my chemical romance!

[ianian]

all of the newer bands like mcr, taking back sunday, red hot chili pepers, the used.

[ianian]

please tell me what you think

[Akaymay]

1. I don't like you.
2. You have terrible taste in music
3. Go away.

Also, who are you trying to fool by double posting, pretending to be someone else? That's just pathetic.

[xHeadbang_X_Herniax]

''2. You have terrible taste in music''

thats YOUR opinion, but if the only music you like is in the game, less people will play, so YOU go away.
You should not ban any type of rock genre out of this game, so again, YOU go away..
I like the bands listed so I agree they should be put in the game!

[Rev0lver]

there awsome

oMgZ u lIEk F00ld mii!!

[benjamin]

The double post thing was very very lame.

But despite what everyone on various message boards yells at me I find Welcome to the Black Parade to be a quality album.

[Sindrone]

all of the newer bands like mcr, taking back sunday, red hot chili pepers, the used.

My Chemical Romance is alright, I wouldn't mind having a few of their songs -but, I can't say they are my favorite band. Taking Back Sunday is alright too, wouldn't mind them. I would love to see RHCP in here - but, who are you kidding? They aren't a new band. Give them credit. Never heard the Used before, no comment.

[Akaymay]

Okay, first, My Chemical Romance isnt rock, it's emo. Second, it has no emphasis on the bass, guitar, or drums at all. It's all focusing in the terrible, depressing vocals. So, not only is it horrible music, it's absolutely terrible for rock band.

And, even though I strong dislike the band, Red Hot Chili peppers would be good for rock band. Very even instruments, all good emphasis on the bass, drums, lead, and vocals.

[ianian]

akaymay, in no way are they emo. they have great guitar solos and nice bass lines. there drums are excelent to. and dont get mad because you dont like new bands. you have nothing to look forword to, which is very sad

[Akaymay]

You would think so, huh? Well, no, AC/DC is coming out with a new album in January, which means another world tour, I'm going to see Poison and Ratt in a few weeks. I went to see the Police not too long ago, Van Halen is getting back together to tour, Guns N Roses is getting back together to tour. I have more to look forward to that these new half-ass bands that release new albums every other week. They have to thought in their music, it's all mindless yelling and complaining. These "solos" you speak of are nothing more than boring, repetitive power chords.

[Rev0lver]

i'd like to hear these "nice basslines". honestly, they're all straight eighth notes. boring. yes, they are emo, their songs are about being outcasts and girlfriends dying and being depressed.

one thing i will admit, as with fall out boy, their drummer isn't terribly bad at all.

[snakeisgod16]

What about Avenged Sevenfold?

[Akaymay]

Hell, also, I'm not saying "80's rock should be the only thing in there!!". Plenty of 80's rock songs shouldn't be in there, like Runnin' With the Devil by Van Halen. Mainly because the bass line is crap, it's just straight half notes the entire time.

I'll admit it, I liked that song, Beast and the Harlet. Queens of the Stone age arent bad either. And that song by the hives is looking cool too. But My chemical Romance. Absolute garbage.

[Rev0lver]

What about Avenged Sevenfold?

why the **** do people keep doing this? stop posting your own **** in topics about something completely different and make your own.

[ianian]

i will admit that much of the 80's music does rock, and you people are right about the bass lines, but i think that they will replace bass with rythym guitar. they have very good guitar lines.

[Rev0lver]

but i think that they will replace bass with rythym guitar. they have very good guitar lines.

no, they don't.

[BobLoblaw]

MCR aren't emo ffs. Not only that, but they're not nearly as bad as Fall out Boy, Panic! at the Disco and the rest of that crap they get lumped in with as "emo". They're no rush as far technichal talent goes, but they're passable. I'm not a fan of theirs, but I wouldn't be bothered if teenagers was in Rock Band as long as there's no fall out boy.

[Elnino]

I don't care if they put those bands in the game. I just wanna be able to beat the game without having to play their songs.

[ianian]

iv been noticing that nobody agrees on music.
this is a prolem.
now everyone please respect everyone elses choices because alot of people probably wont like your song list

[GrayInvisible]

That's like saying having the flu is better than having cancer. It's still not good.

