I want to agree: men can be feminists, and damn fine ones.
What they can't do is tell women what it feels like to be a woman, what sexism feels like from our end, or how we should feel about ourselves, their treatment of us, or feminism in general.
Get a job - you might end up with a sexist boss and when he slaps your ass, demands you make him his coffee and pays you less then the males doing exactly the same job, then you will understand that not all feminsist are fat and ugly. They are women who just want to be treat fairly and with respect.
Oh, both Lindsey and Gerard claim to be feminist so I guess they're fat and ugly too, right? No, of course not.
Wasn't that her response when asked about 'Panty Shot'. I think most of us came to the conclusion that Gerard was behind that reply. For me that tweet only confirms what we were thinking.
I'm assuming the anon insulting feminists is also female. So anon, you're okay with being treated as a second class citizen, as your man's property, not given the intellectual credit you deserve?
Although, the fact that you're arguing against fighting for your rights leaves your intellect questionable.
I agree with everyone here. I also agree with men being feminists.
Billie Joe Armstrong is a good example. His wife Addriene owned her own company for a while. Then when they had the Adeline Clothing line, Addrienne did most of the work on that project too.. He never told her what to do, although i get the feeling that she'd turn around and slap him if tried..
and, lynz's last tweet is.. I know ALL the lyrics to the notorious B.I.G's album ready to die. do you?
i think she's metaphoring (spinning my own word here) for the proverbial "shit hitting the fan". you're right, they are leaving clues. maybe we'll hear something next week.
maybe she's turning into Alicia and ELiza both of them liked for the fans to know that they had info on the guys that they couldn't share... if that makes sense...

LOL! She thought he could scream sing.
Did CL want GW doing gang vocals on one of her songs?
I read an interview with Courtney Love in SPIN (I can't believe they put her on the cover) today. She said she isn't to blame for all her issues with Frances. After I read that, all the "meaning" in her tweets that were speculated to be about Gerard just fell apart. The woman is an idiot and an irresponsible parent.

He could have finally decided to come out of his closet.

my thought on the entire bob thing is why make it up? The website is obscure yea... but MCR doesn't have that huge of a following... now if it had been Tre cool....
I think nobody's reported on this so far because that site is not popular/famous for being an entertainment news site and because the person who posted it on that specific site admitted via Twitter that it's just hearsay and that they know it from someone who (allegedly) knows Bob's family in Chicago.
Also, who gives a fuck about the drummer? If it was Rumpelstilzchen or even Geefart himself. But the drummer?
I know that Happy but when it comes to MCR I personally cannot say that Bob belongs to the kind of drummers like f. e. Josh Freese who are known for their skills on the drums. To me, he's just a drummer who's easily replaceable. That's what I meant.
frannie must not keep good track of her "friends" if CLOve is calling GW for a singing job.. or does the fact that hes in treatment for vocal health issues not mean anything to her?
I think it would be better is MCR donated a percentage is not all the money they collect from the sale of merch for a period of time. Mummmy and Daddy are much more likey to buy merch for their little spoilts then donate to a charity.
This is a nice idea in theory, but in reality a lot of people would be cynical and accuse them of using a diaster to sell more merch. Not good press. Better to just appeal for donations or say they have already made one and encourage others to do the same. It's kinda sad if the only reason people donated was cos a band told them to though.
So either Bob is still in MCR, or Bob is still just friends with Worm, who is no longer working for MCR. Or the Bob mentioned isn't Bob Bryar? Fuck knows.
People on livejournal are saying that they're taking Worm's tweet as "proof" that Bob is still in the band because that's the closest thing they're going to get until they actually see him playing in the band again -- in other words, they've lost all hope that the band or their management is going to do a damn thing to clear up the rumor and make them feel better.
Yeah, the constant number of comments changing with each page is happening on my computer too. It's not the first time it's happen. Looks like blogger is messing up again.
Nope, I think it's only an endearing nick name her parents affectionately gave her. Similar to other people calling their little girl "young lady" or baby boy "little man".
iamjustbrian dear girls of the world, please stop wearing bright red lipstick. I hate it. And that should be enough reason to stop no? oh to dream......
With all the summer festivals announcing their lineups, it looks like MCR is going to miss out on them this year. Oh well. Not that I was looking forward to seeing them or anything anyway.
With all the summer festivals announcing their lineups, it looks like MCR is going to miss out on them this year.
Coming off their win at the Brit Awards, it looks like Kasabian is going to be headlining a lot of UK festivals this summer, which probably rules out any chance that MCR would have played them anyway.
Gerard's pride would never stand for MCR being billed lower than Kasabian.
I'm so tired of hearing about how fangirls will be devastated by a break up or even if Bob has left. My God...why is someone's whole life invested in a band? they are all probably getting their Kool Aid ready as we speak.
I also noticed that that Deb person who was here...who claimed to be friends with Rose is no longer friends with Rose. And according to their Twitters it seems it is because Deb seems to think Rose shouldn't ever say a bad thing about MCR.
Why do I care? Why do I read these things? It makes me sleepy.
I've lost friends over MCR, but I figure that if they're going to choose some stupid band over me, they weren't very good friends to begin with. So, no big loss.
I think you mean Dstarpro? She's bonkers. Really, bonkers. She needs to get those razor blades hidden before the news that we all know is coming comes.
Yes her, she definitely has issues. I don't know why I was watching their Twitter accounts but that is what I gathered from it. I actually follow Rose because of her art project but I think Rose said something about Frank and the next thing dstarpro was pissed off and saying things on her Twitter that sounded like she was just trolling Rose now. Rose went private for a few days so I don't know what happened then.
Yeah if someone is really going to not be friends with you over a band, so not worth it. Does this happen with other bands? It seems MCR just really attracts some interesting and codependent fans...
MCR attracts a bunch of crazy teenagers and middle aged women who think that siding with the band on every issue and failing to think for theselves will somehow mean they're granted access into the band's inner circle. Rose herself was one of those people until she saw how they get treated and used. It's really quite sad.
Wait no, I forgot I found this little article and dstarpro was accusing Rose of being "Casey"...because Rose kept saying she wasn't Casey and didn't know Casey. Anyway, this is an interesting read regardless
I've known a lot of other fans who have passed themselves off as "journalists" before when they were little more than wannabes with a dodgy journalism degree and a fanzine.
She seems a right nutter, if you ask me. I'm not sure exactly how she is a journalist and if she even went to school for it...she probably writes for some webzines...which it does not indeed take a journalist to do. But she really thinks she has it going on.
Dstarpro is the person who came in here guns blazing, telling us all that we shouldn't be offended by Frank Iero and instead should put our effort into 'organising protests' against rapists or something. Basically she was calling us faux-feminists and making excuses for Dunce Iero.
Rose is the person who used to work for Frank Iero at Skeleton Crew, and who dished the dirt on how all Frank's friends that run his company are racists and sexists. Dstarpro used to be her friend, until she found out what Rose had been saying about poor widdle Frankie and his best fwends.
I've no idea who Casey is, but Rose used to work for S//C and then she finally got out after realizing what a joke it was. Frank basically flat out stole her art project idea by starting his fake KGB (stupid name by the way, why would you call it that?) and apparently Deb aka dstarpro just hates everyone. Except, of course, Frank.
I thought his friend Sarah was helping out too and she no longer works there. I heard she didn't get along with the people running it either. They seem to have driven out anyone who would've actually helped S//C...makes me wonder if Casey is right in that blog.
If anyone here has had any contact or experience with Gene from S//C, then they'll know what I mean when I say that anyone with any sense wouldn't touch that company with a ten foot barge pole.
LOL oh yes. I was on the message board when it was old and no one ran it. I miss a few folks from there. I miss Jen a lot, she was pretty cool. Everyone should've learned from how they shoved her away before getting involved.
i think it has a lot to do with mcr that i have a hard time taking guys who claim to be feminists seriously anymore. and it's sad for the ones who are genuine. but i suppose it's good to be suspicious as a lot of them are probably just like mcr when they claim stuff like that.
The Leeds and Reading site with the MCR rumor has tons more comments on it now. I don't think a single one of them has anything positive to say about MCR.

