My Chemical Romance and similar bands

[Momiji]

Okay, I've been waiting a while for a thread like this to be made and I haven't seen a thread on this subject.

Does anyone here like My Chemical Romance, or similar bands (such as The Used)? I like them both, and the older MCR stuff is amazing in my opinion, not Gerard Way's singing, but the guitarists. A lot of the stuff they play is easy but they still make it sound awesome, for example, songs like 'Helena' and 'Honey, this Mirror isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us" (My favorite song, by the way) have amazingly easy parts to play, but they sound just amazing. I can play a few MCR songs on my guitar as well, and I've only been playing since Christmas. I can play....'Romance', 'Honey, this Mirror isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us', 'Our Lady of Sorrows', 'Demolition Lovers', 'Helena', and 'I'm not Okay (I Promise)'. That includes the solos too. And I'm not bragging or anything, sorry if I sound like I am, I'm just commenting on how good the music sounds despite its simplicity. And I also think their first album is much better than their second.

What do the rest of you think? Please don't do any music bashing here, because I know everyone has their opinion, but frankly, what I like you may hate, but if that's the case, I hate what you like, and then a whole arguement starts, and I don't want that to happen. So...be nice.

I like some MCR and the used are pretty good I also <3 AFI and old Blink 182

MCR is good imo. At first I thought I would like their second album much more than the first, but after listening to both numerous times, I happen to like both pretty equally. The Ghost of You, Cemetary Drive, and Demolition Lovers are prob my favorite songs by them. AFI is really good to. Sing the Sorrow is a great album

MCR covered Under Pressure, and did a horrible job.

That alone is reason enough for me to hate them, but they also happen to be quite bad. So that works too.

MCR is all right; there's a few songs that I really like that they've done, Helena and Ghost of You, but that's about it. I'm just not really into this kind of music so :D

Actually, that was The Used, with My Chemical Romance. Come to think of it, I couldn't hear much of Gerard in the song when compared to Bert.

Anyone's who ever seen my posts knows my opinion on emoness. I'll leave it at that before I start getting mad.

Then seriously, why are you posting here? If it makes you mad, stay away from threads like these, I'd like you more for it. Besides, you didn't even post anything relevant to the topic, which was the bands themselves, not what style of music they play. Besides, emo music kicks ass. :rolleyes2

Oh people and their silly music arguments.

Anyway, I like a little bit of AFI, but I strongly dislike MCR and The Used and all of that. I do appreciate MCR's music videos though, I thought Helena was very pretty (not the song at all), even if it was horridly melodramatic.

AFI is great. MCR is tricky. I dunno. Before everyone in the world said they were their favourite band, I thought they were quite decent. Not great, but somewhat talented. Their song Demolition Lovers is beautiful in the beginning. And like Abom said, their music videos are pretty cool. But now, everyone is like "I AM DARK PRINCESS AND GERARD IS MY HUBBY OMG!!! HE'S PALE AND DARK HAIRED AND HE WEARS MAKE UP <3333" and it's sickening. I can't stand The Used.

I thought you wanted people not to get into arguments in this thread? ;D His opinion is that emo music sucks; so obviously he doesn't like MCR or The Used or anything. I hate being cliche, but we all have our own opinions. :)

I suppose the one reason why I don't like AFI is that I hate the lead singer's voice. And it's hard for me to listen to music where the vocals are unpleasant.

MCR Rock my cotton socks off! The Used are ok, I like Aiden quite a lot

[Zeldy]
