My Chemical Romance: 'The Black Parade Is Dead'

My Chemical Romance have set a release date and other details for their long-promised new live CD+DVD set. The record is titled The Black Parade is Dead [Live] and is due out June 24, 2008.

Along with the normal release, the band is planning an extra-fancy version in a pinewood coffin which will include death certificates for each member, hand painted "Day Of The Dead" masks and three downloadable live tracks.

The CD and DVD feature concert highlights from the huge Palacio de los Deportes sports arena in Mexico City on October 7th, 2007 and the intimate Maxwell's club in Hoboken, NJ, on October 24th, 2007. The DVD was directed by Adam Rothlein, whose previous long-form credits include DVDs for Green Day, Disturbed, System of a Down and All-American Rejects.

Thanks for the info to Punknews.org.

[Feel bad inc.]

I think its a bit stupid having all the over the top death stuff, a coffin? Death certificates? Masks? Are those all elements of their live shows and music that much because I never really got a huge impression from what ive heard of them that they really have any reason to do that stuff?

[webbtje]

Here goes the flaming...

At least they killed this gimmick at long last. It really put me off the music.

[Benjibum]

What the hell, people? OK, Fugazi are emo. My Chem are NOT emo! So their lyrics are a little whiney, you are just selling yourselves short if you wont listen to their awesome music just because of a stupid label... I want one of those coffins haha

[Guitar Sushi]

They are a punk band trying to depict Death Metal themes. It's pathetic.

[NemX162]

I'd rather see some new, not Black Parade, stuff.

[daniel coogan]

i wish they released music like their first album, when people actually had some form of minor respect for them.

[wicked_hobbit]

I'm not actually fan, but in my humble opinion, I think they aren't that horrible. They may need a better singer but the music is acceptable. Unfortunately, it's not cool for people to like them so this explains all the flaming.

Might get this if there is nothing else on the shelves that can satisfy my music DVD hunger.

Btw, do I miss something or did System of A Down really release a DVD?

The DVD was directed by Adam Rothlein, whose previous long-form credits include DVDs for Green Day, Disturbed, System of a Down and All-American Rejects.

[jonnyharris1]

seriously, why do people get so wound up to have to wish death on bands for their form of expression. Its just music, nothing more , nothing less if you dont like it then listen to something else.
Also what is the obsession with arguing about 'if they're emo or not'; who gives a toss, if you do you seriosuly need to find more constuctive ways to use your time.

lololol.
death certificates.

[Time Seller]

Awful gimmick, IMO.

not punk

anyways, this might be interesting.

i hope what it really means is that the black parade is really dead and that theyre working on a new album.

and i hope that means that itll be more like their first two, but i know that probably wont happen.

[ozoneslayer]

noo not eemooooo

[isabiggles]

haven't we had enough My Chemical Romance on this site. i'm tired of hearing the same old story about MCR and other pop bands. i want to hear about some new metal bands and underground metal.

[hew-jass]

anyone read the article bout the girl killing herself cuz she wanted to go to the black parade

type in emo for the news then emo music attacked over teen suicide or summin

bin looking forward to this cuz the last live one was pretty good

=]

[ZAPPA J_RULZ]

I'm not actually fan, but in my humble opinion, I think they aren't that horrible. They may need a better singer but the music is acceptable

agreed i heard a couple of thier songs without realising it was mcr and then said "hey this is quite good, but the chick singing really sucks" true story. so yeh alright music, very bad singer.

[fede01_8]

another live album in less than 3 years?

[rockoutwithyour]

flamers are lame, if you dont like the band then why comment on the article?

[the1]

MCR are just a great rock band, nothing more and nothing less. Emo is a load of crap placed on any mainstream band with an image to their name

This should be a great set- an OTT Black Parade Set and an intimate gig

[J.Priest]

They shouldnt have themes. A band is a band, thats it. Sounds to me like they dont like the Black Parade....so why did they record it? I dont get this band. Im sick and tired of hearing this band 24/7!

[iplayguitar0001]

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
I'm only 12 and havent seen them live and i still am excited!!!!!

[Themaddoctor]

Lol I skipped the article just to read the flaming, then read the article. Good for them releasing a DVD.

[Trynstopme]

-sigh-

i clicked the article saying "maybe they broke up"
read two sentences. and scrolled down to post my disappointment.

The MCR trend needs to die -.-''

[Gamoc]

To be honest, if you're commenting on an article about a band you don't like just to insult either the band or their fans, you're a bloody moron. MCR are good musicians, they do good songs, I don't really like them that much but there's a few of their songs that are great. It's immature of you to comment just to flame and insult the way most of you have been. And Deflection: You're wrong.

[Gamoc]

And it's not a trend, it's a band that people like.

There is also no reason for Alice Cooper to chop his own head off, but he did it anyway, its their image cmon man...

[future_rock_god]

I'm glad that they're finally moving on. I liked the Black Parade for its theatrics so this is a gracious way to end it.
Looking forward to new material more than live stuff though.

[Link12]

I don't get it,all this death crap.Not meaning to offend anyone,but bands like this should just drop out of the spotlight and make room for REAL bands.

yeah..
muchas gracias..

[Gamoc]

Also, 'emo' music is not 'mainstream' because there's no 'emo' music in the mainstream. MCR certainly aren't emo.

