listening to this band for the first time got me to listen to siamese dream and mellon collie and the infinite sadness again - perfect records
Holy fucking shit I’m at a bar trivia and the round was “is this a song title by My Chemical Romance or Rage Against the Machine” We just destroyed lol
Late to the discussion but I have some thoughts: I think my top MCR songs are: sleep Ghost of you Disenchanted Thank you for the venom Helena agree with sophos that I think a huge reason I can’t get into DD is the aesthetic. So it had that working against it and then the songs just don’t do anything for me. only hesitant alien song I could get into was the single Sorry if this has already been discussed but how’d they do touring-wise on DD? I remember being surprised at how big their breakup was bc I assumed DD took all the wind out of their sails and assumed DD sales were riding on TBP’s success, as follow ups often do. Even now I wonder how many casual fans would be into new music. Idk, I worry they could run into a nostalgia act problem if they returned full time at some point. All that negativity aside I love this band and I’m glad their back in some capacity
Wait I've been out of the loop all day. Are you telling me my chemical romance are playing a show with Jimmy eat world and it's too far for me to go???? Like literally why????? Why don't I have a passport??? I'm legit so upset right now it's unreal!!!!
agreed. I'd throw in The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway too. but Mellon Collie is the most diverse while staying the most shockingly consistent that I've ever heard
I myself was freaking out that Lacuna Coil will be playing with My Chemical Romance. Two of my MOST favorite bands.
the bridge isn't as good in this setting imo but otherwise I really love a lot of the changes Gerard made to the vocal melody
I just hope they announce a UK date that isn't Download or Reading/Leeds. Really don't fancy going to a festival. I love seeing their names on festival lineups though, feels good. Give us an MCR/JEW show, that would be sick.
If the UK date is June next year i can see them getting added to Download Festival as that is in the midlands and early June.
I have absolutely zero desire to ever go to Reading or Download but they might be the only band that could make me go
