LONG LIVE THE BLACK PARADE
I HAVE DECIDED TO PUT UP THE STORY OF GERNARD WAY ON HERE HIS STORY OF THE MAKING OF THE BLACK PARADE



after the holidays had passed and a few phone call conversations were exchanged,we met up at SIR studios in new york city to start sifting through the matieral for hte next album.we missed each other a great deal and we exchanged stories and hugs. it was if a group of survivors had met up for the drinks,joking about that time they almost didnt make it.
we worked all day, everyday.we would commute home only to start again the next day.and it was severly cold this winter in NYC.i remmber one time steping in a puddleof slush so deep and so cold i almos collapsed from shock.
we had about forteen songs at this point if i remember correctly.some of which were un sure of,others we had a very good feeling about.we focused on what we had a good feeling aboutbecasue we felt something speacial was underneath all the rubbleif we just dug for it. another thing to mention is that we dont "jam". i remember we tried once while writing songs for BULLETS and it just ended up being a mess.there was always a plan, always a battle plan.
some days were harder than others...sometimes we would just smoke a ton of cigerettes nad just stare and each other, sometimes we would hit on something and magic would happen.
one of those moments was a song called "MAMA"
i remember we played an arenain chicago and this line "mama we'll all go to hell" just hit me along with a melody.ray and i worked out a small guitar part to go along with the melody and we tried it right away at sound check.i thnk we all knew as soon as we played it that it was some kind ofof new direction for us,one that was more theatrical than anything we had done... to us it was even more " cabaret" than ' you know what they do to guys like us in prisojn"
IT WAS PURE. IT WAS RAW.IT WAS UNASHAMED

ill stop right there ill put up the rest tommorow or sunday
i hope you guys like it so far it gets even better
ill talk to you guys later
