'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
What bands have gone with this approach before?
I know lots of solo acts do this, because a friend of mine is married to a very nice guy who is constantly recording or on tour with Tori Amos or Morrissey.
(And good G-d, if by wacky coincidence her husband ends up being the touring drummer for MCR, I am pulling EVERY connection I have to get to meet them. Oh yes.)
Was this about the time when the cries of SELLOUT began to echo through the land?
Yes, but because they had often stated that if one of them quit, the entire band would quit.
Ah.
Well, life happens, doesn't it? Try and explain that to a bunch of durn kids...
I remember the REM thing a bit differently (for some of my friends the cries of "Sell out" happened way before Bill Berry had his aneurysm) - they were going to tour with different drummers but still record with Bill. But that wound up not working either.
Of course, that was a while back.
So from the Kerrang articles it looks like My Chem just isn't going to have a drummer.
Because THERE'S NO REPLACING BOB.

I think a lot of Buffistas will dig this: [link]
It's a band playing on the NYC subway using only their iPhones as instruments.

What a classic example of using technology to make music, rather than needing it.
That's pretty cool!
Ok, miracle on YouTube...
Some merch dude from My Chem days of yore just put up a 7 year old video of the boys back and on stage. It is filled with goodies.
I'm pretty much like the girl at 4:25 over this thing.
