Awesome song! Yeah, it was really heavily promoted when it came out on their site and all, from what I remember. I used to listen to it nonstop, it was just so mind-blowing to me to hear Gerard's voice on something that wasn't MCR back then, to me at least. This was when the first whisperings of him planning a solo career were beginning to brew, but no one expected MCR to just up and go for six and a half years. I remember around this time, he had released a demo on soundcloud, I believe, called 'Zero Zero' under the name 'DannyTheStreet'. (In retrospect, I grew to love hearing the original version alongside the final release on his 'Hesitant Alien' album. And to love the fact that when he began writing 'Doom Patrol', the 'DannyTheStreet' reference actually made sense to me. I love how that man's mind works.)
I remember even when they first broke up, people started these conspiracy theories about how they would come back in 2019 and that Danger Days was some sort of prophesy, how they would come back after they were no longer teenagers (skipping from their 13th birthday all the way to their 19th in 2019, since 'teenagers scare the living shit out of Gerard'), or how they wanted to have their career line up with Smashing Pumpkins', since Gerard had stated as such in an interview. So many theories, and I always believed them. And now here they are.
I remember I missed their last concert in San Diego back in 2012-ish, thinking I could save up and go to the next one, since I would be old enough to go alone. And skipping out on buying the complete bundle of vinyls for Conventional Weapons, thinking that I'll instead save my money for whenever MCR5 - the rumored 'Paper Kingdom' - came out and go all out for that one when I would be in college.
I was a senior, finishing high school on March 23, 2013. College came and went, and guess who came back just as I got my first programming job? I remember being at work and some of my high school friends - long lost to time - messaged me, one even called. "MCR is back!"
Now I have tickets to see them in October in Los Angeles, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Now MCR is actually on its way and it feels great. Even if COVID pushes the concert for me, it'll be okay, because I know I'll get to go someday regardless.
Forgive the ramblings of a madman, just so many memories are stored in MCR for me, and Professional Griefers sort of brings them out of me. 'All the broken things that are me'.
Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I'm 25 now, so I shouldn't even be so nostalgic, but god those were great times.
The music video is kind of awesome
