"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.









(It's funny how Frances did become that "death rocker" and who encourages her to be that way).

did anyone here used to be a fan of the lynz and gerard relationship at first but over time they saw that something was up and they started to dislike lynz and the new gerard? am i the only one? im emberessed to say i used to be like some of the people you guys make fun of =[

I'm embarrassed to admit that i still listen to mcr but i dont like them in real life. It's like, liking a movie character but hates the actor.

I don't know about the others, but I was very sceptical about Gerard and Lindsey from the start.

For one, he had just gotten out of another engagement just weeks before. Secondly, he was behaving very erratically all throughout Projekt Revolution. Third, the marriage just seemed too rushed. I mean, why the hurry?

I never really disliked Lindsey and I'm not blaming her for Gerard's assholishness. I was and am concerned for his mental health, nothing more.

Regardless of why he's doing what he's doing, I'm still not buying anymore of MCR's records.

12:40,

My opinion is that people should want to contribute for a good cause instead having some idiot begging them to do it.

It's kinda like having someone tell you that you have to jump off a bridge.

These tweens really amaze me that they can't think for themselves. It's scary.

Anonymous said...

1:08, at the beginning, I thought Lynz was okay, she seemed like a good performer and a nice person. But then, I looked deeper into it and realized she was full of shit and a hyprocrite, much like Gerard. They both have a amazing way of making people believe they are good people on the surface, but if you really think about the things they say and do, you understand that they are not who they say they are. Too bad the fangirls are too obsessed to really look at the people they are idolizing.

Gerard has been doing a lot of interviews lately and no one has asked him about the fact that he's about to become a father. what's up with that? maybe Gerard has put a gag order on interviewers when it comes to the baby.

Anonymous said...

I don't really understand why interviewers wouldn't be allowed to ask about the baby when MSI was virtually shouting about it from the rooftops. Although, I suppose they did have to give fans a reason for Lindsey's absence.

It's possible that the type of interviews he's been doing as of late are just not focused on anything in his private life because most of them have been about TUA. I doubt the comic book crowd gives two shits whether he's having baby or not.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

As far as the public women In Gerard's life go. I never liked Eliza from the first time I saw her I knew she was bad but Lindsey I didn't start to dis like her until i found out more about her and msi.

Some of the things she has to say in interviews I would a agree with like not having to be great at what you do. But she takes it to the extreme with the whole not even trying to become good at it. Most of the big name women in music today are shit and can't doing anything but stand there and shake their tits and ass. I look to women who can play an instrument. You can't fake that you can play or you GTFO the stage. Than comes Lindsey who can barely play but is called a great bass player. It is insulting to both the women and men who have worked hard to become average, good and great musicians.


She reminds me of Paris Hilton all flash but with nothing of substance underneath. Unlike Shirley Manson from Garbage. I remember her once saying her guitar playing was shit so she started to get lessons.

I don't blame her for Gerard being an ass. If you remember there was talk of him being an ass when he was with Eliza. I do think that if she hadn't of shown up he wouldn't have acting out in the way he did.

Anonymous said...

I'm like you MJ, in that I didn't dislike Lindsey in the beginning. I think it was the "real musicans bore me to tears" bit that turned me against her.

As a musician myself, I felt a bit outraged. Music is my life. I spent countless hours of my childhood practicing (when I could have been out playing with other kids) and my family had to sacrifice to pay for my lessons. Her words felt like a slap in the face to serious musicians everywhere.

Anonymous said...

I agree 4:39, being a guitar player myself, I felt really fucking disguted with that comment. She insinuated that just because someone is a good musician, they can't be a good performer, which really offended me.

MJ, some people just aren't in the position to play and instrument. Lynz should feel lucky that she had the opportunity to, yet she took it for granted and didn't put any effort into it, which is pretty sad imo.

That's just the kind of thing that really ticks me off, MJ. Think of all the young people who would love the opportunity to learn an instrument if they only had one.

Here she has every opportunity and she just wants to do backbends.

When my nephew was about fifteen, he bought himself a crappy used bass at a pawn shop and taught himself how to play. He couldn't even afford an amp, but still, he practiced all of the time and he got quite good.

