Quick update

January 22nd, 2007

Just a heads up that I am still here and yesterday I was able to get some magazines and I will be scanning them in later today, they include Kerrang! issues #1139, 1141, and Klassic and OutBurn. I have the infamous Kerrang! issue #1142 on order since we here in Canada get Kerrang! a week or so late. :D (and unless someone from the UK wants to send me a subscription form by post or Kerrang! decides to allow the use of PayPal for payment I will not be getting it any sooner)

(Single) life, Wisdom (teeth), (12 page Kerrang!) Devotion

January 17th, 2007

*points at title* Yeah I have a screwed up sense of humour, if you do not like it well then stop reading the post titles :D

Before I forget I finally posted my review of ‘The Black Parade’ over at my media review log. Head on over to check it out <3

Okay let’s run down the news of the week first off, Frank did not play in Japan as he had his wisdom teeth removed and became ill after the surgery, he is confirmed to be joining the tour in Australia, but no guarantees on New Zealand.

This week’s Kerrang! (Issue 1142) features a 12-page article on My Chemical Romance from their beginnings to the present. Check it out in your local bookstore, magazine shop, etc.
*waggles eyebrows at Kerrang! to send her a subscription…. waggles eyebrows at NME, Rock Sound, Blender as well*

Gerard Way has admitted to Kerrang! that he is single and has been since shortly after recording ‘Famous Last Words’ [ image . source ]

Gerard Way, Reveals the Agonizing Break-Up that shaped “The Black Parade

This is not something I’ve ever told anyone else. I had been in a long-term relationship and it fell apart during the making of The Black Parade. I’m alone right now, for the first time in 10 years. That’s not something people know about me. It’s really hard. I’ve had girlfriends since I was 17 or 18. Now I’m 29
It wasn’t something that anybody did. It was a six year relationship that ended. It was practically marriage. It was with someone who knew me before the band. Halfway through recording-literally just when I had finished tracking the vocal parts and chorus line to Famous Last Words- I realized that line (‘I am not afraid to walk this world alone’) was the truth. I broke up with her a week later.
I had to fly back and talk to her, move my stuff out. It was brutal.
But I’ve been enjoying being free and not having to make phone calls. It’s a good feeling at first -but then you check into a hotel room and realize there’s no one who misses you like a girlfriend misses you. I’ll sit there and stare at the wall.
When we were on our last European run I would just go out at night and walk around alone, thinking, ‘Well this is interesting….’

Anyways, I uploaded the smaller and tagged versions of my scans. If you would like the larger versions please feel free to comment here with your email, or email me at admin@ray-toro.com

I also uploaded some new scans from Revolver, NME and Blender:

Rolling Stone, mystery Tour Dates

December 15th, 2006

Thank you everyone (both commenters and those who emailed me) for the warm welcome to my new domain! <3

Rolling Stone has placed The Black Parade as #20 in their Top 50 Albums of 2006. Pretty good for only being released at the end of October :smile:

This New Jersey band’s third studio album is the best mid-Seventies record of 2006 — an ingenious, unrestrained paraphrasing of the over-the-top glam theater of Queen and classic Alice Cooper. The relentless message of Parade is: Life sucks, and death is no great escape. But My Chemical Romance rev up the pathos with an arena-ripe panache that ensures their trip to the mausoleum will run right through Madison Square Garden.

MORE?

Also on the official site, there has been a change on the Tour Dates page,

12/15/2006 – New Tour Dates Coming Soon, @@@@ Stay Tuned For Details

You can stick to the official page, or you can just stay here since I will be on top of all the upcoming tour dates for 2007+ :D That’s right you love me and you will all stay right where you are *hands out cookies and juice*
