It was a lie when they smiled and said "You won't feel a thing"

The anticipation of My Chemical Romance's 2010 album has been astronomical with thousands of fans having high hopes that this album will be incredibly successful as the last album, Welcome to the Black Parade. Fans fare welled the band after they properly killed off the album's song in Mexico City 2007 hoping to return back to their punk rock roots with less of the theatrical affairs that the Black Parade brought.

Australian fans awaited the band's appearance at Soundwave but two weeks prior to event Frank updated on the site announcing the news that Gerard had severe vocal problems which lead to the band being pulled off the lineup being replaced by Jimmy Eat World.

March 3 My Chemical Romance's rhythm guitarist Frank Iero posted on the site announcing tragic news that Bob Bryar had decided to part ways with the band. Many fans confused, shocked and upset have handled the news by talking with other fans.

Having running TeamMikeyWay on twitter for a few months now I have some insight on how fans feels about this decision. I for one is terribly sad and upset, I do admit to crying but I also do admit to 'Keeping the Faith' and respecting his decision.

I urge all fans to respect Bob' decision and just a remember what he's been through for the band; good and bad. A point that I would like to bring up is just an observation that I had along with what my friend pointed out in a comment on a Facebook status is that he has changed since the death of Dixie. He seemed to have distanced himself from and of course being on Twitter I have missed his posts, but now with the departure from the band.. I do hope he's well. Other factors i.e his wrist may play a factor to him leaving but I do not wish for fans to run with the idea that he was 'kicked-out' of the band nor have the band and Bob 'got sick of each other'. To the fans, the band nor Bob himself would appreciate rumors spreading around his departure and as the MCRmy we are obligated to support him and the band in their future endeavours.

In conclusion, have a Red Bull for Bob Bryar! He's deserving of some praise for being an amazing drummer.

This is the Future

2010 is here and a brand new sheet of paper has been put in front of me, it's now my time to put pen to paper and write, write away a year and write a new year. 2009 had been a crappy year so my expectation of 2010 are high and also my personal expectations are exceptionally high. Although 2009 wasn't all a crappy year, a few nice things happened but the one I clearly remember was the 11th of April.


The 11/4/09 was when I went to Mindless Self Indulgence's Sydney gig at the UNSW Roundhouse. The atmosphere was terrific and I had the time of my life seeing as though it was my first performance and to see MSI was even better, couldn't think of a better band to perform with such energy and awesomeness, but less on that (I won't ramble on seeing as though I wrote a blog about the night on my wordpress).


So I'm currently watching 'You're Beautiful' and so far I'm in love, it's incredibly hilarious and also I'll admit that I've shed a few tears. Reveiw will be posted after I watch it ^_^


Well now that's all updated for now I'd best be off.
