Jamia and it was the first time Frank couldn't laugh about their oh so funny jokes?
Than why play four shows with them?
Who really knows why?
That's very possible, Siobhan, it's never funny when the joke's on you or someone close to you.
Not those clowns. They're more the ridiculous variety.
I just went to the German Metal Hammer site because I was interested in how people in Germany are reacting to MSI so far and they posted some video of them.
Most of the comments are of the same tenor: Was issn das fürn Scheiß?
Meaning: What's that crap?
LOL. They are like the people you would get on an MTV reality show.
They are named appropriately, because Mindless is exactly what their drivel is. To adults who can disassociate from their terrible lyrics. It's the young people impressionable people I'm concerned about.
Hahahha on Wiki, Lynz is named as Mrs. Gerard Way, she must love that lol.
That worries me as well. They are going to start coping those peoples acts. We are going to have a whole bunch of girls in bands who can't do anything but be blow up dolls.
Than their is the lyrics they use. I love the word fuck and I love a dirty song. But there has to be more than fuck, hard, tit, pussy, dick, c*nt, ass, suck and balls.
I was on a site earlier where somebody was going on about how "deep" the song Mark David Chapman is.
It amazed me that some person was actually analyzing the song as though it were a piece of poetry or something to find Jimmy's true meaning.
I read about that song on that Metal Hammer site and it says that Jimmy said something along the lines of Chapman killing the god/hero of music and letting all the other losers live.
I immediately thought Yeah, right! Losers just like you.
Than their is the lyrics they use. I love the word fuck and I love a dirty song. But there has to be more than fuck, hard, tit, pussy, dick, c*nt, ass, suck and balls.
If all the rumors about the substances they use are true, I think all the neurons in his brain have been extinguished. Or it's just a giant fuck you to the music industry as a whole. Only now the jokes on him, cause he has to conform to their rules to sell music.
And they still aren't selling.
Guess the whole lets get a dumb, high profile rockstar to shout us out thing didn't work too well.
All it does it make that big profile rockstar look bad.
I'm sure the high profile rockstar thinks he's got it made. They match in clothes, they have the same taste, say the same thing and she was born in Scotland, so they share the same background.
But he had to drop his nice image to get with her
I thought she was Italian
I don't wish them any ill will. I hope they are happy together and their baby is healthy. All I know is that I can't continue to support the band because I feel they misrepresented themselves to me from the beginning.
Apart from that, I wish them the best of luck and I hope Gerard manages to figure out just who in the hell he is and what in the hell he actually believes in, because I don't think he has a clue.
Who knows what she is? At one point the story was that she was Jimmy's sister. I don't think anyone knows the truth about any of the members of MSI.
She was said to be a lesbian and I heard something about her fucking JU
Read this article, if you can stomach it. It actually says Lindsey is Jimmy's sister. It also goes into details about the 'fiery audition'. It's on the top right of the last page, for those of you who don't want to wade through the whole thing.
Honestly? I don't believe anything these people have ever said about anything.
No wonder Gerard loves them just like him they keep changing their story
i bet she didn't even go to art school. they probably made that up too.
An anon posted that interview here in the early days of this place I remember the part about the black guy getting upset.
So, I suppose like that since we're not "in on the joke" we "are the joke" like the article says?
Oh well. I suppose I'm a joke, because I just don't get it and I never will.
I wonder how they magazine is still around because I have bought it a few times and it is always filled with misinformation.
I'm sure the band was telling people LynZ was JU's sister in the beginning because it made for a good story. After all, it's not about truth, it's about image, right?
I find that it is usually the people who say you just don't get the joke are the ones the joke is about. They are the ones who usually turn out to be fansheep just like a lot of the fan girls.
i don't know if JU is really Lindsey's brother, but i do know that bad tattoos run in her family. i saw a pic of her sister once on a blog and her sister has got some awful tattoos. they're worse than Lindsey's.
I'm sure the band was telling people LynZ was JU's sister in the beginning because it made for a good story. After all, it's not about truth, it's about image, right?
Yes, just like how Gerard first started the band because he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and then it was because of 9/11 and then a year or so later he actually saw the towers fall, but from a ferry, but no, wait, it was a train...
...and MSI gave them their big break and he and Lindsey were best buds so it was perfectly normal and logical for them to pick up their relationship right where it left off since both of them were suddenly single...
And apparently most of msi fans believe in their image. I guess that song stupid mother fuck is about msi laughing at their own fans for believing their shit.
Yeah, and I imagine Gerard and Lindsey and probably Frank, Mikey and Bob (not sure about Ray) probably all laugh at the stupid MCR fans who believe all their bullshit.
I think they are laughing more at the ones that still do.
I think we'll be the ones who'll have the last laugh.