Now he's in a local band and he has a better instrument and a fairly decent amp. His band gets a lot of local gigs, but they still struggle.

I suppose instead of learning to play, my nephew should have learned to do a backbend and to set things on fire.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

That should say now not, not.

Yeah, it is irritating when someone who never really cared about playing, acting or what ever it is gets thrown in and worshiped especially if they still don't really care about it.

Q: Why is it that women in rock bands tend to play bass?

A: Bass neck is thinner so it fits nicely into women small hands. It is also an easy instrument to learn and play, so technically nobody needs a bass lesson to play simple rock songs. If Lyn-z can't play it, then she must be one hell of a poser musician.

Anonymous said...

Most people can "play" the bass after only a few weeks. But to be really good at it, you have to have an excellent sense of rhythm and an interesting technique.

I picked up the bass and could play about six songs in only a couple of days. That doesn't mean I'm ready to go out and be in a rock band, though.

Don't think the backbend does a lot for MSI's rhythm section. Oh wait... they have a pre-recorded backing track for that.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

On playing the bass I have talked to people who have played the guitar for 10+ years who can't play the bass. They said it was pretty easy but the way they had to place their fingers they found that to hard.

No one here is saying that you have to be perfect to play in a band. If you want to join a band just to have fun and fool around go ahead. Just don't expect to make money doing it.


Most of the bands who you see videos for worked hard for years to get where they are. They didn't almost set a room and person on fire and than two weeks later play in front of 4000 people.

Lindsy is a very lucky person not only do she get into an "established" band not knowing how to play. she married a person who was willing to hand over his fan base to her.

To force some forever identity on other people is stupid. Point out inconsistencies in their behaviour, explain how they are not 'truly what they say' because you saw them 'do this' one time... why? Because it is easier to deal with cardboard cut outs than real people, cuz a lot of us pretend like we're the center of the universe sometimes and everyone is just background extras to the movie we imagine we star in.

...no it's not happening without us, it is just plain not happening at all... it is going down to the gurgling sound of our own voices, reproducing the voices of our parents in a slightly altered way, the TV people... trying to dictate to each other what is and what isn't cool or revolutionary or true resistance, what is or isn't true in other people's lives...

If Mikey or Pete pulled that shit they would constantly have people calling them on that. Put up or shut up.

New band members start in weird situations all the time. Bob filmed a video with MCR before he'd played a show with them.


If I remember correctly Bob got the job because he proved that he was an good drummer. He didn't wear a silly costume and he didn't perform any acts that you would normally see in the circus. I think it was more than just filling in for the video that got him that job.


No most bands don't play in front of 4000 people their first time out. Lindsey brags about how she played in front of that many people with only two week of playing that is why it is brought up.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Gerard and MCR never had an identity forced upon them. Gerard was the one that cultivated the identity that he now appears to want to get rid of so badly.


Even when they changed their look for brief moment he continued with the I am a role model and I want to help my fans identity. that was the one thing that was constant.

Hello everyone!
Happy New Year to all of you!

MJ, just like I said before, neither Gerard nor Lindsey were trained giving interviews such as Britney Spears or other people in the music industry who had to maintain a certain image in order to sell albums and concert tickets.
Of course, I know that both of them have a certain image in their mind they want to put across through their behavior and statements but it was never well-elaborated and drilled into them so that they easily forgot about the things they said the day before and made things up, added something to the older story or left things out.
I think they never imagined their older statements to surface again and bite them in the ass.
I do understand that people can change their minds on certain subjects due to newly gained experiences of life etc. but I also think that people should admit that. Otherwise, they shouldn't be surprised if they look like pathologic liars.

If bob played at the video shot before he played live with them than they heard him play. Had he not proven himself to be what they where looking for he wouldn't be in the band today. He would have just been a temporary until they could get someone they liked.

Also I do believe that they said they had a little bit of time to practice with him before playing their first show with him.

