MCR and Related News

Me too!

The inner fangirl that lives in a box inside of me might explode out in a second.
I've been thinking, the latest My Chem character, PartyPoison, seems to be a twitter n00b. And also, they tweeted NewsAGoGo- Thanks for the add. As in, thanks for letting me into the band? Potential new drummer?
Yeah, wild theory, but wild theory that I like.

I have no idea who any of those people are. What?

Possible fictional MCR characters.
Apparently Ray and Frank followed @NewsAGoGo @DrDeathDefying @AgentCherriCola on Twitter for a while. To the best of my knowledge, Gerard still follows @DrDeathDefying. @TommyChowMein and @PartyPoison have since been added, and people are figuring they're the band members' new alter egos or something.
They keep tweeting potential hints about the new album. Lots of Trans Am references, dessert references, nuclear warfare references. Apparently they're from 2019.
(Does that make sense?)

EDIT: Gerard follows @NewsAGoGo and @DrDeathDefying
LynZ and Alicia follow @DrDeathDefying.

Sounds like fictional characters especially coming from 2019... just a thought

Ohhhh future album.
Like album from the future.

My mind is blown.

Elaborate shit like this always turns me on.

im slightly concerned

I'm slightly aroused.

"Forget everything you think you already know about MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE.

Fact 1: My Chemical Romance's forthcoming fourth studio album is entitled 'Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys'.

Fact 2: 'Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys' will be released worldwide on November 22nd.

Fact 3: According to Rolling Stone magazine, the new album consists of songs that are "mostly synth-happy, technicolour pop tunes, complete with an unabashed dance beat…"

Rolling Stone reports from an interview with frontman Gerard Way that the band scrapped their originally written songs - "a dark, Stooges-influenced LP" - in favour of the new songs which RS explains are united by the concept of being "a transmission from a post-apocalyptic radio station in 2019".

Way explains that: "It's a party record. The scariest thing was to admit to ourselves that we wanted to have a good time".

The brief article concludes that Way particularly likes the album's opening track 'Na Na Na', which he says sounds like: "It's the punk-rock 'Hey Ya'. It sounds like a big gang of children yelling. It's dumb as fuck, really."

You can read the full blurb in the Fall Music Preview feature in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

It's interesting to note that at Comic-Con 2009, Gerard Way originally announced his next comic-book series, named 'The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys'. Co-written with Shaun Simon and illustrated by Becky Cloonan, the new series was expected to be released in 2010. Way said that the series was set in ‘90s America, and that: "It's simply about a guy who wants his Ramones records back. But during the character’s journey, and because the comic is a mature reader title, there will be “much more mature and controversial themes, such as hate crimes and homophobia, the homogenization of American culture and American life."

If the time-settings still remain the same, perhaps the new album is the world of the "Fabulous Killjoys" in the future, post-comic-book series?!"

EEEEEEEEEEK.
I came to post that article. XD
I'm excited. But then I saw this article: http://mcrbrasil.com/eng/news/rolling-stone-fall-music-preview/ and now I can't decide whether to be scared or not.
Pop just sounds so ... different.
But I'm glad they didn't do the young American rock band thing.

worried... very very worried

Also worried.

im in love!!!

squeeeeeee
just went on the website, nearly died from excessive arm flailing.

I can't tell if I like it or not.

I thought I'd be worried, but I just watched it three times.
Badass barely begins to describe the awesomeness.
How do they do it?

Fucking. Excited.

(The album comes out on the day of my chemistry exam. The irony kills me.)

I'm excited, but still a little worried. I mean, I think I'll love anything they do, but "mostly synth-happy, technicolour pop tunes, complete with an unabashed dance beat…" sounds kind of scary.

I've listened to it a few times. It really grew on me.
The 'Na Na Na's have been quoted by Gerard as "dumb as fuck." So yeah, they're just for lolz. And the rest of the lyrics are very MyChem-ish if you think about it.

I'm hoping it'll grow on me a little more. Like, I'm excited for it, but still kinda wary.
I just want to listen to the whole album.

Yah.
And I want to know more about the characters, storyline and stuff.

Yes, definitely!
The song grew on me so much last night. I woke up this morning, and watched the trailer for an hour. I think that could be counted as being a little sad, but it was fun.
I want to go buy me some Killjoy clothes right now. Where do we buy rayguns?

Nifty Things I noticed and wanted to share.

1) I think the character GWay plays is PartyPosion. http://twitter.com/PartyPoison
Just a guess from the logo on the back of his jacket being the same as the background image.

2) The Trans AM says 'Look Alive, Sunshine on the back.

3) The back of 'Dr. Death Defying's' Jacket says 'Slaughtermatic Sounds'

4) Gerard is the one in the weird blue cat/mouse thing head. You can tell from the jacket and yellow raygun.

5) As they leave their hideout there are Wanted posters of them on the walls. And the vending machine says "Better Living. The Aftermath is Secondary." Two of the vending machines buttons say H2O. [/pointless]

6) The newspaper Frank is reading also says "WANTED: The Killjoys." And below says "What's his next 'Korse' of action?" So I think the bald guys name must be 'Korse' or something similar because it has his picture next to it.

7) Gerard has two totally different hair styles in it. As they leave the hideout it looks black and short under the top layer of red. But when they are having their showdown it all looks one length and he has no re-growth so I'm thinking it was filmed over a long-ish period of time?

Pause it at 39 seconds. There are baby photos on the wall. Obviously can't tell who there of, but thought it was interesting.

9) Frank's latest blog has a picture of what I assume is the American Flag artwork on the Trans AM in the video.

The end.

its definitely grown on me. i cant wait for 22nd november!!
and mikey is blonde!!
i love the video though, its really great.

... Time for a new theme.. I think so.