And why do so many of you anti-mcr people seem to be so homophobic as well? Hiding something are we? In Narnia are we?

[vo2oad]

This just proves how stupid people on this site are. You come into this article to diss on MCR when you don't even know shit about them. I bet you all that hate them are so much better than them, let's see you sell cd's to as many people as them and be famous and such. If it's so "easy" why are you sitting here on an online forum?

Hahahahaha! Me too. I knew this article wouldn't be anything good cause I can't stand this type of music.. Flaming may be immature but its still funny.

[Onzaso]

(Sorry for double-post, but here is my Real comment)

Uh.. How would you NOT classify this band as emo?
Death certificates? Coffins? DEATH, DEATH, DEATH!
Its sure as hell not up-beat rock/pop.
My poor sister is getting into this kind of stuff.. I just hope she doesn't kill herself like the poor girl I read about the other day...

[Gamoc]

So are vampire movies emo then? Death, coffins, blood?
Emo is cutting yourself to deal with emotional pain (or, if you're a poser, to get attention) I've never heard anything about this in MCR (ignoring the first album, as I haven't heard it). Death, coffins, blood and such like is macabre/horror/gothic/dark/whatever you want.

[Anonymouslyours]

these guys arent emo.
the lyrics are whiney at times but theyre not emo.
im actually a fan of my chem but this whole Black Parade idea kinda turned me off of them for a while. im hoping the next album will be something like theire first two where the flamers werent as abundant

[CrazyPigeon]

Oh dear. The title was a bit misleading. I thought the awful, awful album by an awful, awful band was dead. Damn shame if you ask me.

[yoursweatersux]

This thread has officially two types of people in it:

1. Insecure 15-18 year olds that hate on MCR because it's cool to hate on MCR and they don't want to be considered "uncool" by all the other scene kids. Whether they're conscious of the fact that their thoughts are being manipulated by those around them or it's totally under their radar, the fact is they hate MCR mostly because it's cool to. In fact, they hate anything labeled "emo" or remotely associated with it, because it's cool to hate on all emo. These are the type of kids that are scared to like anything remotely out of the level of "scene acceptance". They'll say something like "Well that one song on guitar hero is kinda cool... oh you think it sucks? Well I mean, it's cool for such a lame band... I don't really like it that much either."

2. Rabid 15-18 year fanboys that would defend MCR to their death and shun all criticizers of the band. They usually stick to lame arguments like "Well you can't talk because you haven't sold a million bajillion records!" as if that's a relevant point. These people are just as lame as the scene kids that are scared to admit they like MCR.

Frankly, idk which side bothers me more. I'm gonna have to go with group #1, because at least the fanboys stand for something.

Exactly man people are letting music control their lives way too much

[metalguy001]

For all those who say that MCR are not emo...please explain this..."wouldn't it be grand to take a pistal by the hand and wouldn't it be great if we were dead."

not emo at all is it =/

because gullible 12 year old girls have a lot of money these days!

Emo or not... i like MCR's latest album better than their others...
MCR is good in my opinion and that's all i give a shit about!

Well put.

As for me, I wouldn't exactly consider myself as one of the "group 2" kids. I love MCR but i'm not an a*shole about it.
I'm definitely going to buy this. Black Parade is one of my all time favorite albums and their live performances are great.

Did you miss yesterday's article?? It was posted on this site. Now w/all of the over-the-top dead stuff it's no wonder why the parents blamed MCR for a role in the girl's suicide. Not that the parents are correct, however, this description of the DVD just merits the parents' whole argument. Smart move MCR smart move...

Thank God someone realizes the truth.

[darkfrost12]

i saw muse open for them, of course muse was better, but MCR puts on a good show. From a musician/songwriters point of view it is a good album. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 personally. BTW the whole death theme in the album is related to cancer so emo people kill themselves with cancer? I'm confused. If this is emo than so is David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Pink Floyd, their biggest influences for this record.

checked.

I quote the ALMIGHTY (seriously) S.O.D.

"Here's a bucket, go and kick it, slit your wrists without a sound"
"Kill yourself, kill yourself, why don't you kill yourself? Don't rely on no one else, end it all and kill yourself"

If I follow your logic, then most death metal bands and hell, Slayer for that matter (Mandatory Suicide) who write about suicide and death, are emo? Come on...

I'm really looking forward to this DVD release. I'm just hoping that the director doesn't do the same thing he did with Green Day's "Bullet In A Bible" DVD, where the longest camera shot is about 2 seconds. In spite of all that, that was a really powerful live DVD, but the constant chopping cuts detracted from it quite a bit. Here's hoping that the guy is drinking less coffee these days and has scale back his amphetimine intake.

