Cassie The Venomous' Blog

Today's issue of Kerrang! Magazine featured an article about My Chemical Romance. MCR.Com user _Apple posted scans of the two-page spread on her blog. In the article, Gerard Way explains the new breed of angst in and meticulous process of this album, which he says is NOT a concept album as would almost be expected from MCR at this point. With this band, however, one has to learn to expect the unexpected. Gerard Way says of the upcoming "dirty rock 'n roll" album: "Oh, it's filthy . That's what I love about it!" If there is any semblance of a concept on this album, it will probably have to do with MCR's "being the best My Chemical Romance [they] can be" and falling into a more definitive place in music. The band members seem to have remarkable confidence in this album, and I have remarkable confidence in them. "And now, [Gerard] continues, "there's angst, but it's different. I think we're rebelling now as a rock ...

The first of my fourteen-part "Classic MCR Reviews" blog series. Originally posted on March 11, 2005 on GreatestJournal.Com DISCLAIMER: I wrote this when I was 15 and have edited very little... Just saying. ------ We go back to Monday night around 1:30 A.M.. I am sitting in my room with an insane grin on my face discovering new bumps and bruises everywhere on my body "God, I wasn't even on the floor. How the hell did I get all these?" My mind springs back, recalling almost passing out from exhausting myself during "Thank you For the Venom." "Oh, that's how." My grin broadens. Ah, beautiful... So, I woke up the day of the show and was completely and utterly excited, knowing that later on I would be seeing my beautiful chemical romance. I bathed and picked out the more comfortable of my MCR shirts and threw on my pants, only to discover that my mom wasn't going to drive me to Hara Arena (in Dayton where Taste of Chaos was) until later. ...

I haven't known them very long, they didn't save my life, and I haven't been to a concert... I'm not a very good fan Being an active member of the My Chemical Romance online fan community and running my own MCR chat , I see this a lot. It honestly breaks my heart. The members of My Chemical Romance, from the beginning, have been creating a supportive community of people who can relate to one another through music when it is hard to relate to anyone else. MCR's music speaks to people and brings people together. A My Chemical Romance fan is just that- a fan with a love for the band's music. Or, at least, that's how it should be. Unfortunately, there is a degree of unspoken elitism that some exude over other fans, contrary to the band's mission to give us a community where we are equals. I'm noticing it now more than ever: newer fans are feeling inferior because they haven't known about My Chemical Romance for as long as some other fans or because t...

My Chemical Romance guitarist Ray Toro posted a new blog entry announcing with whom MCR are mixing their upcoming album and gave insight to a few of the nine completed tracks. Toro writes that Rich Costey, who mixed MCR's 2006 Life on the Murder Scene , is working as mixer for their upcoming album. He also notes that the mixing style and ultimate goal they and Costey have followed for this album "is to make it loud, and then make it louder then that." Some song titles Toro mentioned in the post are: Still Alive "very drum and bass oriented" Save Yourself "mix of Judas Priest metal and 80's arena rock" The Only Hope for Me is You Has string arrangements from David Campbell Trans Am "an epic take on 'Born To Run' in 4 minutes" Death Before Disco Played at The Roxy shows Kiss the Ring Played at the Roxy. Also known by fans as "Kiss the Rain" or "LA Heavy" Black Dragon Fighting Society "ode to Misfits...
