A MESSAGE FROM MCR - ON TRL TODAY

Hey everyone,

“I’m Not Ok (I Promise)” live. We never really expected this to happen, but we are more than
happy to do it. When we started this band, we set out to hopefully have an impact on music

heard. Remember, we are not different from any of you and we feel the same way about a
lot of things that you do. We hope you can check it out and then call in to vote for us. 2004
was an amazing year for us and we are hoping to reach more people in 2005 that we can
relate to. Thank you to all of you that have supported us through the good, the bad, and the
in between. Without seeing you at our shows and knowing that what we do is worth it, this
would never be the same. If you wish to call in and vote for us for TRL, you can do that by
following the below instructions.

xoxoxoxoxo3,
MCR

That's your opinion and that's cool but I like this band i don't care what it is, it's pleasing to my ears. I think "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" was one of the best albums released last year. If you're in a band you strive to have your music heard. This will reach the masses for sure. It's too bad the masses are 12-15 year old girls.

[Jared Kaufman]

I respect your opinion, especially seeing as you're a Minus The Bear fan, but this band is definitely not a gimmick. What you see is what you get. These guys are so sincere and genuine and love what they do and make the music they want to. There is nothing fake and contrived about them. I understand if you don't like their sound or album, but at least realize they're doing what they want to do (in regards to the music they're making, TV shows they're performing on, etc.) and they wouldn't have it any other way.

[IAPAI]

I would seriously question the sanity of a band that would refuse to play on TRL. Good for them, play on TRL, play on the Food network or the fucking Women's TV network for all I care. It's good music and I don't give a shit who else supports it - the more the merrier.

[jynxedheart]

why did people ever think this band was anything more than a gimmick?

god this band is terrible...

a gimmick?! are you fucking serious? this is a hard fucking working band that has actually pushed themselves to get this far. they are some of the nicest guys and deserve everything they have achieved. they didnt start out mainstream like so many others worthless bands. they spent tours opening for headliners and taking every opportunity they were given. from eyeball to warner, they have been dedicated and dilligent. i am happy as hell that they are getting the recognition they deserve

(crossing of the fingers)

ok...i think it's been established that the whole "sell out" thing has been driven into the ground. as far as MCR going on trl, i agree with a post made above..a band would be crazy if they turned down that opportunity, unless they were strongly against society and mtv or something.

[aolsux]

dammit to puss spewing bloody hell, NOOOO my chemical romance i still need you

[WSUskee]

What does sell out mean? You cant tell me that any body on this site would turn down a chance to play on TRL. Im sure most of us hate that show but that doesnt mean they are selling out. If selling out means making money and selling more recrods then fine they sold out good for them.

[Booyah Achieved]

i'm basing my opinion on my experience seeing them live...the music was terrible, the black outfits and the makup was more than ridiculous, and the kids that were there to see them were some of the rudest and most immature i've ever seen at a show...it was a joke

thank god they left when they were done, god forbid they stick around to see a real band like face to face

[Nate_RAWKS]

i know that. that's why i said that i'm praying they don't. i wasn't saying that they are. we won't be able to tell if they did untill months from now

my favorite band of all time...it was bittersweet...when i heard they were retiring, i was so depressed that i was never going to be able to see them again, so just having that one last show meant everything to me...it was amazing

[MrChainsaw389]

Dear everyone who even thinks the words "sell out" and mcr in the same day:

Fuck. You.

There are three things that matter as to what makes a musician a good musician

1: Play the best to your ability at every live performance
2: Record the music that you feel is your best
3: Respect your fans

Wether or not you actually like the music that a band/artist plays is up to your own opinion, but if an artist is doing what they feel is right, then who the fuck are you to say otherwise. I would sell my soul in a heartbeat for big bucks as long as I wasn't forced to abandon any of the above "rules" of being an artist, and none of you motherfuckers could say any different.

[Caleb Cattivera]

please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out. please don't sell out.

you kids need to grow up...you wouldnt pass up playing on trl...

