I’ve wanted to transcribe this moment at 3:55 for MONTHS because Ray basically says that MCR was fated which, as the least prone to metaphor or grandiosity, has always really hit me that they all felt completely, 100 percent put on this earth to be making music together, anyway:

[Interviewer]: What are the first rehearsals like? Does anyone remember them?

[Gerard]: Um, I remember them really vividly. Yeah, there was like, it was me and Otter at first and we’d gotten together and we’d rented rooms ‘cause that’s all you could do. So we’d get money together and I’d play guitar and I would sing and he would play the drums. And that’s all it was– it was just us. And then I remember tha-that the stuff I was trying to sing was so complicated that I couldn’t– ‘cause I’m not a good guitar player so I couldn’t do it, y’know. I realized then that I wanted something more than three cord punk where someone was just singing over it, I didn’t want that sound.

So I, y’know, I remember seeing Ray in a band that played locally called The Rodneys and I remember feeling like when I saw him play I felt like “Wow, this is like the best guitar player I’ve ever seen,” so I called him up and he was doing something totally different with his life at the time. You were playing drums, right?

[Ray]: Yeah. I was playing drums in just a, like a local band with some friends (George Collazo’s band Dead Go West). Um, yeah and, you know, he’d given me a call– I was, you know we’d met I think through a friend of ours, mutual friend Shawn Dillon, that he’d gone to art school with and I knew Mikey. And, yeah, he just gave me the call and you know said that they were working on some, some, a new band, some songs and would you wanna come over and y’know just hang out and play really. And that was it. 

[Gerard]: And I remember I’d had like a good feeling about it, I had this weird feeling– I think I even said that, I remember even saying that on a phone to him “I think I have a good feeling about this”

[Ray]: I definitely remember you–

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

[Ray]: He was right, obviously right. If ever Gerard says he’s got a good feeling, go with it. No, I definitely remember and I think that’s something for all of us, like it definitely felt like we were fulfilling some kind of destiny or like, y’know, doing what we were really meant to do.

[Frank]: When you picked up the guitar for the first time, did like air, like wind flow [gestures around his head] and like it lit up?

[Ray]: It was a light from the heavens, c’mon. 

[Gerard]: It felt like that when we played our first, almost full band– this was before Frank was in the band– we played our first actual rehearsal with Mikey playing bass, it kinda felt like that.

[Ray]: Yeah. It felt really special. And you know, we had all played, um. We had all played, uh y’know Gerard, Gerard and Mikey had played in bands together and I’d played but it uh, it didn’t feel– it never felt like that. There was something really special about just the music and his voice combined with everything and you knew you were–

[Mikey]: It was full of magic.

[Ray]: Yeah, you knew you were a part of something different  

[Frank]: But then, a couple mouths later it felt real special!

[Ray]: It got even better.

CHORUS OF AGREEMENT/LAUGHTER

[Ray]: It really felt complete.

guitarists in mcr are always referring to things as fate or destiny when it comes to the ephemeral premonitions which skate over the subconscious after the act of coming together and feeling the sparks of possibility underlying the collision of your very presences. or whatever 🙄

Many Ghazzawis on Twitter are now reporting that the markets in Gaza are filled with lots of food again, even food that hasn’t been available in months, alhamdulilah. Political pressure works! Now it’s up to us to keep donating to fundraisers so they’re able to afford food. If you see a stagnant fundraiser, even $5 can help a lot. If you can’t donate, share it and engage with it as much as you can.
