i’m gonna do a MCR riff for my riff IG account today, please recommend one. i’m debating between helena, the sharpest lives and i’m not okay right now but im open to suggestions
its not a fashion statement its a death wish i never told you what i do for a living thank you for the venom famous last words mama dead the sharpest lives the jetset life is gonna kill you cemetery drive you know what they do to guys like us in prison this is how i disappear oops did i list too many
I love the way Gerard sings on House of Wolves. The vocal take is really perfect with so many little flourishes, like rolling the R.
"And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down I wanna hear you sing the praise I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down We got innocence for days" I've always interpreted him as singing "I saidddddddd, ashes to ashes, we all fall down". Also all the lyrics I've seen so far say "ashes to ashes" rather than "rashes to ashes."
I love all these top lists but honestly there's only like 5/6 songs that would feel out of place to me in a best of list and even those are cool in their own way.
I keep wanting to make a top 5, but I honestly can't because I have no idea how to approach it, because their hits are sooo good, definitely a band for me where I think a lot of the "right" songs are hits, and they're so ingrained in me, but at the same time, some of the songs I've come to love over the years like The Sharpest Lives for example, also deserve to be up there. But could I really pick Sharpest Lives over Black Parade? Idk And then there are days where I could honestly pick 5 songs from Danger Days too, but that wouldn't be right either. Anyway, right now I'm inclined to say: To The End The Sharpest Lives Welcome to the Black Parade I Don't Love You Summertime
I wasn’t a very big fan of danger days when it came out but have been revisiting it since the announcement and I absolutely love it Possibly my favorite of theirs at this point but really excited to have these guys back. Can’t wait to see them on tour
finishing my initial listen i would rank them: Three Cheers Black Parade CW Debut DD - this one is still pretty good. Bulletproof Heart, Planetary (GO), Party Poison etc. are bangers. saying it’s their worst is fine but acting like it’s unlistenable is kinda weird.
Famous Last Words DESTROYA Thank You for The Venom (first band in highschool was called Fire At Will) Burn Bright Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back I mean the second one was a joke and the first part was tongue in cheek but lets unpack that. There's plenty of perfectly good songs by artists that people love on this site that I don't care for. I would be totally fine never hearing anything from "I Brought You My Bullets..." ever again but I don't think me not liking those songs makes them objectively bad. And I don't really accept "it's all subjective" because then there's nothing to talk about ever. Also, taking what I said as "You don't like ANY good songs." Is a pretty disingenuous reading of what I said.
Went to get my haircut on my lunch break today and I walk into the Barbershop and Welcome to the Black Parade was on.
The bravery that getting your hair cut mid-work-day requires is something I did not know anyone posessed.
Damn, I just go home and hang out with my cats. It's like you're a functioning member of society or whatever.
The two days a week I don't go to the gym, I go home and eat cheerios and bananas And I play with my dog. And sometimes say hi to my wife & kids.