[ESP73]

Slayer's Mandatory Suicide isn't based off of suicide per se.....If you think about it, the song relates to people signing up for the military..hence mandatory suicide..going to war. And as for MCR...don't care for the band. I don't see no reason why people in this particular forum need to be censored to tell what they feel in here. If you feel that MCR is emo...then thats that for that side and the same goes for the other side of the coin. Freedom of speech ladies and gentlemen! That is one of the many things that is being hindered in this particular forum. And to add about the teenage girl that hung herself just because her parents thought that MCR planted a subliminal suicide tendency,I have 3 words for those that are ignorant...GIMME A BREAK!!!! I've been listening to heavy metal and I'm not killing myself or going on a murderous spree. It's all in the mind and how parents need a crash course in parenting.

being a good musician has nothing to do with selling cds most of the best guitarists don't sell many cds and aren't well known, + powercords arn't hard

Now lets go and listen to biffy, muse smashing pumpkins which make MCR look crap

[ESP73]

Stupidity has nothing to do with it! Get your head out from your fourth point of contact and stop assuming that we, the people hate MCR. Everyone is entitled to what they think and if you don't like that then log out so that intelligent people can carry a conversation in here

[ESP73]

I wonder how many in this forum are teenagers that have very little concept of life today thinking that MCR is the best thing in their lives since sliced bread?

[Tabassco]

I know it's just a music band. But you can't deny that it's totally over the top. Death coffins and certificates are so ridiculous you get scared of it. They're maybe a good band, but instead of telling kids they want to die, they should be a band that tells the youth to go out and have fun, make friends, not cut their wrists...

[i_am_metalhead]

Welcome to the Black Parade was a huge disappointment... I Brought You My Bullets was an amazing album, Three Cheers was okay, and Black Parade was just blah! Hopefully they start writing good music again.

[mike elf]

I like them.

Accrding to the previous set of new stories, somebody DID
TBH, I'm a bit apathetic towards the band - a few songs on Three Cheers I liked, but apart from that, I get by without.

[ESP73]

Like I said before...it's all in the mind...teenagers these days don't listen to parents and rely on musical influence or peer influence to guide them and solve their problems. Parents need to take a firm grasp of their childrens lives before someone or something else will. I'm sure anyone in here would agree with that

[wrighty11]

i think its a nice way to end the album style,
becasue gerard way tlked about how he liked teh theatrical side of music from badns like iron maiden and such,
so hes realy showing his commitment which is quite rare in music these days

hes got a damn good point.If people like a band they like them,and you shouldnt slag them,but people shouldnt be so fanatic abnout a band that they sociall reject themselves to maintain an image.Also, hate to be mean, but have people "who no-one understands" ever heard of teenage angst?It happens to us all,some bands just make it seem like they dragged angsty teens out of their rut

[MegaRon]

I don't really understand why people bash MCR. I mean, they're not the best band in the world, but they're not bad. I'd take the Black Parade and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge over some of the other shit I've heard in the mainstream or underground any day.

[tommy_jack]

amazing, this is an awsome band but there has been no new songs for a while, finallythis is awsome.

[mr.glavin]

i care not

[hokiecmo]

Who cares what genre it is? There's 2 genres to me: music I love and music I don't like so much. I like the Black Parade but not much before that.

[SURFraptor7]

As much as I LOVE concept albums, I can't stand the actual music. I actually listened to the whole thing one time and tried to keep an open mind, but yeah, wasn't feelin' it.

Plus, I saw their Teenagers music video and it's basically The Wall with incredibly shitty music. Which is an atrocity.

[silent caution]

i dont like emo but just for the record...i'd rather have the white 12-14 year olds listenin to emo "rock" then rap

[arcticradiohead]

haha i skipped the article too...

it seems like if somebody doesnt like something they automatically call it emo. (hahaha ive been told jack white's emo) im not into MCR but like, they're really aren't that bad either. i can think of plenty of worse bands.

[KenMasters]

I think that homophobia is basically rooted from the fact that homophobic people are quite gay inside of them and they are just afraid to admit it. That is the only way i good think of someone would call MCR a gay band.
The Back Parade let me down a bit but i can always listen to 3 Cheers and go nuts...

[Gibjian]

wow. everyone who said MCR isnt emo is a retard. Theyre one of the most emo bands i know.

[qotsa1998]

Interesting. Depending on the price, I think ill eventually have this in my house. Altho i dunno if ill be buying it. MCR is actually one of the least emo bands i kno. Listen to some Chiodos, old Atreyu is also pretty emo-ish, even tho i like it myself. There are some far more emo bands.

[MCRkid22]

Ugh... This is such a stupid gimmick. They've officially managed to piss a fan off. This is a giant money move! It's way too early in their career to consider two ****ing live albums. Why would they do this???

Anyway... Their first CD is orgasmic, second one was the after sex ciggerette (enjoyable, but not as good) and the third one was the pregnancy.

This is the abortion.

[.:!j.man!:.]

I started getting into them... then the black parade was released and I instantly hated them from that point on.

The lead singer cries in almost every song and unfortunatly for me it hangs over there other albums.

I'll never listen to an MCR record again.

[Stiney]

Lol saome people on here are really obsessed with MCR, TheAngryMob875 I'm looking at you pal. I bet they go home at night after hanging around with thier freinds, tear off the metalica t-shirt they have on, lock thier bedroom door, get out thier secret stash of eye liner and listen to the black parade all night long.

I don't really like the band, just not my kind of music, but saying they are crap just because they play up to the whingey "poor me" emo-esc persona is just stupid. I mean Nirvana were the masters of whingey self pitying american sob rock and their music was fukking briliant. If you want to critisise them make some proper comments on thier music not just how they dress. like I say it's not my cup of tea but they are decent musicians, the lyrics are above average when compared to other mainstream pop bands out there, and that song teenagers is a banging little tune.

