gerard: to us, it’s the greatest band in the world. and that’s all that matters to us and it’s always been that way. it’s been that way since the first practice, through the good times the bad times, everything. through the rough schedules and the no sleep. it’s still the greatest band to us. so, um, we’re in a band that’s much more than a band. and I don’t think a lot of people get to do that. we can be whatever we want we can play whatever we want we can sing about whatever we want. and we can be extremely creative doing it, because we’ve never given an explanation or an apology for being the way we are.

“A WHOLE LOTTA EMO TOUR 2005 – SWEET vs HUGE. THE REVENGE. COMING: APRIL 2005”
this is real btw
“A WHOLE LOTTA EMO TOUR 2005 – SWEET vs HUGE. THE REVENGE. COMING: APRIL 2005”
I can’t find any results when I google the above text, but there are three separate 2005 livejournal accounts referring to this tour as the 01/27/2005 – 01/28/2005 english dates (liverpool & brixton) 11/06/2005 (glasgow) and 02/04/2005 (islington)
if you recall my post about fans making gifts (ie. frankie bracelet foundation) for mcr, the gifts were to be presented to them on this tour. and their post is where I got the picture above.
my question is: why are the dates scattered almost a year apart?
I guess just different dates of the same tour? january, february, april and november just seems scattered.
as you can see mcr isn’t on the bill even so maybe this tour flew under the radar. was just surprised to have never heard of this tour like ever. lmk if anyone has!
also @xxv4mpyf4ngzz some follow up on the receiving of these gifts:
“I said hey to Ray quickly and apologised for not bringing him socks. He said it was OK. Soaf and Rosie showed him their “I wanna be the next Ray Toro” t-shirts and he got a bit excited.
We went over to say hi to Frank, Lozi gave him the bracelets she had made him. Frank loves bracelets, true story. Alison presented him with THE SIGN.
Frank: “Ass needs tappin’? That’s straightforward!”
Us: *gigglegiggleROFL*”what did their sign say for frank to say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the show they went to was 02/04/2005 islington academy england
