At least they should get their fact straights before they make fun of them

I think any jackass who dies his hair white and cuts it short in order to look like a chemo patient for a stage act is one of the few human beings who'd deserve cancer.

hmm, i never made any connection between the dye job and the cancer thing. it did look stupid, though, and that whole album/concept pretty much ruined this band.

Jesus. If people put as much energy into hating politicians as they do third-rate popstars, maybe this country wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

cool app (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 30 September 2008 00:18 (fifteen years ago) link

Ha, not quite. It just never fails to amuse me when people get all worked up and spend so much time on something they hate. I'd much rather spend that energy on something I like. Then again, I am on this thread.

http://www.imnotokay.net/data/board-smilies/icon_mad.gif Grrrr....this person is an asshole. If people dont like My Chemical Romance, then thats their choice, I dont care, but to do something like this makes me want to find them and beat them up. http://www.imnotokay.net/data/board-smilies/icon_mad.gif Also, the idiot doesnt seem smart enough to come up with any other 'insult' than fag. http://www.imnotokay.net/data/board-smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif They're just jealous because My Chemical Romance is an amazing band with loads of talent.

A lot of people are very personal about pop music, whether that's right or wrong. To most people pop stars mean a lot more than politicians. The optimist in me says that maybe that's because most people have little faith in our political systems (that's optimistic?). But I think it's more likely people just find it uninteresting and don't care. Anyway, considering the amount of people who think they relate to MCR I think we need to keep an eye on our pop stars too.

Myspace is the place where teenagers are hanging out and spending all their time, trying to meet other people like themselves. It's where many people live their life.

one year passes...

As posted by Doran just now over on the Avenged Sevenfold thread, in reference to when he met MCR for a story:

I was so gauche when I first met them in Manchester. I had this idea 'Punk band over from New Jersey. I know Manchester like the back of my hand, I'll take them out on the town. It'll be amazing.'

Then I got on to the tour bus about midnight after the gig (with Gerrard Way's exhortations about doing lines and getting wasted and punk rock still ringing in my ears) and *literally* one of them *was* wearing pyjamas and they were all arguing over which D&D DVD to watch. You know: the kid's animated series. I went out with their drummer (who didn't remain in the band long afterwards) and the two support bands and, did, literally meet them on the way to see a 9am showing of the new Harry Potter movie as we were crawling out of some post-Jilly's Rock World hell hole in China Town.

It wasn't a Damascene experience but I did kind of get then how big they were going to be and did admire them in a way I hadn't previously. I liked the fact that they were geeks who were into Pulp and Flock Of Seagulls as well as the non-violent 'message' of Black Flag and comics and tats and all the other stuff. Sooner that than some bunch of Dawn of the Dead style Babyshambles group.

My Chemical Romance is this generations Bullet For My Valentine.

Publicradio (3×5), Thursday, 31 October 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link

Doesn't sound like a proper reunion tbh

Simon H., Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:03 (four years ago) link

in what way, beyond only one show being announced

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:09 (four years ago) link

starting your statement with "My Chemical Romance is done" makes it seem to me there will be no new material forthcoming

Simon H., Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:40 (four years ago) link

which tbh is all I care about cause I can't do big/pricey gigs anyway

Simon H., Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:41 (four years ago) link

that’s a quote from when they disbanded

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:52 (four years ago) link

it’s a confusingly ordered pfork news post tbf

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:52 (four years ago) link

Ahhhhh I see. Durrr.

Simon H., Thursday, 31 October 2019 21:54 (four years ago) link

the best mcr song is still "summertime"

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 1 November 2019 01:58 (four years ago) link

I've been drafting a list of my favourite songs of the 10s and "Summertime" is in the top five.

Tim F, Friday, 1 November 2019 02:01 (four years ago) link

i stopped short of calling it the best song ever but......................it is

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 1 November 2019 02:01 (four years ago) link

the other best mcr song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQndQV9E8C8

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 1 November 2019 12:18 (four years ago) link

i didn't end up voting for three cheers or black parade in the '00s poll because, like, no mcr album is perfect, but the cumulative effect of their work is more powerful than any album

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 1 November 2019 12:34 (four years ago) link

I fell asleep right before the announcement yesterday, but it looks like I picked a good year to become an MCR stan. (Always liked them but didn't get heavily into the records until earlier this year and am pretty obsessed now).

My current jam is Destroya! (destroya, destroya, destroya, destroya, ah ah ah ah, ah, ah)

Roz, Friday, 1 November 2019 12:35 (four years ago) link

the second half of danger days >>>>>>>>>

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 1 November 2019 12:35 (four years ago) link

ya, basically that entire stretch from "S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W" to "The Kids of Yesterday" rules

Roz, Friday, 1 November 2019 12:38 (four years ago) link

we can leave this world leave it all behind
we can steal this car if your folks don't mind
we can live forever if you've got the time
YOU MOTHERFUCKER
