A Message From Gerard
pHey guys,/p
pGerard here… I’m hanging out with Mikey in New Jersey, relaxing, drinkingbr /
coffee, talking comics, and getting ready to take a drive down southbr /
tomorrow. I don’t know what states I’m passing through but I know where I’mbr /
heading. Don’t worry, I’ve got a the Clockwork Orange audiobook, a Dr.br /
Pepper air-freshener, and a GPS so I don’t get lost. We figured by nowbr /
everyone that’s a fan of the band might be wondering what we’re up to, whatbr /
we’re planning, so I thought I’d write this letter and fill you all in./p
pWe’re living, decompressing- The Black Parade took over two years to tourbr /
and six months to make so that’s a lot of existing in a fictional world, andbr /
we’re just extremely happy to live in a real one for a while. One thing Ibr /
can let you know is that we’re excited. Genuinely more excited than we havebr /
ever been to be in this band, make some new music. And we have ALL beenbr /
writing new material in our own separate worlds… I started a week after Ibr /
got home, buying a good rig, an old Jag, and a bunch of pedals- justbr /
searching for the next sound./p
pBob is recovering well from his recent wrist surgery- exceedingly wellbr /
considering how risky the procedure can be. We’re all really happy that whenbr /
he picks up the sticks again he won’t be in the intense pain he was inbr /
during the last year of touring. It’s going to take him a while tobr /
rehabilitate but knowing him, he will most likely be playing the drumsbr /
before the doctor says it’s a good idea. He just loves playing, we all do.br /
Franks on the road with Leathermouth and Reggie and The Full Effect so youbr /
should go see them and get spit on. I know Leathermouth doesn’t have abr /
record out yet, but Frank gave it to me in Mexico and I can easily say it’sbr /
my favorite post-hardcore record of the year, so I know you will at leastbr /
enjoy the songs if you don’t know the words./p
pOne of the best parts of the last five months was getting to see Ray getbr /
married and all of us be a part
