here's Spin's 25 Greatest Bands Now- hope no one else has put it up yet and it's in the right section!

25-Comets on Fire
24- The Mars Volta
23- AFI
22- LCD Soundsystem
21- Against Me!
20- Gogol Bordello
19- Air Brut
18- My Morning Jacket
17- The Roots
16- The Flaming Lips
15- Riveboat Gambles
14- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
13- MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
12- Turbonegro
11- Queens of the Stone Age
10- The Dirtbombs
9- Prince
8- The Hives
7- Green Day
6- White Stripes
5- Radiohead
4- Red Hot Chili Pepers
3- Arcade Fire
2- The Stooges
1- U2

here's the little blurb on MCR live:
The uniforms and armbands suggest a pretentious Boy Scout troop. The bullet-proof vests bring to mind 50 Cent wannabes. And Gerard Way's voice fails to ascend to the heights it does on records. But the makeup makes perfect sense. MCR may have a frantically anthemic sound, but they're memorable live because of Way's divalike flourish. He's an emo-goth mezzo-soprano, projecting his tears, betrayal, and pride so that all in attendance feel like their heartache is a battle they can survive.
BEST MOMENT: Just before the last chours of "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," when everyone freezes for a split second, and Way says coyly, "Trust me."


just so i don't get sued by Spin i am saying quite clearly that this atricle is from the September issue of Spin!!!!


i hope you all liked it and congrats to MCR for being so good!

ahh i do agree that gerard doesnt sing as good as he does on the record, so that kinda makes the performance an "iffy". but haha they do look great live. gerard and his girly walks. he might be trying to be jack sparrow. lol

I've seen Turbenegro and MCR
And
I may be biased, but MCR put on a better show then Turbenegro.
But hey, quite ironic how they got 13 lol

Thank you for posting!

Turbonegro are a great band, but MCR can put on a wayyyyy better show!
13?! i mean its koo and stuff, but I think they should have been a lil higher.........
and I adore his voice live, he really sounds amazing live, sometimes better than on-record

^^he used to sort of, you know, ran out of breath....but the new performances I've seen (Reading and Leeds, MTV $2Billion, Pre-VMAs) he really sounds amazing!
I guess the little 'break' gave him his vocal chords' strenghth

maybe he's not out of breath because he doesn't smoke as much anymore?

i donno if he stopped smoking- it would be great if he did, but that's just my thought of why he sounds different.

Gerard sounds better live. Its his actual unchanged voice. And 'Way' dosen't say "Trust Me." Frankie does. I hate Spin... I hope they die. Evil or Very Mad

I have seen 14 and 23

and frankly, I think they should be switched on the list.
