Of the people I met doing that they were either really delightful or really scary.

We'd surely be of the delightful sort.

I'm trying to nap before My Chemical Rehearsal tonight because I've basically been awake since Tuesday morning but My Chemical Adrenaline has kicked in and it looks like that ain't gonna happen...

I'm looking forward to the Madison Square Madness tomorrow night, but its going to be whooole other scene than the two shows at the Electric Factory.

My Toro Pick has little scratches on it. From the mad mad shredding. I could just fucking die.

Did you guys read the ridiculousness about the 13-year-old girl in England who killed herself because she was part of an "emo cult" who listened to MCR? [link]

(Not ridiculous that she killed herself -- obviously -- but because The Black Parade is being mentioned as a factor.)

(Oh, and how MCR is so *incredibly* pro-suicide. t /sarcasm )

I'm not even going to click on that link, because if it's the article I think it is, there was a HUGE response to it explaining that there is no such thing as an "emo cult", MCR actively tries to encourage their fans to get help if they're depressed, and that on the whole, the writer was a moron.

Oh, Teppy, Toro's hands are GIGANTIC.

I mean like whoah

Nrgh.

Definitely not clicking on that link.

I am excited - it looks like I'll be going to a lot more live shows now, and even better, not have to pay for them. This is a win-win, I feel.

on the whole, the writer was a moron.

The writer clearly is, but he (she? I can't remember what gender the author is) got his/her ideas from a larger context of people who are totally missing the point.

Which one is he?

Ray Toro, Guitar God

(The lead guitar, the one who headbangs even when playing acoustic.)

It would be nice if people would stop blaming adolescent suicide on music preferences. Correlation does not imply causation, you fearmongering motherfuckers.

The guitarist with the 'fro.

He plays Desert Song on an accoustic guitar. And he's sitting on his little chair right in front of me and his hands just DEVOUR the guitar and in the course of my blissing out I'm thinking "Teppy would climb over security and get him..."

There was a lot of backlash in the UK about the inference that MCR was an "emo cult." Since Gerard has spoken more than once from stage about the importance of getting help if you're depressed, clearly the author has their head firmly up their arse.

Bears repeating.
