My submission for the guitar. :)
Oh gosh. There's so many. Choosing just one is difficult. But if there's got to be an absolute favourite memory I'd probably have to say the beginning. Just the whole beginning in general. Around the time the Art is The Weapon video came out, anywhere you went, any website you went on, if there was just one MCR fan, all you saw was what they thought was happening. Everywhere. They were all completely covered in My Chemical Romance. The anticipation is really what made all of it so great, there'd be hundreds of people having the same conversation, if not with each other, about what they saw or what they heard, what they thought was coming. Before the video was released we had some sort of hunch there were big things about to happen, that something huge was just around the corner. There were 'clues' I guess you could call them, everywhere. Tons of different symbols, meanings, mystery accounts, and signs all over the place leading up to it. It was all anyone could talk about for weeks. Then the video was released and everything we'd felt up to that point was blown out of the water. Our minds exploding when we saw the things we knew had something to do with this triumphant return. Then any social networking site up and running was completely overhauled by those now called 'Killjoys' 'Crash Queens' and 'Motor Babies'. The voice of Dr. Death Defying was soon burned into our skulls. Imagine thousands of kids in love with a band sitting at home watching a minute and a half video they'd already seen a million times, again and again, like they were hoping something was going to pop out at them, that the video was somehow going to change and lead them straight to whatever was coming next. Social networks were 'shut down' for a few seconds sometimes due to the pure influx of fans typing until their fingers fell off about this one, extremely special,
minute-and-a-half video. And when everyone had finally heard Na Na Na, all you saw for days were the lyrics plastered over every object in sight. All in all, the beginning of Danger Days was like some infectious, post-apocalyptic disease that was taking over everything in it's path, completely destroying anything that tried to stop it.It brought people around the world that were complete strangers together, gave us something to look foreward to, and, most of all, gave us something beautiful. And that's all I could ever ask for.
I thank this band each and every day for existing, and that will never stop.