I'd say have crappy pop punk stuff as DLC to satisfy their fans. Maybe ONE song in the game that has the least suck as possible.

[ianian]

so you are saying mcr is bad, but fall out boy is worse? that was the metaphor if you didn't understand it.

[ianian]

so you are saying mcr is bad, but fall out boy is worse? that was the metaphor if you didn't understand it.

i sorry im screwed that up!
revolver please stop picking on me
you have good taste in music so i respect you can we be friends
same with the other dude that keeps messing with me

[Rev0lver]

since when was i velvit revolver?

[ianian]

sorry dude

[ianian]

really sorry

[Rev0lver]

this is the first time i've laughed all day

[ianian]

ok whatever

[GrayInvisible]

I like how it took 3 posts to apologize.

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

RHCP is a new band now?

[Bakkster_Man]

RHCP is a new band now?

Yeah, they only have 9 albums.

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

Yeah. I wonder when they are gonna make it big....aaaah, one can only dream.

[CrissDraiven]

A lot of emo hating here.

I dont like emo but it has become its own type of music and although I dont like it doesnt mean there isnt good emo music.

MCR and Avenged I hear are good emo bands but I gotta say, I kinda respect MCR because it seems they were the first to make it popular. That or I was just out of touch with the real world for a long time.

My bad, I was just too busy listening to The Misfits, Bad Religion, and Disturbed ( I love them...many others dont :(

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

So what? Britney Spears made lots of things popular. Build a shrine to her then.

Its become its own type of music? So what? I listen to music thats been its own music for a long time, so thats not really an achievement. An idiot slaughtering pigs becomes trendy, doesnt mean Ill respect it just because he convinced people pigs sound rockin.

[CrissDraiven]

I do, if someone can convince people to like something is bad then they are geniuses. They can then go on the rest of their life doing something horrible and make big bucks off it. Pure genious and earns my respect.

[ianian]

there not emo

its called a concept album!!!
they just make stories about dieing girlfriends
its a long concept look up the storie
they dont cut themselves and they arnt depressed

[ianian]

hmmmmmmmm
im hungry

[tex_chodean]

yeah. the new bands have no meaning to the words. NCR just talks about dieing and stuff that has to do with pain. ACDC and GNR and VH should be in the game.

[Rev0lver]

what's a storie?

[GrayInvisible]

what's a storie?

I have no clue. Maybe it has something to do with storing things? I bet MCR used to be warehouse operators before they found their calling in making garbage rock that appeals to the lowest common denominator.

[ianian]

story
sorry
and its not garbadge
they play a concert evrynight and about 3000 people are there
there in fricken project revelution with likin park

[newwaytodie]

[ianian]

[fragpirate]

.... did... did you just use mcr's speed as a point of talent?

their not even that fast.... omg ...

dude..... you need to have a slayer album implanted in your skull.

[ianian]

for there gender they are
and i dont listen to death metal emo/gothic scremo crap that is just pointless yelling with lyricks you cant understand

[fragpirate]

for there gender they are
and i dont listen to death metal emo/gothic scremo crap that is just pointless yelling with lyricks you cant understand

dude, your just digging your grave deeper.
1st, let me point out the obvious. you dont like emo/gothic screAmo crap huh?.... annnnnddddd you like mcr..... ok....
2nd, lemme just educate you in musical genres. slayer is classified as thrash metal, they were far before any of your emo/screamo/gothy/w/e music (all of wich mcr falls under).
and just as classifying them as such simply puts your idiocy in music on display for all to take shots at, and trust me. they will.

you fail.... 1 million times over.

[fragpirate]

for there gender they are
and i dont listen to death metal emo/gothic scremo crap that is just pointless yelling with lyricks you cant understand

.... their gender?
do you mean their genre?
cuz since when is being fast an incredible feat of talent for males?

[ianian]

they dont scream the entire time like death metal
there just emo/rock

[Jsnkr9216]

all of the newer bands like mcr, taking back sunday, red hot chili pepers, the used.


