Maybe I should have titled this "douchebag disease is contagious"....
Bob Bryer used his Twitter account to write the word "c--t" for all his fans and call it "art" and then, apparently according to someone at the NIN news site, he made a dick move in basically stealing his friend's idea and votes for making money for an animal shelter. Yes an animal shelter got money but he screwed over someone else to do it.
Feel free to pick up the conversations you left off on the other post.....

Could be true. He seems to be very self-destructive.
He probably enjoys all of his personas and has already given them names.
Or maybe that's why he cuts all of his friends and lovers out his life so drastically so that he can get rid off his old roles and become someone new?
Fuck, I keep forgetting words in my comments. Maybe I shouldn't write while lying in bed eating CRISPS (yes, Lindsey) and watching people on tv drinking penis coladas.
I alternate being pissed at him, and feeling genuinely sorry for him.
Yeah, he's a poor sod.
Penis coladas??
Too full of cottage pie and tea for crisps and penis coladas.
I'm watching 'I'm a star! Get me out of here!' and one of the contestants had to drink a cocktail with a kangaroo penis in it. They called it 'penis colada'.
Cottage pie sounds good. What's it made of?
Cottage pie sounds good. What's it made of?
Make mashed potato.
Fry some mince beef (I use veggie mince) and small vegetables such as sliced mushrooms, peas and sweetcorn.
Once it's done but it a cooking dish, add gravy and stir it in.
On top of that add the mashed potato. Then put some grated cheese on top of the potato. Put the cottage pie under the grill til the cheese has melted and serve.
It's lush.

How the hell did they get their hands on a severed kangaroo penis?
I'm guessing it isn't still attached to the kangaroo. Is it?
Either way, if I were the kangaroo I'd be pissed.
Cottage pie sounds like shephard's pie.
Cottage pie sounds like shephard's pie.
That's it!! Cottage pie has beef, Shepherds pie has lamb. Well, that's what we say in England anyway.
one of the contestants had to drink a cocktail with a kangaroo penis in it.
That's so fucking cruel. I thought the Australian Government would protect the kangaroos.
Unfortunately, they eat kangaroos in Australia (and not just there) and that's where they get the penis from; a dead kangaroo. They also 'decorated' the glass with a penis. You know, instead of the typical slice of fruit they put the penis on the glass.
Sounds yummy, Elfe! I will try making cottage pie for sure.
One of the contestants on the previous season had to eat a kangaroo testicle. It looked like a boiled egg.
Hello RW, Safe and Siobhan,
I fall asleep and you guys go wild. I am going to go with the angle that the charity is real. Because I don't think he is dumb enough to do a fake a charity like that to get money.
I Think he want s to look good in the eyes of fans again so he is doing this. But with most of the charitable things MCR seem to have done on their site they do a half arsed job.
Siobhan that show sound like fear factor with famous people.
Hi, MJ :)
I hate I'm a celebrity, get me outta here. They're just evil. I can't believe people eat kangaroos. :(
Hi MJ.
Safe one of the dogs my family had hate to eat kangaroo dog food because of skin problems. It is very healthy meat from what I have heard.
hate should be had.
Hi MJ!
Yes, they have to do pretty nasty stuff to get stars. Every star stands for one meal and the more stars you get the more they have to eat.
*Is distrubed*
Yes, I don't know how they can eat such a beautiful creature.
Yep. I don't know how anyone can eat any creature.
I don't know how anyone can throw vomit at their audience. But it happens.
Yeah, vomit happens, RW! LOL!
It happens when assholes are around "the little people" or "walking wallets!.
Vomit does happen! T'is true!
Well, gonna go soak in the bath.
Have a good day, all :)
Yes, I have to call it a day as well!
Bye RW!
Bye Elfe and MJ!
Have fun RW. I am going to sleep again I was up most of the night later
Bye everyone.
i would have to agree with rw, if the world's most popular bassist can do backbends, then she must have polished her skill from a young age.
i did ballet for many years. i have also acquired a certain flexibility you only can get through it.
in terms of her body weight she may have battled with weight gain in her teens. that is a time of hypersensitivity; in the teen world even gaining 2 lbs can make other teens say the most horrible things.
the way she uses body size as a critical term gives me the impression she feels paranoid about the subject. she seems to think very much like a teenager.

