between-songs transcript (los angeles night 2)

this one was fun. yapatron 3000. under the cut 🙏

(after dead!) Gerard: Los Angeles, California, Madrid! We are pleased to announce that we, The Black Parade, are back in action. Fresh out the MOAT, courtesy of The Ministry of Complementary... reprogramming? Reconditioning. Reconditioning, I think that's what it was. Brought to you especially by our beloved His Grand Immortal Dictator, please. Please, give him a big United States welcomings. Such a handsome man, has never looked better. Blow him a kiss, perhaps. Mwah! One, two, three. We are backed here by the National Draag Auxiliary Band, thank you so much for coming out tonight. Shall we carry on? Let's. Brothers and sisters! Once more. Into the breach, my friends. Are you ready?!

(before wttbp to the clerk for bringing out the podium) Gerard: Thanks, buddy.

(before i don't love you) (dodger dogs & elexecution) Gerard: Good news, America! The Black Parade is the official spokesman of the world-famous Dodger Dogs! They loved what we did so much last night, that they asked if they could sponsor us, and we said O-KAY! One of our jobs is to pass out these dogs to everybody. Here you go! And here's a vegan one! And why aren't you guys throwin' 'em? Let's go! Now, our Grand Immortal Dictator had his first hot dog last night. But I don't think he had ketchup or mustard. I do not know this. And so, what do you think? Grand Immortal Dictator, I see tonight you've got a very large hot dog. I see some ketchup, I see some mustard. Okay. So. We're gonna vote on condiments tonight. Are you ready? Are you ready?! You got a sign, hold 'em up, when you came in you got a sign. We're looking for some, uh, see a lot of red, looking for some uh, individuals... that's beautiful. Some say that last night there was an execution. This will be kind of similar, right. The other side is black, it says nay. Yes. Okay. Well. We're gonna vote. Does The Grand Immortal Dictator get ketchup or mustard? Now, here's the catch. One of these condiments is gonna end the lives of these prisoners. Not now, my friend. Alright. Now. All those in favour, of ketchup on the hot dog, let me see the yea! That's a lot of ketchup. Now, keep your ketchup signs up. All those in favour of mustard... let me see the black and red side. Woo! Hmm... I think... mustard it is. Yeah... it's mustard. Can we hook our Grand Immortal Dictator up with some mustard, please? Now that that's sorted out, roll! Ready! Aim! FIRE! I prefer ketchup, just saying. To a gorgeous night! (in response to audience flashlights) Pink! Beautiful!

B STAGE

(before helena) Gerard: Make some noise for Clarice Jensen. Thank you so much, Clarice. It's beautiful. It's beautiful every day. Make some noise for the other members of the National Draag Auxiliary Band. It's very hard to say, the full name, it's very complicated; that's Kayleigh Goldsworthy, Tucker Rule, we're very lucky to have them. Please make some noise for Wallows. They were with us the last two nights. We're My Chemical Romance from New Jersey.

(before nanana) Gerard: Fuck yeah, thank you, LA. Alright, we're gonna have a good time the rest of this night. [laughs] We were having a good time before, that was a— a different kind of good time, right? I think so. That's a good time, this is a good time... we're all a good time! We got, uh, we got a bunch of songs for you tonight, I'd say there's a bunch. This is, um, oh yeah this is number two summer jam of all time, and, uh, arguably number one to some people, but I'd say it's number two. Are you fuckin' ready? Huh? Let's go, America!

(before the ghost of you) Gerard: Hell yeah. Thank you guys so much. So, um, Ray and I didn't actually plan this. Um, back in the day, we're both wearing this shirt—and it's also not to sell t-shirts but back in the day we'd wear our own shirts, like when we were really small, and we'd get a lot of shit for it; Frank reminded me of this story of when were were in Grog Shop or something? Frank: Grog Shop in Cleveland. Gerard: There were some guys making fun of me and he tried to fight 'em. I was wearing this shirt. But we—we used to do it 'cause, we went and, uh, Ray and Mikey and I went and saw Iron Maiden, one of our favourite bands, and one of the coolest parts of Iron Maiden, at least to us, we would look at 'em and we'd say: 'man, these guys are wearing their own fucking shirts. They're their own favourite band.' So, I guess we're our own favourite band. This used to be, uh—this used to be, um, a picture of James Dean, but we didn't wanna get sued so now it's Mikey Way. Handsome Mikey Way. Alright, we're gonna play something off Revenge. You might wanna light it up for this, I think it's that kinda song, we're, you know, we're gonna chill— (weird voice) chill out. We're gonna chill out.