MCR: No (Unless it's Thank You For The Venom)
Taking Back Sunday: I like them, but no.
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Duh, but they're not new.
The Used: Hellzyeah. Namely Pretty Handsome Awkward or Liar, Liar (Burn In Hell)

[fragpirate]

ok so you DO like emo music?
dude your fumbling.

and obviously you dont even know what death metal is.
heres a little bit of advice.
before you get into an arguement on a music forum, then maybe you should take five minutes and read a wikipedia article, that way you wont come here and sound like a dumb ass by mis-classifying band's genres.
it is so obvious that you have the musical intelligence of a lab rat that i do not think that i will ever take you seriously.
i can only hope that you are very young so thta you still have time to discover real music and realise what kind of filth you are pumping into your ears.

[ianian]

k then what is death metal
its vocals are often grunts, snarls, and low gurgles colloquially called death grunts
what id call a form of screaming
and i dont think there emo but nobody payes attenyion so i give up

[Jsnkr9216]

there not emo

its called a concept album!!!
they just make stories about dieing girlfriends
its a long concept look up the storie
they dont cut themselves and they arnt depressed

"He calls his mansion, not a house but a tomb"


That's pretty emo.

[fragpirate]

k then what is death metal

a death metal band would be something like napalm death, or carcass (altho they started sounding more like a melodic death metal band in their later work such as heartwork).

[ianian]

its vocals are often grunts, snarls, and low gurgles colloquially called death grunts
what id call screaming i got that from wikipedia

[ianian]

"He calls his mansion, not a house but a tomb"


That's pretty emo.

dig deaper into the concept
its about a guy that kidnaps people and the cops throw gas in there so comes the words hes alwayes chokin from the stench and the fume and they get em

[newwaytodie]

whatever
are you good at guitar and do you like mcr
newwaytodie

Actually, I do kinda enjoy some of thier stuff. But I'm not going around dying my hair and wearing chuck taylors and acting like my life sucks.

Emo as a music genre? I'm not so sure that there should even be an "emo" genre

Emo as a fad/trend/fashion/whatever needs to just go away. It's a way for people to play dress up and act like they're something they're not.

I guess I just don't understand the need to do all that to express myself, because I know who I am, and what I believe in. I don't allow the music I listen to define me as a person.

So yeah I like MCR, not as much as some other stuff on my list but nonetheless. And no I'm not good at guitar, I'm pretty sure I suck and no one will tell me to my face.

i agree with everything the guy said except mcr is my faverite and i suck a guitar but ive only played for like 16 weeks

[hot4mizuho]

One simple word......... NO.

[ianian]

One simple word......... NO.

people have to have some kind of respect for other peoples music

[The_Walrus_King]

I really think its important a band like MCR gets in Rock Band. I think its only fair really. I mean there has to be an equal balance of rock genres, and the popular rock right now is pretty lame I admit. But MCR is in that mix unfortunately, and they're actually really good. Unfortunately they get labeled by emophobes who claim everything different is emo. I mean I wasnt really on the community that much when Dead! was announced for GH2 but did people get angry? That was one of the greatest moments of my life. How can people not say the solos in that song are awesome? I think they're a really good band who are grouped into a bad view. Do bands like Fall Out Boy suck? Of course they do. They're god awful. But compare Fall Out Boy to MCR and I think you'll find a huge difference. MCR somehow is in with the mainstream MTV crowd, and for that people stereotype them. Can you blame them for being popular?

[battle_axe_of_doom]

well if mcr gets into this game well then i want my damned jazz fusion and prog rock, where's the genre equallity then??????

[x3ar23]

NOT MCR no please no!!!!!!! YES MCR is worse then cancer, cancer i can deal with but MCR.

[ianian]

i think that rock band should make it to where you just have to do 5 out of 10 songs to get to the next set of songs

[newwaytodie]

Maybe there should be an "Emo Hero" game. You can create your character from a template of:


Black Hair
Chuck Taylors
Black Fingernails
Colored Pantyhose On Your Arms
Studded White Leather Belts
Lip Piercings
Your Little Sisters Jeans
Scars From Attempted Suicide

[Phiromos]

haha...frag looks like we got another emo person lined up for our holocaust....oh well..farewell ianian (why have ur name twice...must me some emo thing) the gass will fill yuor lungs...not that ud mind since all ur friends committed suicide anyway

[ianian]

what the hell is up with the red eye
now thats emo

[Rev0lver]

lawlz. he knows nothing about metal. listen to some opeth for gods sake.