Do they cause earthquakes too? How about weight gain, famine, shootings. Global warming is a good one to pin on them. PMS! Let's make a list. These guys are unadulterated evil, right? So let's make a big list of all the horrible things they've caused in the world and then we can petition to have them put to sleep. For the good of mankind...or kicks.
I get that few here like them, but I wonder if you would be so quick to find amusement if one of your own life achievements were quickly falling to pieces. Whatever these guys are in their personal lives, (and yes it was a mistake to bring their personal lives on stage with them, but they aren't the first, they won't be the last)they are still people. People who seemed to give their all in making their dream come true. Wheither or not they want that dream anymore, or have any choice in the matter, they did still try. They have made mistakes, they did do things wrong, but being in that band, making music was once a dream of theirs. Anyone's dream coming to an end isn't something any person who still has dreams, should laugh at. Nor is it fair to blame them for you're own beliefs (or lack there of). I believed in them too. But I'm not looking sideways at other bands, men, for the actions of these guys. That is just ridiculous and unfair. Don't blame everyone for the actions of few. That would be as intelligent as believing all fans are fat and eat crisps. Think a bit harder, please.
Nobody here claimed that MCR was responsible for all of the evils in the world. Don't be ridiculous. We're only calling them out on their actions -- mainly the fact that they lied to us.
And quite frankly, it's a normal human response for someone who has been deceived once to be a bit more suspicious (and cautious) the next time around.
Should we suspect all men who claim to have feminist leanings of being liars simply because MCR lied about it? No, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be a bit more cautious before falling hook, line and sinker.
MCR caused a lot of us to become less naive about people and their motives. Personally, I think that's a good thing.

Wow. A little bit overboard with the hyperbole, don't you think?
At last someone is talking sense. Whatever has happened to this band, however badly they handled what was thrown at them, they certainly didn't plan it that way. Things happen, people change. It isn't evil, it's just life.
MCR had the choice of whether or not they could be honest with their fans about what kind of people they were. They chose to lie.
In the scheme of things, they're not the most evil of beings and nobody here is saying they are. But whatever happens to them, they did bring it on themselves.
I think their biggest problem was they lied to themselves.
I think you're probably right about that.
Honestly, I don't wish bad things for them. In fact, I kind of feel bad for them. It would be really great if they could learn from this experience and become better people.
When someone you look up to changes and starts to let you down, you have every right in the world to be upset about it. Isn't that what The Bouncing Souls song Kids and Heroes is about? Wondering what the hell happened to your heroes? It's natural to be pissed off. This is where people come to vent. If you don't like it, why bother with it. Instead of assuming these people know nothing about life, maybe you should think about what you're doing with yours...I don't see any of these people running to MCR loving sites and cutting at the irrational whining that goes on there when Gerard takes a breath sideways.
I agree with you 5:31, but claiming all other men or bands are untrustworthy beacause of MCR? There is something wrong with that.
The anon in question did not say she finds "all other men or bands untrustworthy". She said she had a "hard time taking guys seriously" when they claim to be feminists. I find that sad, but I'm not going to bitch at her for it. She's just being honest.
They lied about the fact that they were different and special for respecting women and women's rights within what is historically a very sexist music scene.
What kind of band pretends to be progressive in order to attract a fanbase and then does things like ask teenage girls to masturbate for them, make jokes about women being made to perform their own abortions, laughs at women being assaulted by drunk men, throw around sexist slurs, or protest that 'women shouldn't be allowed to pass stools in public rest rooms'?
They're disgusting. If they'd lapsed into mocking homosexuals or people of color with with venom and carelessness, they'd have been dropped by now. But it's okay for them to single women out to mock or humiliate, because they're just silly girls. Good for a joke.
If you guys hate MCR so much, why are you so obsessed with them and still follow everything they do? Why don't you just move on? I think you're blowing this MCR situation competely out of proportion, it's not that big of a deal, they're just a band for fuck sake!! I'd hate to see how you react when something serious actually happens! XD

