This was one of my favorite songs as a kid. When CDs first came out, I'd tag along with my dad and my oldest sister to Wherehouse music as they bought a different Beatles CD on every visit and eventually built the collection. I would listen to the White album and Abbey Road the most. This song made me feel so weird and emotional. Like it still does now.
Man, honestly, MCR just never lets me down! Since day one, I was always inspired by Gerard's creativity, Frank's energy, Ray's shredding, Mikey's charisma. But Gerard is definitely a muse to me. I LOVE this freaking video so much: the colors, costumes, shots, editing, everything. Perfection. It gets me really pumped and excited and inspires me so much as an artist/person. Love the song, too! I'm sure there's a lot of haters as there are fans out there, but I don't care what the public thinks. I've been a fan since Bullets and the direction they're going is always just right on cue.
Oh, and what I love most about them is that their videos and concepts are never gory. It gets really dark most of the time, but it's such a beautiful darkness. Never any stupid violent gory stuff like you see in other music videos that think they are pushing the envelope or what the heck it is.
Something about this song and their sound is really inspiring and energetic. It's igniting something inside me. Which is awesome. Haven't been excited about a new band in a very long time. When I heard this song on NME radio, I instantly got addicted. And then I saw this video.......
Sooo busy lately.
*Update: Here's a LIVE video from their recent show in London. F*ck, I love guys in white tee shirts and their badass poker faces.
I, I can't feel, can't feel a damn thing and baby doll, I ain't trying to blame you but you never understand what I'm trying to say oh why'd I joke for, fine, I blame you
Style icons. Perfectly rock and roll. Not just their fashion, but their music, their look, the way they move, the way they play. They are way at the top of my list of the fucking cool. On another level. I expect nothing but the best. I can never get enough. I will never settle.
