jules Bleeding on the Floor ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1420 | Does anyone have the leathermouth review from rolling stone? We canceled our subscription after years of no cover stories on bands like MCR, but several on the Jonas Bros. |
Queen Obscene Always Born a Crime ![]() Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 5938 | Where I live I can't buy magazines as Rolling Stone and NME, so (as some of you use to) would like to post a scan of it, I'd... love you! ![]() |
Incognito. Bleeding on the Floor ![]() Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 1209 | jules: Leathermouth XO Epitah/Shock *** Vicious debut from MCR guitarist's sideline Leathermouth is the side project of MCR guitarists Frank Iero, but pity the poor MCR fan who approaches this album expacting another batch of that band's emo-lite. "Leathermouth is how I vent about all the shit I see going on in the world that makes me ill", says Iero in the press release for the album. So its apt that the opener, "Fifth Period Massacre" sounds like a man vomiting razor blades over an antisocial buzzsaw dirge. It's as abrasive as it is confronting, and sets the tone for the nine songs that follow, each an excersise in raw, stripped down riffing and belched vocals that call to mind a messy amalgam of sminal hardcore extremists Kiss It Goodbye jamming with Black Flag. Sadly XO isn't quite equal to the sum of those parts, although fiery "Murder Was The Case They Gave Me" suggest such lofty heights may not be out of reach for the unaccompanied Iero. Key tracks: Murder was the case they gave me Sunsets are for muggings ![]() |

jules Bleeding on the Floor ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1420 | Thank you Incog-- and now for a strongly worded email to a magazine that centers its focus on irrelevant, soft pop garbage. |
MiDesfileNegro Thinking Happy Thoughts ![]() Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 476 | Two small MCR mentions in today's Kerrang, and I'll try and get a scan of the Safe And Sound article up soon. |

Letter that was written in to Kerrang!: The second is a comment from Adam Lazzara (of Taking Back Sunday). Adam Lazzara, Taking Back Sunday: |

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has taken time out of recording the follow-up to 2006's TBP to appear in the video of J-Rock legend Kyosuke Himuro's new single, safe And sound.

There is more, but its not very intresting. Today kerrang! This is a letter with a drawn picture of Gee. Its a pretty good picture, but i can't scan, so...

My Favorite New Album Frank Iero, Leathermouth/My Chemical Romance The Bronx The Bronx III "I've been a fan of The Bronx for a whi and their new album made me go back and listen to their other albums again. there's not a bad track on it and I appreciate the transition betwwen their other albums better now, too. I'd love to tour with them. |
MiDesfileNegro Thinking Happy Thoughts ![]() Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 476 | I can't get today's Kerrang until Saturday but knowing that's in it has made me excited for it ![]() I couldn't get a scan, exactly, of the Safe And Sound article but I did get a photo... http://s669.photobucket.com/albums/vv58/MiDesfileNegro/?action=view¤t=DSC00300.jpg |

The artist drew the cover of Three Cheers in the background of one of the panels.... xD sorry... found that oddly hilarious/awesome. |

jules Bleeding on the Floor ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1420 | My AP comes monthly. Interesting book: Craig Schuftan’s second book “Hey! Nietzsche! Leave those kids alone! By Steven H. Bagley reviews: I fell in love with music and with poetry all over again. I craved some mashups that I’d never, ever see. To wit: taking the best of Keats and Billy Corgan, how about “Ode to Mellon Collie”? From Shelley and Gerard Way, “The Masque of Anarchy leads the Black Parade”? >>>> The book starts out with a confession: Schuftan likes My Chemical Romance. And I have to confess, similarly, that so do I, after reading “Hey! Nietzsche!” If only because reading the book gave me a much bigger appreciation for where the band’s music is coming from, historically and artistically. It’s easy to point at Gerard Way’s Black Parade makeup and derisively laugh, “emo kid,” but when Way calls emo “a pile of shit,” he starts to sound a bit more like Byron when he went to go fight in Greece. Mechanically, Schuftan illustrates his point by juxtaposition and historical inference. It’s quite brilliant, really, in the sense that when you take a good long look at Bryon’s pallor, his disinterest in people, and his massive poetic talent, he really does look like Rivers Cuomo. Similarly, when you think about Gerard Way voicing a desire to save the world with rock and roll, it sounds a lot like Milton’s Satan. And really? If it sounds like this praise is too high, or to elevate Weezer and MCR up to the heights of a pair of the greatest poets to ever commit pen to paper, the point is lost on you, dear reader. Byron, Schuftan’s Adam from which all this pale, black-wearing music descended, was a rock star. People read his poetry and the loved him Beatles-style. Calling cards arrived in buckets, and Bryon, like a rock star, took in the sex, booze and drugs en masse, with the perfect nonchalance. Blast Magazine |

MiDesfileNegro Thinking Happy Thoughts ![]() Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 476 | I've just finished studying Shelley for English Lit, but comparing TBP with The Mask of Anarchy? :/ Anyway, there's a mention of MCR in this week's Kerrang - when I get time I'll put it up. ![]() |