[Phiromos]

what the hell is up with the red eye
now thats emo

oh yes...i am SOOOOOOOOO emo can't you tell...god i love to cut myself and make empty threats...its my life...i need to go to a reform camp now...like all of the good little emos..dude ive been in this forum a LOONG time..unlike you..people here know i hate emo dicks...

[ianian]

then whats with the eye

[SpeedMetal09]

all of the newer bands like mcr, taking back sunday, red hot chili pepers, the used.

mcr sucks...taking back sunday sucks...the used sucks...red hot chili peppers are sweet

[newwaytodie]

then whats with the eye

He is just envisioning the blood of a thousand emo kids spilled in righteous battle.

[ianian]

ohhhhhhh
k and i swear im not emo
im the happiest guy on earth and iv never cut myself
i wear baggy blue jeans not tight black ones
and my hairs not black its brown

[thrashfan07]

1. I don't like you.
2. You have terrible taste in music
3. Go away.

Also, who are you trying to fool by double posting, pretending to be someone else? That's just pathetic.so true. why the hell would someone want to play mcr on rock band all the bands members suck at what they do; unless your talking about how emo they act in that case they take the cake

[ianian]

there bettre than most bands musicions
just play dead! on guitar hero 2

[thrashfan07]

there bettre than most bands musicions
just play dead! on guitar hero 2maybe better than other emo musicians but they still suck. if you want to hear good insturments listen to dream theater, symphony x, some thrash metal like slayer, metallica, megadeth and testament, and solo guys like satriani, vai, batio, and malmsteen

[ianian]

id like to see you play those 2 solos

[thrashfan07]

id like to see you play those 2 solosim sure i could i play the guitar and i can definitely play anything by mcr. id like to see you play far beyond the sun

[welcometotheofficial]

there bettre than most bands musicions
just play dead! on guitar hero 2
A song being difficult on GH2 doesn't mean it's hard on a real guitar. The problem with bands like My Chemical Romance and most new bands in general is that they seem passionless, caught up in the image of their band more than their music and end up sounding to manufactured and unoriginal. Its basically pop music, I mean come on its side by side with r&b and rap on MTV.

[Phiromos]

He is just envisioning the blood of a thousand emo kids spilled in righteous battle.

hahaha YES EXACTLY...the battle will rage on for 3 days...and in that time frame...95% of the emo army will kill themselves..the other 5% will die in battle..the other side...will not lose a single person

[The_Walrus_King]

Sorry let me make this more clear. I suppose I meant sub genres. MCR is rock. What I'm saying is that more sub genres of rock need to be shown. But I think you just tried to make that sound crazier than it was, so I'm sure this doesnt really clear anything up with you.

[ianian]

exactly
im so tired of you people attacking other peoples music
if your on a thread either say somthing good or dont speak at all

[The_Walrus_King]

(I'm sorry but I feel like I have to distance myself from ianian)

We do not share the same views. But honestly people need to drop the whole emo thing. It was stupid to start with. Emophobes are people who are just incredibly insecure. I'm not "emo", so dont start that crap with me. I get so sick and tired of people screaming EMO! at the sight of black. Get over it. As far as I'm concerned theres no such thing as emo. Emo is a word spawned by people trying to put down a style coming into popularity. Now I hate this style too, trust me. I hate the whining bull crap you get from bands that have lyrics like "cut my wrists and black my eyes". Now is that ******ed or what? I dont want that whiney crap in my music. But from what I've heard MCR isnt giving me that. Instead they're giving a realistic, but negative, view of life in general. So are you saying that dark lyrics make a band emo? In that case, holy crap. What does that make death metal? You calling them emo too? MCR gives a harsh view of life, but its not whiney. It's honest. Are the lyrics "I'm not okay" kind of whiney? Yeah they sort of are, I'll admit that. But if you listen to the lyrics its not so much a pity party as it is an explosion of anger. MCR sings about frustration rather than pity. You know, I'm really wasting my time here. Ignorance is bliss.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

for fucs sake how many times do i have to say it MUSICAL GENRE. musical genre meaning the style of music not the lyrics. emo is a derogatory term for ppl who style their hair in a certain way and wear pants that basically highlight their package (aka super tight pants). just because you listen to mcr doesn't make you emo. ppl think of coheed and cambria as an emo band, i dig them kinda sorta and that doesn't make me emo. mcr however are ****ing emo cuz of their style of dress (as ppl mind you) and the style of music they play.

