Holy shit holy shit Long Live The Black Parade tour announced I’m having a stroke rn omg omg this is crazy I’m so happy I want to go I need to go. Anyway. I’m literally dying rn because Long Live The Black Parade tour was announced. I need to go. I’ve never been to a concert before. Ever. And I promised myself that MCR would be my first concert. I unfortunately do not have any friends to go with, however. I could go by myself but that sounds kinda dangerous and terrifying. I need to go tho. I just need someone to go with 😭. None of my friends are into My Chem tho cuz they’re all a bunch of pRePZ >:( Anyways holy shit you guys.
soooo basically i was trying to name as many Taylor Swift songs for my basic not-really-white girl friend. So she tried to name My Chem songs for me
the pretty handwriting is hers and the shitty handwriting is mine.
average mcr interview is like
interviewer: so what’s your guys favorite place to eat out at?
ray: i really like red robin’s. love their robin burgers!
frank: under this fascist government there’s no where safe to eat. (cup o noodle)
gerard: 🚬 🚬 🚬 uhhhm… hmmm.. well that’s a tough one.. hmmm . 🚬 yknow i think that like. well really the best place for US to eat out yknow as a band of fucked up normal guys who do gay shit is like an olive garden… 🚬 they’re really free over there… you can get breadsticks and nobody asks who you are or where you’re going… they never ask what your pro-
mikey: i fucking love eating dude like straight up i’ll eat anywhere
So uhhhh I got bored and randomly told my dad I wanted to play electric guitar. Being the cool dude he is, he borrowed one from his coworker.
Day 1: 30 minutes in, I snapped a string.
Day 2: Spent 30 minutes figuring out how to fix string, snapped the string I was replacing the broken one with while I was restringing it, had to use the string that's meant for the string below it. Not sure how to play riffs, and now I'm trying to play that opening guitar part in Disenchanted, except the lower 3 notes of that part are an octave lower. I still have no idea what I'm doing, and the amp I'm using doesn't have a gain knob, so it doesn't have that heavy sound that rock has. Very sad. But I will try to sort this out.
Day 2 UPDATE: Trying to play beginning of Demolition Lovers. I'm not doing it right but it still sounds the exact same so uhhh it's chill ig
Day 2 UPDATE AGAIN: WTF So I snapped a string again and then when I tried to restring it, the string snapped. Tried again, snapped again. What I'm currently learning is that either I suck at restringing or that Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings are hella undurable
Will update you guys when I make advances. Or backtrack. Idk.
prev is a rat with butterfly wings who does NOT deserve the world.
@roughbuddy @princess-kurosaki @cawforthecrows + anyone on this hellsite
Just fucking lie about the previous poster
Yo I'm super bored so I decided to make a Tumblr account isn't that great? Bitch nah it's 2024 people don't even know what Tumblr is anymore. Idk what to do or how to describe myself. Call me SaturnRolls ig, I'm a weirdo (hmmm perhaps you could tell because I'm on Tumblr), and I like stuff. Alr the end :)
reblog to give warm bread to your mutuals
y'all ever just forget you technically haven't come out to someone yet
like you're about to say some super gay shit
and then you remember, "oh wait this one doesn't know"
for me it's usually because I know that friend would not give two fucks if I came out but I haven't come out to for no good reason
MCR has been my favourite band for 20 years now. Maybe I’m weird, but I love their music to the point where I have trouble just putting on one of their songs casually or placing one of their songs on a playlist with multiple artists. I like to listen to their albums in full, or at least have a rotation going specifically of just their vast and varied music. I adore just about all music, and they’re the only artist I do this with.
When I first fell in love with MCR—and I fell for them hard—they were a group of five: Gerard, Frank, Ray, Mikey, and Bob. 14-year-old me was absolutely crazy about all of them. I thought they were the coolest people in music, and any small piece of legit information about any of them got me so excited.
Before social media was standard, everything I learned about them I learned from interviews and performance footage. I’ve always remembered Bob as that silly and immensely talented blond guy in the group who was the only one not from New Jersey (Chicago). They did so many group interviews together, and behind-the-scenes music video specials for Fuse, and Bob was always smiling and laughing with the rest of them. They were clearly a family of many talents, and Bob got to finally showcase what he was capable of on The Black Parade.
There is no understating how memorable and standout the drums are on The Black Parade. I don’t know the technical terminology and I’m definitely not a music student, but the drums on that album hit me in the heart, especially on Welcome to the Black Parade. Bob clearly knew what he was doing, loved what he was doing, and as far as the rest of us know, the only reason he wasn’t with My Chemical Romance to the end was because of issues with his wrists.
I loved Bob’s work so much, I went to the trouble of learning which songs on Danger Days had kept his contributions; not surprisingly, they were all my favourites on the album (Na Na Na, Bulletproof Heart, The Only Hope for Me is You, Party Poison, and Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back (my number one fav from DD)). I didn’t hear Conventional Weapons until after they’d broken up completely, but again every song was a banger and again Bob’s work was excellent.
I saw them live twice when Bob was in the band, but the only time I saw all five of them together on stage was in December 2005 (during their TBP tour, at least one of the band members was taking a break for health reasons when I saw them, but I don’t remember who). I’ll never forget how excited I was that first time I saw them, and I’ll never forget how much love I had for all five of them.
I’m not going to speculate about what happened. This is meant to be a respectful message about how much Bob meant to me as a fan during the height of MCR’s career. I’m writing all this knowing as much as the rest of the fan base about his passing, which isn’t much. I read that disgusting announcement by TMZ, same as all of you, and it made me so angry.
Within the first hour of the announcement of his passing, there were already (presumably AI-generated) compilation videos of Bob on YouTube. This is the only reason I’m not bothering to put a video together myself, I can’t compete with robots, so instead I’m here to say that Bob Bryar was and always will be one of the best drummers of the 2000s era of music, and whether you want him to be or not, he is iconic.
I was so sad when I heard he wasn’t in the band anymore, and I’m sad now. He deserved so much better, at the very least he deserved love and support, as we all do.
Rest In Peace Bob.
