Which Gee would that be liefie> :kink:

Well the guys haven't really had a break since like 2004 - not a long one anyway!

And there's such a thing as overkill - I wouldn't want them to burn out and make something that is only half as good as what they can produe when they're on top form.

The band Say Anything release their latest album on October 23rd [in the states].

The record features tonnes of appearances by the biggest stars in the rock/emo world right now including our very own Gerard Way who lends his vocals to the title track.

 

Only certain tracks from the record have been posted on the group's Myspace so far [sadly the Gerard one has not] but with the album's release date a fortnight away hopefully we can get our hands on it soon!

 

So even if MCR are out of the pivture til 2009 we can fall back on a new song with Gerard's voice on :wub:

 

Here's the whole list of guests on the record:

 

# Pete Yorn - vocals on "Skinny, Mean Man"

# Anna Waronker (of That Dog.) - vocals on "No Soul"

# DJ Swamp - Turntables on "No Soul"

# Adam Lazzara (of Taking Back Sunday) - vocals on "Surgicallly Removing the Tracking Device"

# Fred Mascherino (formerly of Taking Back Sunday) - vocals on "Surgicallly Removing the Tracking Device"

# Anthony Raneri (of Bayside) - vocals on "This is f***ing Ecstasy"

# Hayley Williams (of Paramore) - vocals on "The Church Channel"

# Caithlin De Marrais (of Rainer Maria) - vocals on "Shiksa (Girlfriend)"

# Chris Carrabba (of Dashboard Confessional) - vocals on "Retarded In Love"

# Michael Auerbach - vocals on "Retarded In Love"

# “Spacey” Casey Prestwood (of Hot Rod Circuit) - Pedal Steel on "Retarded In Love"

# Trever Keith (of Face To Face) - vocals on "People Like You Are Why People Like Me Exist"

# Chris Conley (of Saves The Day) - vocals on "Sorry, Dudes. My Bad."

# Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance) - vocals on "In Defense of the Genre"

# Joshua Sultan - vocals on "The Truth Is, You Should Lie With Me"

# Matt Skiba (of Alkaline Trio) - vocals on "About Falling"

# Laura Kirsch - vocals on "About Falling"

# Jordan Pundik (of New Found Glory) - vocals on "You’re The w*n**r, If Anyone Is"

# Chad Gilbert (of New Found Glory) - vocals on "You’re The w*n**r, If Anyone Is"

# Aaron Gillespie (of Underoath and The Almost) - vocals on "You’re The w*n**r, If Anyone Is"

# Andy Jackson (of Hot Rod Circuit) - vocals on "We Killed It"

# Anthony Green (of Circa Survive) - vocals on "Hangover Song"

# Kenny Vassoli (of The Starting Line) - vocals on "Plea"

# Hayley Williams (of Paramore) - vocals on "Plea"

I guess we all saw this coming, but in a recent interview with a Detroit newspaper, Gerard said he can't imagine there being a new My Chemical Romance album until "I would say about 2009." Like the sudden supposed wedding news wasn't enough of a bummer?

 

Gerard added that the hiatus was a way for the band to "to really evaluate what the band is, to reshape it yet again. When asked about the subject of death and how it played into the theme of The Black Parade, as well as the band's earlier efforts, Gerard said he might be done with that subject, hoping when the band comes back, it will be with "completely fresh ears."

 

The reevaluation/time off is all about what the band stands for and means to him. He added, "You make a record if you have something to say. And I think I have at least one more great thing to say." And that's an awfully loaded statement that probably isn't the best of news for the band's fans. It almost sounds like the far-off, "maybe 2009" album, could be their last.

 

Then again, this is Gerard who was being interviewed, so for all we know, they could have a new album on shelves next week that he forgot to mention. As is almost always the case with My Chemical Romance, you only really know what Gerard wants you to know at that moment, and he's often full of random surprises and his life tends to be rather dictated by his moods and/or whimsy.

 

In the meantime, fans can look forward to the first issue of Gerard's comic, "The Umbrella Academy," as the first issue is in comic stores now. The preview, which was part of "free comic book day" last May, was quite promising, and gave everyone a taste, and next week, we'll finally have a chance to see how the miniseries plays out.

