15 year old me was always so heartbroken when I was never able to go to a MCR show and over the following 15 years I made my peace with it. Now they're having what appears to be one reunion show on the opposite end of the country. I can't afford that. This just rips open old wounds, man. California gets fuckin' everything.

I want to hear some new music too. I wonder if they're recording too? God please. I know I was digging some of the solo tracks Gerard had been putting out.

I'm not about to judge fans who haven't listened to it, but I keep getting Loudwire articles in my Google Now headlines about MCR stuff and they have a worst-to-best list of all MCR songs and Cubicles was second to last and just... ???? Sure, it's a bit unpolished, but it's one of my favorite tracks on the album with one of my favorite MCR lines ever in it. I just can't agree with that list at all. Our Lady of Sorrows has always been pretty sick too

Bust Rodd posted:Yeah I was looking up tickets for Atlanta and it's $135 but the tickets say its for 2-day admission. Thats actually a pretty good deal if there are other bands playing, its like a little mini Emo-Festival. That's a ridiculously good deal, go for it. I almost considered going for the Chicago show (because gently caress Indiana I guess), but the only tickets are 3-day Riot Fest tickets (starting at around $180) and I'd be assuming that's outdoors and for me, in the summer, is a big no thanks. Would be cool, but I'll take the indoor venue personally. My friend and I paid $222 each all told for seats (175), parking, and ticketmaster gouging fees. We're in the back of the arena in the bleachers. The Detroit show more or less sold out in less than an hour. Resale seats are already popping up. Some of the resale seats in our own section are $500+. Holy loving poo poo. I should quit my job and just be a scalper. poemdexter posted:I just got through the queue for the Dallas show. 150+ for nosebleed as far away from stage as possible. Hard pass for me. I just refreshed and there's only one "standard" seat left for $150+ in the nosebleeds. All of the seats that were once way cheaper are now resale seats for almost 5 times the price, or seats that Ticketmaster turned into "Platinum" seats for 5 times the price. This should be loving criminal lol

poemdexter posted:Riot Fest owns and you should go (if the lineup is good). Too late! I'm already out $444 until my friend's google pay to me for his ticket processes. Rent's tomorrow too!  (it should be in my account by tomorrow so it's fine really but dang)quote:I'm way more excited for the Silverstein anniversary tour at my favorite small venue. Another band I'd love to see live. I actually didn't know they were still doing stuff since I haven't followed them since after... Arrivals and Departures? but I still really loved them in high school. quote:What are the chances they are pulling a MCR reunion tour with no new albums? Or maybe pulling a Dashboard Confessional and pivoting to "yet another bearded indie band"? It's hard to say. The Smashing Pumpkins' reunion tour in 2018 was a blast and tied with the release of a new album, with more on the way this year. I'll be sad if there's no new MCR music coming from this because holy poo poo guys, please see how much the world has missed you, your shows are selling out in literally an hour-- but I feel like something new will come. On the other hand, I also wouldn't mind another Gerard Way solo album. I genuinely have liked his solo work. and not sure why you quoted the Bright Eyes tweet but I'd love to see that as well. Being an adult and finally being able to enjoy the things kid!me never could has a bittersweet charm to it.

Hellworld and all. I haven't lived in Indiana my whole life to not know how hellish midwestern summers can be. I ain't gonna enjoy the show as much if it's stupid hot out. camoseven posted:Bright Eyes already announced a reunion tour and new album. They're headlining it, yeah. When I saw the announcement I was wondering why ticketmaster didn't have anything for the Chicago show, and that's where I saw they'd be at Riot Fest. Of course, last I looked I didn't see that any one else had been announced to be there. And I just checked out Bright Eyes shows. Of course they are all in California or New York. Love Bright Eyes, but not enough to drive 10 hours or pay to fly all the way out there.

BigRed0427 posted:Tried for philly, hoping for cheap seats. Those ARE cheap seats at this point tbh. Unfortunately. I love MCR to pieces but man seating at these shows are restrictively expensive. I spent more for my bleacher seats in the back (not balcony) in this show than I did to get a stageside bleacher seat for the Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour. The same area for this MCR show was over $600 before resale, and was in the $900s last I looked.

I loved MCR when I was 14 and still love them now, a week away from 30. Enjoyment of music is subjective as all hell and I never really understood why people get so fussy about what other people enjoy. Gatekeeping and letting the "scene" influence your opinions on music is just weird and I'm happy I broke myself of it a long time ago, because it has resulted in me drastically expanding my horizons on music and different music genres. I don't even just ironically or nostalgically enjoy them, I still actively think albums like Three Cheers and Black Parade are genuinely good. (I mean, obviously there's some nostalgia. But you know what I mean.) On the other hand, I was one of those "kids into them at the time", too. So  And if you don't like them, that's cool too. Tastes be like that.

It was just a massive departure from the other three albums that I dont think everyone knew what to make of it. Danger Days was when I fell off the MCR train for a while. It didn't and still does not have the same charm to it that Three Cheers or Black Parade had to it-- or even Bullets for that matter imo. I gave it another chance last year and my opinion has solidified on "it's not bad but it feels hollow". It just feels stuff and doesn't have any of the emotional punch that the prior two albums had. Like it's cool, I get that they love comics and nerdy poo poo and Danger Days is a super nerdy album and I appreciate that, but MCR's appeal to me has always been the raw energy of the band tied with Gerard just barfing every ounce of his heart into the lyrics and I think that's just kind of where Danger Days falls flat for me. I still like Gerard's solo work far more than Danger Days-era MCR and it would be so cool to hear some of that live sometime too. Framboise fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Feb 1, 2020 |

We have no idea if the curve has been sufficiently flattened and while I’m not privy to your financial situation, I know I was super bummed on not jumping on MCR tix when I had the chance and now we’re facing a global recession and ticket money is safe in my savings account now. Yeah, as someone with MCR tix in September I've been suddenly super loving worried that it's either gonna get cancelled or postponed to an incompatible time for me. That's something I've been wanting to do for 15 years, man.

I'm not blown away by the new MCR track. Love the band to pieces, but the track doesn't really go anywhere and the mix sounds really muddy. Really hoping that if this is pre-empting a new album, it's at least polished up. GreenBuckanneer posted:That was something, but I have something better: Bullets deserves more love honestly.

Dunno if this is the right thread for sure, but I figure Bright Eyes falls under the emo genre? Apparently they're releasing Companion EPs for all albums released so far (excluding the most recent) with remade versions of songs from each album, some with features from other artists, like the Fevers and Mirrors companion album featuring Phoebe Bridgers on a few tracks. I can't justify the money buying all of them but I definitely want the Noise Floor, Fevers and Mirrors, and I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning companions... EDIT: Apparently some of those rolled out back in November and I was none the wiser. drat.

I really liked some tracks from the newest one, but it definitely didn't have the rawness some of the earlier releases had. I get it though, yeah. It's definitely cashing in on nostalgia and I'm fully aware of it. Still want some of 'em all the same.
