Danger Days - a first look

Nov 22, 2010 19:00

When I placed the special order for Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys at my record store, the owner said that orders had been slow lately and he probably wouldn't have it in until this Friday. "That's okay," I said, shedding a secret tear inside that I would be missing all the hullabaloo of release day, "I can handle it." And ( Read more... )

Actually, a few of the songs, like 4 of them, came from the original one, just reworked extensively ( ... )

And on the EP they did with the box set, they have Black Dragon Fighting Society on there.

And yes, I read Mrs D later. And I remember trying to go back and find the line about it being her gift, this bringing people together in class during a discussion where everyone was like, "She's just a shallow, vapid woman" and I was looking at them like, "Are you crazy?

This is a really interesting take on the tracks and now I want to listen to the MCR tracks next to the ones you mentioned.

when Gerard says "This ain't a room full of suicides / We're believers," I can't help but think he's speaking more literally. I would completely agree with you on this point especially given how hard MCR is pushing the idea that their fans are the strong ones and that MCR gets too much credit for saving people who saved themselves. Also, I would swear that Gerard gave an interview (possibly one of the solo ones? I'm having trouble keeping track of them at the moment) where he said something about that lyrics being something fans could sing back when they got asked about the MCR is an emo death cult issue ( ... )

Aw, thanks, I'm glad you find it interesting. I hear you about reading and listening side-by-side; I'm off to do the same thing (or, you know reading and watching) with your post about the video for Sing ( ... )
