the first time i heard about them was when i was a prep and really not happy or no self confidence, then i heard from my friend, who is obsessed with them. i thought they were all goth and really bad sounding, and she played them everday. then one day i was like, what the hell, and i watched INO.i fell in love with them, and they totally spun my life around. all my friends thought i was nuts when i told them i liked them, but i totally ignored them. no longer preppy, punkish edge to me, and now i hate preps. its all thanks to my good friend lol
by the way, im not some poser person who pretends to like them, i love all their songs, and all of them =]

the first time i saw them was in the honey, this mirror isn't big enough for the two of us video. i thought the video was fucked up and the band was scary. then i saw helena and thought they were scary then too.

After i heard Helena on the radio i searched for the music video on the internet. At first i thought they were pretty cool and i thought Gerard was super cute. After a while i fell in love with them. Smile

The first time I saw them was in Ghost of You, so my opinions were a little off. The first time I saw a real picture of them was...like an old pic of Gerard when he had long black hair.

Needless to say my first impression is he was hot. ><

Im female people. ANYWAY. The band seemed just my type.

First time i saw the video for INO i thought Frank was Jake Gyllenhaal (sp?) LOL.

And I was kinda anti-goth/punk/emo so I didn't give em a chance until i saw the Ghost of you video at the VMAs. I was like, ew who are these losers getting out of a bank truck....the song is pretty cool though (and that dude (Gerard) was kinda cute).

So I downloaded some songs, especially The Jetset Life, and I googled the band and realized how amazing they were as people and musicians so I was stuck. They really opened me up to alot more music genres and Jetset is still my favorite song. Smile

the first time i saw the INO video, i actually thought it was a trailer for an actual movie but then i realised it was a video clip. still wasnt really into them.
then i saw the helena clip and i remembered who they were from 'that movie trailer clip' and i was intrigued by them. i think it was mostly gerard and his facial expressions that made me want to watch the whole clip and then i actually listened to the song and the next day, without even realising it, i just randomy started singing helena lol.
then i brought 3 cheers and i've loved them ever since.

i didnt even find them scary at all lol.
and to be perfectly honest...i thought gerard was kinda cute. BUT THATS TOTALLY NOT WHY I STARTED LOVING THEM so stfu.

I hated them LOL.
I thought INO was over-played.

Then I heard the IBYMB, YBMYL album and fell in love.

My first impression was "that lead singer guy wears too much eye make-up." I am now ashamed of that thought!

Very different!
But they had a danger I liked...
I saw I'm Not Okay first and I was like, "Wow these guys are flipping amazing!"
Although I still thought they were a strange-makeup-wearing group I wanted to learn more about them
I did that, and now, I'm absolutely in love with their music

My friend Brendan wouldn't stop wearing a Revenge t-shirt in grade four.
I remember thinking "How the hell can a band be so good that you wear their shirt everyday?!"

I don't really remember.
I guess my first impression was good though. Since I've heard them ever since I heard them the first time.

I first heard it at school while listening to a friend's iPod, it was WTTBP and I didn't get to hear the whole song, so I got home and looked it up on YouTube. I liked the song but wasn't really into it, then I started listening to them more and more about a week ago and now I'm a full blown fan. ^_^ -nodnod-
