i guess its just one of those thingys where people say there view on my chemical romance and other crap, and like all the fanart for em and stuff, if this is bad delete it, im a noob so i could be doing illegal advertising, but us emos and indies need our own places....please paste some fanart though:bb:

[BlueIncaPilot]

:search:

[Fissh]

advertising? :confused: que?

also hello mods? yeah...this one needs closing

[by crikey!]

also hello mods? yeah...this one needs closing

chz it plz.

[ACobraNamedSall]

Fan art?

Of MCR?

Ghey.

[Tiggs]

I could be going to see them on Friday as they're playing Download, but I wont. Korn and Suicidal Tendencies are on at the same time. I think it'll have to be ST for me.

[Shiny]

Go see my thread and the video there in Look What I've Found.

and I've yet to meet a true indie kid who actually like MCphnaR

[allfalldown]

chz it plz.No don't, because it'll just be people going "MCR ARE TEH GHEY" and I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really bored of that.

It'll probably end up like that anyway.

[Shiny]

...mcr r teh ghey?

[by crikey!]

...mcr r teh ghey?

why the fuck are they at Download? WHY?!

[Fissh]

why the fuck are they at Download? WHY?!


because having, sadly, learnt from experience most of Download is 14 year old scenesters who decide to scream and flail their arms around wildly.

Although those "emo hunting" riots last year were rather chuckleworthy, if a bit scary

[by crikey!]

they'll be more this year i bet.

Aiden and piss bottle was last year too. Aiden are playing again this year, that means more bottles o' piss to be thrown. the guitarist got knocked out last year.

There is Korn, MCR and Aiden. oh and Linking Park who are going to have all the 14 year old secensters. i wish i was going so badly (i would be going with a couple of mates, but no money so i couldn't get a ticket :() as Dimmu Borgir, Turisas and Slayer are there, but alas, no i can't go. oh well, maybe next year.

[Midget]

you all sound like 14 year old scenesters

"oh my music taste is far better than everyone elses"

if you don't like them, don't listen to them you fucking spacks

[allfalldown]

you all sound like 14 year old scenesters

"oh my music taste is far better than everyone elses"

if you don't like them, don't listen to them you fucking spacksI concur.

I suspect you guys hate the 14 year old scenesters more than the band, so how about taking the piss out of them instead of the band?

[Thomp]

I'd like the lot of you who have slated MCR to come forward and say what music you like, so I can make twenty threads slating them back

As it's been said by the above two posters, don't listen to them if you don't like them.

*is trying so hard not to explain to utter retards about MCR*

[allfalldown]

I'd like the lot of you who have slated MCR to come forward and say what music you like, so I can make twenty threads slating them backI would support you in this venture.

[KeirAyres]

I'd like the lot of you who have slated MCR to come forward and say what music you like, so I can make twenty threads slating them back

David Bowie
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Beach Boys
The Who
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Led Zep
Bob Dylan
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Allman Brothers band

There's 10 of them, go for it (I know I haven't slagged anyone off but I fancied to hear what you have to say :p)

[Mat^]

Lynyard SkynyrdMore like "skinNERD".

[Midget]

david bowie - what an emo bastard, have you seen all the make up he wears?

[Thomp]

david bowie - what an emo bastard, have you seen all the make up he wears?
Yeah totally, what a gay.

[Midget]

obviously a fag

[KeirAyres]

More like "skinNERD".
That is the correct pronounciation, yes.

[Mat^]

More like... "The who?" AMIRITE?

[mrsnuffles]

i think mcr are emo because they sound and dress like bands i also think are emo e.g. taking back sunday/thrice/the used etc

someone please explain to me what is wrong with being an emo band anyway

[Midget]

because most of these people don't call them emo based on the music, just on looks

they don't know what emo is

[mrsnuffles]

because most of these people don't call them emo based on the music, just on looks

they don't know what emo is

yeah but 'emo' means so many things that i fail to see why people get upset about it

emo can mean anything from being directly influenced by fugazi to sounding like dashboard confessional. emo can mean having a slanted fringe
actual original emotional hardcore bands sound nothing like mcr but then your stereotypical 'emo' kid doesn't listen to emotional hardcore bands anyway

obviously mcr are going to be associated with their fans, who are often stereotypical emo kids.
the really ironic thing in my experience is 'emo' kids who like mcr and the likes of afi/alexisonfire etc. also tend to like trivium and other metal bands

tl;dr - everyone who goes to download probably liked/likes an 'emo' band and should therefore stop moaning about mcr

[richardn111]

i think the word is now "scene" kids? or is that something different? those that dress like true emo's or whatever they are just to follow the fashion trend, and also listen to the music being all like "WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO MCRRRRRRR" when they don't even like it, just because "cool" people like it..

