gerard: i’ve talked about control over the years. yknow? um. not often because I didn’t- I haven’t talked much in the last 7 or 8 years except for like the concerts yknow? and um. I did like an interview with aiden gallagher from umbrella. we talked about control a lot and we’re talking the about the reunion show at the shrine and I was like look I just wanna get up there and make it about the songs and just have a good fucking time with my friends and. yknow? but um. yeah I examined my own versions of that and control and stuff like that and all these shows we played over the years and be like
“raise your fist and do this” fuckin control people but its really. it’s really not that. I mean it is for some people. and maybe for a time it was for me. but I spoke to somebody in europe, one of the members of this tour and they were like “dude people just want to be a part of shit” yknow? you don’t have to control them. because it’s not about the ego- this onstage, it’s not about like “look what I made those motherfuckers do” sometimes it’s about that. if I make you do really fucking stupid rad shit, but. there’s a lot of that. anyway, I’m talking too long but um. that’s like a really delicate way of telling you:
at 1:02 frank had to test the guitar on his knees why is he so cute? theres a chair right there but he had to practice his rock moves ™
mikey: “we left the venue and we forgot to lock the trailer and this dude (frank) went on the highway to try to get my bass back. He risked life and limb. yeah. everything fell out.”
currently picturing frank hanging out of a moving van and nearly grabbing the neck of the bass as it ejected onto the interstate
Frank’s parts are all performed through posters on her wall. If you’re interested, I watched the film, and the girl is called unaffectionately “Night Tara” because she has night terrors- and her name is Tara? All the photos on her wall are Frank in a wig and his parts are spoken by a deep jamaican voice- unsure if a voice filter LOL. In this universe he’s “Hank Hero” of Sister Oblivion. Hank’s her fav.
This was surprisingly funny. Especially the “focus on something on the wall” bit.
