Welcome to Gaia! ::

I’m curious, what exactly are the haters saying that are appealing to you? I’d be easier to give reasons why that’s not try/ not important/ not so bad if I had some examples to go off.

But in regards to the band itself I think the best way to rekindle your love for them would be to get the heck out of the fandom. Shun other fans like the PLAGUE. I don’t know what’s been up with people these past few months, but it’s almost becoming a poison to the band. Too many people are getting too warped up in all the wrong things. The focus has been on all of the unimportant details recently like who Gerard Way is dating/marring. But that’s not why we got into the band. Just think back to what it is that first caught your attention. A video? A song? An interview? Go look at whatever that was and don’t think about anything else. Don’t think about what other people are saying about it, don’t think about what other people are saying about the band members, just think about why you like that song or video or whatever. There was a reason, there must have been a reason. But don’t get all nostalgic and start pining for the way it used to be, or I’ll be forced to kick you.

Next, when you’ve reconnected with the music, take a trip down memory lane and get reacquainted with les bois. Take a look at some old mag scans (some I just randomly picked off TIP: 1 , 2, 3, 5 (this one’s great) and 6.)
Again, don’t get melancholic for the days of yore. If you’re wondering why they guys seems to have been so much more personal things to say back then just remember that back then there weren’t thousands of squealing fangirls trying to get to know every last detail about these people. Back then the guys weren’t being interviewed by people who don’t care about the band but just want to sell copies. They didn’t have to be guarded back then. Doesn’t mean that they’ve changed completely as people, it just means that they’ve learned to keep that part of themselves out of the limelight.
Also go youtube hoping and watch some interviews. I suggest anything that has to do with SURS, new and old.

And then, after all that, think about how AWESOME your fellow hitmen are *coughcough* and how without MCR there would be no hitmen.

If you do all that you still haven't found that spark again, then maybe it's time to take a break from the band. Maybe you'll come back to it in a month, 6 months, a year and find that you fall in love all over again. But then again, maybe you won't. Don't feel bad though, and don't feel ashamed. People's tastes change, it's a fact. Sometime you are really into something and one day you find that you're over it. I hope that's not the case here of course, but you can't beat yourself up over it if it is.

I put so much effort into this post... I hope it helps...

What? Is that an insult?
;_;

Thank you so much =)

I'll try it.

The deal was that a lot of MCR fans were being retards and giving us fans a bad name.
And then all the haters would have something to do and be like "MCR is a crap band just created by the media to make little wimpy posers who are too scared to kill themselves feel like they belong by saying 'Mcr saved my life'"
crap like that.

Plus, I'm also into another band quite a lot right now.

I'll look at the interviews you posted.
And watch some videos.

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAAAAAIL!


you should copy and paste that into the rant thread. 3nodding

Carla: It wasn't so much of a rant as a long winded opinion really...

Sarah (What is it you want to be called now?): Well, you can't really force it. You're just going to have to go with what your tastes tell you. And even if you drop into the realm of 'very casual sorta fan' thing, we'll still love you.

And of course, there is the slight chance that everything they say is a lie, there's always that chance for everything. But if that's the case it's a damn good lie and I'm quite happy believing in it. I take what I want out of this band regardless of who the band members are behind closed doors. As long as they're not trafficking sex slaves or kicking puppies or anything.

Sarah it is!

Ah, if only more people would take that outlook on it...
Aw, that sucks that he left so close to your show. At my show he'd been gone for a bit already, but the day before, man that's annoying.

Well, as long as you're feeling better, that's good ^^

He does kind of look like Mikey doesn't he?

Yes, I'll cut their wives/ girlfriends all the slack in the world, but should they ever start interfering with the band THERE WOULD BE HELL TO PAY. The gloves are also off if any of them act like asses to the fans on a regular basis for no legitimate reason. But then I'd need a lot pretty good evidence. But unless they're affecting the band there's just no good reason to let if affect your opinion of the band. Point final.
