So, there is this little band called My Chemical Romance. We have all been anxiously waiting for June 24th. On this day, the DVD/CD entitled “The Black Parade is Dead” hits stores, online outlets, and other avenues. Starting today, you’ll be able to preorder said DVD/CD directly from theblackparadeisdead.com. It depicts the final “Black Parade” show in all of its arena-rock glory, live from Mexico City this past Fall. We also decided to include a video of the intimate show we had at New Jersey’s legendary club, Maxwells, this past October. We played one of our very first shows on that stage, and it was amazing to be on it once again. These shows were some of the most memorable and fun we’ve ever had onstage. The kids at the Mexico City show actually overpowered the PA, and their voices were deafening. The Maxwells show was complete pandemonium, and the video captures the feeling of and old school MCR show, the way it was way back when. I want to apologize for the wait, as we wanted to make sure that it was absolutely perfect for your viewing pleasure.
With the pre-order, you are entitled to 3 DRM-free download of select tracks from the Mexico City show (Mama, Dead, and Welcome to the Black Parade). Inside the special edition, you’ll find the DVD tucked inside of a collectible pinewood coffin box with our logo burned into the top. Also, inside, you will receive 1 of 5 Day of The Dead-esque masks we each designed. We had a blast designing them, and hope you have a blast wearing them, (or whatever else you choose to do with them). The special edition also contains a “death certificate of authenticity with our signatures printed on it. This edition if extremely limited, so if you want one, pre-order sooner than later.  We are almost finished with our special intimate theater tour and it’s been insane. Some of venues we haven’t played in many years, and flood my head with fond memories. It’s amazing to be able to share with all of our fans old and new. We love each and every one of you, and hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it. Regards Mikeyway  From beyond the greatness that is live footage of such momentous events comes a preview of such a thing. Only to be seen by the weary who have waiting ages for the day of release, only for those subscribers to the MCR YouTube channel, and only for the loyal and dedicated followers. I bring you, “The Black Parade is Dead!” That shall be all lads and lassies. | |||||

I was unable to access the site the past few days, so don’t mind me. General The package captures different sides of My Chemical Romance by spotlighting two very different shows. The CD and DVD feature concert highlights from the huge Palacio de los Deportes sports arena in Mexico City on October 7th, 2007 and the intimate Maxwell’s club in Hoboken, NJ, on October 24th, 2007. Both shows demonstrate why critics have raved about The Black Parade World Tour, which began on February 22nd, 2007, and will conclude with a triumphant sold out hometown headlining show at New York City’s fabled Madison Square Garden on May 9th, 2008. Beginning on May 5th when the website goes live, fans will be able to pre-order “The Black Parade is Dead!” by visiting www.theblackparadeisdead.com, where they can also view a trailer for the DVD. Anyone who pre-orders the album from this special website will also gain access to downloads of three DRM-free tracks from the Mexico City show: “Welcome to the Black Parade,” “Mama,” and “Dead!”. “The Black Parade is Dead!” will also be released in a collectible, limited-edition version, which will feature the CD and DVD, plus a mask designed by one of the band members, in a pine box coffin. (Each band member has designed one mask, which has been selected for inclusion in each box at random.) Another CD/DVD bundle also includes an exclusively designed t-shirt. All special editions are available only online. You can read excerpts from an interview with Ben of Billy Talent in which he discusses touring with MCR: BK: I’ve been great. We’ve been great. It’s been weird because we were home for about six months, writing the next record and everything was going good, then we got the call. “My Chem want you to open for them!” and we can’t say no ’cause they are such great guys and that’s lots of humans that we’d be playing in front of every night. We’re halfway through the tour now and it’s been amazing, amazing, amazing. Shows have been great, people have been great. Did you know My Chemical Romance before this tour? BK: We met them in the summer. We were doing festivals in Europe and they were there and we bumped paths. They were in Finland when we were there and they called us up that morning and asked us if we wanted to play with them. So we went and played and forged this relationship with them. They are really sweet and very nice to us, so, yeah, it’s a good mix. So what do you do on the road for fun? BK: Well My Chem has a road case with a plasma TV, guitar hero and Xbox. They have remote control cars. They have lots of fun stuff. We’re the losers. We read books, watch DVDs and play poker. We’re not the hippest cats. Do you ever sneak over to their bus and try to play? BK: I haven’t actually yet. I’m not a big fan of Guitar Hero. Check out waydown’s wicked set of photos from the Austin show.

Anyway… General MCRmy Spain reports that Warner Music Spain confirms the release date for “The Black Parade is Dead” will be June 24th. One of my fave-tastic Canadian rock bands, Billy Talent, have been posting a tour dairy with the shenanigans that occur on tour. To Gerard, hope you are also eating your Wheaties. |

General Apparently the special edition of The Black Parade vinyl set with two 15-page books and two records, originally set at only 2,500 copies, is back in the MCR store with a limited quantity of 200 remaining. Head on over and pick up a copy if you’re interested, for $39.99US. In addition, there are a few more new items in there which you can check out by clicking the link.  I love the terminology used in the following article. There have been outbreaks of anti-emo violence in Mexico as of March. Gerard decided to speak out about this at the bands recent performance at Zero Fest in the same country, and you can read a short article about the incidents and his response here. Check out another article about the Denver show on Trashwire.com. Written by Alexis. From March 31st, the Rolling Stone has an article on the Arizona show as well as a photo gallery here. The latest Kerrang magazine has an article on MCR at Bamboozle Left. Check it out and see what else is in the issue here.  Zat is Zall I have for Zou |