as for dark lyrics **** you dark lyrics are common in every genre of music. hell the damn beatles wrote some dark lyrics in the 60s, so did king crimson at times, so did sabbath.

and about death metal, they don't usually write lyrics about how the world blows and all dat. they usually write about different crap varying on the band. death wrote philosophical lyrics while cannibal corpse wrote hilariously ******ed gory lyrics.

this is hopless

When I mentioned death metal I was talking about dark lyrics. A lot of bands sing about how the world sucks. I thought everybody was ok with that? Thats not emo too is it?

[battle_axe_of_doom]

jesus ****ing christ didn't i mention in my posts that dark lyrics are common in every genre of music?? the emo musical genre while yes have to do with the overall ******ry of their lyrics doesn't stop at the lyrics. they all play the same chords in the same time signatures, and follow the same pattern

alright
they do dress like emos ill grant you that
but that still doesnt classify there music as emo
i believe that emo music is aboutpeople crying about how there girlfriend dumped them in a song thats actually about the singer
mcr has no such song

[battle_axe_of_doom]

well they do have whiny vocals, simplistic/repetitive guitar patterns that almost every other band in the emo genre uses

also about mcr not having lyrics about relationship problems : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Not_Okay#Meaning

i do believe you JUST OWNED SONNNNNNNNN so stfu about mcr not being emo and listen to better music?? k thx

[thrashfan07]

btw its kinda funny how far this arguement has gone

alright granted
im calling them semi-emo rock
i dissagree with the guitar though
i listen to it very closly and it changes up

Battle Axe of Doom seems to epitomize what I'm talking about. No offense to him, I'm sure he's a pretty cool guy, but hes actually angry about this. He's angry that there are people who wear what he calls "emo" clothes. He even calls them "******s". So are we relating this to homophobes too? What I'm seeing is just this irrational insecurity. People are frightened and angry about "emos". What has happened to the idea of the entire rock genre being about individuality and breaking apart from what people expect of you? It seems to me that a lot of people are really close minded around here. It's like a form of musical persecution. It seems to me that people want this mass conformity. Thats what it is! For all of the finger pointing at the new wave of music coming in, saying that it promotes conformity, what you really want is people to only like what you like. That's conformity right there.

wow you're either a pretentious dumbass who over analyzes stuff or just plain ol ******ed. i'm "angry" cuz you just won't get wut i'm trying to say. you're calling me emophobe?? k how about this i have many friends who are consider emo and i typically don't care. i rag on them, but thats it. calling me a homophobe?? my damn cousin is ******y and i could care less. when i call emo's ******y i'm not literally calling them homos its a ****ing expression. when i say dear lord am i literally calling out to "lord"???????? all i'm angry about is your constant denial that a certain band that obviously fits a certain label (like that other guy admitted ionas) yet you deny the facts. i am not frightened or angry about emos, mostly annoyed at how pretentious and in denial you are.

[The_Walrus_King]

Just because YOU design a label, doesnt mean thats its a universal fact we all most obey. For claiming me to be pretentious, you might want to watch yourself. And ianian has backed down from his argument because people started ganging up on him and he felt like he needed to give in. That's too bad. I hate when people cant stand up for what they think.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

actually i didn't design the label its a pretty widely accepted label. but if you wanna say that fine DECAPITATED TOTALLY ISN'T A DEATH METAL BAND NO ITS NOT!!!!!!

*yawn*

and i know i'm pretentious but at least i can admit it and admit when i'm wrong

[The_Walrus_King]

Haha widely accepted. You know that almost sounds a bit like conformity? If everybody thinks it, it must be true!

[battle_axe_of_doom]

so wut are you some kind of non conformist??

[The_Walrus_King]

Well the thing is, you cant really be a non conformist if you admit it. I like to ignore the boundaries between conformity and individuality. That way you never know which side you're on, possibly making you a non conformist. So my answer is, maybe. But lets get back on topic. Were people disappointed by Dead! on GH2?