[Darkened_Mirror]

MCR are ruining the music industry..

i dont really. sure parents should have controll, but you make it sound like a dictatorship. parents should learn to trust their children and vis versa. its not entirely the parents fault if their kid kills theirself. and kids shouldnt be stupid enough to fall into peer pressure

[SophieLikesMCR]

I'm looking forward to this release. I think MCR did a really good job with the whole concept 'The Black Parade', and this dvd is a fine way to wrap it up and move on.

*ignores flamers with no life*

I'm still hoping for a single for Mama. The song is great, love the whole concept of Mother War ect.

Well im sorry now thats just wrong... saying how the band is influenced is how they turn out just isnt correct. Nickelback's biggest influence is Alice in Chains, and i'll be damned if you say that's the same sound. Also, fall out boy's biggest influence is pantera... not flaming them, just saying that they are nothing alike

why are these guys obsessed with death

ive seen them live and tbh they were pretty poor, i ouldnt buy this when there are decent live dvds like HAARP out ( i was there 2 )

Although I'm not a fan of MCR either, I couldn't agree with you anymore...it gets tiring seeing the comments section flooded with nonsensical opinions that usually have nothing to do with article.

Totally with you. +10

[Captain Cool]

I want to sound open minded, but I cant really do that and dislike MCR as much as I do at the same time. They really have no imagination, they must be one of the most unoriginal bands on the planet. I know I should be above the hating stuff but when i see an MCR article I just cant help myself. Its bands like them that make hardworking musicians who havent had the lucky break want to pack it all up.

Whether they're conscious of the fact that their thoughts are being manipulated by those around them or it's totally under their radar, the fact is they hate MCR mostly because it's cool to. In fact, they hate anything labeled "emo" or remotely associated with it, because it's cool to hate on all emo. These are the type of kids that are scared to like anything remotely out of the level of "scene acceptance". They'll say something like "Well that one song on guitar hero is kinda cool... oh you think it sucks? Well I mean, it's cool for such a lame band... I don't really like it that much either."

2. Rabid 15-18 year fanboys that would defend MCR to their death and shun all criticizers of the band. They usually stick to lame arguments like "Well you can't talk because you haven't sold a million bajillion records!" as if that's a relevant point. These people are just as lame as the scene kids that are scared to admit they like MCR.

Frankly, idk which side bothers me more. I'm gonna have to go with group #1, because at least the fanboys stand for something.

THANK YOU!

cool. i might get it not sure. i wanna get it!

i dont really. sure parents should have controll, but you make it sound like a dictatorship. parents should learn to trust their children and vis versa. its not entirely the parents fault if their kid kills theirself. and kids shouldnt be stupid enough to fall into peer pressure

alot of kids that kill themselfs have bad parents,, just saying...messed up family = messed up kid (usually)

No, but seriously, I LOVE My Chemical Romance. This'll be SWEET!

[inferi596]

this album was absolutely amazing and one of my favorite of all time but i heard they're not so great live. speaking of "the black parade is dead" i don't think it'll sell too well because it kind of is dead, it's been a long time since it's release and i dont think ppl are gonna be all over it. what they need to be doing is working on a new album and stop exploiting the hell out of this one.

[Danejerez]

"the band is planning an extra-fancy version in a pinewood coffin which will include death certificates for each member, hand painted "Day Of The Dead" masks"

...And on that article yesterday people were saying how MCR doesn't advocate death or suicide in anyway.

All music aside, I can definitely see how an already slightly disturbed preteen girl could be influenced by this kind of obssessive subculture associated with bands like this.

[CFHguitar]

thats interesting how they were saying that they no longer wanted to put out the message of death and that they sang about living and shit and now THE BLACK PARADE IS DEAD OOO! and they have all the coffin shit. i like how they contradict themselves twice. i did like three cheers however and used to like the first one whatever it was called. not buying this new release

[Jonny616]

Personally, I hate MCR and their style. In my head they're just a group of sad 20-30 year olds who act like immature little teenagers writing lyrics about suicide and death and how much life sucks but even for that image, this is a low. I mean, coffins? masks? death certificates?! Why would anyone even WANT to buy that kinda stuff?

Although, admittedly, they do manage to attract their target audience well (based on the hundreds of 12 year old girls I see going on about things like 'zomg! mcr r like..so gd! lololol!!!!111!!!!')

Still doesn't really change the fact they need to grow up...

[k0r105]

its funny how angry everyone gets

[girl-tarist]

yay... i wana get this dvd.... however, the special edition is a bit tooo.... not cool. hahaha.

[KenMasters]

I thing the only reason someone would call MCR emo and gay, is just because they are themselves... lol man, three cheers is a hell of a good time! the black parade is mediocre except for Famous last words

[fireyqwerty]

woo hoo! ive been waiting for a realease for ages awesome, its three days from my bday! special edition here i come

[The Spoon]

If its like Life on the Murder Scene, i might get it

This site is just absolutely full of pathetic elitists.

It's just music, get something better to complain about *sigh*

It's funny how everyone calls them emo for the death obssession.
Death Metal?? By that logic, that's emo too

[KennethJay]

Funny how everyone classifies goth ish as emo now

[blink182plus44]

I hate the community here except in the pit, cause thats the only place they aren't calling something or someone gay.

being a good musician has nothing to do with selling cds most of the best guitarists don't sell many cds and aren't well known, + powercords arn't hard

i saw muse open for them, of course muse was better, but MCR puts on a good show. From a musician/songwriters point of view it is a good album. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 personally. BTW the whole death theme in the album is related to cancer so emo people kill themselves with cancer? I'm confused. If this is emo than so is David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Pink Floyd, their biggest influences for this record.

