justcause Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I already posted this in another thread, but see what you guys think of this, from a review of the The Black Parade. I don't know enough of MCR's stuff to have an opinion on it, but the rest of the review made me interested in the album because of the ideas and concepts, and I'm definitely gonna check it out:-As for more recent touch points, Green Day is the obvious one; that band's longtime producer, Rob Cavallo, helmed "The Black Parade," and he leads My Chemical Romance into the quick stylistic turns that won the Bay Area band a Grammy for "American Idiot." Way can also do a dead-on vocal imitation of Billie Joe Armstrong — his accuracy almost disarms the album's title track, lifting the listener out of the hallucinatory narrative to wonder how this upstart had the guts to copy the pop-punk master.Here's the link for the whole thing - it's not all critical by any means.http://www.calendarlive.com/music/reviews/...l=cl-music-util Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clusterbomb Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 they pretty much have copid green day.they did choose rob to produce it, i was reading an interview with him and he said mcr asked him to make them as big as he made green day with american idiot.and the whole using the good riddance guitar and the black and red and all that shit.ye theyre pretty much wannabes that can afford to be but arent exactly because theyre no where near good enough.lest see how long it takes for whatsername to bitch about me lol.

Peter.

TotalBasketCase13 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 When I first heard all this, I thought they were trying to copy GD too, but after listening to all their new songs and reading/watching interviews I came to the conclusion that.....they're not! *jaws drop in amazement* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Armstrong Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 This is getting old now.*sigh* ok, you want to do this?1. Green Day did not invent the concept album or rock opera2. My Chemical Romance have never called their album a rock opera3. MCRs previous album Three Cheers... was also a concept album, and it was released a couple of months before AI4. Green Day don't own Rob Cavallo, he can work with whoever he wants5. Sam Bayer: see above.actually, i remember reading somewhere where they said it was a rock opera.