I mean that Bob Dylan was the cure for angst felt by young people in his time, now MCR is used similarly. Aside from interesting lyrics Bob Dylan isn't on a higher pedestal than MCR and bands like them, they serve(d) the same exact purpose. I just have a problem with people who think their musical taste is superior than others because they dabble with a few bands that Top-40 enthusiasts would have difficulty recognizing. And in all due respect, that comment I made previously actually makes a lot of sense and is very easy to decipher.

Not necessarily. I was in really poor shape in high school. Not huge or obese, but about thirty pounds heavier than I am now, with very little flexibility or strength or stamina.
Yet I could always do a backbend and get my head to the floor, and I could always do the hands-free backbend with my head to the floor, too.
All you have to do is have good balance (it helps if you have something heavy to anchor you, like say, huge boots or a bass guitar--I use neither,) and be able to hyper-extend the lumbar region of your spine.
Funny you should talk about ballet, when Lyn-z and Gerard first coupled up and before Lyn-z did the Tasteit TV interview where she said she was fat as a teenager, girls would come on all the time and talk about how she used to be a ballet dancer.
Oddly, that talk all disappeared after her interview with Brigitte.
Anyone got more information on that?
I am not a fucking superstar bass player. I am a great performer and nobody can take that away from me. People attack me sometimes. They say I'm a shitty bass player and I say, "You know what? Fine, fuck you, it's true, but do a backbend and, like, fucking play the bass line, I dare you.
Let me tell you something. A lot of people are disrespecting me. They say that the movie's just about farts. It's about family, and like.... Fuck you! You can't do what I do!

I have a 12 year old brother who's played the bass guitar for 2 years. He can do a backbend whilst playing a bass line. Seriously.

I can do a backbend while playing guitar hero, i guess that makes me a great performer too?
that's pretty much what she does on stage, she just pretends she is playing.

There isn't anything special about Lindsey's "performance" onstage. She can't dance, she doesn't sing and her bass playing skills are pretty rudimentary. She skips around the stage, crowd surfs and does a backbend while holding a bass. If that makes her a great performer I would hate to see a bad one.
Poor Mikey Way. His bass playing is less than stellar and he hardly moves around the stage at all. Lindsey must think he's a terrible performer.
I think Mike is only still in the band because he's Gerard's brother.
Of course it is important to be able to play the bass but a moronic looking douchebag who only stands in the corner of the stage is totally redundant.
I don't know how anyone can throw vomit at their audience.
Heatstroke.
Heatstroke.
I don't suppose it ever occurred to the dumbass to take off his long-sleeve jacket and to maybe tone down the pyro, considering that PR took place during the hottest time of the year.
I didn't see Chester Bennington or Adam Lazzara having a heatstroke and throwing vomit at their audience.
Lindsey must think he's a terrible performer.
Yeah, Lindsey is the be-all-and-end-all of bassists so her opinion is the the only opinion that counts.
El Oh El.
Mikey kickes her ass.
Actually, I also didn't find it that pleasant to see that dumbass Frank spitting into the crowd all the time during shows.
Keep your disgusting spit to yourself, asshole!
Mikey kickes her ass.
Well, I wouldn't go that far. But because of her, he can truthfully say that there is at least one person out there who is less accomplished at bass than he is.
I don't think Mikey's a bad musician at all. He's the best bassist in that family anyway.
Yes, Frank can keep his spit to himself. But I'd rather be spat on then have vomit thrown on me. Just sayin'.
MCR's bass lines may be ridiculously easy, but at least Mikey actually plays them onstage. He doesn't have to have a backing track.

I think it is totally unnecessary to experience any of the two at a concert. That's not what I'd payed for!

MCR's bass lines may be ridiculously easy, but at least Mikey actually plays them onstage. He doesn't have to have a backing track.
The tabs might be easy but at least Mikey can call himself a musician and not tell a blatent lie unlike his siter-in-law. He write the stuff, he records it and plays it live.
Well, we all know Lindsey doesn't play live but does she do the writing and recording when it comes to the album? Does any of them? When it comes to the recording process, I've only ever read/heard Jimmy talking about it? Do they contribute or are they Jimmy's puppets when it comes to "live" gigs and interviews? Are they the Milli Vanilli of "punk"?

Someone on the ONTD auction thread claims that the auction is for her boyfriend's ex.
Um, could be a joke, though.