Ha Gerard is so crazy. One minute he says one thing the next he ges and does something absolutely different. Reminds me so much of myself :wub: :lol:

 

But I was thinking a 2009 album would make sense tbh - but I really hope it isn't their last. :(

I don't want to have to wait so long only to know we will never have anymore MCR stuff again :o If that happens Gerard should go solo ha.

 

Opinions?

Nelly Furtado I can imagine :o

Nelly has the ability to do many genres though.

Oh yes that vile creature Manson against my Gerard.

Bring it on you freak - just look at him. :smoke:

Looks like he had his face mauled by a cat and spat back out again.

Thank you my dear :o

 

I couldn't have done it without you though. :teresa:

 

How is everyone?

I wonder if Leona will get pushed back a week. Her video still isn't out and with a 2 week gap until the album, I think it's possible the label might do this now.

 

Obv not to October 29th as Westlife are out that week :smoke:

I really think people are overestimating Britney.

I think she'll be #1 next week on downloads alone but she wn't hold up if the physical isn't out til November. I suspect Leona and Take That will outsell her.

 

 

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

 

X Factor Winner's first proper release since winning the show. Performing on the show the weekend before the single's release... Shayne did about 60k of his second single 'No Promises' last year but that was released much nearer to the show's finale...

 

 

Take That - Rule The World

 

New single from Take That who have sold close to 2 million copies of their comeback album. Two #1 hits from that and also the song is in the latest blockbuster film 'Stardust'

 

 

McFly - The Heart Never Lies

 

8 #1 singles already and the lead single from their Greatest Hits album. Definately going to sell over 40k in its first week but will it be enough to top the chart alongside all their usual schemes?

 

 

Britney Spears - Gimme More

 

She's always in the papers and people think this will be MASSIVE.

 

 

Or maybe it will be Freemasons or Backstreet Boys :rofl:

That is gonna be one hell of a great week!

#30 Amy MacDonald - L.A.

#15 Elvis Presley – Wear My Ring Around Your Neck

#03 Mark Ronson ft Amy Winehouse – Valerie

#06 Mika – Happy Ending

#67 Nine Black Alps – Bitter End

#22 Orson – Ain’t No Party

#45 Richard Hawley - Serious

#17 Wombats – Lets Dance To Joy Division

(Downloads only)

#01 Britney Spears – Gimme More

#12 Feist – 1234

#14 Freemasons – Uninvited

#31 Kanye West ft T Pain – Good Life

#21 Timbaland/One Republic - Apologize

(Others)

#05 Hoosiers – Goodbye Mr A

 

Bonus #1: Will Scouting For Girls – She’s So Lovely still be in the Top10? No

Bonus #2: Will James Blunt - 1973 still be in the Top20? No

Bonus #3: Will Rihanna - Umbrella still be in the Top40? Yes

I blame all my hard work in the MCR forum for the rise.

Yeh maybe if they actually did something other than a cover for once I would find them more credible.

 

I seriously cannot stand them.

 

 

I was not sure on first listen but after seeing the video 4 times in the space of ten minutes on TV - I now LOVE it. Yeh it's Goldfrapp basically but it's frickin brilliant and will easily be #1 methinks specially now Britney's out earlier.

I like this!

However looking from the public's point of view it's a bit dull compared to some of their better tracks so I reckon #8.

Is GM getting a physical release still?

I like it ^_^

So 2nd November we will hear it :o

 

I think with the fact downloads will be held back until it's day of release

The fact it is by the Spice Girls - a HUGE comeback

And that it's for CIN

 

It will sell buckets :o I meant that Comic Relief $h!t did like 125k or something. I bet the Spices can do LOADS more.

Oh good!

 

Did the guy pay for a license?

Thanks everyone for commenting!

I will return the favour later. :o

I'm Not Okay (I Promise) 78+

Has to be Christina :o

No contest.

Hmm I dislike the 4th release from every album bar One Touch :lol:

But I will go with AWDF as it has some of my favourite Suga songs.

Siobhan should have had all 4 of her singles go top 10 imo!

I really don't like Follow Me Home - why they released that and not Ace Reject is beyond me.
