Okay, so we all know My Chemical Romance right? You know the group of guys that the “Emo-Kids” listen to. I for one, used to listen to them back in my Emo phase, then again, I also did a lot of things back then that I don’t do anymore. It seems the popular band followed by Blink-182 is back on the road, literally back on the “road” with the Honda Civic Tour. Ah, yes. I crack myself up sometimes! Anyway, the tour will consist of the two bands playing together at, Honda Civic Centers around the world? Maybe not. The Honda Civic Tour has more plans than just that, of course! They recently just came rolling through Detroit, followed by a bunch of sad teens with dark clothes and make-up. Now, what I want to know is, why Red? Why the awful red hair dye that makes Gerard Way look like he just got out of a Rehab center?

Although, I may never get the answer to this question, unless I somehow compel myself to get an interview with him on our website, which I really am not worried about. I would much rather interview the ghost of Peter Steele, but what can you do?

At least, he is finding himself and trying something new, personally I liked him better with the bleach blonde hair, during the opening for The Black Parade. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that, death and destruction back then was way cooler, then dying your head like a soul-less ginger. Oh wait, I forgot we are not supposed to say that anymore.

But, just to make something clear, I have nothing against red-heads, I just hate the fact that most people who dye their hair red can’t really pull it off, and with Gerard Way, I guess it’s somewhat of a double sided edge. What do you think? Does he pull it off like a ginger could, or does this desperate attempt to make change, butcher the whole style in general?

Anyway, nice attempt Gerard, but I am going to have to say NO, on the red-hair. I just think it’s to… Cliché? I see everyone dying their hair red these days, except for the redheads that is. But, I mean come on, am I the only one who misses the old music from them? Songs like “Teenager,” and “Famous Last Words.” Now he’s got these other versions of the song in Acoustic version, where he totally butchered “Cancer” by the way, as you can see down below. So, on behalf of myself and all other Old school MCR fans, WE WANT THE OLD SHEET BACK!

Watch the video of My Chemical Romance singing “Cancer.”

Okay, isn’t this just TERRIBLE? As Simon Cowell would say, “I would rather stick rusty nails in my ears, then to EVER listen to that again.” And trust me Simon, I don’t blame you. It sounds how I expect Justin Bieber to sound, when his balls finally drop. Oh! I didn’t!? YES, Yes I did.

Enough of my ranting and complaints about them though, I must admit they do have a lot of new stuff that actually caught my eye this year, like “Planetary (GO!)” for example, catchy beat, nice energy with it, the type of thing to get you to jump up in your seat and start head banging. I hope they keep coming out with more hit singles, because from all these changes they are making, it is really the only thing they have left!

  1. Where the hell have i been?, missing this great shit! Awesome!

  2. Hm.

    You know, this is very intriguing and all, but I think it would interest you to know that Gerard and the boys are still inspiring people across the globe. I’m truly sorry that you don’t feel that way.

    And Gerard is still sexy. As usual.
    Case and point:

    Every band or singer changes. If they stayed the same, there would be no variety and the music quality would decrease.
    Besides, My Chemical Romance changed because they overcame the ‘emo’ stage, and now they’re ready to live and by happy. Hence the color and lively music.

    And the version of Cancer is beautiful. Don’t you dare go comparing Justin Beiber shit to that. I showed it to my cousin, who has cancer, and he cried and told me that it was his new favorite song.

    You wanted opinions; here you are.

    • I had no intention in offending anyone with my opinion, and I believe you actually misunderstood my style of writing.. It is only to spice up the post for entertainment and enjoyment for the readers. I actually like this band a lot and have been listening to it since I was in middle school haha. Thank you for taking the time to read and giving your opinion though :)

      • Umm…that’s sad? Your form of entertainment is trashing (even a little) on others? That’s no entertainment, that’s bad manners. Aye, who raised you? :S

  3. I have found many things wrong with this:
    1. “Okay, so we all know My Chemical Romance right? You know the group of guys that the ‘Emo-Kids’ listen to.”
    Don’t label. They’ve said in interviews before that they don’t like being called emo and neither do us “emo kids”.
    2. “a bunch of sad teens with dark clothes and make-up”
    We don’t dress like that because we’re sad, we do it to make a statement and because we want to.
    3. “the awful red hair dye that makes Gerard Way look like he just got out of a Rehab center”
    Shut up. He actually used to have an alcohol problem so don’t even joke about this.
    4. “Anyway, nice attempt Gerard, but I am going to have to say NO, on the red-hair.”
    He can pull off the red hair better than you ever could so just stop being a hater.
    5. “Songs like ‘Teenager,’ and ‘Famous Last Words.’”
    You’re obviously not a fan, because if you were you would take the time to get the name of the song right. It’s called “Teenagers”.
    6. “Now he’s got these other versions of the song in Acoustic version, where he totally butchered ‘Cancer’ by the way”
    It’s his song, he can do whatever he wants with it.
    7. “Okay, isn’t this just TERRIBLE? As Simon Cowell would say, ‘I would rather stick rusty nails in my ears, then to EVER listen to that again.’ And trust me Simon, I don’t blame you. It sounds how I expect Justin Bieber to sound, when his balls finally drop. Oh! I didn’t!? YES, Yes I did.”
    Okay, no. Just no. This makes it clear that you are just a lame hater trying to pass yourself off as a fan. That is a touching song and I personally love the acoustic version.
    P.S. If we were allowed to swear in these comments, you’d better believe I would be.

  4. ok mcr isnt just an emo band and gerard way is extremely sexy like his brother, mikey, and im a RED HEAD (ginger is still and always will be extremely offensive) and think he pulls it off really well. people die their hair red because of gerard, and you cant bag on him because your are completely brain dead, have no style, ignorant, stupid, and rude. so maybe you shouldn’t talk about stuff you dont now you will probably embarrass yourself and piss a lot of people off!

  5. omg this is awful, how can u actually write this; they have inspired so many people around the world and made many kids life much better ; they are awesome ; i never worn black, and i am not sad, and definetely not a EMO kid, okay, and niether are my friends who listen to them;
    it’s obvious that you have never been a fan, because you wouldn’t be ashamed for listening to them and excuse yourself with the “emo phase” so SHAME ON YOU; YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THEIR STORY YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY SOME OF THE THINGS YOU’VE SAID; YOU DON’T FREAKIN LIKE HIS HAIR? RESUME AT THAT STATEMENT, BECAUSE IS SO EASY TO JUST WRITE THINGS ABOUT SOME PEOPLE AND THINKING YOU MAKE A GOOD MATERIAL;
    btw, their acoustic versions are awesome; PLEASE show me and their fans one that sounds better, but until then, you don’t get to criticize their music OR gerard, who was super hot with red hair;

  6. OPINION or shall i say FACTS!

    1. Gerard way totally pulls off red hair! actually saying that he pulls off any hair color Gerard Way is an extremely gorgeous man…hes PERFECT in fact.

    2. Cancer is one of the most beautiful songs Ive ever heard, the words are so honest and brutal that they become unbelievably amazing! and to say that a PERFECT voice like his has “butchered” as song as beautiful as that is just wrong! He has such a different and unique voice which i personally love. MCR’s music is the only music i listen to the only musicians/artist that i follow and they totally inspire me.

    3. if i someone asked me “if i could date anyone on this planet who would it be” straight away i would say GERARD WAY im sorry but they say no one/thing is perfect but Gee just IS! and to conclude you have totally dug yourself and hole and has created yourself many haters and you have most probably pissed a lot of people off. CONGRATULATIONS!