They're just dumbasses from Jersey who made good. For a while.
''And I'm amazed at how many of them claim that Gerard Way saved their life. Maybe he used to be a paramedic but I'm pretty sure he's just a douche who writes emo rock songs.''
I don't really think Gerard and Joey are friends anymore. Seems like someone on lj who knows him was telling people that he didn't have a lot of good things to say about Gerard.
Seems to be the story of Gerard's life. He leaves old friends in the dust for new ones, burning his bridges along the way.
"I think you're blowing this MCR situation competely out of proportion, it's not that big of a deal, they're just a band for fuck sake!!"
Tell that to the fangirls who are swearing their lives will end should the band break up. You tell me who is blowing a situation out of proportion? And if you thought they were "just a band" then why do you feel the need to come here and defend them? oh sigh...its the same old shit isn't it?
I have a bottle of wine that is waiting to be cracked in honor of this glorious occasion...I wait with pins and needles for the end of something...anything...just end it so the fangirls can move on to their next victims and be lied to by someone else!
Then go to the last page where Bob's blogs are all under 'anonymous.' I don't think it's a sign of him leaving though, as I said, it's been like that since he deleted his twitter over 6 months ago.
Some previously unheard of site posted a rumour (apparantly heard from a friend of Bob's family) saying that Bob had left the band. Since then people have been reading into all the things the band have done over the last couple of months, like cancelling shows and suddenly going silent on us. Personally I think it's a storm in a teacup.
lol i think everyone on here secretly still loves MCR, why else would you obsessively follow them if you don't like them and they annoy you so much?! hahaha epic! XD
I've invested too much time and money into this band, because I thought they were something special, to let it go without looking back. If or rather when they crash and burn, I want to be around to see it.
Call me bitter, I don't care. They lead me and so many others on for years, so I am damn justified in feeling this way.
I couldn't care less about what happens to this band, but after feeling rather jilted by their lies I'm really kind of excited to see them do something to make more people realize who they really are. Most of their friends' bands are still signed to indies and living in NJ or NY...and the others who signed to majors hardly sold out as much as MCR. I personally feel like I wasted a lot of energy on a huge lie.
i dont think there will be a huge uproar in the fandom. like someone said hes just the drummer. even when i was a fan i got the feeling a lot of fans claimed they love bob just as to not leave him out
I'm just waiting for fans to start pointing fingers at Bob and blaming him for every bad thing that's happened with this band for the past couple of years.
A certain person who shall remain unnamed is already talking about how maybe they'll get some "good material" out of the drama surrounding his leaving. She's such a peach.
Wow. Reading the comments on LJ have actually given me a bit more hope for fans. A lot of them have already realized the band likes to lie to the fans or just ignore them completely. And a lot have also learned not to take Gerard seriously anymore. I remember way back when some fans would brush him off in an endearing way, but now they sound well pissed.
"JFC, it doesn't even sound like THEM. What the hell happened?!!??! SO fucking clinical...."
"I don't even care about the album anymore...."
"This band has become the center of a giant joke about itself. Usually I reserve that saying just for Gerard but this is one of those occasions where they all pretty much equally suck saggy disappointing old man balls. One big walking contradiction."
Four weeks? Seriously, they waited four weeks to tell people? And how long since the rumor got posted on that website? And Frank is calling it a "bullshit" website?
Sounds to me like MCR's website is the the one full of bullshit. At least the other one was telling the truth.
Someone had to edit that shit because Frank can't spell to save his own goddamned life.
Yeah, I call bullshit on this whole operation. I'm so happy some of the other fans are finding it out...too bad they didn't find out sooner so this could've finally ended.
about the bob bryar news: ahahahahah! Why am I not surprised? What would surprise me, however, is MCR ever actually finishing that record. One down 3 to go.
"As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways. This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same."
Did he quit or was he fired? I'm sure he had reasons to leave. So Gerard's throat problems were probably a lie too? Bob's leaving was the reason for all them canceling all of the shows.
I feel pretty certain that this upcoming record is just being made to fulfill contractual obligations (which Bob probably didn't have, seeing as how he wasn't an original member of the band) and that after it's done, MCR will split altogether.
That AP article URL is misleading, it makes it sound like Bob was fired. Which for all we know could be true. As of this point nearly any source would be more reliable than mcr themselves.
seems the lj fans are starting to think the story about gerard's voice was a lie to cover up bob leaving. i kind of hope it turns out that it was just so they can finally be caught in a lie with no way out. not even volup or the bn crazies could justify them out of that one.
I can't find it. But I remember it had something to do with breasts, and was a series of photos set to a song.
One image was of Bob with his eyes rolled back in his head and a drink in his hand. I just remember thinking "Man, Bob you look fat and wasted." At the time, I thought it was just a bad moment. Now I wonder if it was malicious or Bob was really fat and wasted.
Ugh after having to answer 'fuck off' to texts from many of my MCR friends telling me that Bob isn't in MCR I can finally post;
I hope Bob finds something awesome, he seems pretty cool and probably got tired of the fangirls.
Also, in other news I went to SoundWave (where MCR were meant to be) and saw some pretty cool bands, highlight was anti-flag with their anti sexism, racism speech and their songs.
But going to All Time Low. Hooooooolllyy Hell. So.Many.Fangirls. They make MCR's fanbase seem like fucking middle aged men. Fuck

