Gerard's Commentary on My Chemical Romance Songs
Listening to The Black Parade, which I haven't done since it was mastered. So batshit crazy..WB let us put this insanity out- LOVE IT.
2013-03-27 02:46:27Hahaha...everything is so intense on this. I'm singing like I stuck a scorpion up my ass. Gonna go enjoy...
2013-03-27 02:52:31I dunno guys, "Famous Last Words" kinda kicks "Sleep's" ass. FLW for the win!
2013-03-27 04:14:55Last word on BP. "Kill All Your Friends" should have been on the album. Onwards...
2013-03-28 01:11:06Wow...no time is wasted getting into the fucking face-shredding on this album.
2013-03-28 01:22:41Give 'Em Hell- hands down my fav song to play live. It's like riding a cruise missle. Demo version had "fake french" in it. I still miss it.
2013-03-28 01:29:27Howard Benson did an amazing job with these vocals.Swagger and cut. To point out a difference- I'm def polluted/angry on REV, possesed on BP
2013-03-28 01:36:25Keith Morris from The Circle Jerks screaming at the end of "Hang 'Em High" Mega priceless. His subliminal buried story in the bridge-amazing
2013-03-28 02:15:02"Fashion Statement"- probably my favorite off the album. The first song we wrote a week after finishing "Bullets"
2013-03-28 02:16:43The ending movement in "Fashion.." was inspired by the end of "All Star Me" by @ChrisLaneConley , one of my biggest influences.
2013-03-28 02:21:55The "...thought you was Batman" line is prob one of my favs I ever wrote...followed by my best Patti Smith impression on the bridge.
2013-04-01 11:29:44Some of the guitars in Na Na Na are actually keyboard guitar samples that we called "Black Metal Guitars"
2013-04-01 11:31:24Last chorus harmonies on "Bulletproof" were stacked to sound like @stryperband. Rich Costey and I orig concieved them during CW mixing
2013-04-01 11:37:21"Sing" shreds... opening is meant to sound like Chemical Bros. The bridge originally had a sample from the old "Avengers" show. Emma Peel..
2013-04-01 11:40:37Hahaha..."Planetary" is fucking awesome. Control room was like a rave when we did it. Prob the most "bold claims" of any lyrics I've written
2013-04-01 11:43:34My fav memory of "Only Hope" is dedicating it to a girl who was at a show via @Makeawish
2013-04-01 11:49:26John Miceli played the shit out of these drums... and Wookie too
2013-04-01 11:51:34"Party Poison"- Airi did an amazing job with the Japanese. She is also the BLI woman in the videos...
2013-04-01 11:54:08"Save Yourself".Fav lyric of all time is on this- "It's ain't about all the friends you made, but the graffiti they write on your grave".Ha!
2013-04-01 11:57:13Also the best use of "You Motherfucker" ever. Hands down. Come at me.