[last light]

okay i dont know why everyone is making such a big deal about an amazing band like my chemical romance going on trl...did you all not see this coming? they are one of the biggest bands out right now. its not like they are the only band playing trl or an mtv show this week. the killers, straylight run, and the used are all scheduled to play mtv this week. they all deserve it, sure i dont want to go to their shows and see only 12 year old girls there screaming cause the singer is hot, but i dont expect to. both the used and my chemical romance put on an amazing live show, and youd be hard pressed to find anyone who says that the show was ruined cause of the 12 year olds. i cant say the same for straylight or the killers cause i havent seen either, but straylight run is an amazing and deserving band also, simply cause they put out a great and different album. congrats to mcr, the used, and straylight run...they ALL deserve it.

[I Miss Weezer]

you kids need to grow up...you wouldnt pass up playing on trl...


I agree that some of the kids here need to grow up, but at the same time you can't assume anyone would not pass up the chance to play on TRL. I am not in a band, nor do I think I ever will be so this is not the same, but as a student attempting to be a rock and roll journalist I will never accept a job from such a spineless network such as MTV.

[urowndisaster52]

you kids need to grow up...you wouldnt pass up playing on trl...
i wasn't saying that they sold out, nor that trl automatically means that they sell out. I was simply saying that MTV tends to have the power to make bands sell out. (good charlotte, etc.) MCR did not sell out and i was saying that i hope they don't. I understand what selling out means. I understand that if a band still respects their original fans, that they have not sold out. MCR did not sell out, all i meant was that i hope they never do.

There's a difference between working for MTV and being live on the air in front of millions of people performing your art.

I couldn't agree more.

[elonman05]

I love how people on this site automatically right off bands as soon as they are on TRL and shit. This band, in my opinion, worked their asses off to get where they were and they deserve everything. Yes, they're growing too big for the "punk pigpen" and must venture out into the wilderness to spread their words to the rest of the world, but this is one of those bands that you want to see make it. They are so unique and so different from anything out there. They tour constantly and live for the fans. Just because the girl down the street who has yellowcard posters on her walls likes them now, doesn't mean they "sold out." If you were a real fan, you'd embrace My Chemical Romance because they're the same people they were 4 years ago, they'll be the same people 4 years from now, and to me, they don't seem like the type of guys to go all "simple plannish" on us. Final world, they deserve whatever comes to them. They've even said at a show I saw them play that they don't understand why they got so popular so fast but they like to thank everyone who's been along for the ride. I've been watching this band grow for 4 years and i'm excited to so what they do in the future. More power to My Chemical Romance!

[blinkredstar]

trl is just weird. that's all. yes to the exposure, but just kind of :headshake to all the people who, if you choose to go to a mcr show, we will have to put up with. lol

[falloutncambria]

that band blows and anyone watching who has never heard them before is probabaly gonna hate it, the mainstream tends to be turned off by screaming men wearing black outfits and makeup

[tran in japan]

I have to admit, there are some bands who do "sell out" when they reach MTV, but My Chemical Romance is definately not one of those bands.

Are you kidding? Kids are already eating MCR up. Hot Topic kids are all over the place eating this for breakfast.

i agree

[Frank Giaramita]

Personally I'm not into the whole bats unleashing hell and eating my soul garbage that this band potrays and preaches but I guess that's beside the point.

[Greg Dona]

wow. in that message they definately sounded like they were trying to defend themselves for playing trl without directly taking shots at mtv.

[LostInTheCrowd]

This band is great live and their albums aren't bad either but don't whore yourself out for votes on TRL.

[causexeffect]

i saw mcr 3 years ago this past halloween in a rutgers basement. gibbler headlined over them. i will always remember them as the band dressed as vampires, 40's in each hand, grabbing the mic, and being beligerantly drunk screaming the words to AWK to gibbler's cover set. it was a good time.