Well im sorry now thats just wrong... saying how the band is influenced is how they turn out just isnt correct. Nickelback's biggest influence is Alice in Chains, and i'll be damned if you say that's the same sound. Also, fall out boy's biggest influence is pantera... not flaming them, just saying that they are nothing alike

Nobody is right or wrong, its all opinion! I never said anything about the sound, I was talking about the theme of the album, a disillusioned boy who is dying of cancer. The Wall was about many things but mainly about Roger Waters being disillusioned over his hardships, money, fame, groupies, tough life. Lou Reed had an album all about cancer. There are countless Bowie themes, especially drawn from Ziggy Stardust.

theres a lot of retards on this forum.

the black parade was a concept album. how many of you ****wits are pink floyd fans? remember back when they used huge inflatable sheep at live shows and shit? prog is all about this sort of thing, so when they say theyre bringing out a special edition of the album with coffins and death certificates, its all part of the concept, just like the old days of prog rock and concept albums. personally im GLAD to see there are still bands keeping prog and the concept album alive.

...

the black parade album has a great storyline and concept, and if bands are keeping prog rock alive and coming up with new ideas just like back in the 70's, then im all for it.

How are they new ideas if they are "just like back in the sixties"
I believe "prog" has to do with progressing new ideas in music etc. Copying ideas from the 70's isn't "prog", if anything, it's the opposite.

i feel like mcr is the new kiss.... it's all about selling stuff and making money... having every song based around death is fine whatever do it but i mean masks? coffin? death certificates? those uniforms they have. it's all gimmick and made to sell music and a lot of the fans give into it

[food&liquor]

I actually don't mind these guys anymore. I used to hate how pretensious the leadsinger's antics/voice/lyrics were but I listened to the Black Parade; it's actually half decent right.

Still, they should get a decent bassist, have the leadsinger sign up for vocal lessons, and get rid of the makeup. Then they'd be at 5 times better.

[food&liquor]

*Then they'd be at LEAST 5 times as better.

[Beakwithteeth]

lol, they actually release live albums???

I saw them live on TV they are the most awful live band I have ever seen, mostly their singer he f*cks the whole thing up.

And the death certificate thing is cute, they are so hardcore.

[wombcat]

This is the one thing that I don't like about this site. In all of these forums, it seems like there is always a bunch of people who have differing tastes in music and just go to the extreme on everything. People think that because some music is more complicated or involves more skill in playing that it is somehow better or deserves more respect. Music doesn't have to be difficult to be good. More often than not, it is the simplest music that is the most beautiful. Even if My Chemical Romance played only power chords (which they don't, but some people say that they do), would it matter, if the power chords were arranged the right way. Also, My Chemical Romance is popular, and this is one indication that they have talent and do make good music. Bands don't just get popular for no reason and the "underground" scene has quite a few bands that aren't quite good enough to gain fame. Most of this is only my opinion, but I do know for a fact that the music nation (if that is how you want to put it) could not be tricked, somehow, into not only listening to bad music, but also enjoying that bad music. I know that this site is not a meeting ground for the elite of the music world. There is not a single person here who knows everything about music and everyone is biased in one way or another (including myself). I just don't like how I can't read an article on My Chemical Romance and see posts like "cool, can't wait for the new album," or "I'll be seeing them next weekend, can't wait for the concert." In an MCR article there is always so much anger and frustration. People are telling each other to die and I don't think that conversations about music should be that way. Most of this is just my opinion, as I said before, but I hope I have made a point.

Hm, good post.


Anyway, just thought I'd kinda put my own thought in here, that even though they say the 'black parade is dead' they're still playing up all this 'Black Parade' related stuff. (BTW while the coffin/death certificate idea is new and pretty intense, I think that could easily offend people.... Just a thought!) I'm wondering what they'll do when they're over this 'Black Parade' business. Liiiike....what are they going to do?

ur an idiot underground is usually were the good bands are who arent sellouts

While I can understand and appreciate that you don't enjoy their music, I do not appreciate being called an idiot for expressing my opinion. The underground does have some shitty bands, I'm sorry to say. You may claim they're good because they haven't "sold out", but that doesn't mean they won't in the future or that they're any good because of it. But then, who am I to criticize someone else's way of judging music?

You obviously don't realize that teenagers today don't give a rat's arse about trust. It should be that parents should have a sense of control regardless if you think it sounds like a dictatorship. But you should know that teenagers are having sex and having babies well before the time was right or going out on a killing spree or any other example that I can't think of. I think IMO that if a teenager gets out of line with the parents, I say deal with them old school style of punishment...a good ol' fashioned whuping and none of this time out BS. Doing time outs was invented wimps and sissies that don't know how to control their child. And how can you say that it's not the parent's fault? If they don't recognize trouble signs, then they have failed in communicating and raising this child. Child and parents should have a good talk with each other to understand each other and evolve from that. And if I cross the line on the remark of how punishment should be admonished, well I was the recipent of many when I was a kid, but when I got older, I had a better head on my shoulders.

bwahaha i love all of the people baching MCR.
I actually think they're pretty great. i just started to get into them with the black parade, then i found three cheers, then my mom started listening to them and we both went to their concert. They put on one of the most intense concerts ive ever been to.
just wanted to throw that out there.