(before im not okay) Gerard: Hell yeah! [laughs] Thank you so much. Um, we—we don't ever try to repeat the thing every day, I mean, sometimes, well over there we play the same songs every night, but over here we change it up. But, um, this is our first stadium tour, so we wanna thank you all very much for being here. It's kinda unbelieveable, thank you so much. It's very special to us, and, uh, there was a time where we didn't know if we were gonna ever do it again, and we decided to do it again, and we're very happy we did, so thank you. Oh, it's the number one summer jam of all time! That's what's happenin' now! Are you ready?!

(before cemetery drive) Gerard: Thank you so much. Got another Revenge song. Alright, let's do it. Are you gonna drink some coconut water? Yeah, man, just gotta stay hydrated. Just gotta stay fuckin' hydrated. Good news, water's free. Heh. Kinda. Alright, kinda. (weird voice) Gotta do it. It sounds good. Hands up!

(before foundations) Gerard: Thank you, guys. We're having a great time, thank you guys so much. So, uh, when we got back together, um, like, there was this, like, little moment—well, this was after the band, we got back together and then we sat home for two years, but, but, um, when we were finally like 'alright, let's go, let's do it, let's do it', um, like, there was a song that materialized out of that, and, um, I really wanna take the opportunity to—to thank two people, that's Jarrod Alexander, who's been with us so very long, we love you so much Jarrod. And Jamie fucking Muhoberac, thank you so much. They've played on a bunch of stuff, and Jarrod played on this one with us, um, the new one we played last night, uh, he played that one in the studio with us too, so, he's been a very patient fucking man. We love these guys. So. And this is, uh, this song's called 'Foundations of Decay'. This is the first time we've played it on this tour. I'd love to hear you sing it.

(before scarecrow) Gerard: Thank you Smashing Pumpkins. And thank you Smashing Pumpkins fans. This is one we haven't played yet. It's another, like, hand-up-and-down thing. I like 'em, I dunno. It's just the way God made 'em, y'know? Transmit. It's transmitting rockin' tunes, y'know? Well, we gotta ready, you might as well get 'em up ahead of time. 'Cause when the storm blows in, it's gonna knock the scarecrow right over.

(before prison) Gerard: Thank you LA, thank you so much. This is gonna go down on yer permanent record.

(before kids) Gerard: Thank you LA, Thank you so much. This is a fucking blast. Fuck, man. We're really lucky, thank you. Hell yeah. Alright, we got one more for you. It's kind of a sick (something) vibe. Super fucking awesome. It's called, uh, 'Kids From Yesterday'.

[accessiblebandomproject]

I will be posting transcribed audio clips from mcr tx

[accessiblebandomproject]

changing the blog pfp because i just found out that photosensitive kobra kid is a thing and i love it so bad

[accessiblebandomproject]

Some slides I made for instagram I decided to post here as well

[accessiblebandomproject]

welcome!

This blog is meant to advocate for better access in bandom, to deny accessibility to disabled fans is to deny access to a community of people who helped make bandom what it is. Disabled people deserve to enjoy things and have fun but we are regularly denied that. If I have to be annoying as fuck to get yall to be more accessible I will.

To prevent harassment on my personal blog only a select people will know who runs this. Inspired by: chaoticbuggybitchboy, p0is0n-is-th3-cur3, kerosene-saint, jetstar2828 and @accessiblebandomproject.

The War Beneath The Rain

Here is my edited version of the new song with flashing lights removed and captions added. Tumblr wouldn't let me put it in this post, for some reason.

