My Chemical Romance Band • Page 586

I'm not sure how she's famous, but I had a friend that recently saw her live and she did a cover of Welcome to the Black Parade.

 

She got her start on YouTube and was very edgy back in the day to say the least but somehow has turned her image around and now releases music but I was really surprised to see her with Gerard. I guess she’s been a fan for many years and is doing that cover at every show.

 

She's a fairly well-known content creator originally from the YouTube space that started out as kind of a troll and has transitioned into the podcast space where I feel that she's pretty genuine. She has a knack for saying some out of pocket shit, but is usually quick to admit when she was wrong and tries to be a better person than she was online years ago.

I think she's best known to some as the former co-host of Frenemies with Ethan Klein and her walkout of the pod when it turned into Ethan just being belligerent and nasty to her (shocker).

 

Oh no thanks

 

There's too many people

 

her voice also hurts my ears

 

Apparently the Three Cheers rerelease debuted at #6 on the Billboard charts. Absolutely wild, the original's highest peak was #28 lol. Obviously sales numbers to chart positions were much different 20+ years ago but still, super awesome to see.

 

whoa...the power of vinyl variants?

 

I saved my first listen of the remix for vinyl, picked it up last week and I gotta say it absolutely blows my vinyl copy of the OG mix away and it’s not even close.

 

It's up there with some of the better remasters from an original release IMO. Somehow sounds fresh and renewed whiel still capturing the energy of the original release. I don't feel like I lose much of anything when I listen to it.

 

Ok so if (and when) I rule the music industry, all acts will have to follow Phil's Rules For Reissues (or PRFR):

1) Remastering of original album should be first and foremost
2) Remastering does NOT mean new mix; new mixes can be separate version.
3) ALL B-Sides from the era should be included. "Era" is loosely defined as the songs released in and around said album, including ones from any deluxe, singles and/or live albums that come out
4) Demos/acoustic versions should ONLY be included if version is somewhat different than studio version. We don't need band practice versions of songs.

 

4. WRONG

 

I wouldn't consider an acoustic version worthless or "band practice".

Demos I can take or leave because some demos really do just sound like the album version but unproduced, but I can see why some people might find value in it.

 

It does seem odd to me in the digital age of playlists that more bands, if able, don't just have a playlist of their b-sides and one-offs ready to roll. Granted not every band is in control of that.

 

Morgan Wallen having 2 top 10 albums at the same time is such a bummer lol

 

That’s awesome insight from Howard! Thanks for sharing, Jason. I sent him and Rich Costey some emails to “beef up” the article I’m tinkering with for this site, but I assumed both were flooded with similar requests since I never heard back from either one.

 

The worst

 

More tour dates announced

 

The amount of dates and how far out they are feels like something big is coming

 

Something is going to happen either on the first day of the US tour or right before it, I can feel it in my bones.

 

I'm done psyching myself out with this band lol if they release new music, I'll take it as an unexpected surprise

 

Don't get your hopes up

 

Oh don't worry I'm tempering my expectations as much as I can
