gonna try and collect my thoughts. so Gerard has been taking vocal lessons and ergo their voice is higher/softer on stage. they talked about this the first night back on tour, and opened that little tangent with “the illusions fucking dead anyway,” which you know. the illusion of what… having a masculine voice and/or persona? very same night they played bury me in black for the first (and second, in San Antonio) time in 15 years and changed the lyrics to “you wanna see what my insides look like? / I bet I’m not so pretty on the inside”. it’s more personal, it’s autobiographical and they’re telling the audience. some shit has changed (<- direct quote from that one EU show). maybe they buried their masculine celebrity stage persona who wore costumes and was calculated every step of the way, maybe that illusion is fucking dead because all they’re showing us now is pure authenticity: costume nights on a whim, setlist changes every night, the softest feminine voice and 20 minute tangents. i don’t know, some shit has changed. i wouldn’t put it past them to play drowning lessons in 2022 and if they do remind me to come back to this post because the curse is fucking broken. someone more coherent please add on.

Q&A at the 98.7 Penthouse - 1/21/11

4:18-5:13

Interviewer: What is your least favorite song to play live? Frank: (After short pause) I was gonna say it’s, uh, it’s “Drowning Lessons,” ‘cause we played it twice. Ray and Mikey: (Overlapping) Oh, yeah Frank: (Crowd talking) Wait, hold on. (Crowd laughs) We have a reason. We played it twice, only twice live. Interviewer: You don’t like it because Mike’s good at it? Frank: (Pauses and then laughs) Uh, it just -- there was a -- there was a curse on that song. It’s like, it’s a haunted song, so it’s like no matter- Mikey: (Interrupts) Anytime we played it something bad happened. So we can’t play it. Ray: I don't know if we ever even finished the song. Frank: (Mikey and crowd overlapping) No, we haven’t. Gerard: Not properly Interviewer: It's not that you go back to your hotel room and there’s a dead bat under your sheets. (Band and crowd laughs) It’s like, you play the song and an old lady drops of a heart attack in the first row. Mikey: Something happened every time. Frank: (Overlapping) Something happened. Gerard: (Overlapping) Yeah no, I think something happened. Mikey: So we, we made a solemn oath to never play it. Interviewer: Alright, who wants them to play it right now? (Crowd cheers and band laughs) Frank: We are on a haunted house Ray: (Overlapping) Who’s ready to die then, yeah? Frank: Everyone just falls to the floor.
