I have returned from my work-related assembly in the middle of nowhere! So let me first introduce two new affiliates, MCR Cemetery and My Italian Chemical Romance.

Now onto the TBP news. In an email sent to those who signed up for email updates *points to self* was the following:

WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE

Now come one come all to this tragic affair
Wipe of that make-up – what’s in is despair
So throw on the black dress
Mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you’re someone you’re not

The Black Parade – coming October 24th.
Windows / Quicktime

(and no that is not a typo on my part at “Wipe of that make-up”)

Lee’s The Black Parade Speculation

I was sitting here at my computer looking at the new The Black Parade background image of the ghostly members and was thinking to the whole idea of The Black Parade and being my sleep deprived self I had an idea. What if The Black Parade is a tour? Like Vans Warped Tour or something along those lines.

Whatever it is, we will find out shortly.. uhh in a few months :D

I love being a lurking member of a community, and then seeing others mention your websites and reading what is written. Like this entry from mcr_dict.lj.com. I enjoy when others appreciate the hard work that I have put into my sites, it is really honestly appreciated.

In answer to their question, I had never seen the entry about fro-motion before and it truly is a coincidence :D To celebrate, let us all join in the swaying fro-motion love :D

EDIT: Also before I forget (further) please vote for MCR at the Kerrang Awards for the Best Band on the Planet and for most anticipated album at Rock Sound Magazine. Show the guys your love! <3 <3

MCR Disspells the rumours!

From their official MySpace

Dear Everyone,

Now that the dust has settled and we are healing and moving forward, we felt it best to explain to everyone to some degree what has happened to MCR in the past week. There are tons of rumors and allegations floating around and we want to clear it all up for you. We also want to express our gratitude for the concern, care, and understanding all of our fans and friends have shown us in the past week. Here are the facts for you all and please know that none of the injuries sustained were permanent nor intentional and it really proves that sometimes these things happen and every person should truly value what they have. Last week, while shooting a new video for our new record, 2 of us sustained some damage more than we normally would have. Gerard tore multiple ligaments in his ankle and Bob received a bad burn to the back of his leg. These injuries were sustained on Thursday evening. On Friday morning we drove to San Diego to prepare for our performance at Street Scene that we were very excited about. After seeing doctors, we decided to give it our all and rehearse on Friday night. This proved impossible. The pain was overwhelming and we could not pull through without further injuring ourselves. We hate canceling shows, especially now that we are done recording and just want to play. So there you have it, there were no car wrecks, monster attacks or alien abductions, but there were serious injuries that required this to be the way. We apologize for it coming down so last minute and never wished it to end up that way. We promise to be back in San Diego this year. We miss you all and will see you soon,

MCR

Street Scene Cancellation

As you all may already be aware of MCR backed out of the Street Scene performance yesterday, but there is a reasonable explanation. According to multiple sources who were at Street Scene, MCR was there, but they were unable to perform due to Gerard and Bob both injuring themselves on set of their new music video. Gerard is reported to have broken his ankle, while Bob suffered possible third degree burns to the back of his legs, neck and hands. So please keep the guys (all of them) in your thoughts and wish them a speeding recovery. Get better soon guys! (much love from Diligence, but mostly from Lee <3 <3 <3 <3 ) [sources: theblackparade.lj.com, AOL Music]