The band went into the studio and just threw together some songs so they could fulfill their recording contract. The suits at Warner listened and said, "No. This shit isn't acceptable. Go back into the studio."
Then, the band went back in and wrote some more songs, putting forth just a little more effort, but still they were just trying to appease the record company. Then, Gerard started going around to all the magazines, telling them that the album was done and that it was "epic", hoping he could bullshit his way into getting Warner's okay to release it. Warner still thought it was shit and said no.
Bob got fed up and since he didn't have the same contractual obligations, he said "Fuck you guys. I'm going home." Warner then had to come up with some story to get them out of playing Soundwave. Everybody knows Gerard's vocals suck, so they took him to a throat doctor and now he's getting some kind of "treatment" so they won't get their asses sued off by the Soundwave people.
Like somebody else said, they're probably going to get this record finished to the point where Warner will release it and then they're going to call it a day.
Just a theory, but you gotta admit, it makes sense.
All of the fans going around to the various communities telling other fans how to feel need to stop. Those people are part of the reason I stopped going to fan communities.
If people are angry, they need to be allowed to be angry. If they feel deceived, they need to be able to express that without being shamed for it.
What these idiots don't realize is that by not taking others' feelings and concerns into consideration they're running them off the comms and once they're away from the comms they're more likely to stop being fans of the band. That's what happened to me.
All their old fans from LJ who would have said "WTF is this bullshit" don't seem to care at all anymore. I think they're done and they know it and they're just trying to either tie up loose ends or milk every last bit.
So I am reading so many naive posts about this band all over the place and it makes me sick. They truly think these guys are the salt of the earth and don't do any drugs, when those in the know KNOW Frank smokes weed, pops pills...and Mikey...probably more so than Frank. Oh and Gerard drinks. So many lies just to make a buck...that's pretty sad on their part. Bob probably left because he was sick of lies. Now if only Ray would get a clue and go join a real band.
i don't get all the comments about bob being an "amazing drummer". he was pretty average imo and not all that creative. matt was more creative and watching old live videos i can't hear him changing tempos which is the reason they gave for firing him.

Is Lynz clever enough to leave hints like that?
the "ready to die" part is self explanatory, so "knowing all the lyrics" means fully understanding what's going to happen?
maybe she's turning into Alicia and ELiza both of them liked for the fans to know that they had info on the guys that they couldn't share... if that makes sense...
I don't think Lindsey is smart enough to understand what a metaphor is, let alone use one.

can someone translate it for me please?i dont understand what she's saying.
This fan has a pretty good argument
They should have just broken up after PR instead of letting it drag so long.
Whatever problems the band is having, it's all Warners' fault.
Of course, before that, it was all Brian's fault.
Before that, it was all Eliza's fault.
And a long, long time ago, it was all Matt's fault.
If Bob winds up leaving, it will be all his fault too.
(Do I really need to put an "/sarcasm" here?)
my thought on the entire bob thing is why make it up? The website is obscure yea... but MCR doesn't have that huge of a following... now if it had been Tre cool....
I think nobody's reported on this so far because that site is not popular/famous for being an entertainment news site and because the person who posted it on that specific site admitted via Twitter that it's just hearsay and that they know it from someone who (allegedly) knows Bob's family in Chicago.
Also, who gives a fuck about the drummer? If it was Rumpelstilzchen or even Geefart himself. But the drummer?
Actually Siobhan... there are a lot of drummers who are really well known. Travis Barker, Tre Cool.. there's more but its early for me
I know that Happy but when it comes to MCR I personally cannot say that Bob belongs to the kind of drummers like f. e. Josh Freese who are known for their skills on the drums. To me, he's just a drummer who's easily replaceable. That's what I meant.
oh,...k
frannie must not keep good track of her "friends" if CLOve is calling GW for a singing job.. or does the fact that hes in treatment for vocal health issues not mean anything to her?
I think it would be better is MCR donated a percentage is not all the money they collect from the sale of merch for a period of time. Mummmy and Daddy are much more likey to buy merch for their little spoilts then donate to a charity.
This is a nice idea in theory, but in reality a lot of people would be cynical and accuse them of using a diaster to sell more merch. Not good press. Better to just appeal for donations or say they have already made one and encourage others to do the same. It's kinda sad if the only reason people donated was cos a band told them to though.
Well I guess CL asking GW to work with her finally puts an end to that godawful rumour that something dodgy was going on between him and FBC.
ya that was creepy
So either Bob is still in MCR, or Bob is still just friends with Worm, who is no longer working for MCR. Or the Bob mentioned isn't Bob Bryar? Fuck knows.
well bob is a pretty common name........but in this circle maybe not so much
People on livejournal are saying that they're taking Worm's tweet as "proof" that Bob is still in the band because that's the closest thing they're going to get until they actually see him playing in the band again -- in other words, they've lost all hope that the band or their management is going to do a damn thing to clear up the rumor and make them feel better.
How sad is that?
when i clicked on this blog it said it had 1477 comments and when i go to the last page it's only 1441. anyone else have that happen?
8:56,
Yeah, the constant number of comments changing with each page is happening on my computer too. It's not the first time it's happen. Looks like blogger is messing up again.
Do you think they call Bandit as Lady B so much because they regret naming her that?
Nope, I think it's only an endearing nick name her parents affectionately gave her. Similar to other people calling their little girl "young lady" or baby boy "little man".
iamjustbrian dear girls of the world, please stop wearing bright red lipstick. I hate it. And that should be enough reason to stop no? oh to dream......
Me-fucking-ow Brian.
BURRRNNN!!!
With all the summer festivals announcing their lineups, it looks like MCR is going to miss out on them this year. Oh well. Not that I was looking forward to seeing them or anything anyway.
With all the summer festivals announcing their lineups, it looks like MCR is going to miss out on them this year.
Coming off their win at the Brit Awards, it looks like Kasabian is going to be headlining a lot of UK festivals this summer, which probably rules out any chance that MCR would have played them anyway.
Gerard's pride would never stand for MCR being billed lower than Kasabian.