No, they didn't know it at first that he was a drummer let alone a good one but who cares.
I just read an article and as far as I understood it they got rid off Matt during their Japan tour and flew Bob out for a test run which means to me that Bob must have practiced the drums for MCR's songs all alone before they even asked him to play for him so that he could fill in for Matt in Japan. I mean, they couldn't know that they were going to fire Matt, could they?
I also don't think that you learn how to play the drums for a band only by practising at a sound check or even on a day off if you have never played their songs before.
But perhaps I'm getting everything wrong again. ^_^

Yes, and what she proved to them was that she could set things on fire with Bacardi and a match. She said herself that she was not impressing them with her bass playing.

So, MSI was not looking for a bass player per se, they were looking for someone to get onstage and be outrageous.

I think that depends on the band you'r auditioning for.
If it's an unknown amateur band I think they most likely can't expect you to know their songs and play them.
But an established act can! And I also think they would expect you to play some of their songs and maybe would also join in to see if there's a chemistry between the new person and the band.

I was talking about a more well know band when I made that comment. I would think if it was a bunch of people who had never played before and wanted to start a band that it would be more important to play as a group. But we are talking about two bands that had been around for a bit and needed to replace members.

I'm afraid Fox is going to edit the film and shorten its length so it will get a PG-13 rating and will appeal to a wider audience.

If so, that will probably set the date back several months and it's going to ruin the integrity of the film.

They all (the band) seem to be so afraid of other people criticizing them. They certainly have no self-confidence whatsoever.

Anonymous said...

Gerard seems to get really angry when he is criticised by anyone. He always retaliates with something heated and usually stupid. Like when he was criticised by Kasabian that time and he came back with something about other band's not having "the juice" to back up what they say. What? Juice?

He's just too immature to handle criticism

resurrected wreck said...

Exactly. People aren't allowed to say a single negative word about MCR on a lot of those places. It's like a totalitarian regime where nobody is allowed to have an opinion that doesn't meet with the fuhrer's approval. And all of the little sheep just follow along blindly.

The trouble with hero worship is that it can make you blind.

Anonymous said...

Haha, yes, that was really funny!

I haven't found an opponent worthy enough yet. If you're gonna take me on, you'd better have the balls for it! If you're gonna talk shit about us, you'd better have the juice. And we haven't found anybody with the juice yet."

Bwahahahahaha!
FIERCE!!

resurrected wreck said...

I have juice. It's currently in a can in my freezer waiting to be mixed with water.

Maybe Gerard was just thirsty.

Anonymous said...

Lol. That kind of sounded a little bit like, "I'm going to take my toys and go home!"

resurrected wreck said...

He should learn how to separate stage Gerard from real Gerard. If there is a real Gerard.

Anonymous said...

Well, I think he was looking for a different kind of 'juice', RW! ^_~

resurrected wreck said...

O_o

Gross.

I think if Tom from Kasabian would step up to him Gerard would run for the hills screaming in hysterical falsetto.

That's the image I get as well.

Hallo Fisch,

Die Elfe ist krank.

Yes, I'd like to ask Gerard about the "juice" comment. Seems an odd thing to say.

Does any one know who the mods are for BN are appart from Panasonic Dude. They were supposed to have music guides or some crap but they never friggin' do anything.

Hallo Elfe!

No, apart from Fanatonic Tooth I don't know any of those weirdos.
Isn't there a link to the BN staff somewhere?

Danke.

Not sure. Never reallt cared to look. Plus, the music guides weren't being paid.

I think that's also one thing why Gerard appears to be a ridiculous person.
He uses words or expressions which are actually used by people who belong to a different 'scene' than the one he so desperately wants to be a part of and therefore don't really apply.

Is anyone of you in a so-called 'Street Team'? Or were they in a MCR Street Team?

Siobhan-san, I was a member of that once. But then months later I got lazy, and almost immediately stopped promoting the band. It wasn't worth it.

Didn't you even get a free band t-shirt or concert ticket for your efforts?

Anonymous said...

Hahaha, no. All I got was free stickers at first since I was a newbie. Being a member, you had to do these challenges, like post one of MCR's videos anywhere you can in order to gain points.

If you gained enough, you'd get free stuff or tickets or something.

I stopped caring about that after a while. It got boring.

resurrected wreck said...

