My Chemical Freak: My Chemical Romance All The Time

Just a quick mention that both celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, and former WWE star, Chris Jericho, noted that Mikey and Ray were in attendance at last night’s WWE Raw show in Anaheim, CA.  They appeared to be in attendance with legendary record producer, Rick Rubin.

The widely spread rumors are true. haha.  We weren’t going to post it until MCR confirmed it.  And they have officially confirmed that the new video “Kids From Yesterday” is indeed an official video.

To read more about the video visit Frank’s blog here… you can also watch the video there.

This is from former My Chemical Romance drummer, Bob Bryar’s,  experience and eye witness account of the incident.

 ”My dog dixie was killed by a well known trainer a few years ago, coincidentally by a man named Dan. Her loss completely ruined my life. It’s a very long story that really strengthened my views on animal cruelty and proper care for them. I exposed that guy for what he is (an animal abuser) and he is now out of business forever. 

Today I have a first hand eyewitness account of a man named Dan Morgan, a dog trainer that operates a business in Chicago (Franklin Park) under the name CANINE WAKE UP (caninewakeup.com), abusing a dog under his care at an adoption event. When the dog that he was responsible for training peed on the floor, Dan Morgan repeatedly kicked the dog in the stomach, lifted the dog off the ground by his PRONG collar choking him, and called him an asshole before dropping him to the ground. Many people witnessed it and have been trying to do something to help but haven’t gotten far enough. I decided to try and call him and talk to him about it and of course he didn’t answer. I left him a message asking about his rates to train dogs and could not help asking if the choking and name calling were an extra charge.”

This is ONLY an excerpt of the original post from Bob Bryar that can be found HERE on his Twitlonger account.  I URGE you to go read this and spread the word about this trainer.  HELP BOB HELP THE ANIMALS!

“Around the same time, in 2006, a writer and music-industry gadabout named Sarah Lewitinn– more recognizably branded as Ultragrrrl– posted a blog entry making a claim that shouldn’t, in and of itself, have been all that provocative. My Chemical Romance, she suggested, was “this generation’s Nirvana”– the transformative favorite that meant something to millions.”

As we all know James Dewees is the beloved keyboard player for My Chemical Romance.  After a stint in his own band Reggie and the Full Effect and other ventures, he turned over his mic and turned to his keyboard to bring a whole new element to MCR’s already massive successful list of music.

PunkNews.org sat down with Dewees and got an in-depth interview with one we know so little about.  Or at least that is the case for me.

“ So how did this all start? Forced piano lessons when you were a kid?

I actually wanted to take piano because my older brother took lessons; I think I was 7 when I started. I decided to play drums at 11 in the Lewis and Clark elementary school band. I carried a concert snare drum back and forth for a year, and drove my parents nuts. “
