Guitar Hero II on 360 gets My Chemical Romance pack

I thought only 13-15 year old girls liked them. Are you a young female that fits that demographic?

Come on. Not all bands that are popular now made crap before. It's like saying Weezer is crap because Beverly Hills is popular. Granted their new album is meh, but their old stuff is absolutely amazing, same with MCR.

Yes teenage girls like the new stuff...

Thank you.. Green Day is my favorite band, and I'm sick of hearing all of the negative things. It's always "Old Green Day is good... American Idiot sucks." When half of everyone I talked to can't mention a song that isn't from Dookie, and can't name a song that wasn't a music video or on the radio.

Nowadays it's just cool to follow what everyone says. "Green Day/MCR sucks" "Yeah they do!"... Doesn't that go against the whole idea of being punk? I'm just sick of idiots shooting off their mouths to be one of the "cool kids".

Yeaaaah. Number one, MCR and Green Day are not punk. But then, you're the exact market those bands cater to, Dragod, becuase you'll believe that bullshit. I agree, Green Day used to be good. Used to as in their last good album was Insomniac and then they went the prom route. Green Day was a good band, yes, but never a punk band. But then so many are are too young or don't even care to remember what real punk rock was all about. It sure as hell wasn't about "Time of Your Life" and attempts at "concepts" such as American Idiot. Even the mighty Clash fell when they issued the godawful, three-album disaster Sandinista! But even that crapper is better than American Idiot. Go figure.

Ooh, you're a clever one. Haven't heard that they're not a real band before, bravo.

And lay off of the caps lock key, kid.

I wanna play anything off I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love... Mostly Cubicles or Drowning Lessons...

We comment on things to either praise or bitch about something. If you dont like it, dont read it, enough is enough...

Oh Matt, kudos to you fro dragging out the "pull out a real guitar" argument. Golf claps all around for that bit of wisdom. As a guitarist myself who has indeed written his own songs, I, and everyone else in agreement here are allowed to think MCR sucks when it comes to "rock" music, and being thrown onto this game in particular. Being a real guitarist or not has nothing to do with this; it's the idea that anyone over 18 would find these songs worthy of "playing." What's next? The entire contents of the latest NOW That's What I Call Music! CD? It wouldn't surprise me.

All good calls. Especially Dino Jr! Killer solos in some of those songs...

Not that we all care too much, but whom do you suggest?

you shut your whore mouth about poison! jk (though those cheese cock rock songs would be kinda fun to play on gh) At least this is a misguided step in the right direction. With all the ozzy (bands featuring) in both gh s u would think that he would have been a prime candidate for a song pack. after all those f*%k ugly kids could use some cash for surgery or rehab.;)

I agree with you to a point. When a band takes a certain sound and squeezes every last cent from it, they then disappear save for a few devoted followers. From "I Brought You My Bullets..." to "Three Cheers...", I felt that was exactly what was happening, and that the next MCR album would me more of the same.

It surprised me that they went concept on "The Black Parade", and completely departed from the general repetitive sound of their earlier albums. The test will be their next album in my opinion, for "The Black Parade" showed how MCR is not afraid to play to their Classic Rock influences with an album that was dynamic and cohesive.

And as far as predicting the future of rock, how does anyone know where a band will fit in the future of rock and roll history? That measure is not really apparent until it is actually "history", yes?

I seem to recall someone who we see now as a total freaking lunatic was once named "The King of Pop". I also remember a band whose memorabilia was burned in every southern state that went on to promote Socialism during the Cold War go down as the greatest band that has ever been.

I'm sorry Leobebes, but I think most of your criticism of MCR is based on how they look, and an often repeated single on the radio. I'm not defending MCR as teh greatast band evar!, but after listening to "The Black Parade", I can't agree that MCR lacks innovation or artistic progression, for that was really the main driving force behind that album. They still have a long way to go, and like 95% of the bands out there now, will probably not make it.

Farseer, I know what you are trying to say, but here is my grip if MCR was all about their music then what is the deal with the over the top, decorative facade? I take a look a the picture above and you know what I see? Smashing Pumpkins from Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness. I see a poser band emulating trying their darnedest to emulate Queen which was a band that did not take themselves too seriously therefore making it part of their appeal. These guys go out of their way to stamp their influences on their forehead and luck subtlety, therefore making them the most derivative artists since Weird AL. If MCR fans think its all about their music, then tell them to stop parading around in costumes and wannabe goth makeup and get ups especially if they claim they are not EMO punk.

Point well taken. I try as hard as I can to distance myself from MTV and the like, so I really didn't know that MCR was so married to their image.

Some Mastodon would be awesome

Well he already got Wolfmother, and we're getting Dragonforce in GH3 (completely fucking impossible though) so I guess all we need now is White Stripes

I'm just excited about my fingertips exploding on...


THROUGH THE FIRE IN THE FLAMES! See, the name alone made me rockgasm.

Rockgasm (v)- to experience large amounts of rock n' roll in a relatively short period of time, thus overloading the brain and ears with awesomeness, thus causing the quick relaxing of muscles and inducing a sense of euphoria. "While I was listening to 'Fury of the Storm', I rockgasmed and got rock goo all over my computer screen."
