My Chemical Romance - The Ghoust Of You

[elknetld2kil]

They're shooting a video for it. It's gonna be the next single after "Helena", but they are also shooting a video for "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison".

I was hoping for the latter of the two to be single #3, only in full force. I don't know if they're the band to have a pop single and a rock single out at once just yet, but it's a nice song anyway.

"Ghoust," eh?

Both this and "Guys" are fine choices for subsequent singles.  After assuring my girlfriend that MCR would play "The Ghost of You" at our Taste of Chaos tour stop (they played it the first time we saw them on the Nintendo Fusion tour last fall), they failed to deliver it.  She was pretty disappointed, as it is her favorite song by them.  I was disappointed and greatly surprised. (Luckily, the Used came through for her/us and played "Blue and Yellow.")

They did, however, play "To the End" this time, which I had thought was a sure bet for the first time we saw them.  Not that that makes up for ditching "The Ghost of You" this time.

I love this band.  And while I wish them additional success, I'm nervous about the speed in which they seem to be accumulating it.  I blame their choice to play TRL, which, albeit, was a rational one, to hear them tell it.

Exactly the same story for me. Except that we were further let down when The Used left out "Buried Myself Alive", their biggest hit if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if "let down" is the right word because it was still an outstanding show nonetheless, but we both left thinking that the two bands should have been given longer sets.

I wonder if this will be the next breakout alternative band with the MTV promo and all.

I was also let down by the absence of "Buried Myself Alive."  I was expecting to hear that one for sure.  I don't think I vocalized my disappointment to Vicky, though.  I wholeheartedly agree that they should've played longer sets.  (And Killswitch, too.  I counted up what I remember them playing, and it was only like 5 songs.  Maybe I've forgotten one, but I counted an old one that I didn't know and then there were four others I remembered for sure.  I don't remember them playing any of the other ones off the current album.  I was severly disappointed that they didn't play my favorite tune of theirs: "When Darkness Falls.")

I cheered extra loudly for KsE, because they were the underdog, underappreciated metal band on the tour that the screaming MCR girls (I wasn't prepared for that.  ) don't appreciate.  I also cheered extra loudly when Senses Fail dropped in a large portion of Faith No More's "Epic" into one of their songs, in case any jerkoff teens in the audience haven't been doing their homework.

I'm sure Bert said very heartfelt audience participation pieces before "Blue and Yellow" and "All That I've Got" at your show as well.  Before the former, I had my arm around Vicky and we were already resting our heads together when Bert asked, "How many people came here tonight with their best friend?"  I raised my left hand and noticed Vicky just sitting there.  I jokingly snarled at her, "Raise your f*cking hand!"

I'm also sure, that at your show, after the Used played that they brought out MCR's stuff and Bob and Branden switched drum kits while Bert and Gerard led both bands through "Under Pressure" by Bowie and Queen.  I had to stand and cheer that one on extra, again, in case those the kids hadn't done their homework.  I'm actually gonna chart that performance this week somewhere.

Oh yeah, also, while the Used were playing, Howard Jones (KsE's singer) ran onstage, picked up Bert, held him like he was carrying him across a threshold, lifted him over his head and launched him into the crowd.  :)

Also, Adam from Killswitch (sideburned, black-haired guitarist) played in jeans he had cut off so short that a good two inches of his boxers were visible.  Ha!