Okay, I haven't read it all yet but Rayla's icons are making lol.
"Eliza, you're fired!"
"Brian Flakes"
I might be mistaken, but I don't think any of the band members contributed to the CD that's being auctioned off on ebay. Jimmy Urine did the first record on his own and then put together a band to tour. I doubt much has changed since then. The other people are probably just there for the stage show.
Rayla is a lunatic. Her comments are spattered all over every MCR post on lj and she's part of that group of fans who hate Eliza with a passion and still hold a grudge against her to this day.
All of the Lindsey love? A lot of it is just another way to express Eliza hate.
Totegay: in that case, i will knock the "mcr fans that don't care for brian" count up to a whopping total of FOUR!
Agent Aeon aka Megan Mayhem: five.
Hmmm. Maybe Brian came down on her hard for talking about Gerard on the internet.
I'd love to knoe Megan's secrets about the band and WMHC.
But her icons are damn funny!
Her icons may be funny, but don't ever make the mistake of saying anything against MCR or Lindsey to her.

Hahahahahaha!! I don't have an LJ but if I did, I'd say whatever the fuck I wanted and she had a problem with it, then fuck her.
Oh, but didn't you know? Rayla is one of those people who knows some people who know a friend of somebody who writes for AP or some shit like that.
I'm sure she does. *rolls eyes*
Lol @ "stfu or i will cut you"
lol. Freaks.
Somebody posted the ebay auction thing on ONTD. I wish I hadn't deleted my lj or I would go on there and point out that this isn't a legitimate 'charity' because nobody even knows who this so-called cancer patient is.
I just found out that you can also log in to LJ by using an OpenID account such as AIM or whatever those icons below next to the OpenID option mean.
I don't know how anyone can throw vomit at their audience.
Heatstroke.
I didn't ask why he threw up. I was womdering why, after he did it, he felt compelled to throw it at people who paid to hear him sing. What's next, throwing feces? Monkeys do that.
What's next, throwing feces? Monkeys do that.
Be careful. Don't give them any ideas.
I don't care how deep you backbend, you can't compete with a monkey.
He's a tool, that's why he did it. No more, no less.
MSI behave like a group of monkeys. When someone criticizes them, it's because of jealousy, or body size or not being able to understand their "humor". They pretty must act like fifteen year olds in the 30-40 age group.
Some people claim that Lindsey is only 27/28 while others say she's already 32. How old is she really?
And how old are the others?
Lindsey's 32.
Not sure about the others. But Jimmy is nearing 40.
Not sure about the others. But Jimmy is nearing 40.
Wtf!
Yep. It's true a five year suck in a 40 year olds body.
Very sad.
Correction - he's 40 on September 7th.
Oh dear.
I think Lindsey looks older than 32.
So, you think Jimmy is going to be wearing blue-tipped spiked hair when he's 50? or 60? or even 70?
Has somebody the link to that flickr page on which you can see that horrible picture of the two at the Cure concert?
I lost it. Meh!
So, you think Jimmy is going to be wearing blue-tipped spiked hair when he's 50? or 60? or even 70?
I think it's nothing wrong with staying young. And if you want to sport a purple mohawk at the age of 70 then more power to you.
But it's a totally different thing to try to provoke people with ridiculous songs for sheer shock factor at the age of 40.

Why would Gerard throw his vomit soaked bandanna at fans because he thinks they wanted it. He has a bunch of fangirls lusting after every part of him. Why wouldn't they want his vomit or what ever else he fells like throwing at them.

nothing to be proud of or even a special accompishment, but according to lindsey it's enough to be in a bad B-)
so i guess we're on the way to superstardom.
and then we can say stuff like " hey i can do a backbend and pick my nose so fck you! nobody can do it better than me, so like you know like fck you !"