P.S. sorry about grammar and overuse of Quotation marks

[SAUCYCHEESE666]

people please! i only made this so people can get along so stop fucking arguing its only for people too alk bout something they like

STEREOTYPICAL! god mods should close this thread...i may be emo, scene, indie but i dont give two shites god sake its only a band and i like em and i made this for those willingly to come say oh cool do you like em? not teh ghey? (if thats a word)

[GorillaBearBear]

Saucycheesewhatever: Not to piss on your (black) parade, but it's just not a great thread. It's a problem of the music forum that there's not a lot of opportunity for new threads, and I'm not sure quite what constitutes a good one, but just having an "I like MCR" thread isn't gonna win you any friends. It's better to put stuff like news about tours and new albums, discussion of very new singles (maybe). But mostly, use the search function before posting threads, because stuff like this, most of us have seen a million times before and it always ends up the same.

But don't worry about most of the rest of this thread. People are being idiots.

PS everyone who has clearly minused him: I've just read through the sum total of his 4 posts, and in what way does he deserve to be instantly minused? Yes, it wasn't up to the clearly high standard of posting that we have here, but you could have maybe just pointed these things out rather than being massive twats about it?

[by crikey!]

i have nothing against them i just don't like the music, ok?

music i like is:

Amon Amarth
Ensiferum
Kalmah
Norther
Children of Bodom
Dimmu Borgir
Finntroll
Turisas
Korpiklaani
Tyr
LazyTown
Borknagar
Dragonforce
Moonsorrow

and stuff like that. MCR just doesn't appeal. there isn't a law against not liking them, but as soon as you say you don't people recoil in shock and accuse you hate all emos. crazy!

[Thomp]

LazyTown
Haha, are you being serious?

[Luna]

I reckon the band are pretty crap, however in my innocence I bought "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge". It's not very good, but the way people go on about them you would think it's just 60 minutes of cats being strangled. Just to put this into perspective, my favourite acts are Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones, etc.

Just don't get me started on Fall Out Boy.

[GorillaBearBear]

I like Fall Out Boy. This Ain't A Scene is a terrible, terrible song, but a lot of the rest of that album is actually pretty cool, and the album before that is a good'un. I used to hate them, I guess, but they are catchy, and there comes a point where you just think "man, if they're this catchy, they can't be as bad as all that"

[by crikey!]

Haha, are you being serious?

very serious. i'm a music exremist. i listen to mostly Black, Death and Folk Metal. and LazyTown (which to be fair i haven't listened to in a while). but the point still stands. i bought the CDs. i put them on my ipod. i listen to them when i feel down. they lift you right back up. seriously, they should put it on the NHS for depressed people.

[Luna]

Each to their own. I admit they are catchy, but they're the kind of band that you never want a song of their's in your head in my opinion.

[Mat^]

Haha, are you being serious?Dude, to be fair, you can't act all defencive about your MCR and then go "lol" at him saying lazytown.

That's just not cool man.

[CoffeeMachine]

MRC make fine music, I just hate the 11-12 year old girls who are yet to get over Busted who run round my school shouting "YAY we love MRC sooooooo much, Black Parade lol".

[Thomp]

Dude, to be fair, you can't act all defencive about your MCR and then go "lol" at him saying lazytown.

That's just not cool man.

Who said I was being defective? And I wasn't laughing at him. I was doing the whole "haha, Are you serious?" like people do in real life, y'know, when you say haha instead of laughing.

[by crikey!]

see my above post. completely serious.

[Urlosenged]

I think I've heard that MCR are going on before Muse at the 2nd Wembley gig on the 17th. Is that true? Because it'd be pretty awesome if it is, I quite like MCR.

[bionic sheep]

Once I really hated MCR. This was because I was fourteen and had anger issues, and all my friends really liked them.

Now I like to imagine I've risen to a higher plane of existence.