changes being made at Warner Bros...
I'll believe MCR is headlining Leeds and Reading when I see it, but if it is true, I hope they're ready to get bottled.
Nobody wants MCR for Reading and Leeds.
Read the comments.
I'm hoping for Soundgarden.
Meh. If MCR are scheduled to play Reading/Leeds, they'll just cancel anyway.
lol...
Care to share the joke?
MCR are the joke.
sorry thats my email..
I'm so tired of hearing about how fangirls will be devastated by a break up or even if Bob has left. My God...why is someone's whole life invested in a band? they are all probably getting their Kool Aid ready as we speak.
I also noticed that that Deb person who was here...who claimed to be friends with Rose is no longer friends with Rose. And according to their Twitters it seems it is because Deb seems to think Rose shouldn't ever say a bad thing about MCR.
Why do I care? Why do I read these things? It makes me sleepy.
I've lost friends over MCR, but I figure that if they're going to choose some stupid band over me, they weren't very good friends to begin with. So, no big loss.
I think you mean Dstarpro? She's bonkers. Really, bonkers. She needs to get those razor blades hidden before the news that we all know is coming comes.
Yes her, she definitely has issues. I don't know why I was watching their Twitter accounts but that is what I gathered from it. I actually follow Rose because of her art project but I think Rose said something about Frank and the next thing dstarpro was pissed off and saying things on her Twitter that sounded like she was just trolling Rose now. Rose went private for a few days so I don't know what happened then.
Yeah if someone is really going to not be friends with you over a band, so not worth it. Does this happen with other bands? It seems MCR just really attracts some interesting and codependent fans...
MCR attracts a bunch of crazy teenagers and middle aged women who think that siding with the band on every issue and failing to think for theselves will somehow mean they're granted access into the band's inner circle. Rose herself was one of those people until she saw how they get treated and used. It's really quite sad.
Wait no, I forgot I found this little article and dstarpro was accusing Rose of being "Casey"...because Rose kept saying she wasn't Casey and didn't know Casey. Anyway, this is an interesting read regardless
http://blogcritics.org/music/article/the-architects-announce-us-tour-dates/
Who the hell is this dstarpro anyway?
I've known a lot of other fans who have passed themselves off as "journalists" before when they were little more than wannabes with a dodgy journalism degree and a fanzine.
Is she for real?
She seems a right nutter, if you ask me. I'm not sure exactly how she is a journalist and if she even went to school for it...she probably writes for some webzines...which it does not indeed take a journalist to do. But she really thinks she has it going on.
Dstarpro is the person who came in here guns blazing, telling us all that we shouldn't be offended by Frank Iero and instead should put our effort into 'organising protests' against rapists or something. Basically she was calling us faux-feminists and making excuses for Dunce Iero.
Who's Casey? Who's Rose?
Rose is the person who used to work for Frank Iero at Skeleton Crew, and who dished the dirt on how all Frank's friends that run his company are racists and sexists. Dstarpro used to be her friend, until she found out what Rose had been saying about poor widdle Frankie and his best fwends.
I've no idea who Casey is, but Rose used to work for S//C and then she finally got out after realizing what a joke it was. Frank basically flat out stole her art project idea by starting his fake KGB (stupid name by the way, why would you call it that?) and apparently Deb aka dstarpro just hates everyone. Except, of course, Frank.
Didn't Frank's old friend Gina leave S//C too over not getting credit for her ideas/work?
Gina's designs were used for S//C merch but she never got any payment for it. Her and Frank fell out over it, iirc.
I thought his friend Sarah was helping out too and she no longer works there. I heard she didn't get along with the people running it either. They seem to have driven out anyone who would've actually helped S//C...makes me wonder if Casey is right in that blog.
If anyone here has had any contact or experience with Gene from S//C, then they'll know what I mean when I say that anyone with any sense wouldn't touch that company with a ten foot barge pole.
LOL oh yes. I was on the message board when it was old and no one ran it. I miss a few folks from there. I miss Jen a lot, she was pretty cool. Everyone should've learned from how they shoved her away before getting involved.
i think it has a lot to do with mcr that i have a hard time taking guys who claim to be feminists seriously anymore. and it's sad for the ones who are genuine. but i suppose it's good to be suspicious as a lot of them are probably just like mcr when they claim stuff like that.
The Leeds and Reading site with the MCR rumor has tons more comments on it now. I don't think a single one of them has anything positive to say about MCR.
I seriously doubt they will be headlining.

Do they cause earthquakes too? How about weight gain, famine, shootings. Global warming is a good one to pin on them. PMS! Let's make a list. These guys are unadulterated evil, right? So let's make a big list of all the horrible things they've caused in the world and then we can petition to have them put to sleep. For the good of mankind...or kicks.
I get that few here like them, but I wonder if you would be so quick to find amusement if one of your own life achievements were quickly falling to pieces. Whatever these guys are in their personal lives, (and yes it was a mistake to bring their personal lives on stage with them, but they aren't the first, they won't be the last)they are still people. People who seemed to give their all in making their dream come true. Wheither or not they want that dream anymore, or have any choice in the matter, they did still try. They have made mistakes, they did do things wrong, but being in that band, making music was once a dream of theirs. Anyone's dream coming to an end isn't something any person who still has dreams, should laugh at. Nor is it fair to blame them for you're own beliefs (or lack there of). I believed in them too. But I'm not looking sideways at other bands, men, for the actions of these guys. That is just ridiculous and unfair. Don't blame everyone for the actions of few. That would be as intelligent as believing all fans are fat and eat crisps. Think a bit harder, please.
Nobody here claimed that MCR was responsible for all of the evils in the world. Don't be ridiculous. We're only calling them out on their actions -- mainly the fact that they lied to us.
And quite frankly, it's a normal human response for someone who has been deceived once to be a bit more suspicious (and cautious) the next time around.
Should we suspect all men who claim to have feminist leanings of being liars simply because MCR lied about it? No, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be a bit more cautious before falling hook, line and sinker.
MCR caused a lot of us to become less naive about people and their motives. Personally, I think that's a good thing.

