My Chemical Romance Forum

i dont know, its not like they've touched me deeply or anything like that (okay that sounds wrong) but they have been a big part of my life and changed a lot of things for me, i love their music, i listen to it now and it brrings back lots of good memories which i share with Frank, i still love the music too, i sing along to all the words and its a great feeling. Theres a lot of things people connect with, I somehow knew that MCR would become big one day, that I they would connect to more and more people. It's just certain things that can bring people together, it just has to be something special, and i always knew MCR were special and different. Theres only two other band i've thought the same about and that is Muse & Smashing pumpkins. Its like when theres a certain film, or book, if theres something special about it, it can really touch people, and reach out to lots of people.

Spectacular!!!!!! hahaha Was Gee trying to get Frank to motorboat his man teats or what?? LMAO I love his strutting ass. And since when does he control the Bat signal? 0_O Hmm. Franks smiling at Ray made me melt. It's like he's asking Ray "You ready for this?" But Ray already had taken charge, as he usually does on the strings, was born ready! The way Ray plays leaves me in utter amazement. He stays so focused for so long. He's a bit of an anchor instrumentally for the group, I think.

Why MCR? I guess because I feel a shock wave of passion, angst and sincerity that screeches from the pit of their being that I don't find anywhere else. It's a rare thing to have a band grab you by the chest and rip you a new heartbeat. I suppose they've made me feel this way because they have somehow been emotionally or mentally synced to their songs, the inspiration behind the songs and such. Even if it was by a long shot, the way they perform is as if they're down to their last drop and are spreading it over 4 bottles of sweat, blood and fears. The same applies to their albums so far. And when those components are lacking, their bluntness gets much respect. There's so much that makes them what they are and it will take a while before they're running on pure hot air, I guess. =) How nice!

On stage they seem to go out there every night as if they have to face a monstrosity without defeat only to express that they are the monstrosity whose defeat depends on the very completion of a night taken head on, balls un-tucked and cock up. They come to life in a way it seems even they never knew possible.

I know when I see "This is It", I'll finally cry physical tears for M.J. *sigh*

"Nobody will ever command a crowd like Freddie" -

^I feel the same way about M.J. Only I feel he could do it with merely the essence of his voice. His dancing and charisma just made watching his performances pleasantly unbearable. It's hard to think a person could be possible of so much at once but he pulled it off down to his last breath. *sigh* I can't wait to see the film. It will give everyone a sense of closure, I think that is much needed.



For me, M.J touched my soul and MCR touched my heart. Reaching my heart is a much more difficult task. ;) Soul touching just happens. Heart touching has to be earned and oh boy has My Chem earned it. xD

Can't wait till they take on the stage again just to take it down... again! xD I think no matter how they try to reinvent themselves, there will always be a punk fab about them. They couldn't shake it off if they wanted too. Not the boys from Jersey anyway! xD

Good post, kitten.

Can't really describe it, it is more like a feeling.

Good question! This is something I always think about, believe me or not.

The first time I knew about MCR was when I watched the video of Helena in Mtv. I remember it perfectly because I hated them at the moment. I had a good reason to feel that way and it was that I couldn't deal with coffins or anything remotely related to death. Watching that video was a big shock to me, like getting a slap in the face. A week later, when I finally got the guts to listen to it I loved it. I swear, something like that had never EVER happened to me. When I listened to it I realized that it all made sense, that they weren't just some random band who was trying to get people's attention by being dark or whatever; I felt that they had something to say and that they expressed it perfectly. I fell in love with the song since then.
It took me a while to become a fan but I enjoyed it. I still do. I feel like I owe them something because I know that they have helped me to change things about me. They helped me to deal with death. I don't want you to take this the wrong way; what I mean is that I learned to accept that it's part of life and that I shouldn't be scared.

They helped me to be stronger, to overcome some of my fears and to stand up for myself. Their music has helped me to get out of bed and face the world in mornings when the idea of getting up scared me to death. Everytime I'm scared of facing my day I play their music and I feel better, a lot better.

Why MCR? Because they are different, honest, REAL, nice and talented. I love them for everything they've done for me.

No idea. Maybe because Gerard voiced all the thoughts that were going through my head. I thought I was the only one thinking those things and he assured me I wasn't. I didn't feel so alone in my misery after 3 Cheers.

Queen, on the other hand, do the complete opposite for me. I feel like I'm floating through fields of unicorns and rainbows when I listen to them. I wish I could have seen them live. That would have made my life.

"I know when I see "This is It", I'll finally cry physical tears for M.J. *sigh*"

You're in good company V, its impossible to see it and not cry. Whilst watching it, I tried to figure out at which point in his life could his untimely death have been avoided. You know what- I think they'd actually have to go back to rescue him at about the age of 3. So much went wrong for him, with no-one to put it right.
Such a crying shame. Such a waste. Such a loss.

Expansive as ever April! *hugs*

Precise and to the point tho' - I know exactly what you mean. Music is all about how it makes you feel.
They touch all of us somehow, and thru them we have touched each other. I like that xD

Great to read all your comments. Lovely people :-))

This is great news for me, I think. Crying is healthy especially in times of despair. I need get it out. :/
