Hey guys! Since MCR hasn't been very active lately (no offense) and most of us probably have ADHD, I have a band that some of you could listen to for a while!

Their name is Arms Like Yours. UNFORTUNATELY, they broke up a while ago.

Then why the fuck would I make a post about them?

Well...

1. Their lyrics and music are absolutely amazing (start with their EP ".Architect." if you plan on trying them out)
2. They just started up a new band! Pretty much the same guys with a different name!
3. Their new band name is Dayseeker. When Dayseeker gets over 2000 likes on Facebook, they will release one of their new songs.... O.O

So let's just kind of review the steps you have to go through...

1. Download or youtube Arms Like Yours
2. Listen to their 5 songs off of their EP ".Architect." to start out with
3. Research other songs if interested
4. Be REALLY sad that ALY broke up
5. Be REALLY happy that they started a new band called Dayseeker
6. Find Dayseeker on FB

mfw there is penis enhancement spam on MCR blogging page haha

Little do they know, this page is mainly teenage females.

Dear My Chemical Romance**

One of my high school friends just recently contacted me (literally, 10 minutes ago). The first concert I ever went to was with this friend. And guess who we saw live? YOU GUYS (Oct 12, 2005, N. Myrtle Beach HOB, Reggie and the Full Effect, Alkaline Trio, and My Chemical Romance, fuck yes). This is what she just recently posted on my facebook page:

"So Lady. Listen, get this. I miss you and I so totally think when MCR decides to get on tour again, you and I should go to at least one concert, like the old days. Just saying. That's my idea. :p"

^^^Wow! Can you read that awesomeness? After years of not really talking, when we finally do talk, it's about you guys!

This isn't just some random no big deal "haha" kind of fail. This is a legit fail.

I have failed a class.

Well, technically, I got a "D", but hey kids, in college, both "D"s and "F"s are considered failing.

WHY THE FUCK DO THEY EVEN HAVE THE "D" THEN?!?!!!??? They already skip "E"!! Why not just take "D" out as well?!?!

The only other class I've failed in my life time was Spanish 2 Honors. And that's because my teacher was a cheerleading nazi coach and pretty much hated every not physically fit kid in the school.

But this is definitely the only class I've failed in college. And it's my fourth year. I guess I had a pretty good run of not failing. And I suppose 1 out of 83 classes total isn't SO horrible.

That doesn't mean I'm at peace with this though.

For the past few months, since school has started, I have denied myself all rights to feeling real feelings!

I have been so involved with school, Music Therapy club, clinicals, and keeping my house in order and bills paid that every single time I had any sort of feeling, I told it to "Fuck off" and I kept going.

Let me explain why that is a HORRIBLE idea.

This week, it all came crashing down on me. Every feeling I didn't allow myself to feel weighted me down like an anchor. I failed so hard. I got no work done, I was high on ativan the whole week and I wanted nothing to do with the human race.

I've often contemplated actually using my favorite band in one of my clinical music therapy sessions.

Most of my clinicals (being kid's setting, geriatric's setting and hospice setting) have never quite been the proper setting for MCR music seeing as their music seems to be...well, metaphoric.

This semester I am at a psychiatric facility with adolescent girls with behavioral and mood disorders, some of which happen to know who MCR are.

Some of MCR's less metaphoric songs?

"Helena"
"I'm Not Okay"
"Ghost of You"
"I Don't Love You"
"Teenagers" (however, I don't think it would be very professional of me, or very safe of me, to bring in a song that says "Teenagers scare the living shit out of me" to a bunch of adolescent girls with behavioral issues)

What do you guys think?

I want opinions =)

Okay, maybe I'm just retarded or something, but I didn't even know this song existed until like 2 minutes ago.

Usually I'm pretty good about finding all of the bonus tracks, but I guess I just wasn't paying attention.

"Zero Percent" is fucking amazing. It is a wonderful mix of "Danger Days" and "Revenge".

I'm still blown away that I just found this song.

Did it seriously come out when the CD came out in Japan? I'm so appalled that I didn't know it existed.

I love it.

When I went on a Euro tour with my high schools art club in Summer of '07, I found this shop in Italy!

We were in Florence, Italy for only 2 hours and we got the chance to just kind of wander around. So, after my friend and I had circled the block, about 5 mins left before we had to go meet with our group, I found this shop! After about 3 minutes of being very excited, my friend was like "Are you gonna take a picture or what?! We gotta get back!" So I took a picture, very quickly, and we ran back to our tour group.

I really wanted to go inside because the clothes looked really neat and "high fashionedableeryeah" ^.^

Maybe one day, I'll go back to Florence, Italy and shop there =)

Gerard is awesome and all. Believe me, him not being a drunken asshole with his pants falling down during shows for 7 years is great. But technically, in an interview a few months ago, he stated that he was drinking. Not in an unhealthy, crazy, alcoholic way, but in a casual totally controlled way.

Here's the clip from the SPIN article on Nov 16th, 2010

"In 2004, just as the band was getting huge, Way had a bad night of boozing and pill-popping in Japan and decided to quit drugs and alcohol cold turkey. Recently, though, he's been enjoying the occasional drink. It's not about the high, so much as loosening his own self-imposed restraints. "[Sobriety] became such a thing," he says. "It was so goddamn important to everyone but me. You start to feel like the two guys in the Smiths who wanted to eat cheeseburgers but had to pretend not to. I understand that kids look up to me, that some people might have gotten sober because of me. But it's not an important thing for me anymore."

Since Ronnie Radke, former lead singer of Escape the Fate, has gotten released from jail (and even while he was still serving his time) he has been involved in his new band, Falling In Reverse.

As all of you know, when Ronnie got sent to jail, Escape the Fate got a new singer, Craig Mabbitt.

Falling in Reverse's new CD came out today.

Let me just say, there are SO MANY hits at Escape the Fate

For example in one of FIR's new songs the lyrics are "I dug a whole 10 miles wide and threw you all inside" (ETF has a song called "10 miles wide").

That's just one of many hits!

So which are you?

Team Escape the Fate

or

Team Ronnie

??

Personally, I'm team Ronnie. Newer ETF has gotten closer and closer to the pop genre. FIR's music sounds incredibly like old ETF, which was amazing.

Let me know!!
