Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance will not count out a reunion

June 6, 2017 | Kevin

OK, don’t freak out. The fans have clamored for it, and last year the reissue of ‘The Black Parade’ album with bonus material made many think it would finally happen: a My Chemical Romance reunion!

Gerard Way who fronted MCR, spoke to Billboard this week about his solo music, writing for various comic books since the band split up in 2013, and of course the topic of a reunion came up. “I wouldn’t count (a reunion) out, but at the same time everybody’s doing stuff in their lives now that they’re really enjoying,” Way says.

“I wouldn’t count (a reunion) out, but at the same time everybody’s doing stuff in their lives now that they’re really enjoying,” Way says. “In some ways I don’t really miss it; It had gotten so big it was very unwieldy. It took a toll on my mental life and personal life. The thing I’m happiest about right now is everybody’s relationships with each other are really strong. That’s more important than anything else to me.”

Way now oversees the latest DC Young Animal comic line with ‘Doom Patrol: Brick by Brick’  coming out today. “When I was in My Chemical Romance it was so busy all the time. The timing of it finally worked out; I hit this point after my first solo record (2014’s Hesitant Alien) where I said, ‘I think I want to write comics for a year or two’ and just focused on that, so that’s what I’ve been doing.”  Way joined movie maverick and podcast host Kevin Smith to chat up Doom Patrol and comics.

China debuts driverless train that only needs white painted lines as tracks

June 6, 2017 | Marconi🍕

(mashable.com)

China’s latest mode of public transportation is a bus, tram and train rolled into one. Its maker, Chinese rail transit firm CRRC, is calling it a “smart bus,” but it’s a lot more than that. Like a train, it’s modular and carriages can be added on; but like a bus, it runs on the road. Amazingly, the carriage will follow a preset path and won’t need a driver — but it won’t need tracks to be laid, either. The train is equipped with sensors that’ll allow it to follow white-dotted lines on the road. (MORE HERE)

Prophets Of Rage and Serj Tankian

June 6, 2017 | <3 Lauren

Prophets Of Rage were joined by Serj Tankian of System Of A Down to pay tribute to the late Chris Cornell this weekend at Germany’s Rock Im Park Festival.

While a beautiful tribute, it is so apparent that no one will ever be able to reproduce the vocal stylings of Chris.

1964 – 2017. The voice of a generation, an artist for all time.
