Have They Lost Their Values?

xox.gena.:

You guys ever wonder if they just ran out of things to say?
You can only go off on a subject for so long, and he's basically hit them all on the spot.
Wouldn't it be corny if he just went off about saving whales? (Good cause, though lol).

Honestly, I just think he's making up shit off the top of his head so the gig isn't full of just music.
I don't particularly approve of what he said, but honestly, it doesn't really offend me.

I agree with you.
They have been preaching this message to us for like 6 years straight!
I'm not saying they have nothing left to say, Im just saying that with the hectic touring and press and everything, maybe they have ran out of steam.

I'm sure once they go on the much needed break, they will come back with something new and it will all go from there. Don't be so quick to doubt these guys, at least give them a chance and see what they come up with.

Plus, Im sick of all this shit about how the 'real fans' don't appreciate how Gerard has been acting because it's about the music. Speak for yourself guys. I don't see how I'm not a 'real fan' because I have no problem with it! I don't have a problem with how Gerard is acting, its a rock show guys and MCR have always been like that.
Those guys have already passed how normal rock bands act SO much that I can forgive them if they slip a bit in a few interviews. I honestly don't want to hear them constantly preaching at every chance they get.
Then they will just end up boring.

If you want to talk about 'real fans' then maybe we should have a little more faith in these guys instead of being disappointed as soon as they stop being everything you want them to be.

I don't think anyone is really offended by what he says on stage... But what he used to say about girls showing their tits... was when they were tryig to get their message across... they have got their message across... they have saved lives... now they are just simply trying to put on a good rock show... and he is having some fun
and i think that they are doing a good job.
I ♥ Gee with all my heart.

Yeah
Everyone knows their message by now.
And they have said that they're gonna stop putting on massive shows cause they want to get back to the music again.

And yeah...I can see how that can come across as being a bit irresponsable but if was probobly just said in the heat of the moment and he was probobly just caught up in the energy of a live show and not meaning it sexually.#

I still love them
But they do deserve a break.

^^ You are taking it all too personally
And he has said that before. Something about how he doesn't feel he has to preach anymore between songs, that the songs have the message and he just wants to make it fun.
He never said 'We don't want to impact peoples lives anymore, we just want to be another mindless shitty rock band with nothing to say' I think you took it out of context. Like, when he said the message has a short shelf life, well it does. He can't say the same thing over and over and over again. People will get bored.

If I wanted to just listen to MCR then I can do it at home, I go to shows to have fun, go crazy, let go. To be under the same roof as my heroes for a night. Why do the shows have to be purely about the music? It's entertainment. Yea, I love it when Gerard says something inspirational, but that isn't why I go to their shows. I know what the message they put out is already, I don't need to be reminded everytime they play live.

drunken elevator.:

I feel a seperation between MCR fans, and honestly, I find it very upsetting. Because I don't fully understand why it's happening.
Sometimes, I actually feel like it's all because Gerard is married. I arent going to lie. I think people get jealous. And it's a shame, since when were their personal lives anything to do with us? Also I think the seperation is down to just plain dissagreement, then serious argument. And all that about Gerard being back on drugs/drink, that confused the hell out of me. I just couldnt understand why we were making such bad accusations towards a man who has supposedly affected us so much. Where had all the faith gone? And what happened to the music being important?
I don't think they have lost their value in any way. I still love them just as much as I did when I first heard of them.
I feel like I'm waffling now. But meh, it's just my opinion.
All they wanna do is put on an awesome show, which they always manage to do. So I don't see the problem.
They're happy, I don't see why we cant be, too.
Don't kill me. XD

*Claps* I agree. Especially with the part about them wanting to put on an awesome show. I think that they are just trying to 'mix it up' make it a little different than they used to do, other rock bands say and do much worst things to the crowd. I think they are just trying to keep up with the 'style of the moment' and I think that they wouldn't want to feel boring. I really agree that fans need to keep the faith until we're given a serious reason not too, and that the music should be appreciated for being as amazing as it is, for as long as possible!

Because I think we can all agree that the music is fantastic, so maybe we need to give the artists creating it a little slack.

I pretty much agree with that last post. I just hope that their "trying to put on a good show" doesn't make them become like every other rock band out there. Because that would really really be terrible. So many people love them for being the people that they are and for being people that aren't afraid to go against the norm and speak up. I really hope they don't lose that completely.

I agree, as soon as they lose their morals, it's not worth it

But I really don't think they have lost their meaning/purpose, I just think people are getting paranoid (and understandably so) because they're aren't as vocal as the message anymore, they'd rather let the songs speak for themselves

yeah exactly. Gee even said himself... Right now they are jsut touring and putting on a good my chem show... its not about the message... they have already put that across...
and plus.. what he does is HOT haha.

yourboth right i think alot of it HAS come from his marriedness i dunno about you guys but as long ashes happy,im happy 2 i also think alot of fans are being to mean to lyn-z i mean c'mon i personally like her better than eliza.but hey thats just me.


geeze i make sum musy gooey message

^^^^^^ I totally agree. People need to stop letting the band's personal lives play into the public's general opinion of the direction the band is taking. I have seen a lot of that recently. People are all of a sudden all "Gerard's changed" and "I miss the old Gerard" ever since he got married. I personally think he grew out of the "old Gerard" long before he got married. I just think it gave people an excuse to bash their marriage because they're jealous or something ridiculous like that. But seriously guys, get a grip. Gerard is happy, so you should be happy for him.
Other than that, after thinking about it, I haven't really seen a huge change in MCR other than the fact that they have really grown up, which is to be expected. I do realize that they haven't been as vocal with their message lately, and I do hope that that isn't permanent. But maybe it is just because they ran out of things to say and have already gotten their message across, like previous posts have said. I think they just want to end their tour with a bang and have a good time and put on a good show before they disappear for a few years. So appreciate them while they're still around people, because they're going to be gone for a while in a few months.