i heard about this but assumed it was a bad rumor. did he really do this? did someone actually witness this?
i'm not sure if anybody would deliberately throw things of this nature to anybody unless they were not thinking straight at the time.
i heard about this but assumed it was a bad rumor. did he really do this? did someone actually witness this?
There's a video too, The sound during the music is bad, but the incident starts at around 2.00
From the new Kerrang/MSI interview:
It was in the band's early days- they're currently fast approaching their 10 year anniversary-that they had a good hard look at the music scene around them and realized that they wanted very little to do with it.
They'd look at the way fans idolized rock stars, despite the fact that those rock stars appeared to have very little respect for their fans. They'd look at the way some musicians were held up as untouchable icons-more God than human-and they'd shake their heads in bewilderment." I don't know why people have this urge to turn regular people into Gods. Maybe that's a part of entertainment that I don't get." says Steve
more:
There are those that believe that behavior such as that mean the band are facile, and their antics are for shock value alone. But that is to miss the point. Because though they want their gigs to be parties at which people can enjoy themselves, as is usually the case with Mindless Self Indulgence something deeper and more subversive is at work. Those that choose not to investigate further tend to be the same kind of people that branded the band homophobic after listening to Faggot, or labelling them racist, for covering Method's man Bring the Pain.
"It's only people who listen to the surface who might hear the word faggot without listening to the rest of the lyrics, who call me homophobic. They don't realize it's pro-gay." says Jimmy. "Other people who listened to Bring the Pain thought that I wanted to stick niggers and run down the street. I didn't write it! Call method Man up, he wrote it. The attitude seems to be " How dare a white boy cover that?" Why? Is it wrong that a find a black person inspiring? Or is it that I think his song is fantastic?"
All of which means that there is something far more complex going on with Mindless Self Indulgence's music than the casual listener might first hear. Because those that dismiss their often difficult songs on first listen are missing the fact that there is point to some of this: that prejudices are being exposed, that bigotry, racism, sexism and many other isms are being pointed out.
"They'd look at the way some musicians were held up as untouchable icons-more God than human-and they'd shake their heads in bewilderment." I don't know why people have this urge to turn regular people into Gods. Maybe that's a part of entertainment that I don't get." says Steve"
Eddie Van Halen/Slash/Hendrix ARE more God than human - OK, so maybe I should cut down on the hyperbole but the average Joe can't do what they do - and that is why people look up to them. Steve Righ? not so much!
Hello haibane,
Thank you for all the jRock you told me about. Everything is well with me I hope I you can say the same.
You know Steve really shouldn't talk about fans treating entertainers like Gods and entertainers treating those fans like shit. His band participates in doing that stuff so why is he acting like he doesn't understand it.
There was a review to a concert posted her where JU took a girl out of the audience had her pay him $20 and than he called her names and told her to kiss his ass.
Entertainers get held up as Gods because that is the image they put out there of themselves. That they are these perfect people. By this I am saying how often is it that you see anything bad about those people unless it is from another entertainer. Than it become hard to just get an autograph from them or for them just to smile and wave at fans.
They put themselves in a bubble and make that bubble hard for anyone to reach. It also doesn't help when they auction off personal items like clothing for charity.

That's the same fucking lie you hear from every underground band who hasn't made it big yet!
Who the hell does he think he's fooling?
I think Gerard and the others said the same thing at the beginning of their career. Not the exact same words but the same meaning.
We don't understand why rock bands treat their fans badly. We would never do that. We love our fans and we know that everything we've achieved so far and will ever achieve is because of them. We don't want to be seen as gods. We don't want to be adored. We are just normal dudes from Jersey.....yadda, yadda, yadda!
Bitch, please!
Hello Siobhan, talula and anons
talula I agree that people who can do something amazing in their field of work will get the God treatment. And in those cases it is alright. But I have also noticed that with a lot of those people as they get older they get nicer and they appreciate their fans. maybe it is because they aren't on top anymore or they are high as a kite 24/7.
But people who get to the top with out doing the hard work and with out the talent to back it up just continue to act like assholes.
Hi there, MJ!
Hi Talula!
Hi anons!
and more:
It is weird then, that recently your popularity has seen you edge nearer to the mainstream
Jimmy "It's a little weird, but not super weird. It doesn't change me though - they hopped on board my train, I didn't get on theirs.So if some mom brings her twelve year old kid to our show, I'm not going to go , "Fuck...oops" If she doesn't like it then thanks for the money, and get the fuck out. No refunds."
Steve " It is what it is. We're doing things on our own terms,because there are certain things we just cannot bring ourselves to do in order to sell a few more records. What I'm against is people faking things. Why do people pretend they're something then what they are? For record sales? Well in that case, fuck you. If you can't sell records without faking things, then either take the hit like we do or give it up."
How much does making money matter to you?
Jimmy "The only thing that translates into anything for me is money"
Really?
Jimmy "Yes I'm serious. If I go out shopping for milk, I will come up with a song. I'll go home and craft it. Then I get the freedom to put it out on a record, and if it makes people want to dance then a can go to my mailbox a year later to find a cheque to pay for more milk. Then I'm happy. This is a job, which something idealistic idiots should know. If you're fifteen and romantic sometimes you want to believe that that guy in the band couldn't help but write that song. They'd think he had to write that song. But if that m***fucker wasn't getting free pussy, free booze and getting paid to do it, then he would not fucking do it. Maybe he'd pick you up to play the song to you on an acoustic guitar to get you into fucking bed, that's about it. The fact of the matter is that people want to make money to pay the rent and live somewhat comfortably. Who wants to be on the road all the time, living under those kinds of stressful conditions for nothing? So it is a job. But what makes the job more bearable when, like us, you can do what the fuck you want.
They are doing it on their terms. Than why did they clean up their last CD so that it could sell in places like target.
Because those that dismiss their often difficult songs on first listen are missing the fact that there is point to some of this: that prejudices are being exposed, that bigotry, racism, sexism and many other isms are being pointed out.
ROTFL. Are they trying to market themselves as the new MCR?
"It's only people who listen to the surface who might hear the word faggot without listening to the rest of the lyrics, who call me homophobic. They don't realize it's pro-gay." says Jimmy.
LOL
Who fucking doesn't come up with shit to write when they are buying milk at the store. If you know anything about song writers you would know that they get inspiration from every where.
I remember reading one song write talking about carrying around a notebook for when he found something that gave him inspiration. JU that isn't at all special
Ju thinks he is pro gay because he uses the word f@ggot in his songs.

