Suprise! I’m sick again! I may look like a boatswain and smell like a corpse, but the shows are still a go for the weekend. Please try and check us out at Maxwells this Friday with The Lawndarts and The High School Sweethearts. We’re very excited to be playing Maxwells and it’s been a personal dream of mine ever since I was a kid going to shows there. There are some people flying out and travelling many miles to see us so keep them company and meet some new friends. Click SHOWS and get the skinny on where it’s going down.
We’re also trying a first this weekend for My Chem- 2 shows in one day. This Saturday we have the pleasure of playing Alissa’s Basement at 6:00 and then we hop in the van to make soundcheck at The Loop as soon as we finish. Eyeball label-mates, Little Joe Gould are coming out all the way from Indiana for this show so we’ve decided to risk health and safety to play both shows. If you’ve seen the shape of us after just one set you’re probably curious what we will be like at the second show – so are we. I can assure you a night of “hot male action” and “stinky boys”.
Also check out our good friends in The Ghost and The Exit in our links section. We had the good fortune of seeing both bands play 2 nights last weekend and they were great. Drinking in The Ghost van outside of CBs with Jordan and T-Top was definitely a plus.
I need a shave, a new dye-job, and some decongestant so I’ll leave you with the image of me sitting in my house watching Mad Monster Party, moaning, sweating, boxer-clad, and trying to hit the high notes in Headfirst For Halos. – g”

When he finally decided to get a new one, I went and fished the old one out of the trash and kept it. The lock code was the address from my childhood house – this thing just meant something to me. When My Chemical Romance got together, we had this idea of doing something cool with the merch with something we could pop open at every show. Gerard [Way] and I went to a fabric store, and we lined that old briefcase and it became our merch set-up.” – Frank Iero07/2016 death spells interview

got a vhs player and some converters to upload the mcr bootleg soon.
It says fireside bowl 2002 lol and it’s likely the version on yt
but dammit what if it’s not
It was made after 2010.. but curious @spaceyraygun this isn’t your bootleg is it? highly doubt it due to the fact that the vhs references like 3 different eras.
We’ve got “2002” then a 2005 scan of mcr and then the danger days spider (2010). there’s no telling.
There are 15 of these vhs out there and available through the link if anyone is interested.
darn. the bootleg contained the brad nolan recording that has been available on yt for a couple years. 12/02/2002 fireside bowl chicago il – brad nolan video from katies music archive and fanremaster
in notes @spaceyraygun explained there were bootlegs of brad nolan’s videos (of fireside bowl 2002 &2003) that showed on youtube in the last couple of years. which confirmed that the tape was created relatively recently lol
there was this moment with with these letters at the beginning that are new. it could be an early brad nolan watermark (don’t quote me on that I have no idea what it is)
google translate: “no book” also it told me the language might not be supported and it couldn’t detect it.
Check out this awesome never-before-seen footage of My Chemical Romance recording their 2002 debut album.
Nada Recording Studio has posted a great mini-documentary of the band recording I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love a whopping 12 years ago. AMAZING.
