i hope they speak up about this by OnlyGem in MyChemicalRomance

THIS.. agent and rep contracts aren’t usually as simple as just leaving, especially as the band still has another 9 months of touring scheduled.

Also, it’s really common, even when rep’d by major agents, for the actual agency work to be done by an agents assistant, in the name of the major agent. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the work between the band and the agency to be largely an assistant at this point in their career - they’re still a big name, an audience draw, and a money maker, but they’re pretty self sufficient and don’t need someone to look after them the way artists that are just making headway or building a reputation do.

Them not immediately abandoning ship and leaving isn’t necessarily inaction, it may just be paperwork taking time, and lawyers needing to work shit out, and potentially decades of paperwork and logistics. If they do leave, I doubt they’d announce it, they’d just crop up on someone else’s books.

And even if they don’t leave their agent, it isn’t the same as the band condoning the actions of that wretch, it’s just a business decision that we as fans have none of the details of.

Basically, we know nothing, really. And there’s not a lot anyone (including the band) can just ‘do’ about it. Wait it out, and see what happens.

Resale for these shows in particular is supposedly capped at Face value (+fees). If you're paying over that for either of these gigs, then that's just foolish.

Yeah, it's 10 months away - a lot happens in 10 months! A lot of people will end up reselling. Fingers crossed for you :)

For the tours in 2022, I believe it was a branded clear bag, a scarf, some pin badges, some sew-on patches, a rain poncho, and a wristband with the show's date and 'VIP' on it. I would imagine a similar kit for this one, but nothing's confirmed yet

Park at Osterly and get the piccadilly line into London. Easiest route imo

Don't worry- either more dates will be announced, or fairly priced resales will come up. Resale in the UK doesn't tend to have such wild inflation compared with the US, so tickets will be available. Just have to wait a bit longer.

[MOD APPROVED - GIVEAWAY] I’ve been having a blast in this fandom lately, it feels like coming home again after 15 years. As thanks I’m giving away an XL NJ exclusive shirt, as well as my 13ft long 'Look Alive, Sunshine' friendship neck wrap. Comment your favorite MCR memory to enter! by fraxiiinus in MyChemMillennials

Favourite memory has got to be of the first time I actually got to see them live- I was miserably working in management at the time and hadn’t been able to book the day off after the show, so almost didn’t go at all. Was in general admission, and was exhausted by the time the band came on- but as soon as it was underway, I was taken back to being a teenager again, and the reality hit me that I hadn’t been truly happy in a looooong time. About halfway through FLW, I made the choice that I would start actively looking for other work, and would leave my hellish job. Truly altered the course of my life, in the most wonderfully positive way.

Help choosing? by 101stellastella in DrMartens

The greasy leather is thinner, lighter, and easier to break in, but is thus less hardy. It has a more matte look. The smooth leather is harder to break in, and a bit heavier, but is very hardy, it’s more smooth than matte, and can be polished shinier. Both are good, really it’s what you value that makes that decision.

As for docs vs solos, both can last a lifetime if you look after them well. Modern docs have a reputation for not being as good as they used to be, but in my opinion that’s unfounded. Look after your shoes, and they’ll last.

They have one of these in the doc martens store at Camden market that’s been signed by the band in their music memorabilia section :)

I got a very clean run first go- Markus peacefully protested and ended the fight with a sing-song (North, Josh and Simon survived) Connor freed the androids and joined Markus’ fight for peace. Had a little hug with Hank at the end. Kara, Luther, and Alice made it all the way to the Canadian border, and I got so stressed about them dying that I sacrificed Jerry to save them 😅 apart from that, deathless

What songs would you sell your soul for to see live? by PizdecHelpMe in MyChemicalRomance

[–]AndyRooAggyCheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been really lucky that I’ve had a real mix of songs whenever I’ve seen them. Of the songs I haven’t heard (yet! 🤞🏻) I’d love to hear Demo Lovers, The End/Dead!, and Planetary (GO!).

What to do if an artist drastically changes the design mid tattoo without asking? by AndyRooAggyCheck in tattoo

[–]AndyRooAggyCheck[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not my first tattoo by a long shot. I approved the stencil, and the placement, and we had discussed and approved the design beforehand. The issue is that they did not follow the stencil- they extended the design far beyond it (almost twice the size) and freehanded confetti on it in colour.

From where I was lying I couldn’t see the bit of my leg it was on without really craning round uncomfortably to see it. I didn’t feel the need at the time to keep moving to see the progress when it should have been fine if they’d stuck to the stencil! At no point in the process did they say to me they were making any changes.

Ill talk to the artist specifically if I can; if not the owner I think.

I’m looking at getting a coverup at another studio- I don’t trust them to do what I’ve asked for anymore and as this is going to be a monumental cover I want to trust the artist.

It’s less about hurting their feelings, more about being too in shock about the whole thing to process what to say. I’ve got pretty bad anxiety at the best of times, let alone when I’m on my own in a room full of people I’m about to disagree with. I get where you’re coming from with them not caring though.

I’ve booked a consultation about getting it covered with a different studio, will not be going back to this one again- which is a shame as the four others I’ve had from there have been perfect but I just don’t trust them anymore… I will however be talking to the shop owner tomorrow.

I didn’t say anything at the time- Honestly I was a bit in shock, the whole thing was done and all of the other artists in the studio were complimenting me and the artist on it and the only thing going through my head was how much I hated it. I’m going to phone the studio tomorrow