Mr Urine, I would like to ask you a question. What sort of ism were you trying to point out when you wrote five year old panty shot?
There are also way better ways to expose all those ism than using slurs
Exactly Martha Jones. JU seems to get a lot of inspiration, of the GW sort.
Ju thinks he is pro gay because he uses the word f@ggot in his songs.
He only says he's pro-gay because he knows that those 'faggots' would rip up his asshole and fuck him with a hot poker if he didn't try to cover up his homophobic attitude with such statements.
I so want to see if there a black people in the crowd enjoying it when a white bread says the word nigger in a song.
I really don't think so.
Why is it that people who don't belong to certain groups be it a race, sexual orientations or what ever always think they are doing those groups a favor by using the slurs that were created to degrade them.
The fact that they think that by them saying those things is helping the fight shows that they don't understand or don't care what those words mean.
You are making people think that those words have no meaning behind them and that they can be used like any other word. Saying f@ggot is not the same as saying gay same goes with saying the n-word or calling women bitches because they are women.
Siobhan There are always some black people that won't have a problem with it. I think it is mainly because they haven't had to deal with racism. Or they didn't know they were dealing with racism. They are also usually the people who think changing the ending somehow makes it a completely different word.
Were they not originally saying, as the majority of their fanbase were, that their songs were intended to be tongue in cheek, irreverent and about the lolz. Now all of a sudden they are "dark and subversive".
"But if that m***fucker wasn't getting free pussy,"
"Free pussy"!!!! That guy is truely fucking sick.
It is way to easy for people who use things for shock value to turn around and say that it was all tongue and cheek when they start getting called out on their shit.
Msi have said that they don't have message and that they just want peoples money. But that doesn't sell records to the mainstream.
Martha Jones they seem to be totally contradicting themselves. They are saying they do not follow the traditional path set about by the music industry and don't care about selling records, and want everyone to have a big party at their gigs, but underneath all that they have a message and are trying to break down all the prejudices that are ingrained in society.
I think they are talking a load of bull. Like JU said it's about the money. They need to sell their music.
I really think that Ju saying all this stuff now is his way of making fun of old MCR and the fangirls that now think msi is the shit.
Ju acts way to much like the bully in one of those after school specials who Act all friendly to you and than when the time is right kick you into the mud.
Anon everyday it seems MCR and msi have more in common.
Why do people pretend they're something then what they are? For record sales?
This makes me laugh. Wonder who?
I really have to wonder sometimes if they aren't saying this shit because of places like this.
It doesn't really matter Martha Jones. He even admitted it himself, he is after his next cheque. He is actually very cynical. For all their talk about what they dislike about the industry he seems to be really pissed it took so long for them.
I get that feeling as well. That it took them so long to get noticed and that it was only because of the person who does the least in the band.
Maybe he could be also peeved that his not so talented bassist has it a bit easier than him.

paedophilia ???? :S
I think so as well. I can see anyone in that band being happy about what has happened. At first I am sure they were happy about the money but It is LYN-Z not msi that people are looking at.
Another thing I have noticed is they seem to imply they are non-sexist by reasoning that half their band is female, yet my understanding is that the females seem to participate the least in all the interviews. Ju and Steve seem to be dominating the whole thing. So I get the impression the females are just token images.

