I saw MCR at the Warped Tour a couple of years ago. I think I saw them. One of those shabby looking groups screaming out obscenities to shrieking fans.

Granted, I was primarily there for Billy Idol, who, admittedly, yelled out a few obscenities of his own to shrieking fans.

But I have no memory of MCR. Dropkick Murphys were fun, though.

The one with the fluffy curly hair?

Yes!! Him!!

Ray! The guitar player!

Xposty from a reply to Deb G's Livejournal.

Something on Deb's LJ reminded me of an old skit I can't quite recall where the driver was out of film for his camera and everyone starts seeing all sorts of fantastic things like aliens and a swordfight between God (or was it the archangel Gabriel?) and Satan...

In trying to see if it was an old SNL skit, I found the IMDB descriptions of SNL episodes. Even though the descriptions are a bit dry, they made me instantly recall how solid and packed those early seasons were.

But back to the point. Does anyone remember that skit, and what show it was? SNL? Fridays? Other?

What search string should I use for short military jacket?

Black military velvet jacket, searching title and descrip.

Ah, back when all the boys were still drinking and flirting with self-destruction.

Aimée that one is Ray Toro, and is one of the guitar players. He comes across as very sweet and thoughtful in interviews. Just so you know, I'm trading you for the lead singer.

A) That I totally assumed.

and B) Thank dog, cause I thought maybe I picked the one you liked and you were going to parasol me to death.

Good choice, Jilli. He's so purrrrty.

Just don't wear a LARGE hat to a concert (or any performance for that matter), as anyone short and sitting or standing behind you will suffer and cry.

Bwah! No, you're safe. I keep explaining to Pete that he and the lead singer could bond over being illustrators who became disenchanted with the comics industry, and play D&D together (because the entire band are huge geeks, according to all reports). Pete just gives me that very tolerant look.

I totally need to find out if the MCR boys played Magic, and if they did, do they want to meet a certain artist who has done the most work in M:tG ...

(Did I mention I'm already planning my outfit for the concert that isn't until May?)

(Is my coat going to make an appearance?)

Dropkick Murphys were fun, though.

Dropkick Murphys are ALWAYS fun. Despite my aversion to St. Patrick's Day, I would pay a lot of money to see them in a bar in Boston on any random March 17th.

edit: and blast. They'll be in California in March, but only as far north as Ventura! Not fair!

(Is my coat going to make an appearance?)

It's one of the top two contenders.
