August 8, 2012: My Chemical Romance Tidbits

Between my digging up arrest reports and generally writing news for Alternative Press today, I noticed quite a few My Chemical Romance happenings.

Because of MCRupdate's the recent announcement that she would no longer be updating, I figured I would try to post a little more more here to attempt to make up for the loss.

Of course, I'll never be able to keep up at the magnitude she did, but little things that I would normally just tweet then move on, I'll try to compile into an occasional digest so they'll be less likely to be missed.

August 8, 2012

Bullet Cable posted a second video interview from MCR guitar tech "Punk Rock Dave" talking about equipment.

The awesome thing about this video: It was shot inside what Bullet Cable calls "MCR's secret studio," supposedly that studio the band mentioned they were building in Los Angeles many months ago.

Watch the new interview below and the first in the series here.



You can see more of the studio in the pictures MCRupdates compiled that were originally posted by engineer Doug McKean (a little more about McKean.)

On August 1, Epiphone posted about the limited edition, green version of Frank Iero's Wilshire Phant-o-Matic guitar (pictured left.) I just saw this today and thought it was worth noting!

My Chemical Romance Mystery Twitter Accounts

Image
Shortly after the cryptic change of My Chemical Romance's website, a strange Twitter account called "Dr. Death Defying" appeared. It was followed by only NewsAGoGo and a friend of the band when it reached out mysteriously to one fan, who tipped everyone off. It was later followed (then subsequently unfollowed) by both Ray Toro and Frank Iero. Things got weird. Here's how it's going down so far... September 3, 2010 Dr. Death Defying : Look alive sunshine. Shits all fucked up in the zones. Dr. Death Defying : Words are gasoline, motorbabies Dr. Death Defying : @thankthevenom Look alive... Dr. Death Defying : @thesnackfairy There are more pills produced in Battery City than grains of sand in Zone 4. -- NewsAGoGo : complete blackout. generators on stand-by. noise outside. screaming. static. sounds like...like, robots dying... -- Dr. Death Defying : @thatkkbitch Answer: Popping nitros near Wolfblood Beach will break more than your heart, it'll ...

Dear Bob Bryar: In Honor of Dixie

Image
"I don't even know what happened to my best friend and miss her more than anything in the world," Bryar tells PEOPLE. "The devastation I feel is beyond words." Source: People[dot]com According to People[dot]com, My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar recently received a devastating shock when, a week after sending his German Shepard mix companion to a trainer, he received her cremated remains without a clear explanation for the dog's death. The drummer is filing a lawsuit against the trainer, who has changed the story of Dixie's death multiple times and who acted without Bryar's permission to cremate her. My Chemical Romance fans are well-aware of how much Dixie meant to Bob, and some of us even became personally attached after his blog series and frequent twitter updates in which he shared stories of their drive across the country together to get home. Bob rescued Dixie from a Southern shelter, inspiring her well-fitting name and, from what we have s...