I think so to
I'm not crazy about tattoos all over a man, let alone a woman. Too many look cheap.
You have to get a good artist and not just pick something out of a book
Yes, that helps. Not chickens! Japanese inspired or not!
Some people just don't look good with them.
Agreed. Also I think as you get older your taste change and then you are permanently stuck with them.
However I do understand the ones who select them carefully and are of great significance to them.
It's more like you are a living canvass.
From the few pictures I have seen of her, some of them almost resemble doodles.
Another reason why you shouldn't be drunk or high when you get one
I suppose they have to live up to the band's namesake.
Their medical bills must be high than. I am sure they have had many a mindless encounter that lead to some kind of VD.
Lindsey's chicken tattoo is f*cking scary!
It's fucking scary because it's so ugly
someone finds it erotic
Would that someone be a singer who wears unicorn shirts and writes love messages on their body.
perhaps
maybe the messages just add that little bit extra
like morse "love" code
I can see them doing it in their bed room playing lets write dirty things on each. Or directions of what to do with body parts. That would be fun. Write silly messages on your arm and neck to get back at your ex is childish.
if she participated in this nonsense, what has she got to do with the ex?
He never talked about the ex or the one before that. Than all of a sudden it's let me talk about my new girl friend. And let me write secret messages in public to my new gf.
Now as long as you don't tell the new one let do this to get back at the old one she might go along with it. Thinking you are doing it to be cute.
I don't find it cute.
all done out of love
huh?
Or what a person thinks is love.
she seems the type that enjoys writing on herself
i think i'd rather have some chocolate, or a glass of wine
when you're in love you dont need to do a whole show of it , or then it would look like yo uare doing it to prove something. you know like "HEY EVERYBODY IM IN LOVE REALLY! I AM!! LOOK AT ME" it's all spontaneous! when you are in love its so obvious you dont need to write stuff or wear a tshirt with the name of your beloved one or stuff like that.
i can't really tell, maybe they're really in love , i will give them the benefit of the doubt but.. gerard's reaction was really weird. he once said he was very secretive about his private life bla bla then suddenly he started to tell everyone about how much he loved his wife and this and that. very odd
Or chocolate body paint.
I don't believe in love at first sight, I think you are just horny.
chocolate body paint. yes...has a multitude of uses
rawksta's have to keep their image you know...chocolate body paint doesn't cut it.
I think it would. Maybe a little nutella you can use it for dipping.
I think it would cut it for the rawksta's image.
*laughs*
i was going to say what a waste a of a perfectly good jar of nutella
somehow i don't see many rawksta's carrying nutella.
they would probably stick their fingers in it and get them all sticky.
and then someone would how to lick them off...
hmmm...actually martha, you may be right *smirks*
maybe they already have those sort of people on their entourage...
what could you call them?
hygiene specialists?
professional absorbers?
Ew, my gag reflex is going on overload here, people.
unfortunately true rawksta's are ew
Dude I forgot those two don't like to bathe. EWW is right.
Not all rawksta some may like to be clean.
there's rawksta's
and then there are professionals in the music industry
big difference
And then there are glorified strippers who substitute an instrument for a pole.
Something tells me that once the baby is born, Gerard isn't going to be all that keen on Lindsey flashing her, um, goods to fourteen year olds onstage.
How much you want to bet he at least tries to talk her into quitting MSI?
If it doesn't bother him now why would it bother him after the baby.
maybe it's already happened 10:43
i'm sure there will be many more babies to come
If it doesn't bother him now why would it bother him after the baby.
Sometimes men get weird after their wives have children. It's hard for them to see them as a mother and sexual at the same time.
IDK, Gerard just seems to me like he'd be one of those fucked up kind of guys.
I think that's why he's stopped going on about his amaaayyzing wife, tbh. She's not so amaaayyzing now that she's going to be a mom.
quitting msi would be a good thing for the baby.
That is true but you think he would already be upset with the fact that guys have been known to stick their fingers where they don't belong when crowd surfing.
Yeah, well, I'm not saying that Gerard necessarily makes sense. If he wanted her to quit MSI for the right reasons like the health of the child or because he doesn't like her being molested by fourteen year old boys that would be one thing.
I don't think he's that healthy emotionally, though. If he does want her to quit it would be for some fucked up reason like now that she's the mother of his child he suddenly doesn't think what she does is appropriate.
i doubt that 10:54.
someone mentioned to me something about getting hit by a truck
so i think he's crazy about her.
maybe he has just quietened down out of respect.
i'm sure that sometime in the future you will hear about the amazing wife and the amazing fruit of his loins too.
maybe he has just quietened down out of respect.
That's a joke, right?