January 12, 2009 2:56 AM
but if like he said it's all about the money for him ,maybe he is happy as long as ppl go to their concerts and buy the cd's.
i'm sure they've started to get more cash after their "engagement" with MCR
It is all about how you treat the women in the band are they equals are are they just pretty things to attract the attention of the fanboys.
But it isn't Lindsey's band or MCR's. It is Ju's baby that he put all the "hard work" into.
It is funny how it is always one of the males members saying Lindsey isn't leaving the band. I don't think I have heard about her saying anything about it.
They would deny from here to kingdom come that there is any inequity, but it's always the subtle things that gives them away. Why is the vocalist meant to be the mouth piece of the band. A band that place so much value on sexism, racism etc should let the women in the band have their say, without him butting in. I'd love to hear that.
MJ,i think he sees it sort like a "consolation prize" . so maybe he doesn't mind at all $$$
"i did all the hard work but i never got a reward, now my cheap bass player married a rock star and this guy is willing to help my band, and im starting to get more media attention, press, money, gigs...hmm ok i take it"
Ju will be okay with it until the day comes when an interview starts asking Lindsey why she started the band and what directions she want to take it in next.
Okay, this is version 2
"i did all the hard work but i never got a reward, now my cheap bass player married a rock star (who I have no respect for) and this guy is willing to help my band, and im starting to get more media attention, press, money, gigs...hmm ok i take it.
I like the money, but I rather people hate us, than laugh at us. So now we have to show that we are deep and fighting prejudice so I can milk this as long as I can."
lindsey and gerard marriage was the best thing that could have ever happened to JU.
he knows lindsey is not a "menace"
she barely speaks in the interviews and she once said " she hates to be the center of attention" :D
thumbs up to version 2 , anon.
I'm sure that's the way he thinks.
Sorry i was rude and didn't say hi.
Hello everybody!
:)
she hates to be the center of attention"
Why speak with your tongue when the brain fails to engage very well. You can let your back bends, short skirts and crotch exposure do all the talking. It's a secret men have yet to discover.
No Lindsey isn't much of a threat. But I doubt that she doesn't like being the center of attention. Because flashing people your underwear is going to catch their eye.
she hates to be the center of attention
LMFAO. Of course she doesn't. Neither did Eliza.
I just discovered a few posts on bn against lindsey. they call her "attention whore" and "slut"
:D
so i guess we are not the only ones who don't find her "amaazingg " and so "inspirational"
Lindsey isn't much of a threat but that still has got to stink a bit when he thinks about it.
She doesn't like to be the center of attention. so she wears a short skirt does back bend and show her underwear to everyone. cause nobody would pay attention to that.

Got any links TL? I need a good laugh.
Martha Jones the problem with people like Mrs Way is that they are predictable. For all their bleating, they are so easy to see through. JU is approaching middle age, and it must be going though his mind how much limited time he has to consolidate things. And he has his best buddy to help him, being the generous spirit he is. Anyhoo, time to get some rest. It was an interesting chat. Goodnight/morning to all.
Goodnight anon
I am off as well for a while.
Goodnight.

Um, but didn't they say they were the "anti-message band"? Jeez, guys, pick a story and stick with it.
Another thing I have noticed is they seem to imply they are non-sexist by reasoning that half their band is female
When one of those females' primary roles is to dress seductively and flash her underwear to the audience, I fail to see how that argument is valid.
They're full of shit. But then, so are MCR -- it just took us longer to figure that out.
prejudices are being exposed, that bigotry, racism, sexism and many other isms are being pointed out.
Do they think their audience is stupid? I believe most of the people out there are aware of these prejudices. We don't need some two-bit shock band to point them out.
these are lindsey words
taken from the "Don't call me Mrs Gerard way" interview.
"I am terrified to go out there in front of people and be a spectacle"
and then about the whole "attention"
"It makes me feel uncomfortable.I am the bass player. I never wanted to be the frontperson. It's okay with me to be at the side because I am part of the party.But I don't want to be the hostess."
xD