[swindlington]

I respect your opinion, especially seeing as you're a Minus The Bear fan, but this band is definitely not a gimmick. What you see is what you get. These guys are so sincere and genuine and love what they do and make the music they want to. There is nothing fake and contrived about them. I understand if you don't like their sound or album, but at least realize they're doing what they want to do (in regards to the music they're making, TV shows they're performing on, etc.) and they wouldn't have it any other way.
Their singer is an uptight prick though. I was at warped, and waited in line to get their autograph, and he did not even say hello or thanks for listening. He was too busy watching the band on stage. The others were like that as well, just not giving a damn. Their guitarist was the only one there who showed some grattitude and some small talk. He's a nice guy, the others are just chumps.

Why do you want a band's autograph anyway?

[LeftWideOpen]

quite frankly, i believe mtv is the devil, and along with music videos, has been and is ruining the state of music. however, with that said, this is how these guys make their living, and they are free to do whatever they (well, their record label) choose, as long as they keep their artistic integrity. this isnt the first band to do this and it sure as hell isnt going to be the last, so if it bothers you that much, don't watch. marketing and music are two different things, and as long as they dont intertwine with each other, then who really cares?

[King Caesar]

dedication energy talent

we all know they have it, we're just not sure what they're using it for anymore
so why not give em a break and figure that they know what they've worked for and accomplished and give them their props on becoming something bigger than a band

[urowndisaster52]

i quoted that cause it appears nobody read that correction. I was not saying that they sold out. I was saying that i hope they don't sell out. I lost scene points like crazy just because no one understood what i said. I said 'please don't sell out'....as in 'gee i hope they never sell out' and i added 'my fingers are crossed,' implying that i hope they don't. I never said that they did.
furthermore, i would like to direct you all to this tread from a couple days ago on the very same topic: http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=57101&page=2&pp=15
thank you (i want my scene points back :( ...)

[djUbilla]

There's a difference between working for MTV and being live on the air in front of millions of people performing your art.
True, but it's how MTV presents the art that is in question. Granted, it's always great to perform regardless of whom it is to, but you don't want somebody to control how the music comes out. Only 5 pm will tell us whether or not MTV decides to contort what MCR wants to play or how they want themselves to be seen. I'm sure that My Chemical Romance will ensure that they are shown how they'd like, and I wish the best to them.

[djUbilla]

Why do you want a band's autograph anyway?
Yeah, wanting a band's autograph sounds stupid, but for me it reminds me that I was there, and that I saw the band play and talked to them and whatnot. Nothing I would sell, and I do feel guily asking every now and then, but it's just a nice reminder of the show.

[LDub]

i'm okay now

[k3vc05ta]

where can i find a list of bands playing this week

[urowndisaster52]

where can i find a list of bands playing this week
probably mtv.com

[SpinKick]

some of you people need to get over yourselves. You think you are "cool" because you like a band that no one has heard of or that no one likes.

[XXemochildxx]

Mcr kicks ass bottom line. Selling out has been driven into the ground. I agree with who ever said it, selling out means making moeny, getting famous and selling records MCR is sold out. Bands need to have money to eat and feed there familys so they need to get discoverd and get there music herd. Fuck you all who are still living in the past with this whole sold out thing.

[Jared Kaufman]

For whoever said that Gerard is a "prick" or anyone else in the band doesn't care obviously doesn't really know them or didn't really make an effort to. They are literally some of the nicest dudes ever and care more about their fans than anything. I'm sure if they were captivated by whatever was going on on the stage was just because they were a fan of the band playing as most bands are fans of muic too. However, I know dealing with Gerard and Mikey especially that they're some of the nicest and most down to earth guys that are in well known bands.

[sweitz03]

look at how mtv put yellowcard under their wing, their song was the opening for one of the most popular mtv shows, peformances on trl, this that and the other. and yellowcard didnt sell out, they are getting paid a lot of money doing what they love to do, and getting their music out there. mtv is a great way for mcr to get their music out there more.

