when gerard’s talking in interviews i often get quite bored and want him to stop.
I’ve heard too many fans say that they would not be able to go on anymore if the band broke up. First of all, Gerard said recently that he is looking forward to the next ten years of MCR so they will be around for a while. Second, the band should not have such a huge responsibility. Imagine what it must feel like to them if they ever read that. They shouldn’t have to feel responsible for their fans’ lives. Three- they’re here to help save you through their music, not to be your personal counselor. If you are so depressed that you feel this way, get some help!
And I’m not saying this to be mean or judgemental, I just really think that lots of fans have to be more responsible for their own mental state by going to a counselor and not just expecting MCR to magically cure them. I have depression too.
They’ve inspired me to follow my dreams. They give me hope all my favorite bands do. Bit I don’t really know the people who are singing away my problems, so I don’t know if they give me false hope or real hope…and I don’t want to know.
I disagree with you when you said that the band is falling apart. Ray isn’t under-appreciated, he’s a truly gifted man and many people care about him. Gerard isn’t letting fame grow inside his head, I think he’s super excited about the whole being a parent experience, though it’s been two years. Mikey isn’t getting better because the band is falling apart, he’s getting better because he is dealing with his fears better than before. And Frank isn’t upset at all, they are happy. And I love and miss Bob very much, but he didn’t leave the band because he didn’t like them anymore, it’s because he just didn’t like the bands decision and also because of his wrist problems, I guess. It’s ok to think that your favorite band is falling apart because of this or that, but we can’t lose hope, because MCR is a strong band that’s constantly changing and growing and we just need to believe in them and to give them all the support they’ve been giving us. Keep the faith, kiddo.
I have an Irrational fear…
MCR changed my life.
Yes. I know. Like every other fan in the fan base. But I don’t say this lightly. I’ve met some of my best friends. They got me into art. They’ve changed my whole perspective on art and on the world and on people and on music and on life. I can’t picture who I’d be today if I hadn’t discovered them.
But recently, I haven’t been thinking about them how I used to. I listen to other music. I don’t feel like constantly listening to them or thinking and fangirling over them all the time, and sometimes I feel like that doesn’t make me a fan… That that means that I love them less.
When I listen to them, I feel happy and safe. I love it, I honestly do. But when I don’t feel like listening to them, there’s always something nagging at me that is thinking. “What if I don’t love them like I used to?”
And that scares me. Because they changed my life. And I don’t want them to be out of mine. I don’t want to not love them.
I think I’ve grown out of My Chemical Romance. And I think I’m okay with that.
i always say this band saved my life but it didnt, cause i never came close to my life ending, i dont even put my faith in the band, i just like the music i suppose..
AnonymousI think that Ray is highly under-appreciated. Frank always looks sad now. Gerard seems to be letting fame get to his head. Mikey seems to be getting better while the band falls apart. And my favorite member was always Bob. To me he was so inspirational. I think the band is falling apart.
Thank you soo much for this blog. I met one of my closest friends because of MCR. And I would lose her if I told her that I am losing respect for them. This is the perfect place for me to talk about it.
AnonymousI feel guilty because I say that MCR is my favourite band, which it has always been, but I also love Panic! At The Disco the same
and I think that Brendon is the better singer and that Panic! write better songs.