The captions are partially my own work, and that of @dragonbreathingfiredragon and @rebel-rex (x x). The video is taken from here. There are no pyrotechnics or strobe lighting in the original video, the flashing comes from reflections off instruments and camera flashes.

I have a 1080p version if anyone wants it. This is 720p because that's the limit of what Tumblr would allow.

If there are any improvements I can make in the future, please let me know <3

We dont care at all

Bout the bad things that we did

Maybe me and you can just pretend

Summer days

The hurt but not the pain

Those were the last stars (?) nights

If we’re not afraid to see without our eyes

Then welcome to the dark

If we all learn to die could the rest of us forget

We’re not waiting for the end

We dont care about

 the good things that we’ve had

Maybe me and you can just be friends

Maybe we can just pretend x3

between-songs transcript (san francisco)

under the cut again. apologies for missing words hate the game not the player

(after dead!)

(exclaims) San Francisco! Transylvania! Bolivia! Nice to see you! We are The Black Parade, and America is so nice to be back in with you all, thank you so much. We came all the way from Draag, and, boy, is my liver tired. Let me hear you! There’s one person we must make noise for. The one who has brought us here, straight out of the MOAT, courtesy of The Ministry of Complementary Reconditioning: His Grand Immortal Dictator, please make some noise! Let’s see him! How’s he looking! I can’t see him, can you? He’s never looked better. What a handsome fella. And behind us, supporting us, The Draag National Auxiliary Band, please make some noise San Francsisco, Transylvania! Now! Shall we continue?

(before sharpest lives)

It’s time… it’s time… it’s time.

(before wttbp)

Ra, ra, ra, ra! I’m so important! I’m so important!

(after wttbp) (election i mean execution)

Hello! (laughs) Draagoshka, are you having trouble there? That feels strange. What making think you put it on the inside, huh? Oh. We can’t have this. So, I gotta apologise, I mixed up my words last week when we did this. I confused the word ‘execution’ with ‘election’. I messed that up completely. Let’s make it dark. The dark went out. So, yes. Made a mistake there. So, uh, yeah, it’s an execution, that’s actually what’s gonna happen. But, good news, San Francisco! You all get to vote on it. You decide! It’s up to you! It’s very dark. Okay, so, when you all, uh, came in, you got a sign? One side says yea! One side, says nay! But now we’re gonna decide the fate of these people. Now let me tell you their crimes first, you gotta hear this: they dared to question the longevity of our most beloved, and handsome, Grand Immortal Dictator. Can you believe that?! Such a handsome man should never have to deal with those things! Now, tonight, San Francisco, you only have to make one vote. You show me the yea, or you show me the nay. Are you ready? I’m gonna count to three. One! Two! Three! Everybody vote. I see an overwhelming ocean of red. I guess we’ll spare them after all. Okay, so, I guess we could just start taking them maybe off the stage…?

(phone starts ringing) (picks up) Hello? Yeah, you know, yeah, I- yeah, you know, stuff. Yeah, it’s next week, she’s gonna be 78. I mean, she likes the things any lady her age likes, she likes, um, hand creams and puzzles… yeah. Okay. Well, alright, well, I’ll see you then. Okay, goodbye. (hangs up)

Oh, boy. Roll. Ready! Aim! FIRE!

(cancer adread)

B stage

(before venom)

Please make some noise for Clarice Jensen, thank you Clarice. Also, please make some noise for our friends supporting us, The Auxiliary Band; Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and, Tucker Rule, from our friends in Thursday. Tucker… and make some noise for 100 Gecs, please. Really sick to be playing with them again. We’re My Chemical Romance from New Jersey. San Fran, should we go—continue? (cracking up) Should we go? I’m stuck in the other character. Alright, let’s fucking do it!

(before not ok)

Hell yeah! Fuck yeah! This song goes out to (someone)! (Gia?) A friend who’s out today! (something). Yeah!