[burnpianoisland]

try as i might...i just could never get into my chemical romance.

[halfpricepizza]

Honestly, i have nothing to say. But I can't pass up not putting in 2 cents on a thread with 50 posts.

thus, let me just say that Roger Powell will devour your soul and Kings of Convenience are okey dokey.

[I ARE RAY]

MRC is awesome.. bottom line! I'll Tivo the performance since i won't be home..

[Greg Dona]

they were actually pretty good. pierre (i think thats what they said his name was) did a pretty akward introduction for them. they ruled, but i highly doubt theyll be 'jaded rockstars soon enough' as was predicted by whoever heads up trl (at least i hope not).

[_rescuemyheart]

i think they did a pretty great job, myself. i think it kindof freaked most of the crowd out when i think the guitarist layed down and started kicking. and i thing it was quite awesome that they said the eff word.

[crayZbuzzard]

That was a decent performance. I can't get enough of that guitar solo. I think MCR is a kickass band...but honestly, why do they have to dress like goons, and wear that ***gy pink eyeshadow. They need to man up, and cut that shit out. They would avoid all this gimmick talk if they looked like normal dudes.

[MrChainsaw389]

I think they did a good job, but frank needs to take a chill pill. I've never gotten to see them live, but on all three tv apperances I've seen he's freaked out and fucked up equipment and stuff. I understand that it's part of his preformance or whatever but whoa now.

[tran in japan]

The singers make-up kicks ass. period. end of story. done.

[70x7]

MTV looked like they could care less about Gratitude. Nobody talking to them had a clue who they were.

[angmr]

I didn't catch it myself. But my friend taped it. After playing back four times, Gerard's routine mumbling before Frank's "Trust me", she found something.
She found that Gerard says, "Ireallydomeanthismtvsucks andimokay"
I dont know if any of you caught it, but I believe it.
You could tell that they were not comfortable being there, maybe didn't even want to be there. Gerard even remarked about how they feel like they're from mars.

And I agree with those who are against mtv. There are soo many more bands out there that are ten times better than mtv bands. And even if a band sucks, they are loved by many people simply because mtv is "cool" Being a fan since the beginning, I believe that My Chemical Romance deserves way more than mtv. There are much better ways to go about fame.

[Skatetopunk]

I would seriously question the sanity of a band that would refuse to play on TRL. Good for them, play on TRL, play on the Food network or the fucking Women's TV network for all I care. It's good music and I don't give a shit who else supports it - the more the merrier.

Fuck Yeah dude...MCR is a great hard working band and they should have every oppertunity to get exposure and unfortunatly MTV is the only way to reach some kids... and hey someone will see them on MTV and like them enough to start gettin into some other simmilar bands... so it is good both for them and for the scene as a whole

[angmr]

You're on "absolutepunk.net". In case you haven't noticed, there is much more out there in the punk scene that is less "normal" than MCR. Maybe they don't want to be "normal dudes", ever think that maybe that's just what they LIKE? :wink3:

[AnonomusVsCA]

i like how they were introduced today as friends of simple plan

[angmr]

Yeah really.

I like how The Used is dealing with fame. And staying away from mtv. As far as I know they haven't been on trl, right?

[70x7]

Yeah really.

I like how The Used is dealing with fame. And staying away from mtv. As far as I know they haven't been on trl, right?
I'm pretty sure they've been on a few times over the past two years

[angmr]

Oh, okay. Thanks, I've been wondering about that.

[fullerm]

In all reality, My Chemical Romance didn't work "their asses off" . Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge came out only 7 months ago and before then hardly any people gave a fuck about them. So to call them a sellout is wrong seeing as though their growth was exponential starting only a very short time ago, so the fact of it is they have been sellouts since out of the gate. And seven months is probably the shortest time a band has ever gotten this popular and the short time period has mad their "hard work" not existent. the fucking scene is driven by the internet and its now rare as fuck to have really any unkown bands because the internet spreads music like wildfire.

