  • fuck u they r better then u will ever be

    ~ by mcr luver 11/6/2007

  • our boys were sick!!you cant balme them for canceling.have you canceled for a job.?YES YOU HAVE.were not gonna sue you for being sick are we.?leave them alone!

    ~ by meglins 11/6/2007

  • MCR is pretty much my life. So if one of them has a freaking MEDiCAL PROBLEM, then they have the right to cancel a show. They even offered to do another show at a different time, but whoever is doing this just had to be a biotch and try to SUE them! And all the people could so get their money back easily. So leave my chem alone.

• Have you ever heard them or going off what your stupid fucking friends say? There latest album is a great pop record. YES POP!

  ~ by marcfaster 11/3/2007

  

• I agree with Stacey, they are the spawn of Satan. Queen wannabees

  ~ by Lucifer 11/3/2007

  

  • umm, exuse me, they are not f****** satan lovers. you think they are the devil? well ur name is the one that means the devil, or is the devils name you idiot. so lay off, they rock, and there name and most of there songs have nothing to do with satan. and if they do, those were written while they were going through REALLY hard times, so lay the f*** off of them, they deserve so much more respect then people give them.

• wtf is wrong with you people if theres a medical issue then theres a medical issue i know most of you wouldnt go to a show if you where ill so leave them alone and they said the would go back and do the show at a later date and even of they didnt you will still get your money back eventually

  ~ by laur 11/3/2007

  

• this isnt unusual for a band to do this. i dont know why everyone is gettin so irate, deal with it. it isnt the end of the world christ.

  ~ by helen 11/3/2007

  

• ”I’m going to fight this to the death.” - Bit full-on there. I find this really stupid, My Chem said they’d honour the gig which is very admirable. Mr. Mitchell should really calm down. It’s not like My Chem are being rude or ignorant.. they should just negotiate something between them ie. the University and the band, no need for all this bother. And seriously, stop the bashing. What are you, like nine?

  ~ by Aileen 11/3/2007

  

• They agreed to do another show at a later date.The University turned it down. How stupid is that.Yeah they played the Friday show, but there was definetly something wrong and they ended the set about 15 minutes early.I know because i was there and was disappointed until i heard it was due to injury/illness.They are only human and i think the university is wrong to have turned them down for rescheduling a show.If i was part of MCR i would never do a show for this university,not after all this!

  ~ by Kenzi 11/3/2007

  

• ^^ Exactly, I don’t know what the Vice President of the University is making such a big deal about. The band said they’d play the show at a later date. And as far as I know, the drummer broke his wrist during a video shoot. They probably didn’t have the time to find a replacement.

  ~ by Geez 11/3/2007

  

• I don’t like MCR very much, but I do agree that the University is making this a much bigger deal than it has to be.

  ~ by Kaley 11/4/2007

  

• I’m a fan of MCR, but in this case, I back up the university. They are not show promoters, they are students. They must’ve devoted themselves preparing the show. Now, they had to cancel all the stuff like stage set, security, food, so on... They didn’t ask millions of dollars for the compensation. Just a tiny expense for MCR management.

  ~ by katelyn 11/4/2007

  

• Stacy and Lucifer should leave MCR alone obviously you dont know what music is :| and you should be slapped

  ~ by CrazyBitch 11/4/2007

  

• What the heck is wrong with you people!? Bob broke his damn arm! They shouldnt play if someones hurt! I mean think if it was you and you broke, got sick or hurt something you wouldnt have played! I mean if you hate MCR and is reading this you are full of sh*t! You need to get a life and leave MCR alone! I mean come on! Poor Bob got hurt! If you have anything to say to me email me! I would like to hear something about you. mcrissweet@yahoo.com so yeah you are retarded!!

  ~ by katie 11/4/2007

  

• This is stupid! If there’s a medical issue they should just leave them alone. They can always do another show at another time. Besides,later is better than never. Especially if it’s MCR. They’re totally awesome! I honestly love them so much, I would wait six months to see them if I had to! :)

  ~ by MCR FAN 11/4/2007

  

• give the lads a break. good music comes with a price!illnes is a product of breathing shitty air the fans exhail.

  ~ by me 11/4/2007

  

• That’s an ass BOB BROKE HIS HAND AND THEY COULDN’T FIND A DRUMMER THAT QUICKLY YOU CAN’T SUE THEM FOR THAT IT IS JUST SHITTY AND TO BE HONEST THEY WON’T WIN MCR WILL GET THE MORAL VOTE XX

  ~ by BEEBOO 11/4/2007

  

• Bob broke his fucking wrist!! How do they expect them to play with a drummer who has one hand not working?! xoxox

  ~ by Jodi 11/4/2007

  

• I think that this is a little over the top. I would rather go to a show where all the band members are feeling good than go to a show where one or more of the band members are sick and aren’t performing well. My chemical romance isn’t Satan’s music! They don’t suck! You don’t even know what you are talking about so STFU!

