My Chemical Romance fue parte de todo un movimiento cultural denominado como “emo” durante toda la década de los 2000. Mucha gente alrededor del mundo se identificó con su música, su manera de vestir y su ideología, marcando alguna parte de su vida.

Su frontman y vocalista Gerard Way, ha compartido dos demos, con el encierro caen como anillo al dedo, “PS Earth” y “Create Amp_01” son las dos maquetas que liberó el estadounidense a través de SoundCloud. Ambas pistas fueron trabajadas durante la grabación de su primer álbum como solista “Hesitant Alien” en el lejano 2014. Por lo que podrían representar el adelanto del lado b de aquel disco debut.

PS Earth fue grabada en el final de las sesiones demo de Hesitant Alien. Me gustó lo suficiente en ese momento, me sentí como en los 90’s…

Hey all, here are a couple more unreleased demos. Link in bio and description below. Hope that you are doing well. ⠀ ⠀
 PS Earth This one was recorded at the tail end of the Hesitant Alien demo sessions, just Doug and I. I liked it well enough at the time, felt kind of 90’s, didn’t end up putting any vocals on it though. I like the bridge a lot. Looking back at the whole thing, I like it, but not sure if I’m going to finish it. Guitar, bass by me. Programmed drums by Doug. Crate Amp_01 This is the start of the Crate amp jam. Like I mentioned in the other post about the Crate amp jams, I wasn’t sure when Doug was in record-mode, because I was in the live room with the amp, so I just started playing. I feel like doing more of these Crate amp jams. I think we can get it to sound even more messed up. At one point, I think in a later track, Doug tried to do this thing where he put a glass bottle over one of the mics, to make it sound more messed up and kind of underwater. Oh and when I bought this amp, I also bought an old Peavy, which is another kind of amp that is cheap and you saw a lot of metal bands using in the 80’s. That one sounds pretty messed up too, and I think it also has built in distortion. The amps sound pretty different from each other though. I can’t remember which guitar I was playing for certain, but I am pretty sure it was the BC Rich Mockingbird Lindsey got me for Christmas, which I love. BC Rich is another one of these companies gear heads get snobby about, and the 80’s saw a lot of metal bands, all kinds of metal bands, use them. Thrash, hair metal, just all kinds of metal. The Warlock was everywhere. Years ago I heard about this successful musician buying up a ton of a certain kind of guitar, to corner the market on them, so I thought I would do what he was doing, but in the complete opposite direction, and buy up a ton of guitars no one really wanted and that wouldn’t really increase in value. Just to be a clown. I ended up not doing that, as that would have been a gross misuse of funds simply to make a joke, but I did eventually get one. I like the shape a lot. It sounds metal af.

Los dos demos se unen al EP compartido por Way a inicios de este mes. Distraction or Disrepair son cuatro rolitas que tenía guardadas y había estado trabajando durante los años. Liberando este material como un regalo por las condiciones que se están presentando en el mundo.