Its ok if a band wants to tell a story with their album, and after hearing three cheers for sweet revenge i thought they could, however, when i heard it, i didnt like it. Their shows are also way too over the top now. Their stage show sucks now because they got to do this over the top black parade bullshit, there was only three songs on that album i could even stand, that album was a perfect example of b.s. emo.

Btw, do I miss something or did System of A Down really release a DVD?

The DVD was directed by Adam Rothlein, whose previous long-form credits include DVDs for Green Day, Disturbed, System of a Down and All-American Rejects.

"Scream" I think was the closet thing to having a dvd and if they played at ozzfest ( i think they did) than maybe the guy on the camera was Adam Rothlein..never know?

I rather enjoy MCR's stuff, but it's something you have to be in the right mood for. Most people have labeled them emo, but I don't agree; it's because they have their own sound that there's so much arguing over what they sound most like. I think just take each band as it is, and don't discriminate against any band just because they sound somewhat emo/rock/country/jazz whatever.

[.6.bullets.]

I love MyChem, and although TBP felt a bit too tryhard-over-the-top theatrcial, the DVD does seem like a suitable end to that era of their image.
I'm really looking forward to stuff more like Bullets/Revenge in the band's future though.

And I feel very sorry for the insecure kids who feel the need to flame any band because they think it makes them 'cool'. Give it a rest children...

If MCR had more "I'm Not Okay" style high-paced higher powered punk, I would love them...It just gets annoying to hear of the death... I mean, I can ignore eyeliner and its fine if the music is good.
Seriously though,
death certificates?
masks?
They need to change their target audience, IMO...

[Exxol]

MCR isnt terrible because of the emo.. I listen to metal, and even I liked the first cd, for a couple weeks anyways...

they arent doing anything new, the music is trendy and boring... and the target audience is obviously 14 and under.. MCR is garbage music, if you kiddies want to hear REAL 'death', go look up "lack of comprehension" on youtube.. the only thing involving MCR that should die is that whiny little emo fag lead-singer.

I can't believe people bash Chinese Democracy and favor this emo MCR act. -_-

Fugazi are emo. But their musical tastes show influences of grunge, noise rock, garage rock, and even a bit of jazz.

MCR is the modern cliche pop rock emo bullshit you hear on the radio everyday that relies way too heavily on their image and trend than on their own music. MCR isn't rock. They're pop. Deal with it. Distorted Pop is all these dicks are.

[koolfoolinapool]

This band is targeted towards obsessive scene kids and emo kids. Most of the time it's chicks who think the singer or guitarist or whatever is "hot".

That's who they market towards.

And that's the dumbasses who listen to em.

Not a very big fan, actually I don't really like them at all, but that skeleton's a sweet logo.

This is like beating a dead horse with a dead squirrel

[LynchMobster]

i really wouldnt consider MCR emo. i dont really think emo is even a legit genre. if emo is emotional rock, then why arent half of all rock bands emo. whats wrong with emotion. Metallica's song Fade to black is about suicide, but everyone knows they are not emo. Alice in Chains wrote a song about suicide, they are not emo. and if you think talking about death makes them emo, then does death metal=emo? i dont think so, but i may be wrong. and to be honest, i dont mind MCR. their guitarist i pretty good, but theyrs singer is annoying

[Scratch101]

This is sad
Until the Black Parade, MCR was just another band now they're a rock icon. I liked them more when they were just MCR, but them becoming the Black Parade was a good thing. The first time I saw the video on Mtv It was awesome, apparently more awesome than I thought, the album went platinum, and now half the people at my school are MCR fans. Now they are taking what made them famous and destroying it. I think the emoness inside of them (Which by the way is inside of everyone) has told them that this fame was taking them away from the band they were. So maybe its a good thing MCR's throwing away their alot of their fame with "The Black Parade". I'll probabally buy this DVD.

By the way to all you bastards that just keep saying MCR is emo on these forums,

Emo is what people like nowadays. If you hate emos and went to profess your hate for emotion on the internet, you can start a website for emo-hate, and stay out of these damn forums.

[rock_out_loud11]

omg!!! This band was kinda good at first but now they SUCK!! their music is lame now and all they do anymore is scream its rediculous. i mean if you want the real emo rock stuff dont listen to mcr they need to learn what real music is!!!!!

[rock_out_loud11]

oh and its not the cool kinda screaming its the annoying buzzing sound that wont go away!

[kaykay323]

man...i miss the old mcr.

they have always been on the emo, death obsessed side, but they were still more about the music.

Then the world cried over gerard cutting and bleaching his hair. Then this load of crap they called "the black parade" came out, and now they are so off track. Their music is quite pointless, and most of the long time fans of mcr have moved on, seeing as mcr has moved on out of the "good music" stage of their career.
Now it seems like they are so superficial, and just death obsessed because somehow it is "cool"

[ethan is hot]

silent caution makes a great point

[Bananapatata]

has anyone thought that the
death certificates represent the death of their pseudo band name "The Black Parade", as opposed to some gimmick embracing death - meaning they won't be playing the music you all hate. so you should be happy, not fr

[Wesseem]

hey guys i just made a band with some friends. We dress up all in black and paint our faces white and then we make songs based on how sad and how wretched the world is, but then we realized someone beat us to it.

