So guys, introduce yourselves! And open up those cans of c__e...

Mikey: Hi, I'm Mikey

Ray: Hey, I'm Ray

Matt: 'Sup, I'm Otter

Frank: *laughing in the background* I'm Frank

Ray: Wait, wait, wait, he's actually Poupon.

Mario: Are you Gray Poupon, or just Poupon?

Matt: Uh, no, just *french accent* Poupon

Mario: *laughs* Oh, you're Don Poupon I see... so uhm... we're here, chilling with My Chemical Romance so if anyone has any questions, or anything to say to them, you can give us a call here at 973761 at WSOU. Now they wanna hear some feedback, they've been gone for a while, so let's start talking about that. That's the first record, just dropped in, just played that.. so what has changed in your lives, I know that you've gone from a local band to a national band?

Gerard: Well that was really hard at first, 'cause we weren't really used to it.. we played like a lot of halls and stuff. well it wasn't that many really... but it was a really fast learning experience, 'cause we had to go from like playing halls to like.. fairly sized venues, to enormous venues.. in a really short amount of time

Mario: Right.. I remember one of your first shows was that.. first bigger show was that Allen Town show. How was that different from playing like.. what you used to?

Gerard: Well... the best part is, we played it just like we played the hall. Yeah, check this out.. we go to that show, we get there like "super" and there were all these huge tour buses there and we roll up in this c___py van.. it was a rented van!

Ray: We parked next to Jimmy World Band and Julianna Theory buses

Gerard: And they were like "Oh!" and we like.. hung out for three hours or something and then finally we get to do our soundcheck right, and the dude comes up and he's like "yo uh... do you have an input list?" and i'm like "yeahyeah sure, let me get right back." and then i walked over like "oh s___ i don't know what an input list is, what's he talking about??" so i walked back and i'm like "alright.. dude, what's an input list?"
it's like how many instr... lika bass and all your instruments, how many mics you got, everything and i'm like "oh okay, well i'll come up with it" and then we were doing the soundcheck and there was this.. like it was the first time i'd ever heard myself. And it was coming out of these little things, right by the stage and i was like "what are these?" and they were monitors! i never knew, right.. and they were calling them wedges and stuff and i was like.. "what are these things?" ya know? so.. that was a great show, 'cause we could all hear ourselves really good, ya know? and then from there we never played a show that big...

Ray: Well i remember the show like it was just like that Motley Crue video, what was it? Mama w.. no home sweet home or something.. 'cause you know how it sounds like.. it sounds so weird, 'cause we're all just like file in and it was like.. yeh

Gerard: yeah i think, by the time we were playing there was like 7000 people there

Ray: that was a terrible a___ogy

*laughing*

Gerard: no it was a really good a___ogy 'cause it was a lot.. there was like lots of crew people running around, constructing the stage and then they unloaded our stuff and we were like "uh no we'll do it" and they're like "no we're payed to do this" and we're like "nonono dude, we like do it at every show, we can unload our stuff" and they're like "no we get payed by the hour" and we're like "what is this?"

*laughing*

like there were these guys unloading your stuff and all so that was the first eye opening experience, but uh we obviously got a lot of hard lessons on the road, but it was always fun, sometimes hard but it was a lesson and very quickly we had to learn it, ya know?

Mario: Since then, what has been your favorite kind of show to play, like now you've played 7000 people and 150 people?

uh yeah *??*, Cleveland, how many kids were there? it was like...

Ray: 7 million!!

Gerard: .. yeah. haha no like...that place like.. maybe squeezes in a hundred like stuff like nitting got it to like three hundred so like.. we're up close.. really personal.. uhm.. there's air condition

*laughing*

you know what i mean? like.. those are our favorite shows, like we've played huge ones and the medium sized ones and the small ones are still with us

Mario: Which one have you been the most comfortable at, like treated the most like high status at?

Gerard: Uhh... none

*laughing*

Yeah.. haha Amsterdam! In Europe we got a deli tray, but other than that it's been like "Are you guys here to clean the toilet?" stuff like that, they don't even know the band that's playing but uh, we've been treated okay on the road. Everybody's got stories about that, but high profile.. our urban was kind of high profile, not for us, but yeah..

Mario: But I'm talking about you guys, personally

Gerard: yeah he's had too many *random stuf*

Mario: where have you been treated the best?

Frank: Like in a crowd of other people?

Gerard: Crowded people? Yeah you know what, Madrid. We were treated the best because we started playing Honey

Frank: They thought we were a soccer team!

Gerard: Yeah they thought we were a soccer team and we started playing Honey, so they started clapping their hands like "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" These guys think we're at a soccer game!

Ray: Dude what was it tey were saying?

Frank: Go home yankee...

Ray and Gerard: Rock and rooooll!

Gerard: it was like the best! and they were clapping like we were seriously about to score a goal and they were like "hey! hey! hey!" and were singing these words in english and they don't even speak english! it was like the coolest thing ever, ya know?

Mario: So they all knew your music before you got there?

Gerard: Yeah 'cause they all.. they got it off the intranet [Mario: internet, huh?] so they kind of stole it... and this whole group of kids came up from portugal and they were like *portugese accent* we love your baaaand! metal! we love heavy metal! like "you gonna play heavy metal!" and we were like "yeah we're gonna play heavy metal" and it was just like the best thing in the world

Matt: there was even three girls all the way up from barcelona, wearing home made mcr shirts

Gerard: yeah home made shirts

Mario: were they good?

Ray: they were sweet!

the rest of the band: yeah!

Frank: *laughs* all around town they said "Go home yankee trash"

*laughing*

Gerard: yeah yeah! seriously, because of the war, they were having a protest in Madrid and we were like "dude, we're not gonna make it" ya know? we were like "they're gonna burn us" and the kids didn't even care, they loved it.

Mario: that "go home yankee trash"?

Mario: I remember a long time ago when you were recording recording this record that you had a problem while you were singing the song.

Gerard: Yeah, I had a hole in my tooth and an abscess in the hole and it was pushing against all the nerves in my face and it looked like I had Parkinsons and it was drag and it was droopy and I... like I went to hospitals the whole time recording and they thought I had... facial nerve paralysis and nervedamage so I had to do that song like... basically with... yeah the most intense pain and half a face... half a faaaace! *laughing in the background*

Mario: Everyone who [??], now you know he did that song with half a face... half a face *laughing in the background* how do you feel about the song after you played it? I know you must have been like... y'know "this can't be the best I can do" because you were all messed up and stuff.

Gerard: No I felt like that but everyone was so psyched on it, that I did it.

Ray: Psyched? People were crying dude!

Gerard: People were crying man...

Matt: We were definitely a bunch of wusses

Frank: Alright correction: Not a BUNCH of wusses, Ray and Otter cried *chuckles* That's what happened!

Ray: I would definitely say I... I

Matt: The red sea might have been parted all over when we did that part

Ray: I cried, I think Alex might have shed a singular tear...

Mario: Singular... tear?

Gerard: I got a hug after that one. I got a hug... I got lotsa hugs after that.

Mario: Alright so how do you feel about the hugs afterwards?
