It's not where I thought I'd be

The man with the plan

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:01:59 GMT

In tradition of the Day Late Bday Picspam, today I'm honoring Ray Toro of MCR.
Dude is a total bro, made of awesome, video games, 80's metal band shirts, Iron Maiden fanboy, magical fro, and mega riffs.
I have a ridiculous amount of love for Ray. Then again I usually do go for the underdog. Ray has sort of risen from underdog status to Rock God. Still, he doesn't get the kind of love he should.

This is Ray Toro in his natural habitat. Rocking the fuck out.

Dec 02, if the time stamp is right. Ray's hair and glasses for the win

Torosaurus<3

For shits and giggles Mikey took his hair straightner to the FRO, and here you have the results. Mildly scary.

Ray is big ol sweetheart.

He helped Mikey with his bass plucking skills, like a best friend would.

Holding Breakfast Monkey near and dear to his heart.

Shorts!!!! I find it adorable.

Stage snuggles. Frank loves it. Who wouldn't?

Tattoo peek.

rock star sunnies

what does his hoodie say?

Viking!drummer Ray

wild n crazy

crazy dudes

Only time I've seen him smoking. Stressful day, almost sinking and all.

Such cuties.

Projekt Revolution

I adore him with an acoustic guitar.

There's also a picture of Patrick Stump with a hotdog and a bunch of fans. I don't know what the fascination is.

Is it possible someone likes pizza more then Adam T. Siska?

Best shirt ever. And I don't even play WoW. Very fitting for this band though.

Ray and Matty! Matty is some of the most awesome security ever.

Also into boys in shorty short shorts.

Meet n Greet in Vietnam. She's touching his hair. Back away from the Toro.

In certain climates the fro is not a large as it usually is.

Bob lurks. MCR are big on the thumbs up. I approve.

Ray Toro has been around, okay? Just because he's sometimes quiet and maybe a musical genius does not mean he is a model of virtue. Dude can hang.

Pretty big game of kickball

Waiting for their turn in kickball.

Maintain your rock God figure by playing kickball in venue parking lots.

Thighs.

Classic Ray: Iron Maiden shirt, black everything else, poufy fro, indifferent to Frank's silliness.

Old days

Say what?

Get back in your closet, Gee. You're not ready to come out yet, it's okay.

Pretty cute face

Keep your guitarist well hydrated

Besties.

Gerard seems mildly concerned at the direction of Bob's knee. However, there appears to be a smile on Ray's face. I'm thinking Bob just hasn't made impact yet and Ray somehow doesn't see him coming. *shrug*

Ray took Gerard literally when he told all the boys in the audience to take their shirts off. It made for a very happy fandom.

One of my favorite pictures.

Again, the less poufy fro, I kinda dig it. Here at least.

arm and thighs

favorite! His smile.

I actively do not swoon. Not even over Toro tummy. Or damp Toro hair.

The Zombie hoodie. The band that shares clothes stays together.

New Years Eve in Times Square with Alicia and Krista. (the zombie hoodie...)

Incognito means putting the fro under a hood

Don't we all?

Ray and Worm (photo by Ryan Russel)

Projekt Revolution, shot by Ryan Russel again

way to wear your own band shirt. haha

I wouldn't want to sign moobs either.

Ray getting married leaves Bob as the only guy in the band who has yet to pop the question. As far as I know anyway, I'm not so hip to the MCR jive lately.

drawn by Gee

Pretty snazzy.

rock out

Mock him not, Geetard.

And that is Ray Toro, guitarist for My Chemical Romance, 31 years old as of yesterday.

The general junk goes here: if you see your picture in here and that upsets you, you shouldn't have put it on the internet, but just ask and I'll take it down.

Enjoy.

Back to the daily grind.
Thus I come bearing mini picspam of bandom playing video games. Mostly Guitar Hero, bc that's how they roll.
But, yeah.... the pictures are few in number, if you have more, you should most definitely link or post them in a comment.
:D

The Hush Sound's Chris Faller

Bob playing Tetris on the original Nintendo console

Jack Marin, by way of he used to be in CIWWAF which is an FBR band. Now he just chills with HeyChris! from time to time....

Patrick with a Gameboy Advance

Andy gets rowdy when he's into a game.