God I'm such a prick. :(

[Midget]

yeah mcr, the streets and biffy clyro i think, urlosenged

[SAUCYCHEESE666]

i understand this all right but right now im reading the bands bio and no they arent emo shits, i am an "emo" but i dont like being called one cos...its stoooopid, and yes i am in school and yes my mates are all girls saying wow gerard way is soooo fit but i deal with it (im a guy and yes i do have a life and a girlfriend but i still think gerard way is ultra hot) and so really i understand what you mean about all of this being gay and stuff but i didnt look at it from anyone elses point of view and im sorry....but anywwwaaaaaaayyyy thanks too those saying its not the worst post ever and yes i agree.......LAZYTOWN? now you should be in the nhs MENTAL homes okay....my 4 yr old nephew watches that....

i also like

elvis
iron maiden
MCR
ozzy osbourne (im going too the 19th concert!)

so i think you can see why i made this post....im sorry for corruption but i like the way everyone is thinkin

[SAUCYCHEESE666]

by the way MCR are not emo, they are death rock, emos are fags, my mates call emselves it but onlyone is :/

and i like a wide variety but LAZYTOWN should be banned haha, sorry if i did anything wrong but i was thinkin not about evryone elses views but my own...(im a guy in school and the 12 yr old girls iss me off, but they all like fall out boy, and i have a girlfriend and a life and i think gerard way is hot...)

[ACobraNamedSall]

I may not like Emo, but I think that everyone should be allowed to like whatever they like. I'm sure people here could take the piss out of my musical tastes all day long-it wouldn't really bother me (but I'm not Emo :¬P). Although, I did find it funny that the first person who posted did a list of "The Untouchables" of rock music. Anyone could look at that list and say "fucking druggies", so they're not so perfect themselves.

MCR is just one band in a bloated genre that's probably going to die a year or so anyway, no matter how much more like Queen their sound becomes.

I dislike all this post-indie-carp that we're getting in the charts at the mo a lot more, though.

[SAUCYCHEESE666]

i agree but at the beginning of your post you say free rights and nothings that bad then you say but i hate all this mcr stuff O.o i sense some lying in this

[Mr. Little]

wow, never befor have I ever heard a Jollyer band. I would enjoy pointing out songs such as Cancer, Why Dont You Love Me? and Im not Ok. I really dont think people need songs about this sort of stuff. In my opinion it has poisoned a generation.

[El Fisho]

by the way MCR are not emo, they are death rock

Death rock? Meh whatever you call it I can't get into it, just to poppy for my tastes I think.

wow, never befor have I ever heard a Jollyer band. I would enjoy pointing out songs such as Cancer, Why Dont You Love Me? and Im not Ok. I really dont think people need songs about this sort of stuff. In my opinion it has poisoned a generation.

In my opinion you suck. Jokes. But I think whilst they're not the most jolly of bands, it's going a bit far to say they've poisoned the youths. How many peopel really take their lyrics that seriously that they will go home and cry or slit their wrists or something? to most people it's just "good" music?

[Spacemonkey]

Death Rock?

Lol at all the stupid names for genres they've come up with.

I used to quite like MCR back in the day, I bought the first album and went to one of the first UK tours they ever did - they were touring with The Used and pretty much no one had heard of either of them.

The new album is awful though.

[Mat^]

Secondly, lazytown is the shit my friend.

Lastly, no one asked if the lead singer was attractive, I don't think that matters "musically".

But tbh now you bring it up, I've always thought he's pretty ugly : /.

[richardn111]

He makes Naatalie Imbruglia look masculine.

[MasterMoogle]

Do you have any idea what Death Rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_rock) is?

I think MCR are generally quite good. The only thing I don't like is the pathetic little emos that worship them and idolize Gerard Way.

[Thomp]

I'd say they're more Horror Punk now. The Misfits are a big influence on MCR, and it was the Misfits that kind of coined "Horror Punk", combining horror-esque lyrics with punk riffs.

[bum face man]

mcr are a total disgrace and i nearly criedwhen i heard cancer :( its f~@*&£g horrible. they have poisoned a generation.

they started off pretty good and the songs are quite cathy but, when i heard the lyrics to them, i died a little inside...

[tom93]

What's all this "poisoned a generation" crap?
If anything's poisoning a generation, it's computer games! (I'm kidding.)
MCR make good music, for the most part. They've got a death theme going, rather than a love theme. It's a little morbid, for sure, but it's different, and it's kinda clever.
My feelings about MCR are kinda like that quote "I don't mind God, I just hate his fanclub". In fact, they're exactly like that.

[bionic sheep]

God, I've been trying to stay out of this discussion, but I figure I should drop in.

"Poisoned a generation" by singing about cancer? That's tame! People have been singing songs with morbid lyrics since the start of rock music. If the lyrics upset you, fine, that's understandable - it's a subject that might be close to your heart. But don't act like they're doing anything new or controversial - that makes them sound far edgier than they really are.

Fact of the matter is, they are a child-friendly, safe, sugary, pop-punk band. The cursing and grandstanding only cements that image. It's just rebellious enough to appeal to kids of a certain age, and that's just fine. If we didn't have bands like MCR, lotsa kids would never get into heavier music; it's a gateway drug. When people grow up a touch, they begin to appreciate them for what they really are, and that doesn't necessarily mean that they dislike 'em for it.

