Sorry if me posting this is annoying I’m just fangirling so hard right now and I need to share it with someone xD makeup talk with Chris Motionless ughh *-*
This is so beyond fucking creepy. This is NOT me talking to this girl and this is a prime example of the bullshit that contributes to ruining some fans for me. So fucked.
I hate the Internet and all of these social media websites so much anymore. The ONLY reason I have a Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook page at this point in time is to solely prevent others from starting a fake one in my absence. I don’t check any of these sites anymore because of stuff like this. I was told about this post and obviously being looked at as though I’m texting an underage girl doesn’t fucking fly with me.
I know because I’m posting this there’s going to be fan backlash towards other fans. This post isn’t attacking the girl who thinks I’m texting her, it’s directed towards the person who is claiming to be me. ***I’m not asking any of you to wage war against other fans! I think you all need to drop the “who’s a real/fake fan” bullshit immediately. I don’t think our fans realize how much they are pushing people away from our band. I used to read all the time that people felt threatened by a lot of your persecution and discrimination. It’s the biggest joke ever to me to read that shit because you are all then entirely missing the point of what it is to be a fan of Motionless In White. Get off the fucking Internet and grow up, please. There’s far more to life than tumblr and twitter.
For those fans that DON’T do all the creepy shit or hypocritical garbage, I thank you! Thank you for being polite and respectful. I know this is a war bands will never win as long as social media is around, but thank you for not contributing to the negative side of things.
Q’s and A’s
I keep getting asked a bunch of questions about a lot of things pertaining to the new record. The most reoccurring currently is “who is that singing at the end of Sinematic? Ghost or Ricky?” among as I said, a lot of others.
With that being said.. I’ll try once again to clear some of these up. I see so much false information all over tumblr, FB and of course.. the #1 haven for false info… Wikipedia. So i’d like to try and take care of this in one shot instead of trying to answer everyone’s tons of questions individually.
First off, No it is not Ricky or Ghost singing on Sinematic. It’s me. Ghost and Ricky have never recorded any clean vocals for our band in it’s entire existence. Where did so many people get that it’s them singing from?? They both have very minor little screaming parts (ricky screams some small parts in “we only come out at night” and “.com pt 2” and Ghost screams one line in “Synthetic Love”) but those are the only vocals they have ever tracked for MIW. It’s the same shit we went through when TJ was removed from the band. People always thought it was TJ singing on our Ep’s and on the Creatures record and were pissed about it when he was out of the band. TJ never sang anything more than a few words on those records either!!! Every major clean and screaming vocal part on any of our records besides the guest vocal parts have always been me. I don’t understand how people could not notice that when you either see us live or watch youtube videos and it’s me singing the main lines and ghost and ricky do a lot of backup vocals. Or even better yet.. every one of our music videos clearly shows me singing all of the song except for the short backup vocal screams and stuff. “Backup vocals” means exactly that.. Backup.. not Lead.
Here is another topic people seem to recently be confused by. Ricky and I write and record all of MIW’s music. Yes, thats right… all of the guitars, keyboards, programming etc…. that you hear on Creatures and Infamous were written by ricky and myself. Yes I play guitar and keyboards, Yes Ricky does too and can program the shit out of some electronic parts. For Infamous, we then took everything we had to the studio to expand that process with the producers. Tim Skold, Jason Suecof and a close friend and co writer Mick Kenney all helped us out this time around. I arrange all of our songs musically and then I write all of the lyrics and singing/screaming patterns over them once i’m happy with where the music is at. That’s how it’s always been with everything we’ve ever done. Bet you didn’t know that one. That’s how it is for a LOT of bands you know and love. It’s funny to me when people think all I do is scream for the band. LOL.
and lastly before this post gets too long. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about our music video’s claiming that we in the band have no say in the content of the video as well some other pretty ignorant shit. That is entirely false. We are lucky enough to be on a great label that supports my vision for our videos. All 3 of the music video’s from Creatures and the new Devil’s Night video all start with my ideas and then I collaborate with the Director and the band to come to a final treatment that Fearless approves. I can’t say that’s the same for all bands, but for us, The idea’s start in the band and goes from there.
I would love to meet the person that updates the Motionless In White wikipedia page. Hey buddy! maybe if you’re reading this, you can go update it with what you have learned. I would appreciate it instead of having to read so much false shit. Hey fans, maybe now that you know this stuff, you help clear it up to others when they are incorrect or not sure. I would appreciate that as well so we can all try to keep people correctly informed and less confused. I know it’s a losing battle, but do me a favor and from this point on look to the band itself or a member of the band you want to know info on and get it officially instead of a hack job site. I’m not just talking about us, I speak for all bands. Thank you!!
I don’t choose what magazines decide to write about us. I also don’t agree with every word all the time. Particularly the 2 words currently on trial in the court of Tumblr. I’m just happy to be part of the publication regardless and am grateful they chose to feature us. Stop crying about the opinion of someone else.