  ~ by JJ 11/4/2007

  

• bob bryer the bands drummer is trying to get over a serious blood infection!!you’d think the university would have a little consideration?!!..mcr where kind enough to offer to come back again and the university refused??..its not as if my chem had planned to cancell the show!!..what bob is recovering from is very serious!!and could well have been fatal!..i wish bob a full and speedy recovery and just hope that crappy little university gets ovr this little tantrum FAST!!

  ~ by i <3 bob 11/4/2007

  

• Jesus Christ! The university is having a fucking spaz. WHY would they lie about a medical issue?! Sure they lost money, but they’ll get it back! What more do they fucking expect?

  ~ by Kayla 11/4/2007

  

• What a stupid way to earn notice from a band who will never respect you again.

  ~ by Liz 11/4/2007

  

• Bobs broken his wrist! They couldnt find a replacement in time, how do you excpect them to play!?!? I think it’d be pretty hard with out a drummer.. They said they’d happily do a show another time, so why are people taking legal actions agaiinst them? Acts cancel shows all the time. Personally, I think this is very uncalled for, especially as a band member is currently suffering an injury.

  ~ by Elle 11/4/2007

  

• And MCR being ’shit’ is your opinion. But please dont express it in such a vulgar manor. I love them, as do many people. I find you calling them such horrible names very disrespectful and uncalled for.

  ~ by Elle 11/4/2007

  

• The drummer has an injury, clearly they couldn’t play. Just get over it. You’re not the only people who’ve had to miss out on a show, so just deal with it. They said they’d be back. Geez, talk about ungrateful.

  ~ by Debbie 11/4/2007

  

• I think that those at the university of maine need to get over themselves. mcr said they would play another show. SUCK IT UP AND MOVE ON! it’s not their fault they got sick or broke an arm or anything like that.

  ~ by ann 11/4/2007

  

• Hahaha! OMFG! Stacey, you don’t know shit! They are an incredibly talented band, with a lot more heart, and some serious determination, for them to carry on through everything they have had to endure, so fuck off and cut the guys some slack!

  ~ by Lurancy 11/4/2007

  

• They had a friggin medical issue. Are they stupid, would they have liked it if the issue got out of hand and My Chemical Romnce got hurt, or something, I meen realy now. And My Chemical Romance id the best band on earth, so leave them alone.

  ~ by Elisabeth 11/5/2007

  

• My goodness..MCR said they would play another date..just let them..good grief..they are trying to accomodate this university..Screw you University of Maine!

  ~ by MyChemfan 11/5/2007

  

• w/e, MCR is toadly fn kicken and they deserve all the best. w/e the problem that they had, they offered to correct it. The U of Maine should suk it. ya’ll should be ashamed of urselves! --xoxoxo

  ~ by Larissa 11/5/2007

  

• Ok, I know for a fact that the band’s drummer has had medical issues lately an I find them having medical problem very realistic, I’m sure they would have honored the contract, but good luck getting them to play now, so when you get your money back it won’t be worth missing out on the opportunity of seeing MCR play. YOUR LOSS ASSHOLES

  ~ by MCR_effing_ROCKS 11/5/2007

  

• HELLO, it’s MAINE. how many shows do you think we actually get up here? even though My Chemical Romance sucks, they still would be the biggest band to come to the University of Maine. but it’s not about the band anymore, it’s about the fact that students get billed entertainment fees each year along WITH tuition, so we can have just that...ENTERTAINMENT. if you went to school at umaine and saw your money being wasted on some flakey goths, you’d be irate too.

  ~ by hahahaflakeygoths 11/5/2007

  

• MCR can cancel if there is a medical problem. Check it out in the school’s book. It says it right there. Bob broke his arm unintentionally and shouldn’t be sued for it. It could happen to anyone and they know it.

  ~ by Lyn-Z 11/5/2007

  

• they so deserved it..and who knows if there really WAS a medical issue?? maybe thats just an excuse to wiggle out of it. Gerard gets what he gets. He’s lead singer he should be able to handle a situation like this. If he can’t that’s his problem. I’m with Stacey.

  ~ by like whatev. to them 11/5/2007

  

• Stupid Maine, fuck them

  ~ by Bob 11/5/2007

  

• i am on the entertainment board at my school and a lot goes into making a concert happen, mailnly a lot of student labor and money from the entertainment board. you have to rent staging, lights, sound,etc. hospitatlity can be in the thousands, especially for a band MCR’s size. MCR should def pay back some of the money. it will all come down to what the contract says and circumstances in which why MCR had to cancel.