[ianian]

Just because YOU design a label, doesnt mean thats its a universal fact we all most obey. For claiming me to be pretentious, you might want to watch yourself. And ianian has backed down from his argument because people started ganging up on him and he felt like he needed to give in. That's too bad. I hate when people cant stand up for what they think.

do you know how long i stood on that argument
if what he says is what emo is then hes right about them
i really dont agree with the drums and guitar but hes right about the bass jeans and lyricks
im really just frustrated because there is no convincing these people so i dont know what to say anymore

[Bakkster_Man]

Since when are Chuck Taylors explicitly emo? I've seen them as being representative of Rock (especially alternative) in general. Go to any rock show or look at band posters and play "Count the Allstars".

I've seen indie, punk, hard, and melodic rock bands all with most of the members wearing Chuck Taylors. Seems to me that Allstars are a poor indicator of 'emo-ness' when the Foo Fighters wear them...

[newwaytodie]

The guitar parts really aren't complicated. But I've said it a million times, it doesn't take technical proficiency to make good songs.

[ianian]

its not exactly lynard skynr but its not fallout boy

[ianian]

so stop sayin they suck

[battle_axe_of_doom]

but they do suck

[ianian]

but they dont suck

[Rev0lver]

...but they do suck

[ianian]

but they dont suck

[Rev0lver]

but their songs are emo, boring, and overrated.

[ianian]

but there songs have deth to them, there exciting, and millions love them

[battle_axe_of_doom]

since this thread has degenerated into mindless "arguing" let me ask something. where's the option to take off the email notification whenever someone responds to my post?? my inbox has been bombarded by like 20 emails in the past 3 hrs and its pissing me off

[battle_axe_of_doom]

but there songs have deth to them, there exciting, and millions love them

who cares if the lyrics deal with death, death isn't always the greatest subject to write about, who ****ing cares if millions love them, millions have loved brittney spears and we all know she's worthless. they're not exciting.

SO PLZ STOP RESPONDING TO MY POSTS. i don't want these emails anymore :(:(:(

[ianian]

i dont know
these replies come fast though

[ZookSuit16]

im gonna have to say Akaymay is right that u are half *** for double posting and who the hell wants that kinda of music in this game, ill even admit i have the cd with helena on it its terrible and so are they

[ianian]

please tell me what you think

thats what i said
whats wrong with asking what you think
and sorry i dont listen to argue with little junior members that are as carless as you

[Angellore]

Mcr Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kwg503]

All right, Akaymay, Lesee here...

"I spend 20 out of the 21 hours I'm awake playing guitar, it has consumed my life."

Taken from your profile.

So... That leaves 20 hours of guitar, 1 hour of coming on here and criticizing someone elses choice of music, acussing ANYONE who listens to MCR to be EMO, then a meager 3 hours of sleep so you can't even think straight.

Which leads me to conclude...

1) you play guitar too much.

2) you have no life other than guitars, music, and sleep.

3) you're prejudice.

If I were you, I'd shut myself up or develop a personality other than your guitar and computer, and actually LISTEN to music.

FYI!

[battle_axe_of_doom]

you're avatar looks emo so i don't think you should be saying anything bro :p

[Tazeyo]

When my eyes met those of Trifluoroacetic Acid, I knew that my heart was taken. A smile from across the room was returned, and we walked towards once another. "Hi," I said, knowing that it came out sounding a bit shy. I had always been a bit of a Wallflower… but that was okay, because so was it. It introduced itself, and told me to call it "CF3CO2H" for short. This was the beginning… of my chemical romance.

I love mcr, I really do.

[xHeadbang_X_Herniax]

you're avatar looks emo so i don't think you should be saying anything bro :p
WTF LMAO XDD my avatar looks emo X'DDD
yeah, good one.

and also, why wouldn't I be saying the above if you claim my avatar, which is me, to be emo?
then I should know what I'd be talking about above right? derr.. ¬¬

[Spacey]

everyone is fighting about the stupidest things
everyone is entitled to an opinion and who cares
if its emo, metal, classic....WHATEVER..this
is so stupid...not everyone likes the same music
and this game NEEDS diverse music or only a few
people will buy the game

[devil_may_care]

I agree totally with that. Stop fighting! lol...