Wow. A little bit overboard with the hyperbole, don't you think?
Maybe you should be thinking a bit harder.
At last someone is talking sense. Whatever has happened to this band, however badly they handled what was thrown at them, they certainly didn't plan it that way. Things happen, people change. It isn't evil, it's just life.
MCR had the choice of whether or not they could be honest with their fans about what kind of people they were. They chose to lie.
In the scheme of things, they're not the most evil of beings and nobody here is saying they are. But whatever happens to them, they did bring it on themselves.
Oh yeah, I forgot, they lied to everyone. I think their biggest problem was they lied to themselves.
I think their biggest problem was they lied to themselves.
I think you're probably right about that.
Honestly, I don't wish bad things for them. In fact, I kind of feel bad for them. It would be really great if they could learn from this experience and become better people.
Not holding my breath on that one, though.
When someone you look up to changes and starts to let you down, you have every right in the world to be upset about it. Isn't that what The Bouncing Souls song Kids and Heroes is about? Wondering what the hell happened to your heroes? It's natural to be pissed off. This is where people come to vent. If you don't like it, why bother with it. Instead of assuming these people know nothing about life, maybe you should think about what you're doing with yours...I don't see any of these people running to MCR loving sites and cutting at the irrational whining that goes on there when Gerard takes a breath sideways.
March 2, 2010 4:50 PM, hyperbole anon. Favorite excuse for a comeback. Takes such effort, thought. Yawn.
I agree with you 5:31, but claiming all other men or bands are untrustworthy beacause of MCR? There is something wrong with that.
March 2, 2010 4:50 PM, hyperbole anon. Favorite excuse for a comeback. Takes such effort, thought. Yawn.
LOL. And yet the comeback was still so effective. Guess that only goes to show how idiotic all your overdramatic b.s. was, huh?
I agree with you 5:31, but claiming all other men or bands are untrustworthy beacause of MCR? There is something wrong with that.
The anon in question did not say she finds "all other men or bands untrustworthy". She said she had a "hard time taking guys seriously" when they claim to be feminists. I find that sad, but I'm not going to bitch at her for it. She's just being honest.
March 2, 2010 4:50 PM, hyperbole anon. Favorite excuse for a comeback. Takes such effort, thought. Yawn.
And all your hyperbolic nonsense was original? Oh honey. You put so much effort into that, didn't you?
Can I just ask a question?
Everyone keeps saying MCR lied, about what exactly?
They lied about the fact that they were different and special for respecting women and women's rights within what is historically a very sexist music scene.
What kind of band pretends to be progressive in order to attract a fanbase and then does things like ask teenage girls to masturbate for them, make jokes about women being made to perform their own abortions, laughs at women being assaulted by drunk men, throw around sexist slurs, or protest that 'women shouldn't be allowed to pass stools in public rest rooms'?
They're disgusting. If they'd lapsed into mocking homosexuals or people of color with with venom and carelessness, they'd have been dropped by now. But it's okay for them to single women out to mock or humiliate, because they're just silly girls. Good for a joke.
If you guys hate MCR so much, why are you so obsessed with them and still follow everything they do? Why don't you just move on? I think you're blowing this MCR situation competely out of proportion, it's not that big of a deal, they're just a band for fuck sake!! I'd hate to see how you react when something serious actually happens! XD
BN wants a MCR broadway play.

They're just dumbasses from Jersey who made good. For a while.
Maybe when your personal rights and dignity are violated 1:53, you'll know why we're upset.

''And I'm amazed at how many of them claim that Gerard Way saved their life. Maybe he used to be a paramedic but I'm pretty sure he's just a douche who writes emo rock songs.''
Love it.
so according to Wikipedia Gw created the breakfeast monkey with a guy named Joe Boyle.... never heard him entioned before
Honestly, 1:53, why do you care how we feel about MCR?
It's not like we go to your fansites and vent about them. We come here to this tiny corner of the internet to talk to like-minded individuals.
What I don't understand is why you felt it necessary to seek this place out.
You stay in your little world where all the fangirls think Gerard and Co. hung the moon and we'll come here and talk about how he didn't.
I knew the guy was called Joe. I saw this short video about it ages ago.
I don't really think Gerard and Joey are friends anymore. Seems like someone on lj who knows him was telling people that he didn't have a lot of good things to say about Gerard.
Seems to be the story of Gerard's life. He leaves old friends in the dust for new ones, burning his bridges along the way.
6:53, thanks for posting that. I like Josh Thomas.
You stay in your little world where all the fangirls think Gerard and Co. hung the moon and we'll come here and talk about how he didn't.
Seriously. I'm getting damn tired of people telling me to 'move on'. I'll move on when I'm damn good and ready, thanks.

