Haha. I did that the other day, 'cept I was watching an interview w/ Gerard, and I knew every word he said.
Then I kinda realised I'm not over them yet, I just don't have the same fan-girly energy I used to have.

And I keep forgetting Bob's left. It's weird. :[

Mikey Blogged:

Greetings Friends!

It's been an awfully long time since last we spoke, and I apologize. To make it up to you, I have many exciting things to share. You have all been so patient, and for that we are eternally grateful.

First things first, here are some new studio shots from our own ace photographer (and soon to be dad!), Frank Iero. We have reached a very exciting final phase of recording and are counting down the seconds to when we can finally share it with you. The album has a name and a voice, although I can't let that rabbit out of the hat just yet. I wish it were humanly possible for us to sit down with all of you and crank up those speakers on launch day.

The newest songs that we have written changed my perception of what a My Chemical Romance song can do. It pushes every envelope and blurs every single line more than anything we have ever done. I am also excited to finally announce that in the very near future, there will be an official home for the MCRMY on the web. We have all gotten a chance to field test the website, and not only is it major fun, but it's also kind of addictive.

In the next few weeks we are also going to start running a series of contests that will be a ton of fun for all of us. I know I have a one or two shirts with my name on them that could use a new home to give up for prizing.

Last but not least, In the newest issue of SPIN magazine, there's an amazing article/cover featuring our fearless leader (and my big
brother) Gerard Way. Iggy has been one of our heroes and inspirations throughout our career and the article is a joy to read.

There are gonna be a great many changes coming to mychemicalromance.com over the next few weeks/months. One day you will wake up, and nothing will ever be the same again, but it'll feel like an old friend. We love you guys more than you'll ever know. Let's talk again soon.

I saw that earlier.

I'm kind of losing desire for the CD with all the Bob-o-san drama. It's like I want it, but I want it like it should be. Not this way.

i know what ya mean but at the same time they are my all time favourite band.. have been for nearly 6 years and always will be so while i miss bob like crazy im dying to get my hands on this album. even though i dont listen to them everyday or not as obsessed like i used to be, the whole drama with soundwave showed me that that can change in a second. i can guarantee that as soon as it comes out and they start touring again im gonna go back to being just as obsessed. im just thankful they didnt completely break up coz that could have easily happened and to be honest im guessing their days as an active band are numbered so im gonna make the most of it while i can. / end of rant.

AGREED.

Yeah, I guess I agree with that. A lot of my favorite bands are changing or breaking up these days.

yeh but look at it this way.. both mcr and a7x could have easily broken up this year but neither of them have!! so time to make the most of it!!

True. That is a good way to look at it. What we're getting is better than nothing at all.

exactly... as for the taking back sunday shit.. well i have a slightly different opinion on that

Wow, I just googled and saw that! That is so shitty. First Fred, now Matt and Fazzi? I'm a bit pissed.

With love from Ray-Bay-Bay.
Hey everybody, long time no post! Hope you guys are doing well. Been crazy busy in the studio the past month, working long hours and writing great music. Taking a few days off this holiday weekend, so thought I'd take the chance to give a quick update on some happenings in MCR world. First, a heartfelt thanks for voting for us in the MTV March Madness thing they have going on. Even after being away for a bit, it feels really good to know you are all still with us, ready to strike when called to arms! I'm not sure what it all means, but its always fun to win stuff, so keep voting! I once won $25 on a scratch off lotto ticket, and I can guarantee winning the MTV thing will feel at least 3 times as good as that... Got a new shot of Frank's up as well. Somehow, while shredding the guitar, tending to his family in Jersey, and looking dashing, Frank finds time to take great photos of us while we're tracking. This shot features Doug, our engineer extraordinaire. I would say he's a great dude, but he's been shredding me in Words With Friends! So while he may be good as his job, he is an utter bastard... Speaking of Frank's photos, the first 2 lithos in what will hopefully be an ongoing series go up for sale next week. Be ready and waiting to click the link as soon as its put up, I have a feeling they're going to sell out quick... Tomorrow, we're going to start a run of contests here. It begins with the first annual MCR Easter Egg Hunt. One of my favorite things to do each year is to paint eggs with my wife. Last year we painted up some Transformer themed eggs, so I'll be sure to put up a pic of what we do. So in that spirit, there will be four eggs hidden throughout the site. Find them, click them, enter your username and you'll get the credit and I think win a poster. Watson will have more detailed instructions up soon... Lastly, I will take a quick second to announce my unending obsession with the upcoming iPad. We all know I love gadgets. I probably love gadgets more than air. It will be awaiting on my doorstep Saturday, so after I put it through its paces, I'll put up my thoughts. Thanks for the time, talk to you all soon! Ray

fred left on his own accord... matt & matt got kicked out

Rachel: Yeah, I saw that. I won't find any of the eggs.

Jojo: Yeah, I know. I just meant that they're gone. This sucks so hard!

HAPPY GERARD'S BIRTHDAY!!!

That is all.

Will any of you be entering Mikey's newest comp?

Oh yeah. I'm working on coming up with a song. Anyone got any ideas?

Is that the cover comp?
You know if only we had done that cover back in the day... would have been awesome

yeah, it is.

it would have been.

Have any of you been buying those photos of Frank's?
Two years ago and I would have been first in there buying them, buuut I need money for silly things, like food and rent, now.

No, I haven't bought any of them. I've been saving every dime I've made from mowing the lawn in order to buy an Ipod. Of course, that was before I loaned (aka, gave forever) my sister $100.
