What is with all this newfound love for them. They were awful when they were a 3rd rate At the Drive In/Thursday knock off band, they're awful as an aremo (arena + emo, get it, har har) rock band.

Now everyone I know is raving about this garbage.

STOP!

I've enjoyed em since thier first record.

I hate you and your eyeliner, Dov.

I bet you like Jared Leto too.

oddly enough, the first time I saw MCR was at a CMJ party in 2002 or 2003 (I can't remember) I was standing with a girl at reprise (their current label) when she said "who are these guys, I totally want to get them signed" and I said "what, no, they suck"

I guess this is why I never made it into the A&R world.

I like the song I heard on the radio, but that is all I know of them.

Ha Ha Aremo.

Hi Matt.

you sir, are a fucking cunt.

you sir, are my favorite person ever for the gratuitous and unapologetic use of the word "cunt"

are they one of the 2 bands that do that 'under pressure' cover? i heard that the other day for the first time and it was amazingly terrible

at least, you called me Sir. I can respect that.

another band in my last of musicians who desperately need a raging drug addiction.

love 30STM as well...I'm too old and don't care enough to be a hipster and base my musical tastes on what others might think.

where the hell you been man?

My bro bought their record yesterday due to the hype and he says it is horrible.

Well, for starters - being in A&R is all about what will actually sell, not what "sucks" or not.

that may be true, but they were pretty damn horrible...I didn't think that would sell at all except in the indie/tardcore world.

Pitchfork just gave a track on their new album 4 stars. And my head just exploded.

I respect the ambition and the drama and the aesthetics or whatever, but the songs I've heard are kinda candyassed dressed up in spooky clothing.

Singing painful shit over refried major key changes seems kinda odd to me.

Is this the same singer dude who was doing paintings on an easel(sp?) outside his tour bus, mentioned in Rolling Stone?

i didn't really like their first album.

their last one was good in a killers sort of way.

their new one has a few good songs but i probably won't buy it.

My little sister and all of her friends love these guys.

I hate teenagers.

Judging you from afar, baby. I hear you have a girl now.

i miss the good ole days when you judges me so much closer. you should make an appearence should we do some sort of obner/cmj gathering.....

of course, with my M.O. (what the hell does that stand for anyway?), i prob wont show anyway....LOL....not this time...as long as it iaint wed, i should be alright.


yup, there is a girl. 6 months n and pretty damn wonderful. unlike the others.

if you have on demand there's a free show of theirs from Philly. What's crazy is that at the beginning the douchehat from mtv goes out on stage and says something to the effect of "this concert will change modern music forever" and then later, he SAYS IT AGAIN. I fucking hate that guy

douchehat. That's collapsible, huh?
