If you're a nonsense Frank Iero fangirl, don't read this entry.
And I really meant it.
Frank posted a blog on Leathermouth's MySpace, talking about the whole internet speculation over the Leathermouth's tour and line-up. Okay, good to know that he's seeing what was happening on S//C boards - nothing wrong, just us asking questions about the line-up and expressing our thoughts about the situation - and he had the answers.
That's my cue to bitch over something first: the comments on his post.
Seriously, if you don't know what to say, a simple 'thank you' is valid. Comments like "You are the best", "I <3 you" and "Come to *insert country*" - and the three lines making it A comment - are so annoying. Have you ever thought about it, about how embarrassing it is for the ones who really care about Leathermouth's music and not because Frank Iero is there? Or, better, for themselves?
God, it annoys me and I feel embarrassed sometimes - not because of liking the band, but because of the fans -, you know when you get embarrassed because what other people do and they're not ashamed or they're just clueless? That's it.
Comments with big letters pleading and annoying about Lancaster's cancelled show - the one that Frank explained that they had a conflict on their schedule and won't be able to play (go and see RATFE. They're amazing) - won't make them reschedule this concert. God, you're being annoying. You're being disrespectful, ignoring what the guy explained to you and worst, making all the fans look like fucking fangirls.
I swear that I'm holding myself to don't start a thing over their myspace. And it's an epic effort, since I'm pretty wasted.
I'm not better than anyone, I admit that I have my fangirl moments, yes. But while I'm talking to my friends, these moments aren't publics or exposed all over the internet.
Things cleared on this subject, let's move to the other: Leathermouth's album won't be released by Skeleton Crew Records. Why?
Frank doesn't want self-promotion.
Okay, bite me now, bite me later, but, after almost.... 3 years? I mean, why now? I totally understand that he's faithful to his principles (and it amazes me more, seriously. No one today has these values anymore, no one cares about them at all), but after all this time? It's only because you're part of the band, Frank?
For real, I don't get it. If you didn't want self-promotion, why "Fifth Period Massacre" was being played before MCR shows? Not once, not twice. A lot of times, right before "Nervous Breakdown". Okay, maybe a stupid example.
A band needs to be promoted, independent if they're an unknown band or if the label's CEO is screaming on it. It is not self promotion. You never went to the media and said "Hi, I own S//C and I'm on a S//C band". At the same time that you're attached to your principles, you're forgetting about just one thing: what people think or say, shouldn't affect you. Not at all, Frank.
You should affect them.
We've been promoting Leathermouth under Skeleton Crew's Street Teams, we know that it won't be a problem at all, but... it really upsets me. Don't ask me why, perhaps it's just the music I'm listening, the mood I'm in or the alcohol I drank, but I felt sad when I readed it. I believe that he hadn't this idea when he joined L//M, but if it's been going for a while (which I believe, judging by the postponed dates of their album's release), he is kinda late with it. But, who am I to say something, afterall? A drunk woman, listening to Alice Cooper non-stop(ly), a member of Skeleton Crew Forum, a fangirl hater....
It's his label, after all. His call.
But yes, I'm... disappointed.
I really want Frank to stop being fucking polite and say something about this fangirl reaction, about how much he doesn't want to be related to MCR - at least, not now. He's not spitting on the band's name and he has so much to show and it is NOT related to MCR - or whatever he wants to say.
No sense at all, I know.
On a lighter note, I'm cracking with the songs' names. Oh fuck.
And, Alice Cooper. Oh, Master, we're not worthy.
Just to finish: I really need a fucking circle pit to let go of my feelings. Anyone has suggestions of shows I should watch or some songs that I should be listening to let go of it? XD
Gaaack, I will find a punk concert today.
