One of the Many Reasons (Frank Iero)...

...why I love My Chemical Romance. The video for which I will later provide a link was taken at Projekt Revolution in Tampa, Florida on August 11th, 2007, which I attended, and which also happened to be singer Gerard Way's 3rd "soberversary," as we in the MCRmy like to call it.

This video was taken by Youtube user Musicislife428, and though I do not know exactly who that person is, I know she had to have been standing very near me for this footage to have been shot. This is rhythm guitarist, Frank Iero at the end of "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" doing what I feel is one of his most admirable and common actions- being one of us kids. I was right in front of him when this happened, and I think you can see my hand a little bit in the background of the video. Anyway, watch:


"Projekt Revolution 8/11 MCR Im Not Okay..Frank is Awesome"


Frankie's birthday is coming up in two weeks- this Hallowe'en. So, this is my early birthday tribute to his amazing-ness. I think there will be more to come.

XoXo

Awesome, dude! Next time you see me in person say "Hi," for sure! It's funny that you noticed my over-abundance of MCR merchandise. I purposefully wore different MCR shirts for the first 29 days of school, and no one really took note. Ha-ha!

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...