(before summertime)

Yeah! Fuck yeah. How you guys doing? This is our first stadium tour, and we wanna thank you guys for coming. Right on. We’re really fucking appreciative you guys spent your night with us. So, um, fuck, it’s just amazing. Thank you. It’s fucking cool. It’s been a lot of hard work and a lot of fun, we wanna thank the crew and everyone that helped build this tour, so much. Um, I feel like we got, we got quite a few songs for you guys. Quite a few. But you may disagree. Quite a few, quite—but it feels like, you know, it’s robust. We’re playing a very special song for you now. I’d really love to see lights up in the air for this one, this is my absolute favourite to see lights for. You have red lights. This is great. All kinds of lights.

(before nanana)

Fuck yeah, thank you. Fuck yeah! I’ve been saying that to you guys a lot, sorry. So we haven’t really, uh—this is like cheesy rock show shit, I think—we haven’t, we haven’t really seen the crowd that much. You know? It’s like, usually really dark out there. So, I don’t know, what do you think? Could we just see them a little bit? A little bit tonight? You know, we’re—we’re professional showbiz people, but, it’s nice to see you. Look at you! Look at you. That’s really fucking amazing. Look at them. That’s fucking wild. Woohoo! Let’s keep this shit going! Killjoys! Make some noise!

(before deathwish)

Thank you! This’s off, uh, second record. Coming off hot. In a sec.

(before sing)

Fuck yeah! I’m gonna fucking (something). That thing amps me up. Man… think that was the first song we had written for Revenge, it was like, right after we finished Bullets. It was, like, floating around for a bit, just by itself. Gotta, fuckin’, we gotta put this on a record. Good news, America! We did! Delivered it to you. Oh, yeah, we’re gonna play something—I think we only played this once or twice on the, uh, reunion tour. Let’s do it. This song’s called…Sing.

(before bullet with butterfly wings)

Hell yeah. This is the first time we’re doing this next one. Um, it’s not our song, but it’s a song, um, man, there’s so many stories about this band. Not this band, the band whose song this is, but, uh, I had a religious experience with this song during the pandemic, and, uh, that’s um—I think that’s all I need to say about it at this point, right? Um, but, uh, we’re gonna maybe play it a few times on this tour, but, it’s really, really special to me and Mikey, and it’s really meaningful, and, uh, fuck it, let’s do it.

(before boy division)

Haha! Thanks so much, San Fran! That was a lot of fun! That went really well, I think! It’s—g—you get nervous playing other people’s songs, you know? Guh. Yeah, man, that’s a fucking ripper. Who doesn’t know that shit? Who doesn’t know *that* shit? So, we made, uh, we made a record that got scrapped, anyway, there were some really cool songs on it. It was really good, right, Frank? And, um, this is one of those songs, it’s a fucking banger, off Conventional Weapons. It’s called, uh, Boy Division.

(before helena)

(laughs) Fuck yes! (screams) The juice of life! Blood! (laughs)(gravelly voice) The juice…of life… is blood… drink it. (normal voice) We got a couple more left for you, thank you so much. We call this the red circle. *I* call this the red circle. I don’t give a—ooh, what do we call this? It’s just me. But in LA, we practice on this thing as well. I was, I would say, oh, let’s go in the red room. It was nice to have a red room. Felt really violent. it was really nice, and, it also reminds me of the lightsaber duel in Cloud City. ‘Sreal cool. But more than that! More than that, stuff is violent. And that’s cool. Alright, we’re g—(breaks out laughing) Let’s just do this!

(before kids)

This is a really special night, fuck yeah, you guys! Thank you! Think they’re all gonna be special, you know? They’re all g—they’re all gonna be real different, though. Cuz that’s cool. Yeah. (laughs) How you guys doing? It’s a beautiful night. The weather is um, really amazing here, I know that’s that’s, like, um, you know, bullshit? To talk about? But, like, you know, LA’s real hot. So like, it’s real nice here. It’s like the— I asked, uh, our tour manager, I was like, ‘are we near the ocean?’ And he was like, yeah. The whole coast is next to the ocean, man. Thanks for spending the night with us. We’re My Chemical Romance. This is our last song for you. Lights! Cuz it looks pretty!

[accessiblebandomproject]