I was technically a member of MCR's street team for a short time. But the only tasks you were ever asked to do were mundane. I guess if you can't hire a monkey to do it, get a bunch of teenage girls to do it for free.

What did you have to do to get a chance meeting the band?
Tattoo their band logo on your forehead and try to get the attention of a camera team of a tv channel while running naked through the streets?
hehe

Martha Smith-Jones said...

RW when monkeys don't like what you have them doing they throw shit and get dangerous. They are hard to control.


Teenage girls on the other hand you can just flash a picture of their hero in front of them and say if you do this and that it is yours. See way easier to control than monkeys.

I heard if you kissed Elisa's ass, she would get you backstage passes.

Good point, MJ. Monkeys will only do something if they get something in return for it. Not so teenage girls, apparantly.

Can you imagine all the guitar or sound techs, and band members from other bands coming up to Gerard, patting him on the shoulder and congratulating him for his fiancées murder blowjob skills and that they know that because they once were in the lucky position to receive that favor too?

Am I the only one who noticed that her profile says that she loves kids but doesn't want any herself?
Yeeaaaaah! Riiiiiiiight! P-lease!

Remember when Frank told everyone about Gerard shaving his privates, because he heard it cuts down on the smell? Did he not know that soap and water is for that? Come on! Does a tour bus not have running water?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Later RW.

I don't think he understands how to use soap and water.

Anonymous said...

probably not 2:45, hehe.

But besides soap and water, why would he shave down there? Pubic hair is supposed to keep bacteria away from the genital area.

Anonymous said...

Haha! I just remembered when they were in Germany in 2005 and did an interview for a show on the German music tv channel VIVA.
It was only Gerard and Ray and the host asked them where the others were and Gerard said that Frank couldn't come because he was ill and then the host said something like Oh, he's ill? So he can't play the show tonight? and Gerard was so confused and you could see how uncomfortable he felt because it was so obvious that Gerard realized that the host knew that Frank wasn't really ill but couldn't be arsed to come to the show. hahhahhaha
I actually hate that host because he's a dumbass but I loved him for making the guys feel uncomfortable and look like assholes and liars.
I wish more people would have the guts to behave like that when doing an interview with them. Simply calling them out on their lies.

Siobhan, there was another interviewer who did have the balls to confront Gerard, but when Lyn-Z came into the picture, she ended up being another ass-kisser.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I am sure she enjoyed having smoke blown in her face as well.

Anonymous said...

He didn't feel the need to say anymore messages. He just wants to focus on being a rock band. If he was so hard core, why in the hell did he write Mama and prance around the stage like Liza ? Hell, he thought he was on broadway or something!

Anonymous said...

Hell, i would rather see the broadway Gerard, than him being something that he is not. I would rather see him wearing a boa, than making the audience moan for him.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

But he wasn't focusing on being a rock band. During the PR tour he was focusing on telling the world he was getting laid and acting like an ass.

Gerard's always battled with his weight. I doubt a video gave him inspiration.

Neither did I. They seemed so genuine.

Gerard's weight can yo-yo so quickly it's scary. I've seen him puff up in just a matter of weeks and lose it almost as fast, which doesn't seem healthy (or natural) to me.

Anonymous said...

Yeah. I think his weight going up and down the way it does says alot about his mental state.

Anonymous said...

I saw the change in them before TBP came out. I downloaded the My Chemical Romance Welcomes You to the Black Parade from iTunes and I remember thinking when Gerard was talking about the songs he sounded pretty over the top arrogant. I tried to tell myself he was just really excited about the album, but he'd never been quite so blatantly full of self-love up until then.

I remember thinking, Wow, this is not the same guy who did that WSOU interview.

Anonymous said...

I love that interview!

He did sound full of himself. Back then I thought "They've made a great album. They have every right to be proud of it." Now I see that there was more to it them that.

I actually listened to the WSOU interview the other night to see if I had imagined how nice and genuine they all seemed.

It isn't just that his attitude has change his appearance has as well. He looks like he hasn't been bathing but the last time he did that he look completely different. It's almost as if he is trying to make himself look like JU now.
