Let me add my voice to the "MCR is a good live band" movement. I saw their MTV2 Special, and I loved it. I taped the whole thing, and I still watch it. Like Rissa said, Gerard plays the crowd really well, and the tone of the songs that they play means that his voice screaming, or breaking, or wailing really fits the material. And the guitars are just as good live as they are on the record - maybe a little more sloppy, but in a good way, and Frank's stage presence is awesome.

btw, check out my review of "Three Cheers" at sputnikmusic.com

i really like MCR but i saw them at warped tour in indy and i thought they sounded ok they werent great but the also have a cd released that is from this years warped tour in like san diego and i listened to like Helena and Im not okay from that cd and it really sucked but i guess they always sound better when im there haha

i like them, "helena" is great.

They're not the best band live. But they do make awesome music.

Do they play Headfirst for Halos on their setlist?

'Cause they better, the bitches.

Last time i saw them they played it, i cant remember about the first time.

I think on there next tour theyll play mainly 3 cheers, some off IBYMBYBMYL and hopefulyl some new tracks off there next album.

Next album? When's that coming out?

I dunno but i heard some where there writing it, so maybe theyll play some songs off it.

They didn't when I saw them a few weeks ago(much to my dismay). They played Drowning Lessons. I think that was the only one from the old album they played actually. Everyone went crazy when they played it.

they didnt :eek:

Gererd gave us a big lecture on if we think about killing our selfs, talk to somebody and dont do it. then they sung that, it was in april though. The 8th to be precise, the ticket is pinned to the wall along with all my gig tickets and pit bands.

When I saw them, Gerard gave this big talk to all the girls about how if some as[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]hole in a band tells us that if we show them our ti[SIZE=2]t[/SIZE]s they'll let us backstage... we're suppose to flick them off and yell "f[SIZE=2]u[/SIZE]ck you". All the girls freakin went insane. And had their middle fingers in the air. It was great.

Oh, they said that too, but he said, "spit in there face and say thank you, thank you for the venom..." them played im not ok for some reason...

Ok, that very last bit was a lie, they played TYFTV serprisingly.

Before they played To The End... he sang "Here Comes the Bride" and I thought it was pretty effin sweet.
And before they played TYFTV he kept going "Can I get an Hallelujah" and "Can I get an Amen" and it was neat.

They said that to befre they played to the end too.

I saw one of there set lists in a magazine and it had all prompts on it to say all that stuff, we said when we was there "he'lll say that every night of this tour" i remember next to TYFTV it had in big letters "****" which is proberly censored and i cant be botherd going around it but you get the jist.

I'm so utterly excited for their new tour... tickets are goin on sale already fer like half the shows

Thanks :)

who are mychemicalromance doing there uk tour with???whos touring with them does anybody no

I don't know exactly when, but according to their website, they're playing Reading and Leeds on August 26 - they mentioned it because their original date for Leeds conflicted with the MTV VMAs.

Hang on, I just checked their website and they're playing the UK at the beginning of November. I don't know about a mainland tour, though.

Yeah, they are playing the Leeds mainstage at 12:00, then the Reading Radio 1 stage later that night, then heading out to the VMAs for the next day.

I don't particularly like this band that much, but I give them a lot of respect for this. Whereas Fall Out Boy and Simple Plan are staying stateside, MCR are giving back to their fanbase here, and they get props for that in my book

I loved the first album, not so happy about the second. Then I started getting crap from all my friends who started to like them when they got famous because I liked someone popular. I'm going to see them in November.

Believe it or not, some bands actually become popular because they're [I]good[/I]. So liking a popular band isn't an instant sin.

This is true. I like My Chemical Romance, its their Teeny Bopper fans I cant stand.

In this case though, I think his friends are a little justified. My Chemical Romance clearly changed their sound for the label, a sound which they could publicise and get to the masses.

Still, that doesn't mean it sucked, so that's where I agree with you

[QUOTE=TheChaplain]Believe it or not, some bands actually become popular because they're [I]good[/I]. So liking a popular band isn't an instant sin.[/QUOTE]
But in this case the band became popular because they're part of a trend.

Wow, you guys are cynical. The biggest difference between MCR's debut and "Three Cheers" is just the better production that a bigger label could offer. Their sound hasn't changed (although Gerard's songwriting has improved - his sobriety maybe?) and all of their success is deserved. That "trend" was actually a couple of bands (The Used and Taking Back Sunday) who were overhyped in anticipation of emo taking off. MCR is the band that actually delivers on that promise, so they're just taking their [I]own[/I] music and getting it out there.