[xHeadbang_X_Herniax]

I thought I made that clear in that other thread..

[battle_axe_of_doom]

[2pacchrist]

akaymay im with u **** emo... dead in gh2 was tolerable cuz of the good solo... but no ones gunna wanna sing that whiney depressing bul**** needs more southern rock, dirtcore, and skaa

[chancrescolex]

ok this is all making no sense to me, it seems like there is a lot of hypocracy in this fourm first of all i like mcr i enjoyed the black parade and what cracks me up is you are trying to call them an emo band and that is where i get confused first i dont even think emo is a legitamet fourm of music because from all the metal head's in this fourm it sounds like you are saying emo is about crying about your girlfriend breaking up with you or something to that extent, well if you are going to say that than i guess we are going to have to put quite a bit of other music from othe geners of into the emo catigory such as country,and even some classic rock, i mean i could even possibly call a band like avenged sevenfold emo because the siez the day video has the pregnant girlfriend of m. shadows gets killed in a car wreck followed by a teary funeral but lets just not go there there. also it seems like emo music is being made to seem like it is manufactured its all the same and lets face it i could say the same thing about metal. dont get me wrong i own quite a few cannibal corpse, and dio cds but come on metal is getting pretty rediclous latley with the number of bands out there but its kinda like that with every genere now of days. going back to mcr i have listend to the black parade about a hundred times and i have not once heard a song with an even slight allusion to loosing a girlfriend or wrist slitting or any other emo steryotipe you like to use now-a-days the whole album is about death its about a man dying from cancer and then moving on to the after life FOR CHRIST SAKE THE SONG THAT WAS ON GUITAR HERO 2 WAS CALLED DEAD! so hears my question if a cd about death is considered emo that that makes 90% of metal emo to right after all you called it death metal right..........and if you say dead was not a fun and diverse song on guitar hero 2 your lying because lets face it there are only so many times playing the same chord over and over again in that damn lamb of god song before you just dont care enough to play anymore.

[BarryC]

Okay, first, My Chemical Romance isnt rock, it's emo. Second, it has no emphasis on the bass, guitar, or drums at all. It's all focusing in the terrible, depressing vocals. So, not only is it horrible music, it's absolutely terrible for rock band.

And, even though I strong dislike the band, Red Hot Chili peppers would be good for rock band. Very even instruments, all good emphasis on the bass, drums, lead, and vocals.

They are rock, they are not emo, they are post-hardcore, and if you told that to the other members of the band that no one focused on their instruments you would be laughed at horribly then hopefully kicked in the jugular.

[GrayInvisible]

Actually, their style is disputed. I absolutely loathe hardcore punk though. I don't think they really are though.

Also, using "emo" to describe the offshoot of hardcore punk today, is like using the word g a y (love censorship) to describe someone happy. I like to think of the modern emo as a thing along with with bands genre (Usually pop punk today), which includes their lyrical content, their dress, and to some extent musical style.

[newwaytodie]

I hear people throwing around the emo term a lot lately. Using it to describe a genre is pretty ridiculous, I've always said.

Here's some lyrical content... see if you think it is "emo"

Why do your eyes paralyze me
What makes me feel this way
Just carry me away with silence and heartbeats
As rapid thinking about your embrace
and how it makes me feel
I just want to feel this way forever
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you
Why have I been given the chance to fly
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone
I remember your face / imprinted on angels
Your voice as beautiful / as the sounds of waves
crashing against my heart
Time slows down when you look at me
I'm infatuated with this / infatuated with you
It's so hard for me to understand why
I hadn't found you before don't dull away
hold my hand

[battle_axe_of_doom]

poison the well is just as *** as any emo band

[newwaytodie]

Yes, in fact, every member of the band is a homosexual.

Because any emotion, including love, is ga.y

grow up.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

fine you want me to use some other adjective or phrase??

poison the well are just as ****ty as other emo bands. happy?

[Julio-Claudius]

MCR's whiny vocals cannot be replicated. The vocalist for MCR doesn't know when he's in tune, so I wonder what a fun job the Rock Band mic will have.