It's hilarious to see how threatened they seem to feel by us 'ten commenters' on this blog.
"I think you're blowing this MCR situation competely out of proportion, it's not that big of a deal, they're just a band for fuck sake!!"
Tell that to the fangirls who are swearing their lives will end should the band break up. You tell me who is blowing a situation out of proportion? And if you thought they were "just a band" then why do you feel the need to come here and defend them? oh sigh...its the same old shit isn't it?
Bob's blogs have been moved to the back of the Community page on MCR.com and are no longer under his name, just anon.
No one in MCR has tweeted since the news broke that they were cancelling shows.
Doesn't look good, folks.
I have a bottle of wine that is waiting to be cracked in honor of this glorious occasion...I wait with pins and needles for the end of something...anything...just end it so the fangirls can move on to their next victims and be lied to by someone else!
Doesn't look good, folks.
Dunno, looks GREAT for me though!!!!
Bob's blogs have been moved to the back of the Community page on MCR.com and are no longer under his name, just anon.
Seriously?
Why can't this band actually communicate with their fans? It's shoddy behaviour, and makes them look like they really couldn't give a shit.
Bobs blogs were removed from the MCR website in July of last year- the same time he got rid of his twitter.
Is there a link to the blogs? I can't see where you mean?
http://www.mychemicalromance.com/community
Then go to the last page where Bob's blogs are all under 'anonymous.' I don't think it's a sign of him leaving though, as I said, it's been like that since he deleted his twitter over 6 months ago.
Thanks. Erm, why do we think MCR are doomed at the moment?
Some previously unheard of site posted a rumour (apparantly heard from a friend of Bob's family) saying that Bob had left the band. Since then people have been reading into all the things the band have done over the last couple of months, like cancelling shows and suddenly going silent on us. Personally I think it's a storm in a teacup.
it's not like we weren't predicting a breakup before that site posted the rumor.
Erm, why do we think MCR are doomed at the moment?
Actually, some the fangirls are the ones who really started the doom and gloom predictions about MCR after Brian made his tweet about building an ark.
Some of us agree, some don't, and others don't really care.
It's not like we all have one mind here.
lol i think everyone on here secretly still loves MCR, why else would you obsessively follow them if you don't like them and they annoy you so much?! hahaha epic! XD
XD XD XD XD XD
I've invested too much time and money into this band, because I thought they were something special, to let it go without looking back. If or rather when they crash and burn, I want to be around to see it.
Call me bitter, I don't care. They lead me and so many others on for years, so I am damn justified in feeling this way.
Apparently, we annoy you quite a lot too, 5:27 or you wouldn't be on here watching us.
Haha. Epic.
XD yourself.
Lol at the influx of fangirls since the break-up rumors started.
We must really be getting under their skin right about now.
maybe they're having doubts of their own but are still in denial
nah! i'm not a fangirl i don't really give a crap tbh lol! i just think you guys are pretty funny and you don't annoy me! XD
If you don't give a crap why are you here lol!
I couldn't care less about what happens to this band, but after feeling rather jilted by their lies I'm really kind of excited to see them do something to make more people realize who they really are. Most of their friends' bands are still signed to indies and living in NJ or NY...and the others who signed to majors hardly sold out as much as MCR. I personally feel like I wasted a lot of energy on a huge lie.
Bob left the band. Its on the site.
Ugh, that's all? I was hoping they would just break up...this is just boring.
How...........anticlimactic.
i dont think there will be a huge uproar in the fandom. like someone said hes just the drummer. even when i was a fan i got the feeling a lot of fans claimed they love bob just as to not leave him out
@7:54 Bob is the only one of them I like. He was always my favorite and the only reason I clung to the band for so long.
I beg to differ, 7:54
http://community.livejournal.com/tothetune/62745.html
I'm just waiting for fans to start pointing fingers at Bob and blaming him for every bad thing that's happened with this band for the past couple of years.
A certain person who shall remain unnamed is already talking about how maybe they'll get some "good material" out of the drama surrounding his leaving. She's such a peach.
Seriously, a lot of fans have said this is the last straw for them. I know a lot of people who only like Ray and Bob.
who's that certain person?
and i skimmed that lj post and someone called frank's blog "clinical". i agree, it read with no real feeling.
this person should come to this blog
http://community.livejournal.com/tothetune/62745.html?thread=834841#t834841
Wow. Reading the comments on LJ have actually given me a bit more hope for fans. A lot of them have already realized the band likes to lie to the fans or just ignore them completely. And a lot have also learned not to take Gerard seriously anymore. I remember way back when some fans would brush him off in an endearing way, but now they sound well pissed.
"I just really wish I knew what was going on."
"JFC, it doesn't even sound like THEM. What the hell happened?!!??! SO fucking clinical...."
"I don't even care about the album anymore...."
"This band has become the center of a giant joke about itself. Usually I reserve that saying just for Gerard but this is one of those occasions where they all pretty much equally suck saggy disappointing old man balls. One big walking contradiction."
who's that certain person?
Resident Buzznet Loon.
Four weeks? Seriously, they waited four weeks to tell people? And how long since the rumor got posted on that website? And Frank is calling it a "bullshit" website?
Sounds to me like MCR's website is the the one full of bullshit. At least the other one was telling the truth.
Someone had to edit that shit because Frank can't spell to save his own goddamned life.
Yeah, I call bullshit on this whole operation. I'm so happy some of the other fans are finding it out...too bad they didn't find out sooner so this could've finally ended.
Looks like this has made it to ONTD. I'm sure there will be lots of "MCR still exists" comments there. Oh well.
*grabs popcorn*
Typical ONTD comment:
the 14 year old inside me is shaking and crying
the 19 year old that I am does not give a fuck
LOL!
It's been confirmed Ladies and Jellyspoons! It's the beginning of the end...
Bob got the boot from MCR. Check it out:
http://www.altpress.com/news/bryarbooted.htm
about the bob bryar news: ahahahahah! Why am I not surprised? What would surprise me, however, is MCR ever actually finishing that record. One down 3 to go.
oh shit, it's all kicking off on brian's twitter.
So how long before they told people if that site hadn't broken the news? Next year?
And wtf? They're still recording and writing new songs? I thought the record was done but for the mixing.
I was holding out hope that they were not the douches everybody here always says they are but now I think I have to admit that you all were right.
FUCK YOU, MCR!
"As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways. This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same."
Did he quit or was he fired? I'm sure he had reasons to leave. So Gerard's throat problems were probably a lie too? Bob's leaving was the reason for all them canceling all of the shows.
I hope they get their ass sued off by the Soundwave promoters.
And wtf? They're still recording and writing new songs? I thought the record was done but for the mixing.
Maybe Bob quit because he didn't like the songs. The one's i heard sounded like crap.
When did they announce that Gerard was having trouble with his voice?
When did they announce that Gerard was having trouble with his voice?
The post was dated Feb 4, so you know, like, 4 weeks ago. Sound familiar?
I feel pretty certain that this upcoming record is just being made to fulfill contractual obligations (which Bob probably didn't have, seeing as how he wasn't an original member of the band) and that after it's done, MCR will split altogether.
I feel pretty certain that this upcoming record is just being made to fulfill contractual obligations
I think you're correct. They should have finished after ProRev.
That AP article URL is misleading, it makes it sound like Bob was fired. Which for all we know could be true. As of this point nearly any source would be more reliable than mcr themselves.
So Bob Bryar officially left mcr then? I just checked my twitter account and being from the Chicago area, it's a huge trending topic right now.
People are freaking out left and right like it was the apocalypse.
seems the lj fans are starting to think the story about gerard's voice was a lie to cover up bob leaving. i kind of hope it turns out that it was just so they can finally be caught in a lie with no way out. not even volup or the bn crazies could justify them out of that one.
Anyone recall the very odd film clip that Frank posted that had a very wasted looking Bob Bryar in it?
Considering the news...what was that?
no? when did he post that? i really want to see that now.
I can't find it. But I remember it had something to do with breasts, and was a series of photos set to a song.
One image was of Bob with his eyes rolled back in his head and a drink in his hand. I just remember thinking "Man, Bob you look fat and wasted." At the time, I thought it was just a bad moment. Now I wonder if it was malicious or Bob was really fat and wasted.
ohhh that, i do kind of remember that. i didn't watch the whole thing cos it was rather disgusting.
and of course there are the few fans on lj who are defending the band, saying the band doesn't owe fans any further explanation etc.
I found it. Yep, it's pretty disgusting, and Bob looks creepy.

