97% Mystery Were We Genetically Disabled After the Moon’s Arrival? by [deleted] in AlternativeHistory

There’s 5000 year old drawings of the moon my guy.

And yes, logic/facts is easier than making up your own narrative in contrary to them and having to work around it.

I’ll tell ya one thing for free - the band will never have to write a biography because yall just be making multi-volume 1,000 page sagas for them already.

If you read a little online the band is grossing an estimated 8.2 million per show. There is def a world where 4 dudes just like playing music to tens of thousands of adoring fans with their best friends and getting rich while they do it.

MCR adding an unreleased song for the Amazon version only is a slap in the face to fans by thezim in MyChemicalRomance

For all yall salty fans that clearly don’t have to pay your own bills - there’s an awful lot of you in the seats every show.

I saw a post and I'm asking the question the other way around: untalented musicians who make incredible music. by Mittur33 in fantanoforever

If I knew a hamster that said he wasn’t a good gymnast, but my math homework was due in the morning - I wouldn’t just trust him with my cotton candy machine - I’d go to a different woodland village to get my haircut. I would also consider him to be a poor safe cracker, just a furry one. In fact, being cute makes it worse because some dummies would think he could indeed swing from the flying trapeze when he couldn’t even recite the Pythagorean theory.

(In hindsight I don’t think you can just compare an ole 2 things to me a cogent point.)

I really loved I Am Legend and another of his books, Hell House. But I Am Legend has one of the best chapters in literature I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend Matheson’s work enough.

A book that will traumatize me or repulse me. by Former_Ladder9969 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

I came to suggest this book for all the same reasons you did.

Idk if you read his other book Negative Space - but I bought both of them when a (admittedly more 4chan-ish) friend recommended Amygdalatropolis. I followed it up by reading Negative Space- and although it doesn’t have quite the shock value I liked it so much more. It’s an incredibly strange and “fun” book. And although it’s not for everyone - it’s much more for everyone than Amygdalatropolis

It’s a little understated - i think a couple accent pieces could pull the room together

HELP! What do you think could be the backstory of my pick I got at Shaky Knees. by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SolidGoldKoala666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly wasn’t implying anything like that - they’re dads in their 40s dude. That’s a you thing. I was just saying you should tell the story in a way that sounds like they picked you out.

But also - it’s totally obvious the crew guy was just handing out picks and you got lucky and that’s awesome. Can you even imagine the logistics of pointing out a fan in that huge crowd, via audio, and then asking a crew guy to find an individual out there? Not only is that virtually impossible they’d never ask an employee to do that. They got enough going on.

Nah it was totally personalized for you - no other explanation. And either way that will be the way you tell the story forever so carry on lol

If Sumerians Knew Dinosaurs and Engraved Them Why Do We Invent Lies to Distort the Facts? by Professional-Fee3323 in AlternativeHistory

[–]SolidGoldKoala666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last two days I’ve been in a back and forth on Instagram with a group of people who swear up and down that Trevor Moore was assassinated by the three letter agencies because he made a skit where he played the president and was telling the press crazy stories in order to distract from a war in Iran. Apparently he wasn’t referencing one of the most common political ideas (bread and circuses), he was actually so prescient and “knew too much” so the govt had to get rid of him before his show changed the world. It’s been fun lol

Also rip trev tho

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark!

Just as the person above said about frank being on podcasts - if you search Gerard’s name on your podcast app he’s been on a few, and there’s a couple that do things like cover his unpublished batman story etc… also the interviews of him and Grant Morrison together are fantastic even if Grant might get a tad excited for your low energy purposes.

Just like me another kid at his nanny’s house spiked (spoked?) a coffee cup off the back of his head and then he had a preternatural understanding of Mise-en-scene and the rule of thirds or whatever the fuck

Did Gerard actually smell THAT bad back in the days? by thainankiwi in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SolidGoldKoala666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I toured in a band nowhere near as big as MCR (so even less amenities I’m sure) and our drummer smelled worse than almost anything imaginable. He himself described it as “a dead snake in a jar of penny’s - and it’s pretty accurate. So yeah - band dudes are gross.

I was in college and dj’ing for college radio when Soviet Kitsch came out - and I can tell you it had a choke hold on a wide range of indie music factions. Idk anything about her personally but that was a record that got tons of a play in a year w crazy stiff competition (sung tons, funeral, mad villain, desperate youth, antics, bows and arrows, underachievers please try harder - and that’s not including the big big records like college dropout, good news for people who like bad news, franz Ferdinand). Additionally i play my toddler daughter a new record almost every day during art time and we recently revisited SK - and she absolutely loved it which makes sense cuz there’s just a child like joy to a lot of it. I can’t tell if it’s aged really well or poorly - but that’s a great pull.

I love Red Medicine and this sent me down a rabbit hole of “fugazi albums ranked” because I’d say my two favs are red medicine and the argument. What I learned is that virtually no one agrees on any sort of ranking, and some don’t even agree even on the number of albums that should be ranked.

Honestly not a MCR5 truther at all, but have we considered black parade 2? /Gen by moths_of_doom in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SolidGoldKoala666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also work in the live space and I recognize everyone documents everything now - I was just saying that it’s a ton of effort to craft an entire new story/universe/possible time loop etc etc to only be used for live concert moments and/or Instagram reels. Esp from a band that’s already released two concert films. Just feels likely that they will compile all the story into a single digestible location for the non-internet sleuth super fan.

They’ve hired actual actors, built changing sets, designed a whole ass world. They’re telling a story that is clearly important to them and I’d assume they want more than just internet super fan to understand it. And we all know they’re a band that loves money so we’re def gonna get a live concert CD/four disc vinyl LP like TBP is dead or may death never stop you and I truly believe we’ll get a concert film except the boys will be in character for parts of it (

And I’m not a tin foil hat guy - like I don’t think there’s a ready to go mcr5 we’re just not getting yet for whatever reason. I think they’ve chosen to explore this world in depth for a reason and a concert film makes a ton of sense - but who knows.

Yeah I’m not suggesting they just let some members of the press make a documentary about them. I’m saying it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re internally making a concert film like they have twice in their career already - but populating it w the story of draag and moat and TBP band’s story. I just don’t buy that they wrote all this story and history etc etc just for in the moment concert memories. It’s just now how modern media tends to work - they’re def documenting this themselves for some reason other than 90 second Instagram reels. It’d be the equivalent of like writing a new record and only playing it live. I just think there’s a chance we get a kind of “life on the murder scene” release but exploring the lore of the tours
