Well, just FYI, I'm not much of a fan of MCR, so I wouldn't exactly call them my "precious band".
I just don't think its right for people to go around trashing bands. Whats the point? Does it change anyone elses mind or make anything better? Just because you don't like their music doesn't mean they are not talented. And the opposite is true.
You might not like a song you heard by any given band, but you might like one of their other songs. You have to be open-minded enough to give it a chance though. I dont say that you can't dislike a band, but does it really do any good to trash them? The people who like the band arn't going to change their mind...
I'm not saying that people shouldn't come into a forum and "spout" their opinion, but their are ways of saying things that are smarter than others. Saying "This band sucks" is a very poor way to present your opinion and in all likelyhood, will turn people off to whatever else you have to say. A little bit more tact and explination may actually persuade people.
But who am I to say these things, just a newbie...