This thread has officially two types of people in it:

1. Insecure 15-18 year olds that hate on MCR because it's cool to hate on MCR and they don't want to be considered "uncool" by all the other scene kids. Whether they're conscious of the fact that their thoughts are being manipulated by those around them or it's totally under their radar, the fact is they hate MCR mostly because it's cool to. In fact, they hate anything labeled "emo" or remotely associated with it, because it's cool to hate on all emo. These are the type of kids that are scared to like anything remotely out of the level of "scene acceptance". They'll say something like "Well that one song on guitar hero is kinda cool... oh you think it sucks? Well I mean, it's cool for such a lame band... I don't really like it that much either."

2. Rabid 15-18 year fanboys that would defend MCR to their death and shun all criticizers of the band. They usually stick to lame arguments like "Well you can't talk because you haven't sold a million bajillion records!" as if that's a relevant point. These people are just as lame as the scene kids that are scared to admit they like MCR.

Frankly, idk which side bothers me more. I'm gonna have to go with group #1, because at least the fanboys stand for something.

Funny thing is, this is a guitar website, and other genres have guitars too. Surprise? I'd really like to see some jazz news, that'd be different.

Jazz would be different, but I don't think the people here can handle such complicated music, they have to stick to their power chords and speed picking, heheheh.

MCR are the Queen for a new generation.

I'm a moderately big fan (seen 3 times, before Three Cheers, just after the Black Parade, and Download fest), and they're one of the most impressive live bands I've seen to date. Gerard Way creates a connection with every member of the audience, and everyone leaves with smiles on their face.

As to my Queen comment (which I'm predicting getting spammed for):

MCR started off as a fairly run of the mill band, before adding theatrical elements into their music, and suddenly becoming huge.

Queen started off as a fairly run of the mill band, before adding theatrical elements into their music, and suddenly becoming huge.

Not only that, but both have enigmatic lead singers, awesome guitars with some kickass solo's, and incredible bass and drums too.

And to defend my point: My mother, 53, saw Queen 3 times with Freddie, and she was the first person to point out the MCR/Queen connection to me.

I'm just hoping the DVD can truly capture just how awesome the band are live.

Honestly, can nobody like multiple genres? My two favorite bands are Iron Maiden and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and I payed $70 to go to a Hank Williams Jr. concert last night. Even with those, MCR is still in my top ten favorite. You don't have to listen to just Death Metal...

Well for crying out loud does no one have any respect for anyone else anymore. This is becoming beyond a joke, I'm growing really sick of closed minded "metalheads" who bash any band that seems to get big because they feel they aren't as cool to like a band more accepted by modern culture. Don't get me wrong I have no disliking for people who like metal just those ho close themselves off in a let metal buble and bash anone else, I'm sure you all know what I mean. MCR have become bigger than almost any other band on the plannet at the moment (I mean at the moment not just in general) because of there resonance with there fans and the fact that they actually have something to say. ^^^^^Robcarty ^^^^^ is an example of the jackasses that nead to grow up. It's a great shame that open minded seems to be dying, it seems as soon as someone does something new and different nowadays they get moaned at. and yeah that thing with theat girl commiting suicide, the media and the parents to be honest and I will put this bluntly and unashamebley to the point, ARE MAKING UP AN EXCUSE FOR POOR PARENTING, that may seem heartless but understand this, when her parents saw marks on her wrists and didn't talk to her seriously about it and ignored her when she said she was going to kill herself, well what does that suggest! she had been listening to MCR for 2 weeks for crying out loud, how can you blame a death on My Chemical Romance, it's lunacy, how dare the media jump to such shit and how dare they print things about the stereotype emo as fact!!!!
anyhow, try to be more open minded about bands, not everyone wants death metal or even metal for that fact, I love all kinds of music and I don't care if someone thinks my taste in music is cool or not.
So to those close minded idiots out there I leave you with this

DUde thier band is called 'My chemical romance' their aulbum was called 'Black parade' These are all elements of death. If you like the band this is what you get. Coffins, Death certs and masks. Duuuuhhhhh

[AdamX-plorer]

Thats good My Chemical Romance is probably the only good punk band out right now and dont be fooled by the songs you here on the radio or in music videos if you get their cds youll see that 80% of their music is hardcore punk rather then the pop/emo/rock that you see on tv

ok, I only got to FUGAZI is an EMO band.

Fugazi was around before you were born, and certianly before EMO was even a term.

Give yourselves 10 years, and look back to how stupid all you kids are for arguing over words and bands.

Just look at the majority of posts on here.....its like a buhch of 11 year olds arguing who is the coolest.

[Tedward]

you guys *most* metal bands have a right to say that their music /musically/ is better than sellout conforming whiney emo bands, as well as most sellout conforming rap groups, as well as even most sellout conforming rock bands.

sure metal bands are conforming, however they are conforming to the world of metal. unlike previously mentioned who are having their anuses(sp?) reamed by the industry and making music to please 13 year old kids.

how many 50 year olds love MCR?
how many 10 year olds are going to in 40 years?

