How you discovered mcr! (and is mainstream really that bad!)

hi sweethearts
i just want to ask you all how you all encounted this band for the first time and 2. your first reaction ? and 3. are you dissapointed they have gone into the mainstream?




here is my anwsers
1.i saw the vid for "vampires will never..." on the net a year ago... i bought their album, then kerrang had a free cd with "you know what.." and the obsession started
2.my heart jumped! then i went out and bought the album with pure joy because i felt this band were me!
3.i was dissapointed at first but i cant begrudge em thier success but i do hate people jumping on the band wagon(eg green day) and making it harder for the old fans to get tickets... but thats not fair either!

1.bout 6 months ago round the time i joined GSB my friend let me listen to her media player and mcr was on there so my friends got me started it was " DoYou Know Wt They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison"
2.i was soooo star crossed wen i listened to the whole cd.. i fell in love.. then couple of months later i got my friend to burn You Brought Me.... and it was love lol ive grown to respect them very much
3. i wasnt bothered coz i knew it would happen... and they made a wonder full Cd with reprise so meh... there still MCR right? so yea

1. i saw I'm Not Okay in early august 2004 and fell in love. so did my mom....so she went out and bought the cd for herself, hated it, and gave it to me.
2. whoa. This band knows what goes on in my head.
3. i hate posuer teenies, but i am happy mcr is getting succsessful. as long as they stay loyal to fans....

1.About 6 months ago My lovely friend came over and brought her older sisters CD's. So i found the most intresting CD..wich happened to be Bullets. Then i played it. I was in love with a CD..and that's a bit weird..

2. Well, i played the CD four times, what does that tell you? My obession with them grew when i heard TCFSR. I loved them!

3. Well..i'm not going to lie, i was a bit upset..only because this preppy bitch walked up to me and was like "Ya know that band MCR?! they kick ass!!" even though she only knew one song..but..overall..i guess it's okay..

^ we feel in love wiv MCR round the same time lol

ooh you're right! yay us!!

yes lol woooo!!

1. I didn't find out about MCR until videos started to come out on MTV and crap. Then everyone started to talk about them. Finally I decided to buy the CD and give them a shot, and they hit the target.

2. I kinda thought that every song sounded the same, but as I listened to them more and more I started to know the lyrics and the guitar parts, bass parts, ect. It was like, "Whoa. This band is awesome! How could I have ver doubted them?!"

3. Eh, well. I guess I have to be glad that they got somewhere, because I probably never would've bought the CD if people hadn't started talking about them all the time. Nothing in my town gets here as fast as it does in other places so I was just kind of left behind until they did get big. It's kind of upsetting that all the preps and crap listen to them though. But, the only reason to make a band is to get big and have fun doing so... Guess My Chemical Romance did what they wanted.

hmmm i suppose on question 3 you cant judge too quickly... because with the sucess also came new hardcore fans

^Indeed.. teenies will be born though.... the thought of that scares me *shivers*

remember we as hardcore obsessionists can beat those teenie poser asses!
even though i am the only person in a 20 mile radius that love mcr! (i live in the middle of knowwhere ireland!)

Trust me I'm not a teenie. If I was I would seem a lot more stupid, don't you think?

not u were just saying with fame comes teenies... gah the thought... and yess i could kick a teenies ass into the ground muhaha

1. The first time I saw MCR was their 2nd I'm Not Okay vid. I fell in love. The video cracked me up and the music was wicked. I listened to that song a bunch and got lured into buying the cd.

2. My first reaction was a huge grin. I had a good feeling about the band. After I bought the cd, I was a bit hesitant, as it had a parental advisory and I was just feeling my way around more mature music. Of course, now I'm in love with the cd.

3. I'm not upset with their mainstreaming, though it is annoying at times. If they hadn't mainstreamed, I would never had really found them. (Oddly enough, same for Green Day. So sue me, I'm still young) So... thanks MTV. -shivers-

lol nv thought id hear anyone say thanx Mtv lol... yea i found GD that way too oddly enough

ya as a green day fan for the last 8 years it bugs me that tickets go so fast now..... but thankfully i saw them on july 9th and ill be seeing mcr on november 10th

yea the gd tickets in may sold in 5min so i had to get em off ebay i steeped to a low but i saw em wiv MCR great show and im seeing em again in sept... then i just came bak frm the warped tour and saw a whole pile of bands including MCR

^ Same with me.

your lucky you live in a country where bands visit more than once in their career

i hate being a bogger.... but i like the fact you can be an individual here without being put into a group
