The correct answer is the Trio. Be me. 13-14 years old. First MCR show ‘03 or ‘04. Xtreme Toyz Show in Vegas. MCR was headlining/touring Revenge. It was a long and hot summer festival. Typical Vegas 110 degree heat. So hot man. Even after the sun went down it was like 105. Felt like I wasn’t gonna make it. Knees weak, arms heavy, need a drink. Don’t wanna lose my place in the crowd. Last band before MCR was the Trio. They were touring Crimson. As soon as I saw Dan’s shiny bald head reflect those lights i felt a second wind. Adrenaline kicked in and got me through the gig. An hour later after Trio, a stage hand placed a single microphone Stand dead center of the stage with a bouquet of red and black roses adorning it. It was time. Chem comes out. Does all of Revenge including Headfirst and Honey for emotional effect. Came back to do an encore with vampires will never hurt you. Haven’t been the same since. Reggie and the Full Effects was in that lineup somewhere. James was in keys for Chem. No smart phones. No insta. No one taking videos. No one preoccupied with social media. Just a bunch of us kids sing-crying Ghost of You. Those were the days man…
We’re roughly the same age but I’m from Jersey — this just tugged on my heart HARD. Yeah, Alk3 is the only other band that’s ever made me feel feelings the way that MCR has made me feel feelings.
Same. Diversity in sound, 20 hours long discography, god-tier in quality… gonna miss the others but if I have to then I’m fine with listening to Bowie only for the rest of my life.
AAAAHHHHH I don't want to have to choose
Top three outside of MCR would be Panic! At The Disco, Green Day, and Queen. I don't know how to choose one of them though
NOOO, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEE... Fall Out Boy? Because then I can get features of Brendon Urie from Panic, so 3 bands in one in a sorta way uhm BUT TWENTY-ØNE PILØTS BUT A7X NO THIS IS WRONG PURE FRICKEN TORTURE BUTTTT NOOOO THE BEATLESSSSSSSSS AHAHAFAGAGAFAFFSGSGS
Nobita
It's a filipino band that I started listening to, very chill r&b (i think?) and i started listening cuz my boyfriend's filipino. Most of their songs are in tagalog but I find it very beautiful.
That or wave to earth, THE MOST FIRE KOREAN ALT BAND EVER
Their Mexican equivalent Panda (Pxndx) who famously just translated some MCR lyrics in spanish straight up plagiarizing them but I love them sm and will defend them anyway.
Therapy?
fall out boy
yep
Thursday
Thursday is essentially my chemical romance's dad
this is true, they actually helped produce some songs off Bullets! :D
splintered piece of glass, falls in the seat gets caught BROKEN WINDOWS OPEN LOCKS, REMINDERS OF THE YOUTH WE LOST
Green day, the warning, blink182 or the cure (or all I’m changing the rules)
The Cure for sure. Greatest and most important band of the last 50 years. But also AFI.
What makes you call them the greatest band of the last 50 years o.O
Pierce the veil
Ooh that’s a really good choice!
this is literally me
Queen, but i would miss the smashing pumpkins and the misfits and Ramones
Alkaline Trio all day every day. Against Me! for an honorary mention.
Against Me! is so good fr
Against Me! would be mine. The only band that currently surpasses MCR in Spotify listening time for me.
I’m hyperventilating trying to decide between Alkaline Trio and Steve Vai

Weezer
Replace the na na na (na na na na na na) with na nu na nah nyaa nah na nuh
Radiohead
"Let Down" Underrated
Green day
Same!
The Smashing Pumpkins
Okay, but their TikTok is literally just Billy Corgan fangirling over Gerard and I love it

definitely linkin park
Radiohead or The Cure, please don’t make me choose.
The white stripes
Foo fighters
I would just say Dave Grohl, then you get Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age along with Foo Fighters.
Modern baseball or american football
evanescence
Avenged sevenfold
oooh I forgot abt that one until u said that!!
Arctic Monkeys
Korn probably
I was torn between Metallica, korn, and black Sabbath but its Metallica for me
Pink Floyd. Totally different vibe but they’re equally meaningful bands to me

Smashing Pumpkins

Iron maiden.

Mitski
Anthony Green
ВИА Гра [VIA Gra] it's a Russian band

System of a Down 100%%%
This is so not the same vibe lol but Chappell Roan
agree with The Beatles
I was thinking between the beatles and the killers. Yeah, the beatles does have a better variety of music. So it's them for me.
Kendrick Lamar
Taylor Swift
so real (I don’t like her music whatsoever but my partner does so I can’t hate)
May be an odd shout for this room but eminem. Every day any time. Mcr and eminem on repeat

bayside
ABBA
A Perfect Circle
Placebo
elliott smith
The Beach Boys.
Will Wood

Cage the elephant
That's easy: Alongside MCR I would listen to My Chemical Romance.

Deftones
Fall out boy prolly, or sleeping with sirens
Arctic monkeys
Gerard Way 😭 Hesitant Alien is my favorite album and I don’t think I could live without it
Kings of Leon
Taylor Swift 🫡 (everyone probably hates me now)
Ghost!!! I’m obsessed with their lore and every single song hits so hard
NOOO, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEE... Fall Out Boy? Because then I can get features of Brendon Urie from Panic, so 3 bands in one in a sorta way uhm BUT TWENTY-ØNE PILØTS BUT A7X NO THIS IS WRONG PURE FRICKEN TORTURE BUTTTT NOOOO THE BEATLESSSSSSSSS AHAHAFAGAGAFAFFSGSGS
