G. Way talks new album

Gerard Way, singer for My Chemical Romance (in case you had forgotten) recently spoke with RockSound about their new album.

"A friend who heard the record recently said he now had no interest in listening to our older work anymore, that we had made all our old material redundant. I took it as a compliment, the next thing you do should always make the last thing seem unimportant and I think that will happen when we finally release this album."

I can't wait to hear this new album.  Everytime the release something I am completely impressed and excited about what a grib their song writing and lyrics have on me.  Definitely anticipating this release.

Also, they're on the January cover of Alternative Press.  They all look like grownups now!  Except for Bob, he still has little kid face.

In Case You Missed It - Mikey Way in Blender

In case you missed it, Mikey Way did a short interview with Blender in this months issue. I have copied it for your reading pleasure.


Where are you, and what can you see?

I'm trapped on a tour bus in Germany. I can see my brother Gerard, and we're watching shitty sci-fi movies.

Why should we leave our air-conditioned McMansion to come see you play the Projekt Revolution Tour this summer?

People should come out if they want their faces melted off.

What's the best beach in New Jersey?

It would have to be Wildwood. It's one of the few beaches in Jersey where you won't step on a hypodermic needle.

Ever gotten lucky on a beach?

I found a $20 bill once.

Would you ever rock a Speedo?

If someone put a shotgun to my head.

Ever have a regrettable summer hookup?

Regret is a sign of weakness. Oh, and girls have cooties.

What's your favorite ice-cream truck song?

The Godfather theme. Yes, in Jersey, many an ice-cream truck played the Godfather theme.

How do you keep your makeup from running onstage when you get sweaty?

I don't. At the show we played tonight, eyeliner and sweat streamed into my eye and I was partially blinded.

Ever do socks with sandals?

You wouldn't catch my cold dead body with sandals on.

Is there a body part you hide during the summer?

All of them.

Beyonce is getting sued by my girl Des'ree (the artist who I mentioned months ago that no one knew who she was.) Apparently Beyonce likes to steal peoples songs and release them as singles without paying rights. Shame on her.

Live vicariously through our very own Sunshine

Chaos is the state I exist in, so it is to be expected that this day would be no different. I'm currently juggling a consulting project which weekly brings me 4hours north, my position as Pastry Chef at a Brooklyn restaurant, street team for Road Runner Records and My Chemical Romance, developing a product line for CAKES4ROCKSTARS' new candy line and training my new partner in cake and candy making. That's all the explanation I will offer up for my tardiness in attending the show on Friday. Let me just say that tears of frustration were definitely shed. I finally got to Nassau Coliseum, schlepping gifts of candy prototypes for the boys, to find they were full-swing into a 'Revenge' set, looking very much like they did in the days of 'Bullets'. Everyone's hair was grown out and dark. Gerard was wearing a black leather jacket similar to days of old. The romance of the past was delightful and made it feel like a smaller venue than it was. In fact, they devoured the expansive space of the coliseum with their intense energy. I joined in as the crowd passionately sang every word to every song at the top our lungs! Incredible! Their generosity with the crowd really makes you feel like every person there is an important part of the show. As if we were at a basement show with 15 people in attendance. It's beautiful. After the show, I met up with Dani (MCRmy NY) and Amanda (MCRmy) to wait for Vienna to graciously provide us with meet and greet passes. Dani told me about the parts of the show that I missed. The show opened with Gerard being brought out on a stretcher as 'the patient' and followed with them playing the entire 'The Black Parade' album in order in band uniform!!! Fuck!

The meet and greet was a fairly awkward affair with them sitting behind a signing table. Mikey was first so I just gave him the whole bag of candy I had for them (which included coffee-flavored, caffeine-enhanced candy rosaries with hand-made marzipan and bubble gum beads that were packaged inside black jewelry boxes and coffee-flavored "bling-style" star necklaces on black and silver stretch cord with a few of my business cards for good measure.) I just introduced myself and told him that I didn't have anything I wanted signed but I did have presents for them. I told him what it was and he seemed pretty stoked and asked me if I had included business cards! So nice. Then, Frankie was next and I got to thank him for setting up the Skeleton Crew boards and tell him that I had met some amazing people on there. He was pretty excited about that. Next I introduced myself to Bob and Ray and just told them that the show was wonderful and the band rocks. When I was moving on to Gerard, Ray said, "do you have anything you want me to sign?" and I responded, "no, I just wanted to tell you guys how great the show was.". I think he was entertained and perplexed. When I got to Gerard he was all, hood up, gloves on, turned in on himself like a little bunny. I introduced myself and did the whole, 'you guys were awesome' thing and then just reiterated to him and Ray that I have a cake and candy company and I had given Mikey a bag of candy for them. Absolute sweethearts! A band that's great at making music, great at performing music and great at being human beings. Their parents did a really good job! On the way out we saw Brian Schecter and he asked us how we liked the show and told us that they will be expanding it as they tour and that by Bamboozle will be even better, grander and include some fire. You know how I like setting things on fire!

Anyone up for some MCR news?

Apparently people thought there was a movie in the works for The Black Parade. Well, there's not so you can put the rumors to rest.

Mikey Way pirated Disney movies to support his Smashing Pumpkins addiction.

We all know Gerard was a drugged out lush, but Brian Eno's album Music for Airports helped lead his way to sobriety.

The Umbrella Academy - G. Way news

Gerard Way, who I have come to realize is called "Gee" by his obviously more devoted than myself following, is releasing a comic book entitled, "The Umbrella Academy."

Dark Horse describes The Umbrella Academy as the story of Sir Reginald Hargreeves — a "world-renowned scientist and inventor, intrepid adventurer, successful entrepreneur, champion cricketer and closet space alien...and his family of superpowered, super-abnormal superheroes."

The comic is being released through Dark Horse Comics

--------------------------------------------------------

Can I have a moment here? I want everyone to take special notice of the stupid things written in this article that I assume are supposed to be funny:

- "Perhaps we should just hold a tournament to determine the geekiest rock band in the world."

Shame-free says - I think a better tournament would be to see who is the crappiest music television station. Wait, that wouldn't even last long enough to bother.

-"My Chemical Romance frontman, artist and longtime comic aficionado Gerard Way took steps to reclaim his uncool crown, announcing plans to pen his very own comic book series."

Shame-free says - Hasn't it been like a million years since people sterotyped comic book people are uber-nerds? Get with the times MTV...bunch of losers...

-"Mikey's superpower would probably be Lasik-related"

Shame-free says - I know he got the surgery but what does this even mean? It's just stupid.
