Pretty sure I found the inspiration for MCR’s music video...

Pretty sure I found the inspiration for MCR’s music video Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough for the Two of Us. It’s called Audition, a Japanese film about a man that holds an audition to find a wife, but the woman he picks turns out to be some crazy psycho murderer clad in a white dress, black pleather apron and black gloves. Sound familiar?

Watch the music video, then watch the movie, you’ll catch every similarity.

One warning, the movie is pretty intense and gory and super disturbing, especially the torture scene at the end.

FUCKING AMAZING SHOW. It was seriously like one big party, well...

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:15:52 -0400

FUCKING AMAZING SHOW. It was seriously like one big party, well a party of me, my friend and 5 other girls that happened to be just as obsessed. Everyone else sort of just sat there waiting for Blink to come on.

Which leads me to my one complaint. I like Blink 182. They’re not my favorite, but I do like them. I would NEVER go to one of their concerts and deliberately insult them while they’re playing. I was so sick of the fucking drunk douche bags behind us screaming GAY! every time My Chem finished a song. Okay your not a huge fan of the band, I get that, I don’t expect you to go spastic like we did. But seriously, it’s not even about having respect for the band, it’s about respecting music in general. That goes right up there with being called emo while waiting outside at the House of Blues. But, as I was wisely told, “you’re not here for those douches, you’re here for them.”

And other than the idiots behind us, yes it was fucking awesome! And the massive down pour the whole time seemed to make it that much better. We were all soaked to the bone, but still dancing through every song. Even though there were only 7 of us dancing and screaming it still felt like an army. We could hear every one in the pit screaming and going just as spastic as we were. And in the end, no matter how many haters were around us, MCR, as always, put on a fucking fantastic show.

This local acoustic cover band, Naked Radio, is AMAZING. This is...

MCR Giveaway!!

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:35:49 -0400

MCR Giveaway!!:

fyeahmcr:

Okay so It’s been a while since I last did a giveaway, so I’ve decided to do another one!

Okay so what you have to do is reblog this and say what your favorite MCR lyric is and why. (not song, but lyric), it can be a one line lyric, or a whole verse.

You do not have to be following me, but if you love MCR then maybe you should :D

Prizes:

There will be two winners and they will have their choice of either an MCR gun, a hoodie, or a shirt with a poster.

I will choose a winner by August 23rd.

You’ll never make me leave, I’ll wear this my sleeve, give me a reason to believe,

so give me all your poison, and give me all your pills,

and give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill,

you’re running after something that you’ll never kill, if this is what you want then,

fire at will.

The chorus in Thank You for the Venom means the most to me. It has always been my favorite song off of Revenge and listening to it on repeat has gotten me through many a tough day. To me the message is that no matter what the world throws at you, no matter how much shit you go through, keep fighting. Never stop fighting because nothing can kill you. So let people kick you when your down, so long as you get back up and keep going.

May 5, 2011

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 01:22:00 -0400

Literally the best day of my life. I had waited 3 years to see MCR and this was my chance. I knew when they came out with the new record they were going to go on tour and when I found out they were coming to the House of Blues in Boston, I freaked. This was my chance to see the men that have changed my life.

I knew I wanted my dad to go with me. He was the only one that could kind of grasp how much they’ve helped me. By the time I went to the House of Blues website, the tickets were sold out. I was devestated. I searched every ticket website and finally landed on stubhub.com. The cheapest tickets they had were $126 each. And in my head I heard somthing I once read about MCR; “for the kids that saved up all their allowence money, babysat, and mowed lawns, just to go see their show and sing every word.” And I did. I worked my ass off picking up extra hours at work anywhere I could, sometimes working almost 3 shifts a day. I even babysat my lanlords pain in the ass dog for a week. And i bought my tickets, and they came in the mail, and I waited for the day to come.

May 5th was the first time I had skipped school. My dad picked me up at 10 in the morning and we had drove to Riverside all the while listning to every MCR album on repeat. There was a Red Sox game that day so we decided it was best to take the Green Line into Boston. We got there at 1pm and fans were already lined up. We were pretty close to the door, there were maybe only 30 people in front of us. And we waited. For 5 and a half hours we waited in the hot sun and pouring rain, and even got pelted with opened waterbottles from angry Red Sox fans. By 7 pm I was exsausted, I was tired, my feet and back hurt and I’m pretty sure my dad felt the same way. But the energy that had been slowly dwindling for the last half hour came rushing back when the doors opened.

Our tickets were on the first level mezzanine and when we walked in, there was no one there. I ran to a spot closest to the stage in the front and I didnt move. I met some amazing people and I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin. Being there, surronded by people that had the same love for this band, made me happier than I had ever felt before. We all understood eachother. Like my dad said “watching you talk to these kids, it’s like you’ve known them for years.” In reality, none of us knew each other, but in a way, we did. We are an army, and no one can take that away from us.

The energy in the room during The Architects and Thursday’s sets was amazing. But it was nothing compared to the waiting after they were done. Everytime a set peice was brought out, the energy got pushed. First, Ray’s amps, then Frank’s and Mikey’s, the Good Luck helmet, The Fun Gouhl mask, Mike’s base drum. And finaly what caught my eye, and the girl next to me, if you looked very closely, you could make out a picture of Bandit taped to the edge of the drum platform. Seeing that made my adoration grow even more. And then everything went dark. Ray came out, followed by Gerard, Mikey, and Frank. And I lost myself, It was without a doubt the best concert I have ever been to. Even though it was my first one, I seriously don’t think anything can top that.

When it was over, I haden’t had anything to eat or drink for 14 hours and had been on me feet for over 10. But I felt amazing. It was the happiest I’ve felt in my entire life. And my dad agreees, it was the best concert he’d ever seen. All the times in highschool when I felt alone, all the times I felt haunted by my past I have not dwelled on since that day, thanks to them.

MCR saved my life

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:45:00 -0400

I say that with total pride. And yes, I get laughed at, ridiculed, called a “stupid fan girl” and many other things. But none of that matters, the only people who understand are the people who know.

The people who know how it feels to be alone and completely helpless. The people who know what its like to feel like an outcast and misfit. The truth is, My Chemical Romance gives people like me the strength to get out of bed everyday. The strength to face the world, no matter how many people are against you. When I first started listning to them I was in a pretty bad place in my life. My mom was going through a second divorce, it was getting hard to put food on the table, pile on highschool teen angst and it’s a recipie for disater.

I remember clearly the first time I heard one of their songs. I remember because it was the first time I had been intriugeed by lyrics and lyrics alone.

An older student was walking off the bus reciting lines from I’m Not Okay. I remembered those lines for the rest of the bus ride and when I got home I looked them up on youtube. And I fell in love. I felt like the music was speaking to me. And in a weird way, when I listened to it, I didn’t feel alone anymore, somehow just listining to their songs made everything okay. Within the next moth I had all three CDs, Life on the Murder Scene and the Black Parade is Dead. My summer was spent memorizing every lyric and every quote.

MCR has saved me twice. First in highschool when I felt no one cared, and I would never amount to anything, and a second time when they pulled me out of a terrible relationship. It seems that whenever I lose myself, they’re there to remind me of who I am, and not to be afraid of who I am.

I actually got my dad to start listining to them, and on May 5, 2011 he took me to my first MCR concert. I think one of the happiest moments in my life was a couple days after the concert and my dad said to me, “You know kiddo, I’ve had a rough couple of days, and sometimes the only reason I can get my ass outta bed is listing to MCR.” I just said, “Yah, they have a way of doing that.” Inside I was soaring with happiness because, in a way, i felt like I helped the people that touched my life, touch one more person.
