MCR about to reveal their new album

[Leocadius]

It looks like MCR are about to release their new album as their website has changed to a load of cryptic messages on a radio http://www.mychemicalromance.com/ and their official Facebook is going haywire with like a dozen comments every minute since the weekend. http://www.facebook.com/MyChemicalRomance?ref=ts#!/MyChemicalRomance?v=wall&ref=ts I know last time they weren't received well by a minority of Slayer fans but they managed to win the crowd over and the sort of hate ship has sailed on a bit.

I reckon they could do sub headline like Paramore or maybe top spot depending on how this album does. What do you think?

[Sparticus]

can't wait for this, listened to the black parade for the first time in a while last week, fantastic! What was I thinking missing them for klaxons a few years back lol.

[Joe-]

As long as they don't headline and theres something else on I can watch instead then don't mind.

[sjp_121]

According to Gerard Way... their new album is completely different to The Black Parade...

Alot more (and I can't belive I'm about to say this) Punk

I have a strong suspicion they where booked for sometime on the GnR day this year... but the whole drummer thing made them pull out.

I do think they will appear somewhere next year... and I ain't that fussed, I do quite like them.

[Role Model]

As long as they aren't headlining, but I certainly didn't cry any tears when they were missing from the line-up this year, and won't if they aren't on it next year.

Interesting.

If they head in a (sort of) Punk-orientated direction in this record, as (sort of) preluded by their cover of Desolation row, it could be an interesting idea. They would then have the depth and the musical variety e.g. with their first real mainstream album being the soundtrack to the "Emo revolution" of the early to mid 2000's, then their second mainstream album being an overblown, pompous Queen-esque concept album (in a good way). A Punk styled album, that sells well, would justify a headlining slot.

People may not like the idea of it. But they would have the support to headline, might have the musical depth to to pull it off and do have the right sort of cultural importance to justify the slot.

Personally however, I would prefer to have The Cure headline the festival with a two hour slot and MCR subheadlining. I'm not holding my breath though.

[gazza_20]

pretty much cert i'd say for sub-healine to green day looks visible.

[Vieuphoria]

I hope the album is a massive failure so they start to creep back down the lineup ala Lostprophets.

[Leocadius]

Lostprophets are and were good at Reading though. And MCR into Green Day would be the best thing ever.

[Captain Frogarm]

Lost Prophets f**king blow. They are an embarrassment. I've seen them twice now and both times all I wanted to do was thump the lead singer in the face. I would rather watch Bradley off Eastenders shitting for an hour than listen to their generic teeny pop bullshit again. Rant over.

If they played then I would retreat to the far end of the campsite to hide and hope I didn't hear a single bit of their set

I get the feeling that MCR have past their peak and really doubt they could justify a high up slot

[**shandy**]

I think a killer single and a number one album will most likley comfirm My Chem as a Headline act. They have already done arena tours, have a massive fan base and The Black Parade was a huge success whether you liked it or not! I do believe they have the potential to headline.

[Role Model]

MCR headlining would be laughable, sadly if Paramore can Sub, it means MCR can though.

[Leocadius]

I have never understood the hate for younger newer bands. Sure some of the fans are annoying but both of those bands are good.

[mrtourette]

I've already assumed that these chumps will be turning up, although I hope to god it isn't as a headliner. I managed to avaid Paramore this year so as long as MCR are only subbing hopefully I can do the same next year.

LP were dreadful at Reading, to be fair to them they're capable of better, but seriously it was one of the most auto-piloted performances i've seen in ages.

[Jailbreak]

Iv seen Lostprophets a few times, usually brilliant, but were terrible at Reading this year, wished I hadnt missed the first half of streetlight manifesto for them

[rexclark]

Wouldn't mind seein MCR at Leeds but I don't know if they could headline or not, it all depends on how the new album is recieved.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

I think their popularity has fallen too much for them to headline. Subbing maybe, but they don't have the fan base they used to.

I have to admit, a punk style album might work well, given their cover of Desolation Row. I feel i've always been uneccessarily harsh to them...
