    “Jack saved my spot and I walked over to the merch tables and who do I see?

    Frank Iero the only member of MCR I haven’t met yet.

    I walk up to Frank and give him a little tap…

    Frank: Hey man whats up?
    Drew: Nothing Frank, you know your the only one I havent met?
    Frank: Really dude? Shit! Whats your name!?
    Drew: Im Drew. Haha, yeah lemme get a picture Frank?
    Frank: Of course!!

    Drew: Shit thanks Frank!
    Frank: Aw man its really no problem!
    Drew: Could you do me a favor tonight?
    Frank: Sure Drew.
    Drew: My good friend is here tonight and two of his really good friends tickets tonight but they couldnt make it tonight. Their names are John and Nick, and I was wondering if you could dedicate "Vampires Will Never Hurt You” to them?
    Frank: Of FUCKIN course Drew!
    Drew: Sweet Frank, rock for me tonight.
    Frank: That wont be a problem at all!

    Ah man, Frank is fucking so nice. Their all so nice. It blows my mind how a band can give so much back to their fans. But then what happened next almost blew my mind…

    After talking to Frank Im looking at some stuff on the wall when I feel someone tap my shoulder and IT IS RAY TORO.…

    Ray: Heyyy Drew hows it going!!!
    Drew: Holy shit! Hey Ray its good!
    Ray: Thats good to hear Drew, thanks for coming out again! Jesus how many times have you seen us now?
    Drew: Haha, this is only my 3rd Ray, but their coming rapidly.
    Ray: Alright man! Thank you so much.
    Drew: No problem Ray, Ill talk to you later rock on tonight!

    Whew. That blew my mind. I didnt go up to Ray, Ray came up to me. And remembering my name after nearly a month? I thought I was going to faint.

    I went back to my spot in the front and told Jack that Frank was going to do the dedication. Jacks eyes blew up to the size of sausages and he started to thank me like crazy. Its really not hard, all i had to do was ask!“

  • moments when they talk about what mcr means to them

    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