That's really not true. Whenever a band blows up out of nowhere it is fast. Because, that is what blowing up technically is. I remember seeing them like 2 or 3 years ago, and they would just go up and down the East Coast seemingly non-stop, playing to nobody for years. So as far as I'm concerned they did work their asses off. I mean nobody gave a shit about Jimmy Eat Wordl before they came out, and although everybody will claim they did, most didn't, and they skyrocketed to fame in about the same amount of time after Bleed American came out. Same thing with Yellowcard except My Chemical Romance is nowhere near as popular as them, nor will they ever be.

[classicjazz123]

MCR never changed their image at all, what you see is what you get. Although, im not a fan of their music, people should still respect their acomplishments and how they have always stayed true to who they are. I saw them play at one of the smallest venues around in a small town around a few years back and they still played with as much enthusiasim as they would on trl or any other much larger show for that matter.

Uhh you do know they have TWO albums out now. Three Cheers was NOT their debut. They've been doing this for a long time.

[k3vc05ta]

did anyone watch the crowd, probably the most tame crowd ive seen mcr play for

[_rescuemyheart]

did anyone watch the crowd, probably the most tame crowd ive seen mcr play for

i actually think the crowd was scared of them.

[WSUskee]

yeah it was kinda funny to see them on TRL. I hadnt seen TRL since carson was the host its been a long time and yes it still sucks. Simple plan introducing them what the hell was that but Gratitude at the end was nice.

[lovenotwar_rx]

When it was posted that they were going to be on TRL, wasn't MTV asking for 6 huge fans of MCR to be on the set and such? Um..I watched. Where were they? (If I got my information correct that is.)

[sweitz03]

they covered the cymbal falling and the bass drum moving out really well. i give a lot of credit to the drummer, just kept going, and when the song was done, didnt seem like it got to him. so that was pretty cool, cause shit happens

[XlenceOfXecution]

well ill never get to meet them again.... :headshake

[self reliant]

I would seriously question the sanity of a band that would refuse to play on TRL. Good for them, play on TRL, play on the Food network or the fucking Women's TV network for all I care. It's good music and I don't give a shit who else supports it - the more the merrier.


my sentiments exactly..who the fuck cares

[sceneunheard]

I watched it, and honnestly, I was more amused by the trl audiences reaction to them then anything. The host even seemed afraid of them. They're a great band, and if they want to play TRL, then let them. By the reaction of the kids in the studio today, I don't think that the MTV audience is going to be eating them up like you all thought they would. More power to MCR.

I just watched it on replay because I wanted to see if you're right. I taped it also. I've watched it like 10 times and he talks way to fast to actually decipher what he is saying so I think your friend is just hearing what she wants to hear.

it's one thing to play "im not okay" on live on mtv. it's also another thing to play something like "headfirst for halos" live on mtv. i wish that they would play something like headfirst for halos on mtv cuz dude that would so fucking rock! hELL YEAH!

Their best "on air" performance was the Conan O'Brian Show

am i the only one that thinks mcr went downhill drastically from "Bullets" to "3 Cheers"? i would like to see them go back to their old selves. one of the members said something about how in "bullets" they alienate their listener with long and more complex instumental parts that werent necissary to the songs and that for "3 cheers" they tried to cut that out and were much happier because of it. turns out they cut out one of the things that made them unique and more exciting to listen to.

I respect your opinion, especially seeing as you're a Minus The Bear fan, but this band is definitely not a gimmick. What you see is what you get. These guys are so sincere and genuine and love what they do and make the music they want to. There is nothing fake and contrived about them. I understand if you don't like their sound or album, but at least realize they're doing what they want to do (in regards to the music they're making, TV shows they're performing on, etc.) and they wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm a minus the bear fan and i love them. :lol2:

i agree that bullets was a better album, but it wasn't a drastic drop in quality on 3 cheers.
