I mean, we havn't heard from him since then. That's like when he went quiet. I think what happened really hurt him and changed him...Things like that do sometimes. I honestly think that was the "breaking point" for him. =/ |
| look alive sunshine. Shotgun Sinner Age: - Gender: - Posts: 8012 | to be realistic, he most likely left because of his hand, remember how he went through all that therapy stuff and they said he'd never be able to quite get back to how he used to be? i'm assuming this is it. he just couldn't drum the way he wanted to, or up to speed, or it hurt him too much? i am shocked indeed, but when i thought back to that, i was not.....if that is truly the case. to me it just makes the most sense. he's probably more disappointed with life in general than we are and for that, i am sad. i was a fan of the band when matt was around and he left, yeah.... but bob. he was different. he made the band finally feel complete and right. he brought out the sarcastic/humourous side in all of them so it seemed. which was for the better in my opinion. heh. thinking of all the making of videos. i just can't see another drummer taking his place and having it feel right, or being able to even begin apprecitating them as much as i did bob, no offense. it just isn't the same. it doesn't feel right. it's not going to for a long time, if ever. i feel bad for him and i hope he doesn't take it TOO hard. he was depressed back in the day because he always wanted a drumming career, but was just in the background. then he joined mcr. and now......back at square one. yeah. the band, it's not complete anymore. and if he recorded everything for the new album and then doesn't tour with it, that's just.....=/ gonna be really hard all around. which i guess is probably the case. i'm sure there are no harsh feelings between them at all, but then why didn't they just come out and say that it was due to his hand? that is where i have a little bit of doubt. but i don't really want to think about that one O_o i sincerly wish him the best and hope we continue to hear from him now and again. |
| Sick Heart Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: 38 Gender: Female Posts: 533 | I have been a fan for 8+ years. I am utterly shocked by Bob leaving. We'll carry on, as we always have, although we're beaten and feel betrayed.. He's still there..in our hearts, always. I love you Bob. I'll miss you so much. |
| Heart Attack. Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2274 | Wow...I didn't want to beleive the rumors, but I guess its true =[ I'm just in shock. Guess they don't have very good luck with drummers. I wonder why he left though... maybe because of his wrist surgery or whatever was wrong. I just hope there wasn't like some huge bitter fight or anything... I don't know it just makes me kind of sad. I know they replaced matt, but I just can't see them replacing Bob. I mean I know some people say bnads replace members all the time, but he brought his awesome Bob-ness to the band...it just won't be the same. And it always just seemed right with Bob there, he completed the band. Well whatever went down, I hope he'll still be in contact with the rest of the band, and that he's okay. |
| Lily. Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 20 | I'm shocked. Don't really know how to feel right now... My Chem isn't My Chem without Bob in my opinion...I've always known them with Bob, so it's going to be really weird to not see or hear him in interviews and performances... *sighs* I hope this doesn't mean the end of My Chemical Romance... |
| deafening_silence Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 409 | damn, that was fast. they've removed his number under the "follow us on twitter" and all of his blogs are gone. |

| stockholm syndrome. Awake and Unafraid  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11390 | I still can't believe it. I'm going to miss Bob. |
| n___n Killjoy  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5 | I would have thought that at a time like this, the first thing I'd do is put on an MCR record, but right now, I don't really want to listen to it... |
| ain't got no soul. Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3449 | Well, shit, I'm stunned! Definitely did not see this coming. It bums me out, because to me, Bob was the drummer for My Chem. I haven't really seen them in any other way. I wish him much luck and love though,  |
| scarecrow. Jazz Hands  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 328 | I can't get that nagging feeling away that there's more going on right now. |
| Sweet Iced Tea Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: - Gender: - Posts: 455 | I hope it was just his wrist,not saying that I want him to be in pain or anything... |
| Frankie-Oreo Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2818 | Hmm, all the wrist talk seems to make sense. Do you think they did something like; "Bob, you're struggling with your wrist and we feel that we need a stronger durmmer' or something like that? Def Leppards drummer only has one arm and they're still touring! /too soon? |
| KHelenaF Killjoy  Age: 28 Gender: - Posts: 18 | Wow....I only read one rumor, and I immediately assumed it was some crap that a blogger made up for views, like Gerard's "car accident" a while ago. Anyway, I am still in shock, and in a bad mood. And crying =/ I was hoping so much for all those March 30th rumors to be right, but...not looking like it. I truly doubt that MCR would ever directly lie about the reason for cancelling shows, but I don't really doubt that Bob was at least a part of the reason.... As for why he left, I pray that they're still friends, and I'm stupidly clinging to the whole "Tyler left Aerosmith for 6 MONTHS! And he came back!" thing, but I doubt it. They probably waited this long to say something to make sure it was definite. But I hate that I never got to meet Bob, or see a cocert with what I will ALWAYS consider to be the "real" MCR lineup. I know this is horrible, but I do hope its because of his wrists. I want him to be okay, but....if it was forced and necessary for his health, I'd feel a bit less....mad. Because I always thought MCR was like a family. Anyway, I will ALWAYS love MCR, and I'll follow Bob wherever he goes. But I'm scared it wont be the same. I loved the first two albums, but I met them with Bob. I think he was a big part of the band. Please come back Bob, please keep his parts on the album, and please stop with the horrible news, MCR >.> |
| Rh!annon Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2281 | Hayley Williams: Just a few things, 1 - it's not that hard to replace a drummer. They could have done it quite easily and not cancelled any shows. Bob was just a drum tech for them when he started playing for them. They have other techs that could have filled the role, plus a myriad of other drummers. And hell, there's that many fans who are probably drummers who know the drum tabs to all they're songs. When Bob had the break because of his wrists, they found a replacement pretty quickly, didn't they? Also, Gee may have had to years of vocal rest, but are we forgetting that it's not the strain by singing that's a problem. He's been smoking for those whole two years. He doesn't take care of his body. They haven't been touring and he hasn't been keeping his voice fit. For it to break down on him when they got back into the studio isn't surprising. I think we should give the band a chance before we start crucifying them. |
| Paint It Black Bulletproof Heart  Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 28500 | I agree with the post above. I think we should wait and see what happens, if the band decides to tell us more, before we jump to conclusions. |
| kid from yesterday. Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 1265 | Rh!annon: QFT. I agree with everything in this post. Faaar too many people are jumping to conclusions about the whole Soundwave thing. Whatever it is, they'll tell us if they think we should know, or they won't if they find it'll be better for everyone to keep it under wraps. People may keep talking and making assumptions about what really went on, but the guys are the only ones who know the truth, and I guess we have to have a little faith in them, like it or not. IMO, not a good time to lose support for them and wonder about theories/what-could've-happened. Let's just focus on the positive side of things: at least they're not breaking up entirely (yet). |

| KillJoys Bulletproof Heart Age: - Gender: - Posts: 25453 | You think it is the new album? This normally happens in bands, some one disagrees with the 'new sound' the rest of they band feel it is the right way to go, gang up push that person out till they just leave. I hope this wasn't the case for MCR. I remember seeing them in London and Gerard telling us to turn to our best friend and hug them. You always got that feeling of camaraderie with MCR. |
| Fleur-de-lis Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 68 | Guys, just remember that bands gain and lose members and carry on ALL THE TIME. Some bands even lose frontmen and carry on. You don't need to make this into a massive drama before there's any proof that anything more is going on. |
