I am looking for some help on the news side of Ray-Toro.com, since I am very busy with work right now and will be for some time and it holds me back from updating the site myself. If you are interested please email me at admin@ray-toro.com with the subject line “Ray-Toro.com: News Helper” and with three relatively recent news articles that you would post if chosen. I will make my selection within the next week, so get them in now and tell your friends if they are interested. :D

Well it has been a long time since I last posted here, but I have a good reason. It is called the acquisition of a social life and a boyfriend, so there :) Anyways, let me start off at the top MCR have still not announced the date near my city and I will hold out until they do.

Next, Diligence has won the Site of the Month award from Hopelessly Hopeful! Thanks Leenie!!

You know it is day’s like this while checking my email at work and seeing a gem like this that makes you want to keep working to make this the best fansite ever.

The web-site that changed the way i thought about Ray Toro

Well what can i say, The ‘fro-man’ is really a man of wisdom. As a fellow EMO kid m sure many people will think that Gerard Way ( lead singer) is the ‘maker’ of MCR but its Gerard, Ray AND MATT (former drummer) who made everything it is now. Ray your a top man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Diligence has won Site of the Month at GerardsWay again! Thanks so much, Tanya!

I have added hi-res scans of Playmusic Issue 2, Outburn 37, Kerrang! 1139, 1141, 1143 to the gallery, and am working on Kerrang! 1142 and NME 01.27.07.

Oh and about the jar of cookies, I just wanted some cookies, so there they are :D

Rolling Stone, mystery Tour Dates

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*