[Julio-Claudius]

Oh, and if you want to get by the censoring system....


****

EDIT: dammit!

[battle_axe_of_doom]

you just got censored bro

just say fuke or fuk

[Julio-Claudius]

Usually on other boards you can bypass the system by putting BB code in the middle of the word.

emo isn't a genre.

Emo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In music:

Emo (music), a genre of rock music

[newwaytodie]

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Emo

[BarryC]

Wikipedia says a LOT of things. They have screamo and emo listed as genres and they're not. At least screamo never was.

[Rev0lver]

better article:

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Emo

[newwaytodie]

Conclusive scientific evidence suggests that emos are more hated than both blacks, Jews, and Lath combined, and for good reason, too: they produce over 9000 doses of deadly anti-lulz per year.


However, some argue that those who constantly complain at emos are a bunch of hypocrites, as they come of being at least twice as angsty and whiny themselves.

lol. :)))))))))))

[fiyero754]

Thrash Metal is horrible. I honestly don't think it takes a whole lot of talent to bang on a guitar really fast, and scream incoherently into the mic. It's crap. Oh, and uh, I'm gonna take ianian's side on this one. MCR is a really good band. Not my favorite, but they're up there. I mean, I love classic rock like Guns, AC/DC, EVH, and all that other stuff, but I mean, have a little respect. MCR isn't emo... they were unfortunately grouped into the crappy genre called emo. They are storytellers.

[GrayInvisible]

What people call emo today is a yet unnamed genre, that will probably be called emo as we look back since the terms so common. Like I said before, it is used to describe a music of certain sound, and lyrics. It could be called a subgenre of pop punk. Read my other posts.

I'd like the bolded songs to be in Rock Band; the others I don't really like.

Also, GTFO if you are going to flame MCR. They are not a crappy band, that is a matter of opinion.

[Zetsumeisuna]

Personally, I love the old My Chemical Romance better. I'd love to see Demolition Lovers or Headfirst for Halos on there, that would be sick. But I told my friends that playing Welcome to the Black Parade would be INSANE on Rock Band. I've seen a video of Bob, the drummer, just play his part, and it actually is pretty difficult. The guitar and bass are actually really hard too, and the vocals would be nothing short of amusing. That's the <i>one</i> song I would love to see on Rock Band by My Chemical Romance.

[the3rc]

Posting in epic thread that is epic.



Also, I ****ing detested MCR til I had to sit through their live show with my gf last year.

I paid $40 a ticket to see Muse open up for them (as to why I am truly baffled, to this day) and wanted to shoot someone when the closed up their 30 min. show.

So I sat through all of MCR's performance, and despite the waves of flaming homosexuality that emanated from the stage, I found myself having a little fun listening to them perform. So now I've got some of their **** on my iPod. Some.

As far as them being on Rock Band, I could see only a FEW of their songs playing out well. Perhaps "Famous Last Words". But only kind of. Rock Band needs some solid bands with solid sounds to play. Like, I love The Hives, but "Main Offender" was a terrible choice. "Tick Tick Boom" or "Walk Idiot Walk" would have been boss. Harmonix really needs to throw in some more RHCP, and maybe a bit of metal. Mostly I'm looking forward to some Arctic Monkeys, Muse, more Radiohead, more Strokes, Journey, Offspring, and maybe some Styx.

Stuff I hope for that's just wishful thinking: Pink Spiders, Silversun Pickups, Turbonegro.

The Used is definitely NOT Rock Band material.

Now, as far as emo goes, bands like Hawthorne Heights should be taken out back and shot between the eyes consecutively. Emo does not have a place in Rock Band. I don't want to have to go back to playing GH. =p


Also, OP is probably like... 9? Leave the poor kid alone.

[Superyenko]

mrc is just annoying. cant stand to listen to it. might as well slowly beat myself to death with a bat. fall out boy was ****ing bad enough. just a waste of the developers time imo.

[fafa979]

i can't understand why people who don't like mcr are wandering into this thread. it clearly says MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE. nothin better to do? go start a thread with a band you like and try and get it. that simple. if i see a thread of a band i don't like, you know what i do? i DON'T GO IN IT. i find bands i do like, let them know what i'd like and thats it...