The Academy Is, William settin up Rock Band

Butcher; solo frets

Bamboozle. Chiz and Sisky on guitars.

MCR bongo game

Frank playing Wii

Gerard Wii bowling

Mtv's Gamers Week 2.0 in 06 Brendon and some kid named Brian duel

Brendon pretty much killed. It would suck to have your ass handed to you by a musician on live tv.

Brendon and Spencer play lots of guitar hero

It really looks like Brendon is playing at a higher difficulty then Spencer. Spencer does have the orange buttons though, so maybe not.

sweatiest boy ever.

Ryan is too good for guitar hero now

Bden is not.

Jon is not keen on the game either.

J-14 clip of the same pic, no tags

A regular video game? Jon Walker(?), so old school. Notice the DDR mat folded to the side, takin a break from bein a dancing fool.

Thanks to bone for reminding me of this pic.

Brendon and Ryan with N64 controllers

Alex Suarez guitar hero star

Game time on the Cobra Starship bus.

I like Paramore. So I'm saying this one counts. ;)

sans drummer, Zac, plus a few fans.

Just because, Boys Like Girls playing Rock Band

roll the clock back 24 hours//pretend it's yesterday.
i forgot to wish one of the greatest drummer's a happy birthday.
and we simply can't have that bc bob bryar is made of win, awesome, badassery, cute puppies, ninjas, rad headbands, fuzzy slippers, zebra print, soft hair, beard luhve, sparkly drum kits, and teenage mutant ninja turtles.

this is Bob Bryar

he was born on Dec. 31, 1979

in Chicago, IL

contrary to popular belief Bob's middle name is not Nate, in any form (or Oscar) It's Cory.

was a sound guy for the used, touring with them in 2003

before rescuing mcr in 2004, he didn't like Matt either (http://illinoisentertainer.com/2006/02/01/chemical-bryar/print/)

known to have affected mcr's rhythmic style since joining the band.

almost died by fire during the filming of the FLW video

the only mcr member not from new jersey

Clearly annoyed by Frank's doings

always lint roll your beard before a show

eats towels<3

rides tiny bikes

this is obviously a bob picture

cleans up nice.

has great taste in necklaces

accoring to fall out boy patrick stump, is way more buff then ppl give him credit for. :D (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/10307428.html)

turned 28 on New Year's Eve. (still younger then Gee and Ray i dunno about Mikey)

gets super excited about xmas gifts

makes rad faces while drumming

usually techs his own drums. its a bit harder now that mcr is HUGE!

frank loves bob... a lot. you should too.

used to be heavier, lost a lot of weight, was miraculously suddenly SO HAWTT to all mcr fans...

such a great drawing. only mildly looks like a boy band member.

plays inflatable guitar in his spare time.

puts up with frank's shit

puts up with frank's shit

picks on mikey

has really hurt wrists right now

likes cats in a band full of dog lovers (mikey lies)

multi talented

shaved his beard for the video

wears argyle once in a blue moon. (channeling patrick stumph)

okay so maybe he just likes cuddly things

i didnt notice this was the vmas until just now....

chuck norris-like badassery

i'm not the only one scared of Gee

most awesome episode of Download on Fuse ever

was uber adorable as a youngin

frank's been quoted calling Bob one of the hardest working people he knows. AP noticed

bob <3 frank

could be a boom operator if this whole drummer gig doesn't pan out

bob bryar's solo project has swept the nation.

smiles to rival Spencer James Smith

notice Frank's suggestion of 'Gerardlopoly' never caught on

man enough to wear a shirt with butterflies on it.

not very fond of cameras

if i stole your pictures and you want credit, just comment. otherwise, ya know, its the internet.

Happy day late Birthday, Bob Bryar.
<3

feel free to link this to people, spread the Bob love. :D

The End.

not dial up friendly.
and also, not a primer. just throwing that out there. i am not all knowing.

All Time Low/JWalk/Spencer/Joncer Icons

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 23:55:05 GMT

I'm mildly infatuated with All Time Low's song "Vegas."
It's awesome. It took several times listening to it while driving to finally hear the last verse, which is my now my favorite.
"I would've married you in Vegas, Had you given me the chance, Could you be anymore obvious?"

I've been meaning to make icons out of that lyric bc I like it so much.
The other day punkette4vab posted All Time Low bases.
I finally got around to iconning today.