  ~ by anna 11/5/2007

  

• the truth of the matter is, they didnt show up because it didnt sell out. they deserve to be sued.

  ~ by KELLY 11/5/2007

  

• As much as i love MyChem....I belive the university is in ALL it rights to sue.Of course if someone was truely ill or injured then the Universty is wrong. On the other hand Mikey was replaced temporarily when he got married so if it was anyone but Gerard they could also have been replaced for the show.

  ~ by Lindi 11/5/2007

  

• what the fucking hell is wrong with you people!??! BOB BROKE HIS WRIST!! How the fuck do you expect them to play...at your goddamn university...WITHOUT... THE... DRUMMER?!??! And don’t feel me bullshit saying they could have gotten a replacement. No one can pull a replacement out of their ass and play like nothing happened. So shut your whine ass mouthes and get the FUCK over it. Your getting their money back arent they,and they turned down a make-up show, so they’re being asses. CA

  ~ by [Ms. Mothersound] 11/5/2007

  

• so are we gonna sue the decemberist for canceling a whole tour due to medical difficulties? NO. So shut the FUCK UP and get over yourselves University of Maine.

  ~ by Kelsey 11/5/2007

  

• this is crazy..mcr would never cancel a show unless something was really wrong. i mean, mcr loves preforming and pleasing the fans, they would never cancel just because they dont feel like doing it. drop the lawsuit NOW.

  ~ by dani iero-way-toro-bryar 11/5/2007

  

• This is fucking ridiculous. Even if the dudes wern’t sick, whats up with a friggin lawsuit? There asking for alot of money. I hope My Chem kicks there asses.

  ~ by Cheeks 11/5/2007

  

• That is Fricken stupid omg Bands need to Cancel sometimes..its okay to cancel..jesus crist that is gay..omg..wth if it is a fricken medical issue then I understand..soo what if one of the band members where about to die..would they still sue them!? I AM SURE MCR would never want to let their fans down like that..they deffenatly didn’t cancel for no reason..now I so understand why MCR is pissed!

  ~ by Carlee.. 11/5/2007

  

• what the heck is wrong with you people!! seriously! i mean its a medical issue if im not mistaken its that Bob the drummer had broken his Wrist!(not sure) for the shooting of the video MAMA. HOW THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO PLAY WITH A MEDICAL ISSUE!!how would you like to play when your not well and unable to play. i would like to see Mitchell and all you others that are complaining about MCR canceling- go out and play injured. they will honor the show at another time. just reschedule! simple.

  ~ by sanemind 11/5/2007

  

• It isn’t a medical reason... well it kind of is. Bob Bryar broke his arm during the filming of the ’Mama’ video and had to cancel the show.

  ~ by Helena Toro 11/5/2007

  

• wtf is wrong with some of u ppl????? Bob, the drummer, broke his wrist. that was the medical issue. MCR hates cancelling shows and almost neer does unless absolutely nessacry. they’ll honor the show. they don’t owe shit! they’re the best abdn(in my opinion) and at buying the ticket u know that there’s a chance for cancellation and they will be refunded. get over it, and hope for the best for Bob! ^_^

  ~ by Dor 11/5/2007

  

• This case is stupid. The University isn’t going to win. You shouldn’t put your bias in it. There is no reason for the school to demand their money back, MCR offered to honor the show. You can’t subject someone or a group of people to unjust treatment just because you don’t like them.

  ~ by sarah 11/5/2007

  

• Awww.. I think they’re going too extreme. They have a medical issue! (I think it was Bob breaking his arm, or something)..Why can’t they let them play it another time?

  ~ by Mandy 11/5/2007

  

• I guess everyone complaining (or suing) about this has never missed a day of work. It must be nice to be perfect...or non-human.

  ~ by shari 11/5/2007

  

• tards. they should be sued for hurting millions of kid’s ears. =/

  ~ by bite-me 11/5/2007

  

• it’s better to have a show with them feeling better than a crappy show cause they’re sick. just let them do the show another time. gawd.

  ~ by Lexa 11/6/2007

  

• First of all Stacey T.You obviously dont have a life.If you hate MCR then why the fuck are you on here? The university is taken things way to far. The students probably have really rich families anyway.MCR couldn’t play due to injury, It’s not like there going to make something up like that.My Chemical Romance enjoy doing what they do.So why would they just dont bother going. Bob has broken his hand and last time I checked you can’t play the drums with one hand! ROCK ON MY

  ~ by =] 11/6/2007

  

• yeh i agree this does happen a lot to bands... but MCR are shit so it yeh... they should get sued.

