Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) veröffentlicht schon wieder zwei Solo-Songs

Zum ersten Song „PS Earth“ sagte Gerard Way:

„This one was recorded at the tail end of the Hesitant Alien demo sessions, just Doug and I. I liked it well enough at the time, felt kind of ’90s, didn’t end up putting any vocals on it though. I like the bridge a lot. Looking back at the whole thing, I like it, but not sure if I’m going to finish it. Guitar, bass by me. Programmed drums by Doug.“

Anhören könnt ihr euch den Track nachfolgend.

Auch zu „Crate Amp_01“ hatte der My Chemical Romance-Frontmann ein paar Worte parat. Lesen könnt ihr diese über den anbei eingebetteten Instagram-Post.

Hey all, here are a couple more unreleased demos. Link in bio and description below. Hope that you are doing well. ⠀ ⠀
 PS Earth This one was recorded at the tail end of the Hesitant Alien demo sessions, just Doug and I. I liked it well enough at the time, felt kind of 90’s, didn’t end up putting any vocals on it though. I like the bridge a lot. Looking back at the whole thing, I like it, but not sure if I’m going to finish it. Guitar, bass by me. Programmed drums by Doug. Crate Amp_01 This is the start of the Crate amp jam. Like I mentioned in the other post about the Crate amp jams, I wasn’t sure when Doug was in record-mode, because I was in the live room with the amp, so I just started playing. I feel like doing more of these Crate amp jams. I think we can get it to sound even more messed up. At one point, I think in a later track, Doug tried to do this thing where he put a glass bottle over one of the mics, to make it sound more messed up and kind of underwater. Oh and when I bought this amp, I also bought an old Peavy, which is another kind of amp that is cheap and you saw a lot of metal bands using in the 80’s. That one sounds pretty messed up too, and I think it also has built in distortion. The amps sound pretty different from each other though. I can’t remember which guitar I was playing for certain, but I am pretty sure it was the BC Rich Mockingbird Lindsey got me for Christmas, which I love. BC Rich is another one of these companies gear heads get snobby about, and the 80’s saw a lot of metal bands, all kinds of metal bands, use them. Thrash, hair metal, just all kinds of metal. The Warlock was everywhere. Years ago I heard about this successful musician buying up a ton of a certain kind of guitar, to corner the market on them, so I thought I would do what he was doing, but in the complete opposite direction, and buy up a ton of guitars no one really wanted and that wouldn’t really increase in value. Just to be a clown. I ended up not doing that, as that would have been a gross misuse of funds simply to make a joke, but I did eventually get one. I like the shape a lot. It sounds metal af.

Hört hier und jetzt auch in den zweiten Solo-Track rein.

Wann wir mit neuer Musik von My Chemical Romance rechnen dürfen, ist nicht bekannt.

Die Band meldete sich vergangenes Jahr mit ihrem Live-Comeback zurück.

Eigentlich sollten sie auch hierzulande für zwei Headliner-Shows beim KUNST!RASEN Festival in Bonn zu sehen sein.

Dass die Konzerte stattfinden, ist angesichts der Anti-Corona-Maßnahmen recht unwahrscheinlich; abgesagt wurden sie offiziell aber noch nicht.
