I miss this band every day but it hurts extra hard when this thread is active and I'm actively thinking about them.
Hm, very interesting. Thanks for entertaining the question. Early Sunsets Over Monroeville This Is The Best Day Ever Vampires Will Never Hurt You
I have felt for a long time that i've just outgrown listening to them/actually enjoying the music. I was very disappointed the one time I saw them Gerard was pretty drunk and didn't sound good at all. But I am having fun replaying them now and being taken on a time warp seemingly. I won't have anything positive to add to the Danger Days rounds, so I may sit those out. Also, are we doing any of the EP songs?
I stopped listening to them for a long time (maybe 4-5 years) because i had felt the same way, I thought I had outgrown them/their music. I came back to them last winter when the vinyl was being re-issued for Three Cheers and TBP and got back into them again. I think at like 23-24 their music just reminded me of being an angsty teenager and I wasn't that anymore, and years later can now appreciate their music differently? If that makes sense? lol
I'd be down with doing a round for Conventional Weapons and a round for a collection of their B-Sides if people want to.
Definitely conventional weapons should have a bracket, since it's basically an album. I can't say I really know any b-sides, but I guess it's time to learn.
"Show blocked content" Seeing as how I only have one person blocked, I do wonder why the one person who hates brackets and shit on them for days continues to show up in the handful of threads with brackets.
I was there when the played Early Sunsets for the first time ever! Halloween 2003 at Club Krome in New Jersey. Absolutely stacked lineup: Vaux, Murder By Death, A Static Lullaby, Senses Fail and My Chemical Romance.
I'd throw Sister to Sleep in there! Shame that it didn't end up getting recorded for Freddy vs. Jason, or at all.
The one and only time I saw MCR was in 2005 when they opened up for Green Day on the American Idiot tour. They weren't that big yet and most people there didn't know who they were and honestly, they didn't sound great either, however I give them the benefit of the doubt because it was a huge arena for a band that was probably not used to that exposure at the time.
The one time I saw MCR right after Three Cheers came out, they were awful live. I remember catching a live show on Fuse right after The Black Parade came out and wondering, whoa when did they get so good live?! Never got a chance to catch them other than that one time unfortunately.
Call it a shallow pick, no song has ever stuck with me more than The Ghost Of You from them. Would LOVE to see that win.
I saw them in 2005 I think and it wasn't great. I saw them again on the black parade tour and it was good. Saw them in like 2008 for the bsides tour at a small place and it was amazing like they had improved so much I couldn't handle it. And I heard desert song live so basically life is great
I’ve only seen MCR once. Back in 2011 at the House of Blues in Cleveland when they were touring in support of Danger Days. I’d really like to see them again.
Only saw them once unfortunately. It was on the Blink tour. They did play a reworked version of Skylines and it was fantastic.
I have no idea why I didn't go to see them more. Regret it now that they're no longer active, but I was just doing a check on setlist.fm and they came to Cleveland a good number of times.
Back, sorry went and saw IT again lol. Current score: Cubicles-6 Early Sunsets Over Monroeville-16 Skylines and Turnstiles-18 This Is The Best Day Ever-4 Vampires Will Never Hurt You-10 Headfirst For Halos-12 Round will end in 90 minutes
Theres nothing I straight up dislike but relatively speaking I don't love "We Don't Need Another Song About California", "Zero Percent", "Sing", "Save Yourself" or the studio version of "The World is Ugly". I'd say I love every other song they've done to varying degrees.