Thanks Tiger Lily! oxox
You're welcome,anon :o)
enjoy!.
Jeez, guys, pick a story and stick with it.
The same could be said for Gerard. He changes his story more often than he changes his underwear.
From Link Two:
a - she may not be a world class bass player, but she does play. when she jumps into the crowd, they have someone at the ready to put a track on so the bass doesn't drop out completely.
Is she fucking serious?
The same could be said for Gerard. He changes his story more often than he changes his underwear.
I hear he doesn't change his underwear too often. They just get dirty and stretched over time, like his stories.
I am glad I didn't sign off yet. 4.37 this weekend at mayo's someone said the same thing to me about Lindsey. I think word for word.
Also the person keep saying that all women musicians get told they suck at playing because they are women. Not because they suck but because they are women. ?The person kept saying that men don't get the same treatment. The person was trying to imply that men can suck at playing but because they are men no one will say anything.
The person kept saying that men don't get the same treatment.
Mikey and Pete Wentz frequently get shit for being piss poor bassists so that fucks up her theory.
I'm off anons,MJ,nice to read you all.
Bye Tiger Lily.
You couldn't tell her that. i gave her many examples of how men get treated just as bad by fan. But she was like no it is only because she is a woman. But we don't talk about those guys being piss poor player on here or at mayo's so it doesn't count.
She than started to talk about how people told her her playing sucked and that it was only because she was a girl.
Goodnight TL.
I am off for real now.

Yeah because it couldn't be because she just plain sucked at bass could it. There's always some excuse.
I didn't ask why he threw up. I was womdering why, after he did it, he felt compelled to throw it at people who paid to hear him sing.
Heatstroke.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatstroke
She than started to talk about how people told her her playing sucked and that it was only because she was a girl.
If you are a music fan you quickly learn the difference between someone telling a female musician they suck because they suck and someone telling them they suck because they are female.
Heatstroke
So, Gerard should have been hospitalised.....for other reasons than insanity.
If that was heatstroke, explain to me then how no one else on that tour had similar problems? Especially the poor bands that had to play the Revolution stage that was usually located in the middle of a field with no shade in the hottest part of the day?
He threw up, fine, but was it necessary to fling it into the crowd. Also, why didn't he just take his jacket off, he was obviously hot. Frank was there in a sleeveless t-shirt.
Nobody is questioning why he threw up here. The heatstroke might be an argument if we were saying he threw up because he was drinking or doing drugs (although, as others have pointed out, nobody else had similar problems and I personally am not entirely ruling out drugs/alcohol as a contributing factor).
What we are saying is this -- why did he feel it necessary to toss that disgusting bandana out into the audience? You can post shit about heatstroke all day long and it doesn't answer that question.
although, as others have pointed out, nobody else had similar problems and I personally am not entirely ruling out drugs/alcohol as a contributing factor
I think it was drugs and alcohol related too.
Lindsey was quite obviously a rather heavy drinker at the beginning of PR, according to the article where she had bottles under her bunk on the bus and she said she drank when she got up in the morning. Also, she certainly appeared to be drunk or high or something in that Rocksound 'welcome to my breakdown' interview.
I just don't see how Gerard, who is supposed to be a recovering drug addict/alcoholic, can be in a relationship with somebody like her and not drink or do drugs himself.

I hear you with that comment! I think it would be very hard for him to be in a relationship with someone that drank alcohol and/or used drugs. One good thing about Eliza was that she was also a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. Atleast they could be disciplined together.
The thing with Gerard is that I can see him thinking that he can get away with dipping back into it since he got together with Lynz because he is so very much in love, he has found his soulmate etc etc. Therefore he won't fall into the pit of depression again because all his fears are gone, he won't die alone etc. I think that is a really dangerous thing though.
Do you remember when he was going to give up smoking for New Years 2007 and he didn't. When asked the following year if he was going to give up anything for New Years, he said something like "No I'm pretty much happy with everything in my life at the moment. I don't need to change anything."
So the smoking didn't bother him anymore and I think that was because Lynz smokes and so it was all OK, it was acceptable and no longer in the forefront of his mind as a worry.
I am with the people here that think he has probably been using drugs again, I'm really not sure on the alcohol. That was a huge demon for him for many years, the drugs seemed to be a little something extra, but the alcohol was his big one. Let's hope it scares him enough not to go there again.
Also, and I don't mean it disrespectfully, but he has been looking pretty bad this last year or so. Yes his eyes are always going to be pretty, but the guy looks drained and exhausted, and he hasn't toured in months and months now.
Anyway just me putting my thoughts out there. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate that but I'm just saying it as I see it.
You would think he would look better after such a long rest amd he doesn't have the excuse of touring, but he really has been looking bad lately. The only thing that will do that to you is either drugs, alcohol, or someone who is not happy - but he makes a point about telling us about his wonderful wife and how happy he is.
I don't know if you have all seen this before, it was linked on bn, it was the first time I have seen it.

