Final installment of my "Classic MCR Live Reviews" series ! It has been a long journey since the start of this little project of mine, and it is now coming to a close with the final MCR show I saw before their hiatus. With this, I am hoping to be able to share many more experiences with you all here, and am hoping that you all will be able to share right back. Heck, maybe I'll see you at a show someday and we can share our experiences in person! My Chemical Romance with Billy Talent and Drive By @ Lifestyle Pavilion, May 4, 2008. NOTE: This was originally posted a the time of the show and has received little editing --- You know what makes for very little sleep? Going to an MCR show the night/morning after your concert companion's prom. Fun times, indeed. The day of May 3rd, while most of my friends were getting dressed up and prissy for prom, I was preparing all my usual MCR show needs, you know: Gatorade for in-line hydration, sunscreen, saltines to help calm my st...

A few days ago on formspring, one of my followers asked about how I knew the titles of the new tracks from My Chemical Romance's upcoming release. To answer, I "tracked" back through my blog archives to find all of them and their origins (initial mentions) and evolutions (name changes or typo-driven errors) within the press. I think this is a pretty complete list of all the titles they have publicly announced; so, I thought I would post it here as an information reference. Before any new songs came about, there were: "Stay" (fan-titled) "The World is Ugly" (also fan-titled) Tentative titles from Mikey's "practice cam" blog entries : "The World is Ugly" "Teenage Girl" ”Drugs” ”Pretty[..?]” “Gun” “Tokyo Death” “Monster Jam” “City Lights” “Trans-Am” “Still Alive” July 22, 2009: "Siren Song" ? (probably just the video title ) The Roxy Songs : "Death Before Disco" "The Drugs" “L.A. Heavy” (as ...

On Gerard's Birthday, what should we try to trend?

In a short interview blurb posted by Rock Sound , My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way explains that the band's upcoming album posed a "less-is-more" challenge. "It was a huge challenge and we had to do this album with less," the singer admits. "We had to do it without falling on the crutches of My Chemical Romance doing a Cheap Trick song or My Chemical Romance doing a Kurt Ballou song. We changed sweeping statements for bold gestures and tried to write massive songs without needing a marching band to fill them out. We tried to be honest and as loud as we could while being as plain as we could, our record is definitely not dumbed down it is just very very direct." XoXo c.

Siren Studios has posted preview images of those that will run in the May issue of Nylon Guys Magazine . Be sure to check out the issue for a full interview! I'll post more information here as soon as I have it! ::EDIT Both Nylon and Nylon Guys have posted a few quotes from the article as well as a slideshow of more images. In the full article, Way describes elements of the upcoming album's artwork, explaining that the quality of photography is grainy, but mixed with it are clean typefaces. According to Way, the band has been able to put much more focus on the album artwork this time. According to Nylon , "Way plans to work on the cover art for his album." Way describes a new song titled "Detonator Baby" in which he claims there is a line about spitting on a celebrity, which Way claims he would love to do. The article is really dense with fact and paraphrasing and few quotes. It's an interesting take on a snapshot of MCR history that we have yet to se...