But she would be giving up all her hard work. Seeing as no one can do what she does and she can play bass in any band. All that money she will be missing out on. And all the poor fansheep who won't have her as their inspiration.
no
getting hit by a truck, what?
explain?
This is the man who sharpied the date he first had sex with the woman on his neck. Respect? Pshaw.
I think someone he respects told him to shut up about the wife the same way they did with the sharpie love fest.
if he married her then he must have thought that what she does and who she was, was acceptable as the mother of his future child.
if he married her then he must have thought that what she does and who she was, was acceptable as the mother of his future child
Assuming that he is a reasonable, rational adult...oh wait. This is Gerard Way we're talking about here, so I think you can pretty much throw reason out the window.

In an interview he said that falling in love with her was like being hit by a truck. He had never felt like that before.
One other thing about that. If he know Lindsey from before why did he say he met the love of his life on the PR tour
maybe he didn't want someone reasonable and rational
a close friend described something he said publically about how he felt about Lindsey...something about trucks

I doubt he was thinking about having kids. I think he was to busy having fun.
Lol. Hit by a truck.
And Eliza was someone really special.
I don't believe anything the man says. Ever.
One other thing about that. If he know Lindsey from before why did he say he met the love of his life on the PR tour
Because he's full of shit and he just makes up things as he goes along.
is that what he said martha?
my, he is so truly fortunate to fall so much in love
looks like he was just waiting to join her again...
Lol, well, I wish him and his irrational, unreasonable love the best with their new child, because in my opinion, feeling like you've been hit by a truck when meeting someone totally qualifies you to be great parents. I'm sure they'll have 5 or 6 more kids and live happily ever after, just like so many other rockstars before them.
I remember seeing it on TV. I mean it could be that he was just saying that because it is easier than saying I reconnected with the love of my life. But in an earlier interview he said they just started back up from where they left off.
So, did he feel like he got hit by the truck when he met Lindsey years ago or when they met again on PR? Or were there two trucks? And how is this poor man still walking?
So, did he feel like he got hit by the truck when he met Lindsey years ago or when they met again on PR? Or were there two trucks? And how is this poor man still walking?
lol. he's a superhero who is being powered by true love. don't you know anything?
i'm surprised he didn't stay with Lindsey the first time they locked eyes.
being the love of his life and all...
No, Gerard, you got it all wrong. What kind of fucking Italian are you? Haven't you read the Godfather?
It's the fucking Thunderbolt, Dickhead. Not a truck. The Thunderbolt.
well, in his defense, he is only part italian.
LOL superhero. He is the rumor with the power to make fansheep believe his every word.
I'm sure they'll have 5 or 6 more kids and live happily ever after, just like so many other rockstars before them.
yes and in years to come they can have their own reality show. they both seem the type that enjoy those.
all about "punk" royalty
Honestly, I don't see how the man is still standing. In just seven short years, he's been hit by a truck twice, had a nervous breakdown, saw the twin towers fall both from a ferry and a train, kicked alcohol and cocaine cold turkey, and was engaged to Elizacuts.
Superhero, indeed.
^not to mention losing dear old grandma, his brother having a breakdown, and realizing he was unafraid to walk this world alone, resulting in his breakup with 'kat'.
fucking amazing.
This is what happens when you tell to much about your life. I shouldn't know all this shit.
that can be the name of his reality show
the amazing ways
This is what happens when you tell to much about your life.
This is what happens when you don't keep your stories straight.
I almost feel sorry for the stupid bastard.
I don't even think he cares about keeping the story straight. I really think he thinks very little of the fans so why would he have to keep his story straight. Until now not to many people called him on it. I know I would just dismiss it.
No, I don't think he cares, either, even though he's made such a complete fool of himself. Oh well. I suppose some people don't mind being perceived as fools.
With a wife who thinks it's a great accomplishment to play in front of 4 thousand people after only playing the bass for two weeks why would he care if he looks like a fool.
yes 12:08, i'm sure most people like to be made laughing stocks
I think you can't compare Jared's acting with his music career. Also, I just wanted to say, again, that if Frank wants his band to be seen isolated from MCR it would have been better if he left them etc. etc.
Sorry, I have to jump in here before I continue scrolling through all the comments or I'll lose my thought. I think you are being unfair to Frank when it comes to LM. Why can't you make comparisons between Jared Leto & Frank? If it weren't for Jared's acting no one would have given 30 STM any attention. He used his acting just as Frank is using his connection to MCR. Jared says he wants his music to be seperate from his career as an actor but he continues to make music and films.
Would you say that he should just pick one and then wait for one career to faulter before picking the other back up?
