I don't care for them. In my opinion there are many bands that are so much better.

That and I've never been a fan of emo music.

I wouldn't cry if they all died in a fire, but then again I wouldn't start the blaze either. Though I might sprinkle on a bit of gasoline.
Really though, they are pretty much crap and will be mostly forgotten within 5 years.

Seriously, they are awful.

MCR has probably the worst sounds for any band ever. They are just so ball-less, and its supposed to sound kick ass? Nossir. The only I like just a tiny little bit is The Black Parade. Other than that they are pretty awful.

So here is that picture.
my rebuttle

I didn't know Carrot Top played guitar!

Wow. What a giant pile of bullshit wankery that was. Just of the top of my head I can think of 67,785 guitar players who are better than this clown. The definition of suck. I love how he pauses and waits for the audience response after a "hard" lick. Ohhh yeah, you go girl! Im impressed!

What a fucktard.

...Escapist people, you disappoint me. In one thread you're busy ragging on a (admittedly stupid) christian woman who is prejudiced against same-sex marriage, speaking about "tolerance" and "getting your head out of your ass". And yet this comeson the same page. That's low. What happened to "tolerance", giving people a chance, not making prejudices etc.? That is pretty hypocritical. I'm not angry or trying to whine, I'm just very disappointed.
evereybody listen to this man! Give MCR a chance. Why cant we all get along? Just because something looks different doesnt mean you shouldnt try it!

Someone said they wouldnt see them because of what people were saying and that deffinetly saddens me. People think I am emo because I love MCR and you know what I say to those people? Nothing. Nothing because if you can immedietly make an opinion about someone by what they where or what they are listening to, I feel sorry for you because you could have missed out on meeting an awesome person.

Erm....A bands Image is there for a reason:For people to know what music theyre about to listen to.

And i'd say you will end up growing out of My Chemical Romance.Would i be correct in assuming you are between the age of 14-18?
If so,yeah you should grow out of them in a couple of years.It's like me and Slipknot.Just grew out of them.
There is a wider range of music outside the Mainstream anyway.

Wow. I didnt think someone could be that ignorent. Shall I list the reasons why?

1.
I assume your the usual kind of metal loving/ evereything else hating fanboy? Well here is "Carrot Top"

2. I doubt you can get past 10 let alone 67,785

3. He sure as hell is better than you at guitar.

4. Its called showmenship. Just constent playing is boring. Give personality to your friggen performence. Take Green Day for example. Remember when he took out that super soaker and toilet paper gun, duel weiding them and firing at the audience? Of course you dont because if you think just music is good enough you, your seriously missing out.

*Sigh* Excuse the upcoming mandatory Yahtzee-channeling: "So, I felt the need to dribble out a few qualifying statements". Of course, I'll either make a lot of sense or none at all, and even in a best-case scenario I doubt I can change anyone's mind.
1. I'm turning 18 in a couple of days, so yes, I fall into whatever arbitrary demographics you people might try and base your opinions out from.

2.I barely ever listen to MCR, haven't in half a year now. I prefer Rob Zombie, John 5, Alice Cooper, Rammstein, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Iron Maiden, The Offspring, Smash Mouth, Bowling For Soup and Green Day (and if you're gonna complain that Green Day isn't "real music" or that it is "faggy" then kindly f*** off).

3. Pertaining to point 2, I still have a lot of previous listening experiences to refer to regarding MCR.

4. If you are going to insist that Queensryche/Rush/Generic shitty metal band that is ridiculously overhyped are better than MCR for no bloody reason, you might as well disregard this post.

5. When I say "prejudices" I mean stuff like "those emo fags should stop cutting themselves and make some music with BALL!!!!!!!" and the likes, especially if it comes from someone who hasn't heard more than one song. I'd like to quote a philosophy regarding music a friend told me: You should hear at least three songs (preferrably three from each album, to see if they've gone through major experimentation/style changes).

6. Actually listen to the lyrics before making any comment, please. A little bit of context can help change a lot. For example, The Black Parade is actually a rock opera like American Idiot, and tells a story of a man who lived a life filled with sin and the album is a look into what he remembers of his past after death (what, you didn't think the titles were relevant to anything? Like DEAD! for example?). Might explain why the album sounded a tad bit "whiny".

7. I will actually listen to good points and admit that I am wrong if that is the case (Seems unnecessary to say, but heck, why not)

The fuck are you on about? Some people here say they like em, others say they hate them, what prejudice? Nobody's come on here and said "OMG emo band nedz 2 die & stop whining!!!" or judged them without first listening, some people just don't like the music/attitude of the band, and that's called an opinion not prejudice. You might want to try and learn the difference.

i third this because i listen to enough people complain about their "crappy" life. and i hate cry babies etc in general and their music is lame. it starts with piano saying i hate life and then it turns to hard rock to end up slower then a snail...

Congratulations, your test has stumped me, as with all the others(see what I did there? :D). Alright, yes, I admit that I am soon 18 and I have already "grown out of" MCR, yet it is still pretty good music. I am also fully aware that a band's image is there for people to know what kind of music is played, but lumping all music that sounds sort of like eachother together and applying the same image to them is not something I approve of.
Also, what kind of music are you referring to? I am very curious to find out. I'd be happy to give it a try, because to me it does not matter if it's mainstream or not, I listen to what I think sounds good. Alas, this is already a long-winded rant, better end it.

TL;DR: Stop whining about "Whining"

1. No Im not a metal loving only person. But since you brought it up, yes, Kirk Hammet IS better.

2. Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Mike Kenneally, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, Mike Stern, John Petrucci, Steven Wilson, Tony Iommi, Alex Lifeson, Prince, Slash, Dave Mustaine, Jimmy Hendrix. Theres 15 for you without even thinking about it. A nice mix of musical styles too.

3. No he isn't.

4. Its not showmanship. Its a public display of jerking off. I don't mind showmanship at all. But you have to have something to back it up. Otherwise your just going "weedle weedle weee" on the guitar while trying to look tough and pouting. If I want to see that I'll go watch a Winger video from the 80s. Actually I take that back. Reb Beach was a far superior guitar player compared to this clown. (thats 16)

As far as Green Day goes... Well the American Idiot album was decent enough, but all the stuff before that album I can heard before from the Sex Pistols and the Clash. His super soaker and paper gun were fun. You know what I find the most interesting about Greenday? The 4 musicians that are behind them doing most of the playing while they run around on stage.

But thats just me.

Les Paul. (17, see Im topical too because he just died yesterday)

5. I told my teacher I wanted to learn one of their songs, but he said they were too advanced.



That is actually hilarious!

I dislike them but I don't actively hate them or their fans.

In fact, I've rarely heard a thing about them since I left school. I think that says it all really.

I like the music, dislike the band members.
Favourite song would be To the end.
Favourite album would be the one that song is off, (only album I have)
Seen them live at Download festival.
Don't have a favourite band member.

i like them but there songs kinda blend into eachother. And there fans are sooooo annoying,
they should stop being so depressed cause the music they listen to is actually kinda good and makes me smile.
