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.

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.
The Beautiful and The Damned: Punk Photography by Ann Summa
More than 60 images of L.A.'s early punk scene shot by photographer Ann Summa between 1978 and 1984 make up "The Beautiful and the Damned", a show on display at Track 16 Gallery at the Bergamot Station Arts Center in Santa Monica. Following, in this post: a photo gallery of selected shots featured in the show.
Curated by filmmaker/journalist Kristine McKenna, the exhibition closes this weekend— but some prints will still be available for purchase. Please contact the gallery for details. They also have copies of Summa's gorgeous large-format photo book, The Beautiful and The Damned, which is also available on Amazon.
At left: Exene Cervenka (X) at legendary punk club The Masque. Here's another reason to visit Track 16 in person: they have an actual door from The Masque on display, original "Darby Crash fucked your mom" graffiti and all.
How can you not love a band called