Frank isn't stupid, he knows that LM & MCR will always have a connection because MCR fans will automatically shift to LM because of Frank. I think what he really wants is for MCR fans to understand that LM is worlds apart from MCR. Maybe so they won't be dissapointed? I don't know. But as far as him being the center of attention, I think its a collective and mutual understanding within that band. Many of the members are former Pencey Prep members so its not like they haven't known Frank forever and are just letting him pull the strings. I think that Frank should have every opportunity to explore other avenues outside of MCR just as Gerard has with his comic. WHich again wouldn't have been given the time of day if it weren't for the MCR connection.
I agree with you, 6:15. I think Frank has every right to pursue another project outside of MCR and of course MCR's name is going to help him get recognition. Members of bands have been doing that for decades, although the second act rarely achieves anything more than novelty status. The same goes for Leathermouth. While MCR is not exactly mainstream, LM is even less so. I don't see it being hugely successful.
^well, no, especially not if lm is having to open for the likes of msi, i would say they are not likely to be successful.
I'm not too sure about the music business or how it works, though I know a lot of it depends on luck etc.
However I still think that 30STM would have gotten signed even if Jared hadn't been an actor. They might not have gotten so big, but they still probably would have gotten a record deal. Their music truly is great--all of them can play their instruments and play them well--Jared has a huge voice and he is suitably cute.
Leathermouth probably would have gotten a deal, too. I mean, MSI did, right? Leathermouth might not have gotten that big of a deal but they probably would have been signed anyway. I know they aren't to everyone's taste, but there is a group of people who's really into their sound. (One of my training brothers is in a similar sounding band and they're pretty popular locally.)
However, the publishing company is really stringent, and there is no way in this world or the next that Gerard could have pitched his idea to Dark Horse and gotten a deal without being Gerard Way from MCR. Ummm, a group of orphans with superpowers are raised by this mysterious guy and have to save the world? Gosh, where have I read that before? Could it be that I've read it everywhere?
His storytelling might be decent but he is by far the least original mind in comics today.
Gerard has said himself that he couldn't break into comics before he started a band. He was trying but he couldn't get anywhere and that made him depressed.

Yes, and he even brags on LOTMS about how the comic book industry would probably be willing to give him a deal "now" because he's famous.
TUA is decent, but the only thing it really has going for it is its quirkiness. Once the novelty of that wears off, I'm sure it will have its followers, but I doubt people will consider it anything brilliant. To me, it seems as though Gerard is channeling Grant Morrison, but a younger, hipper Grant Morrison who is more attuned to younger readers. Which is good, but it still smacks somewhat of fanfiction.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about knowing that other, more original stories were passed up in order to market mine.
I suspect that I'd kinda sorta dislike the feeling. Success isn't money or popularity, or at least in the art world it isn't. Or shouldn't be. I mean I suppose you take what you can get and all, but it would always irk me. In the back of my mind I'd be forever thinking I was mediocre. I'd just hate to be the Salieri of comics, you know?
Well, I read the first free few pages of it and I thought his writing was decent. I say "decent" and not "Eisner-worthy." There are so many better comics out there, which, quirky or not, are much more original.
I didn't actually like the free issue of TUA. I thought it read like something conceived by a 14 year old.
But, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check out Apocalypse Suite and was pleasantly surprised. It was considerably more polished than the preview comic (which isn't surprising), and I'm sure somebody edited the hell out of it to get it that way.
To be honest, I wanted to hate it, but I found myself pulled in. I've been reading it ever since.
Do I think it's Eisner material? No. Do I think Gerard had tons of help that other writers aren't privy to? Yes. But I figure that eventually he'll have to stand on his own and we'll see what happens then.
Yeah, I'm sure it's easy to guess that he's getting a lot of help from editors and stuff. I was never quite clear on how he was writing this thing while he was on tour and stuff. O_o
I'd never buy it because he doesn't get a penny from me anymore and I regret the money he did get off me, but hey.
My favorite Dark Horse comic is Blade Of The Immortal. Oh man, it's so fantastic.
I found the interview he did at comic con on that yacht with Scott Allie very strange. He said at one point how Gabriel is such an amazing artist he could have given him an outline and Gabriel could have turned it into a comic but he didn't want to do that, he wanted to turn in actual proper pages. As if, he had that option of not turning in proper pages. What writer has the choice of just turning in outlines and having someone else turn them into scripts - no one. Also when they are in that car on the way to his first TUA signing last year, they finished the script for issue 4 while in the car. Writing is something you do by yourself - not in a car with your editor. It just seems very strange, how much of this does he actually write. It seems that Scott Allie has an awfully big input into it.
I don't buy TUA either, Kapunua. I go to my local bookstore and read it there. Normally, I would never do such a thing, but like you, I've been boycotting MCR/Gerard ever since the "moan for me" incident last year.
I've never really gotten into Manga all that much, but next time I'm out, I'll check into Blade of the Immortal. :)