  ~ by metal-lica 11/6/2007

  

• hey mcr didn’t want that thing to happen we should understand them.. they wanted tto have the concert but rescheduled it..! u people are so mean!

  ~ by anonymous 11/6/2007

  

• hey mcr didn’t want that thing to happen we should understand them.. they wanted to have the concert but to rescheduled it..! u people are so mean!

  ~ by anonymous 11/6/2007

  

• they are just trying to get money out of them becus they are a famous well established band

  ~ by vomiit 11/6/2007

  

• WTF? Bob BROKE his WRIST. How the hell can a drummer play with a broken wrist? How the hell can a band play without a drummer? This is total BULLSH*T. MCR doesn’t owe those jackasses anything.

  ~ by Shelby 11/6/2007

  

• bob bryar fuckin broke his arm so shut the fuck up all of u! how can he play drums with a broken arm??? they said thye will make the gig up dumbasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  ~ by andrea's pissed 11/6/2007

  

• OMG! this guy is a freakin asshole! if our boys are sick then what the hell do you expect them to do? i really need to bitch slap this idiot who thinks hes gonna come out some sort of hero for trying to bring up the stupidest issue ever! MCR loves their fans and wouldnt cancell a show unless it was really crucial, they even said they hate to cancell shows so why doesnt this retard just leave them alone and let them come back later? jesus christ this guy needs to get the stick out of his ass.

  ~ by carly 11/6/2007

  

• >_> Oh, isn’t that neat? Bob broke his arm. My Chem. offer to play another date and the University turns it down.. then they sue ’em o_O. What’s wrong with some other date? I get that this must suck, advertising the show and selling tickets and being all excited but this is a little over the top. :)

  ~ by kristín 11/6/2007

  

• jeez its not they’re fault someone got sick its not like they wanted it to happen...

  ~ by [.Blood.Sweat.Tears.] 11/6/2007

  

• A few points 1) MCR canceled the Saturday show Thursday night ”due to a medical situation” AFTER opening for Bon Jovi,2)then played FRIDAY night in NJ; & 3) as they have not yet rescheduled the May concert (which was canceled for a very valid reason), the University is understandably gun shy about expending any more funds to promote a show for them. If in fact Bob was injured, perhaps if their management had told the University this, there would be less anger. (BTW, I am a fan)

  ~ by Disappointed 11/6/2007

  

• hey! they’re not a shit! i know that they wouldn’t pull a concert just lyk that!! unless the situation is asking for it!!! don’t judge them!!!

  ~ by marauderdefender 11/7/2007

  

• o my... what a stupid university. If they play at another time, it’d still be good. I mean, do you want ot go to the concert and have a drummer with a borken wrist? well guess what? no drumming for your show! MCR is an awesome band and they’d be well worth the wait.

  ~ by lucine 11/7/2007

  

• Its true that they did cancel the show but it was a medical problem you can’t blame them! MCR said they would make it up to them but they denied the offer so its there loss!

  ~ by Teresa 11/7/2007

  

• the university needs to take the stick out of there ass and get on with they’re lives. My Chemical Romance=love

  ~ by Kayla 11/9/2007

  

• Universities don’t have a lot of money for these kinds of things, so 20.5k is a lot. The band canceled the Oct. 27 show at UMaine a few days before the date due to medical issues, but played their dates before and after the UMaine date, which led the SG to feel the ”Act of God” clause was breached. Alfond Arena (venue loc) takes months of pre-scheduling, as it also hosts multiple sports teams. UMaine turned down the reschedule because of construction on their own concert

  ~ by oy vey 11/9/2007

  

• maybe someone in the band is actually sick! And all you stupid MCR haters... Why are you here reading an article about them in the first place?

  ~ by Elizabeth 11/12/2007

  

• this is messed up! there is so much i wish i could say to these jerks! Mcr had a LOGICAL reason for canceling, bob was HURT and if he would have continued to play, like he wanted to do, he would have gotten EXTREAMILY HURT! these people will do anything for money, and look for the smallest reasons to slap a lawsuit on anyone for ANYTHING! its sick,and if they knew ANYTHING about mcr, they’d know that they ahte having to cancel shows,but sometimes they have to consider their OWN health!!

  ~ by xDezix 11/19/2007

  

• well obviously its a bit toooo extreme!! mcr is the best band in the world!! bt if ya reli wntd to actually see them y dnt accept wen they offered to do the concert!! its jst soo daft!! omfg!!

  ~ by Rachel 11/27/2007

  

• Maine is not like other states, that money probably seems like pennies to people in NY and CA but Maine is very very poor.
