What the hell???? My Chemical Romance’s next single is going to be ‘The Ghost Of You’! It’s fucking terrible and easily the worst song they’ve ever done. Look at all the other possible singles from the second album - the visceral ‘Thank You For The Venom’, the irresistible, camp genius of ‘You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison’, the

Are you ever awake at 7am weekdays? There's a music video show on Channel 4 mostly showing pop shits like Rachel Stevens and U2, so imagine my surprise when I saw our very own Mr Matranga's face on it. A Gratitude video. For Drive Away, I think the song is called. And I'm bad with facts sometimes, but I think that single has been released, with a b-side called...Sadie! Sadly not a Trio cover (imagine Jonah was a fan!). But anyway, this video, him and the Gratitude boys are rockin' out atop a cliff I believe, then cut to shots of Jonah doing what I can only describe as pestering passangers on a public bus, bless him. Not a bad video, from what I saw/remember (twas very early after all) but nothing inspirational.

Then the new Papa Roach video came on, which I had never seen before, but I'll share as I thought it was pretty hilariously bad. Coby's having a house party, there's this girl, she seems to be a borderline alcoholic and Coby ain't best pleased with this. He pours all the booze away, and when the girl sees this she storms off. As she picks up her jacket she knocks over a candle. Now, what bloody idiot would have candles at a youth house party? That's asking for trouble. The candle landed in what looked like a freshly spilled drink, and of course, a firey inferno ensued. Cut to the next day, Coby and the rest of that loveable Roach gang are picking through the remains of what was Coby's home before that booze hound got her mits on it. She comes along, looking slightly apologetic, Coby turns to look at her. Now think for a minute if you were in Mr Dick's position. Some floozy just burned down your house. It wasn't a bad house, no Buckingham Palace, but it was where all your stuff was. I'm not asking you to imagine what you would do to this girl - shout at her, punch her right in the baby maker, make her pay for the damage, make her extinguish any glowing embers that remain with her tongue (not for any reason, just because you're a sadistic fuck and are in a rock band so can do what you like to the "little people"). These are all possibilites, but I'm not asking for that. Just picture how your face would appear. Furious? Tear stained? Manic? Murderous? All acceptable looks for this kind of incident. Now Coby didn't go for any of these. He settled on a mildly disgruntled, ever so slightly disappointed expression. My conclusion? House fires, they might not be as bad as everyone makes out.

20th June - yay!

Wow haha. Quite a reply!

But yeah, I have seen the shockingly bad Papa Roach video. It certainly brings the cheese in heavy doses, although, I don't remember the girl burning down the house... I'll have to check next time then. With the mute button on of course, due to the song's overwhelming shiteness.

Not seen the Gratitude video, but... Jonah rocking out on a cliff??? Sounds iffy, I mean not even Slash from Guns & Roses can make that look cool. But i'm sure the song is superb. But wow, imagine Jonah did cover Sadie???? MY GOD. That would be the greatest thing ever. EVER.

20th June!
