What was your first impression of MCR?

I searched but found nothing. Forgive me if it's already been posted.

I was just talking about this on another thread and it got me wondering: What was your first impression of MCR?

For me I was 11 & listened to nothing but rap so I found these men really creepy. I actually for a little bit believed that Gerard was some kind of supernatural creature(like a zombie) b/c I didn't realize he had makeup on his skin to make it look so pale.

the first song i heard of theirs was helena and i always used to listen to christian music so when i saw the video it kinda creeped me out cuz they were like at a funeral and stuff but i've always thought gerard was hott even before i started 'turning emo' as my friends would say haha so yeah i've loved them from the first time i heard them

I have liked them since like December 2006. The first time I saw them I was at my friends house and their video Helena came on. I liked it a lot. They played the video like every day and I really liked it a lot. In 7th grade my friend had a picture in her locker(It was a picture of them with all their make up on) I thought they were really creepy. I realized it was them but didn't think about it. I had a dream about me and her going to a Green Day concert (Her favorite band in the world) and My Chemical Romance was there too. We saw them in their Black Parade outfits and then the concert was starting so we went to our seats and watched the concert. I woke up after that. I don't know why I dreamed about that because I never heard of them before I had that dream. I had heard of Green Day but not My Chemical Romance. It was really weird. I got the black parade CD and i really like it. I'm glad I had that dream because they are my favorite band now.

I probably sound like an idiot but this this is how i started liking them

i don't even remember....

I remember there being comercials for Three Cheers every five minutes. that kinda annoyed me but um...

"But the songs you grow to like never stick at first."

i thought they were pretty cool...then i started to really like them when ghost of you video came out.

the first song I heard was I'm Not Okay. I hated it, and still do lol. but when Helena came out, I liked that song and bought 3 cheers. the rest is history.

I really liked it. , but I was a teeny bit scared of Gerard.

I have no idea, but I remember the first time I heard Welcome To The Black Parade.
I was like:
Or something like that. It was hilarious...

when i saw helena i thought they were really weird. i only sat through the video cuz of the dancing. but mtv kept playing it over and over again! so finally i just gave in and actually listened to the song and ive loved them ever since!

When I heard Demolition Lovers, which is the first song I've heard of MCR I wasn't sure if I liked it or not.

My sister had listented to them for years, and when I asked her about them she said I wouldn't like them, so I just argreed with her....My sisters not even into them anymore....

Then I heard WTTBP and I thought it was amazing, I thought they were some weird awful vampire bad so when I heard that it really made me realize. Now I love them, and everything else is in the past.

Well, I was about 12. Here, in Poland, they started being noticable few months ago, but my cusin is a realy big rocker, so one of summer holidays she spend talking about them all the time. Then, on some german channel they played "I'm not okay". I was a Good Charlotte fan and I foun the video somehow similar... I thought something like "Oh, they're cool, strange, funny, but quite cool". For me then, they were a group of strange metal rockers (I know, I was quite stupid...).

My grandma first impresion: "Oh my god, they look like...No, they are satanist!!! Because my mother showed her realy old photo which I kept in my wallet... My mom thinks that they are a group of junkies, and dad belives deeply that Gerard is gay, "coz no straight man would something like this with hair". So, I'm not the worst one in my family...

I first saw them 2 years ago with the second version of I'm Not Okay (I Promise). I heard them. I thought they were amazing and I even wrote their name on a Post-it with Best Band Ever!!! under it. XD I spent the rest of that day finding pictures and looking for their videos and about a week later I had both of their CDs to that point. So, I've loved them as long as I've known of them.

I started listening to them when I was nine, I got Bullets and all. but I didn't get it for a while. Then when the singles for Revenge started coming out I started listening a bit more closely and fell in love.

But at first the deepness went right over my head.

I hated them, but my friend was really into them so I downloaded “Demolition Lovers” and fell in love. I went looking for Bullets but the first place I went to told me it was “so rare and hard to find” so I just ended up buying Three Cheers. Fell in love. Found Bullets the next day and fell in love even more.

i heard them when i was like year 6 and I hated them

then a few years later(year .. i decided to give them another try and here i am

I think it was probably when the I'm Not Okay video came out, I think I was thinking something along the lines of "haha that dude with the long black hair is awesome! wait a minute, so is the song! heh and that dude has a rather cool 'fro..."