No wonder Gerard is trying to be more punk and hanging around with JU, people still just see MCR as an emo band, no matter how much he says they're not emo.
I almost feel sorry for MCR because those Black Parade uniforms have come to represent "emo" for a lot of people.
In nearly every parody or news story I've seem about so-called "emo culture", photos or videos of the band wearing those uniforms have been prominently featured. People are going to associate The Black Parade with emo forever.

Too bad you can't post macros here, because that statement just begs for a YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! macro.
MSI is a gimmick band -- a one trick pony, so to speak. Nobody is going to get credibility by hanging out with them.
Poor, stupid Gerard.

I kind of feel a little sorry for GW, I bet this was the last thing he envisioned when dreaming of being in a band.
Only a little sorry mind, the guy dug he own grave after all.
The only thing that will do that to you is either drugs, alcohol, or someone who is not happy - but he makes a point about telling us about his wonderful wife and how happy he is.
I guess maybe lack of good quality sleep would do that to you. But why isn't he getting good quality sleep if he isn't drinking, using drugs and is extremely happy?

I bet he is already plotting his escape from Lindsey and the baby.
This takes a lot of time. And maybe the only time he has for himself, when his hysterical fans and his annoying 'like' wife don't disturb ,is in the night.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gerard feels like being in a trap. He's not that young anymore but still young enough to wanting to enjoy his 'rockstardom' without being attached to a wife and a baby.
At first it seems kind of cool and sooo romantic to marry someone you have a crush on and most likely great sex with but I don't think that he expected to be tied down for the rest of his life with her.
That's so not rock & roll.
Hello everyone!
Hilarious video about that Emo washing powder!
It's kind of sad that all those kids who are emo look up to GW as a hero, and yet he denies that MCR are emo and calls it bullshit.
^ I was going to say that maybe it's all the hawt sex anon, that's why he isn't getting enough sleep. But sex is actually good for your body and makes you sleep better. So, maybe that's just how he looks without a stylist doing his makeup and hair. Those pictures at the Scream Awards though are just plain creepy. Especially the ones where he's wearing those sun glasses.

When he did that interview when he totally shit on emo, that must have hurt alot of fans that were proud emo MCR fans. Real kick in the teeth.
for best results use tears instead of water. LOL!

Link, please!
Are they as good as the flickr pic?
Maybe we can start a gallery of horrors with pictures of Gerard.
hahahhahaha
If he were dead, Bob Dylan would be spinning in his grave. As it his, he may well be choking on his popcorn this summer, as My Chemical Romance's cover of his surreal 1965 track, 'Desolation Row', soundtracks one of 2009's cinematic big hitters, Watchmen.
Of course, a superhero epic needs a bit of punch for its lead track, and it follows that MCR have souped up and cut down the rambling folk of the 11-minute original.
But they've gone full throttle here, reinventing the song as a rollicking rock number which, as well as bearing no relation to the original, fails to stand up on its own merit. The punk-by-numbers arrangement is energetic but uninspired, while Gerard Way's rushed vocals trample Dylan's poetic lyrics into near-incomprehensible shouting. Suitable for high-octane trailers only, it seems.
http://web.orange.co.uk/article/my-chemical-romance-desolation-row
Seems like they are already getting bad reviews.
Poor MCR.
Hehehehehehehe!
Review
I think maybe MCR was trying to be "ironic" in their interpretation of Desolation Row. At least that's the impression I got from the live performance which didn't sound anything like Dylan's song.
Dylan's lyrics are perfect for Watchmen, but performed as a punk song they just don't work.
As much as I'd love this song to die on it's ass, you can't really take critics seriously. They very rarely reflect the thoughts of the public.
I think there are a lot of Dylan fans out there who are going to flip their shit and not in a good way. Of course the little fangirls will love it, but will the Watchmen audience?
I don't think they will.
I think it doesn't matter if the song is good or bad.
After all, it is not a single but a song from the soundtrack.
And the soundtrack will be bought by all those comic geeks and MCR fans.
The mummies and daddies in the audience will probably freak too.
What certification is Watchmen? Does anyone know?
They (critics) very rarely reflect the thoughts of the public.
True. The Black Parade received generally good reviews by the critics, but mainstream rock fans still didn't buy it.
Most MCR fans think TBP pales in comparison to Revenge and Bullets even though the critics disagree.
What certification is Watchmen? Does anyone know?
Do you mean rating? If so, it's R.
