| Gone2 Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 48 Gender: Female Posts: 1094 | New Jersey-based emo-goth band My Chemical Romance's depressive point of view is jarring in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings. BY EVELYN McDONNELL emcdonnell@MiamiHerald.com ''Suffer the children,'' Gerard Way sang Sunday during My Chemical Romance's show at Sunrise's BankAtlantic Center. The New Jersey emo-goth band offered a timely window into the damaged psyche of today's troubled youth. With their macabre costumes and depressive lyrics, the quintet speaks to and for the angst of the post 9/11 generation; the band formed in the wake of that national tragedy. Their crowd is the trenchcoat-wearing misfits of high school and beyond, with whom last week's gunman said he identified. But while they sing about violence and the occult, MCR vent and channel their frustrations. ''We'd hate to see any of you think to solve your problems with violence,'' Way said. He closed the first half of the band's show by leading the crowd in a genuinely cathartic, if overwrought, chant of ``I am not afraid to keep on living.'' So it was jarring when the gorgeous, dramatically lit black-and-white cityscape of the first set gave way to a backdrop with a giant ''REVENGE'' surrounded by handguns. The graphic predates the Virginia slayings, but it's time to disarm, not alarm. MCR make the mistake of many so-called alternative acts, merely offering a funhouse reflection of society's ills, not a corrective -- they wallow in gore and death as much as the adults they criticize. The first set was devoted to their most recent album, The Black Parade; the second featured songs from their previous two albums. Way apologized early on that he had popped a rib the night before and might be restrained in his dancing, but the concert was scarcely lacking in intensity. Musically, MCR dabble in vaudeville, country and blues, but they rely over much on metal guitar riffs and pop-punk choruses. Opening act Muse similarly lacks subtlety. From the Who-like opening keyboard riffs to singer and guitarist Matthew Bellamy's Chris Martin-esque vibrato croon, the English trio employs all the big gestures of anthemic arena rock. They're huge back home, but on this side of the pond, they're just another bunch of U2 wannabes, perhaps because they're nowhere near as good as Radiohead and Coldplay. Muse's set was all exclamation points, no ellipses. Whisper to a scream, boys. BY EVELYN McDONNELL emcdonnell@MiamiHerald.com" Laten we die malloot driedubbel overgehaald mailen.

| Gone2 Bleeding on the Floor Age: 48 Gender: Female Posts: 1094 | aaltsje_s: Jajajajajajaja, fijn je woorden inslikken zodra je van alle kanten kritiek krijgt. Zo kan iedereen wel doen alsof-ie verkeerd begrepen wordt. Net zoals die sukkel van Kasabian die ineens over MCR zei: "I hope they win this award; they really deserve to."  Bedankt!  Ik vind mij ava helemaal te gek. Emo's zijn grappig...... |