I strengthen my argument with Megadeth. at Gigantour yesterday i came across anyone from 7 years old to 60 years old to some guys in wheelchairs with breathing tubes down their neck.

Metal gives people hope that there are people that are like them, but not gay fags or kids going with the *movement*.

And Metal, along with some types of less hard rock and some rap, techno, etc, is definitely a hundred times more skilled than a lot of this pop-rock and hip-hop.
The fact that almost any metal song, bar some grindcore, can be directly translated into Classical music, if played by say a symphony orchestra, and keep anyones attention. Thats one of the few ways i apply whether a band is good or not (imo of course)

but to the point, dont say that "metalheads" are cocky or elitist, for one reason.

WE ARE RIGHT

btw jazz = elevator music

ps MCR had a good rock thing going for them with 3 cheers for sweet revenge, but this CD killed not only their reputation, but a generation of children.

[Tedward]

oh and to ierostyle if that girl was listening to good music she wouldnt have killed herself because she would have had something worth living for.

[Madman1444]

jazz=elevator music?

im pretty shure all the qualitys that you described as good about metal can be found in jazz or many other types of music.

oh and saying you not cocky or elitist cause your right is SO not cocky

i try not to prejudge music, i go by what i hear. im not a huge MCR fan but i can see how people like them.

and i do seriously doubt a girl killing herself has anything to do with the music she listens to...

suicide involves much deeper problems than music taste..

I would buy this if any of the members of this band had the slightest idea of how to string notes together properly. Awful Awful song writing. really just terrible.

"Guys, Let's release a new album.."
"I KNOW WE'LL CALL IT 'The Black Parade is DEAD"

Chain of thought = Retarded

[archangelseren]

thats not fair... i deserve a refund..... fine ile say it... i will buy this but i dont care much for the masks... like how afi brought out seperate booklets with their faces on them so people would buy the album 4 times (i think that was the idea) i wonder who will buy it 5 times?

[s6k]

ill say it once again morons, the death certificates and masks are to fit in with the CONCEPT of the album. you remember concept albums? like when pink floyd dressed up for the Wall tour and such? the concept was that it wasnt my chemical romance performing the black parade, it was The Black Parade.

since thats the last album they will be doing as the black parade, the black parade is now dead, and they will go back to bring mcr.

grow a brain

[s6k]

and also, tedward, you complete retard. jazz = elevator music? is that why Miles Davis has outsold any of your favourite metal bands?

jazz is far more complex than any metal bands music. when was the last time you saw a metal band performing in the key of Eb with a locrian mode? GTFO
and whats this about metal can be played with an orchestra?
do you know why jazz cant be performed with an orchestra? because jazz is IMPROVISED, it changes key all the time. good luck trying to keep up with a piece of jazz music using an orchestra

you also need to grow a brain

That would be the lowest form and you have not opened yourself to true Jazz yet, if you're a guitarist, you need to try it, you won't believe it, heh.

[kthxbi]

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say the comment section of every MCR / FOB / PATD article is like this. You have 45% of the people being fanboys and saying how 'if you're so great then why don't YOU release a record this successful?', and then they're arguing with the 45% of generally metalheads who go on about how unoriginal and untalented and selloutish the band is. Then there's 9% who try to actually put sensible comments forward, and 1% who are posting on the wrong topic.

I'm not an MCR fan, but the amount of abuse they and their fans get is just stupid. Their first album was pretty good, I don't listen to it but I would rather hear that than some of that technically incredible innovative supermusic which the underground is turning out at the minute. Sure, I think everyone should be allowed to express their own opinion, but most of the people hating on MCR here probably haven't ever heard more than one song.

miles davis, duke ellington, john coltrane, exceptions. In my school jazz band i play trumpet and we have to listen to albums all the time for marks and Kind Of Blue is very good, Path Metheny is absolute shit. Im being completely honest my dad came in the room and asked me why am i listening to elevator music.

and to LonelySyn i actually dont mind improvising jazz solos they are allright.

im only saying that the skill level needed to bring out emotions in a listener is VASTLY GREATER than the skill needed to reflect your own emotions.

Miles Davis is one of the few people who combined both, therefore creating a jazz anomaly.

To the point in this quote this guy is ridiculous. I can simply change a major scale a few frets and make a few flats and that would be it.

Jazz almost all sounds the same and i defend my opinion completely.

So many people are playing metal now that they have to drop their tuning to sound different, lol. Drop C, Drop B, Drop A, I mean, what the hell. Drop A? Umm, they're bass guitars for a reason, heh. Jazz is usually a lot of runs, so ya, it might sound the same, but trust me, it's not.

I think its a bit stupid having all the over the top death stuff, a coffin? Death certificates? Masks? Are those all elements of their live shows and music that much because I never really got a huge impression from what ive heard of them that they really have any reason to do that stuff?

It's not a typical MCR fan. Look at other bands and their fans. You'll find them everywhere. At concerts! That's so annoying. A screaming boy or girl next to you! Annoying.

What's the point of even coming here to flame or defend them? I mean, come on, dont you have something better to do?? Who CARES what's emo, what's punk, and what sucks - MOVE ON. I swear. This whole emo/anti-emo thing is getting bigger than boy bands. Get a life people, and if you don't like them, don't read about them.

why can't we all just get along and learn to love those we can't understand