sorry no link.
If they're continuing to record who is filling in for Bob?
A drum machine?
KITTY!
Or not.
Maybe they're using the monkey Geetard rented for Lynzoid's buffday! LOL
I wouldn't surprise me in the least if it were Kitty. I favor for the amazing wife no doubt.
*it
Lynzoid's buffday
Gerard would have made her have a "buff" day.
I wouldn't surprise me in the least if it were Kitty. I favor for the amazing wife no doubt.
You're joking, Kitty is replacing Bob?
no that's not a fact or even a rumor. it just fits given gerard's history of doing msi "favors"
I suppose Gerard has a place marked out for Lynzoid in MCR too?
Nah, they'll probably get another male drummer. Having a girl wouldn't go with their boyband image.
Looks like Matt Cortez has a new job.
that's true. they couldn't sink to the level of having a :gasp: GIRL in their uber macho metal rock n roll penis band.
Just a small amendment 11:16:
that's true. they couldn't sink to the level of having a :gasp: GIRL in their uber macho metal rock n roll small penis band.
Here's hoping that Bob's replacement is hawt and single.
and not racist, sexist, or homophobic.
Why is Lero breaking all the news? Why not Toro or MW?
Here's hoping that Bob's replacement is hawt and single.
They're gonna need him. They're a band of old married fogeys that happen to think they are uber macho metal rock n roller's.
Ugh after having to answer 'fuck off' to texts from many of my MCR friends telling me that Bob isn't in MCR I can finally post;
I hope Bob finds something awesome, he seems pretty cool and probably got tired of the fangirls.
Also, in other news I went to SoundWave (where MCR were meant to be) and saw some pretty cool bands, highlight was anti-flag with their anti sexism, racism speech and their songs.
But going to All Time Low. Hooooooolllyy Hell. So.Many.Fangirls. They make MCR's fanbase seem like fucking middle aged men. Fuck

They seem to be considering the possibility that the band lied at least.
When are the videos of Frank all fat, drunk and high coming out?
some of the most exciting and honest work we have ever created
Translation: MCR is the new Leathermouth.
don't scare us.
this means that the album is probably puished back till this winter or next year..
If they're are rewriting songs Bob may have left over the direction they were taking. A more hardcore direction and 2:19 could be right.
My theory:
The band went into the studio and just threw together some songs so they could fulfill their recording contract. The suits at Warner listened and said, "No. This shit isn't acceptable. Go back into the studio."
Then, the band went back in and wrote some more songs, putting forth just a little more effort, but still they were just trying to appease the record company. Then, Gerard started going around to all the magazines, telling them that the album was done and that it was "epic", hoping he could bullshit his way into getting Warner's okay to release it. Warner still thought it was shit and said no.
Bob got fed up and since he didn't have the same contractual obligations, he said "Fuck you guys. I'm going home." Warner then had to come up with some story to get them out of playing Soundwave. Everybody knows Gerard's vocals suck, so they took him to a throat doctor and now he's getting some kind of "treatment" so they won't get their asses sued off by the Soundwave people.
Like somebody else said, they're probably going to get this record finished to the point where Warner will release it and then they're going to call it a day.
Just a theory, but you gotta admit, it makes sense.
My theory is that Gerard is off his nut again. Bob probably just got sick of it.
Frank could have been an asshole. That may have been the final straw that broke the camel's back.
All of the fans going around to the various communities telling other fans how to feel need to stop. Those people are part of the reason I stopped going to fan communities.
If people are angry, they need to be allowed to be angry. If they feel deceived, they need to be able to express that without being shamed for it.
What these idiots don't realize is that by not taking others' feelings and concerns into consideration they're running them off the comms and once they're away from the comms they're more likely to stop being fans of the band. That's what happened to me.
All their old fans from LJ who would have said "WTF is this bullshit" don't seem to care at all anymore. I think they're done and they know it and they're just trying to either tie up loose ends or milk every last bit.
No one can tell you how you feel or how you should feel. If you're pissed off, you're pissed off.
I think when and if this record ever comes out it's going to be an anti-climax after all the drama surrounding it.
Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, guys.
But I guess that's what they're best at.
Bob could have been fed up with all the songs Gerard wrote about Lynz and expected better only the other band members caved in.
As far as I know, Gerard only wrote the one song about Lindsey. I seriously doubt Bob's leaving had anything to do with her.
Ya because the world needs a song about Lindsey.
So I am reading so many naive posts about this band all over the place and it makes me sick. They truly think these guys are the salt of the earth and don't do any drugs, when those in the know KNOW Frank smokes weed, pops pills...and Mikey...probably more so than Frank. Oh and Gerard drinks. So many lies just to make a buck...that's pretty sad on their part. Bob probably left because he was sick of lies. Now if only Ray would get a clue and go join a real band.

i don't get all the comments about bob being an "amazing drummer". he was pretty average imo and not all that creative. matt was more creative and watching old live videos i can't hear him changing tempos which is the reason they gave for firing him.
I've heard people say that he speeds up in This Is The Best Day Ever on Bullets, but I haven't listened to it closely enough to discern for sure.
ok so this is completely off topic, but i've heard alot of people talk about alicia causing some drama, what the heck is that about?