I'm irked slightly by their insistence that they are anything but pop-punk, but not enough to think of it as anything other than an extension of their image.

[Soma]

He makes Naatalie Imbruglia look masculine.
You must spread reputation and yadi-yada...

[Mittwoch]

Poisoning a generation? It's those damn anti-skubs doing that. </provocation>

I've never liked MCR that much, and while the constant controversy about them may have put me off somewhat, it's mainly the fact that I don't particularly enjoy their music.

I do get annoyed at people who like them just to buy into a certain image or whatever, but that goes for all bands - if you only pretend to like the music, or ou profess them to be the greatest band ever when they clearly do not create all that fantastic music, then you're doing it wrong. It's not just MCR that should be used as an example.

[archbishop_josh]

erm... im quite ashamed but... i really quite like their new Status-Quo-esque track.

Its quite catchy, i never thought id say this after having booed them off the other day at download but... that new track is damn fine.

[by crikey!]

...after having booed them off the other day at download...

they were booed off?

damn i wish i went.

[allfalldown]

"Poisoned a generation" by singing about cancer? That's tame! People have been singing songs with morbid lyrics since the start of rock music.Indeed. MCR just don't disguise what they're singing about much :p If you want examples of other quite morbid songs, once I paid attention to the lyrics of Jenny Was a Friend of Mine by The Killers, and I think that song might be about a guy who may or may not have killed his girlfriend. And another of their songs (Uncle Jonny) is almost certainly about drug abuse. In my book, drugs and murder are worse than cancer, but I don't see anyone bitching about The Killers.

P.S. I've been trying to stay out of this too, but it really annoys me that people seem to have such irrational hate of My Chemical Romance. You're as bad as the fans who wear make-up and get all miserable for no reason.

And if anything has poisoned a generation, it's reality TV. That is something worthy of our hate.

[SAUCYCHEESE666]

wow, never befor have I ever heard a Jollyer band. I would enjoy pointing out songs such as Cancer, Why Dont You Love Me? and Im not Ok. I really dont think people need songs about this sort of stuff. In my opinion it has poisoned a generation.

why dont you love me? i dont love you if you think about it, and its not miserable, it says if you leave me i bet you wont even say you dont love me! cancers not a bad song, its making more people aware of this terrible disease, poisoning my arse...

[gembird]

I wouldn't call myself a fan of My Chemical Romance, but I don't mind them. I listen to all kinds of music, so I don't feel like I should have to justify my reasons for listening to them. I wouldn't call myself emo either; I do wear a lot of black and I do have dark hair with a fringe, but I'm a relatively happy person overall.

Part of why I quite like MCR is that they tie in with a lot of other stuff that I like- I'm quite morbid and I have a very twisted sense of humour, so MCR are a band that appeal to me in the same way that Alice Cooper, Rocky Horror, vampire novels and Tim Burton films do. It's just an image that some people happen to quite like.

I couldn't give a fuck either way if other people like MCR or hate them, it's mainly the little girls of about 12 who worship Gerard Way and don't really take much notice of the music that irritate me. To be fair though, that might be because Gerard Way is almost everything I usually look for in a man, only I find him totally unattractive, and it scares me.

[Fissh]

My feelings about MCR are kinda like that quote "I don't mind God, I just hate his fanclub". In fact, they're exactly like that.

Egg-fooking-sacktly

(note: the word "fanclub" here does not apply to all people who enjoy MCR, I don't have to spell out who it does apply to because we can all understand that..yeahs?)

[JimmywiT]

I don't know anyone my age who likes them. I haven't heard nearly enough of them to make a judgement, but I don't think I will bother either. They seem really boring to me. Its probably something you grow out of. or maybe not.

[evil ida]

he's going through his mid life crisis.

[richardn111]

or he fancies natalie imbruglia, but since she's no longer famous, gerard way is the closest he can get?

[hmmmmmmm...]

MCR is just one band in a bloated genre that's probably going to die a year or so anyway, no matter how much more like Queen their sound becomes.

I doubt MCR would ever be anything like Queen. MCR are causing a bit of a scuffle in this thread. If it was Queen, most of us (me included) would be saying that they positively influenced rock music. I doubt that anybody honestly thinks that they were a waste of time. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

[ChokeOnThis_x]

I don't know why anyone started this to be honest, cause it'll be full of people saying how much they hate mcr, and it gets rather annoying and pathetic after a while, as I know since I've loved them for years.

Also, labelling yourself is quite sad.
