There's such a big push in the world of music today to be original. When someone feels that their style is being ripped off, it's going to be annoying... especially if you already dislike said band/person. Think of it like this: You have a favorite shirt and you absolutely love it, and no one else has one like it. One day, out of the blue, some person whom you can't stand walks in wearing a shirt like yours. You're going to tell me that you wouldn't be a little bit annoyed?
It's really not that big of a deal,no, but that's the thing with the big industry- it's big and everything gets blown out of proportion. Marilyn Manson may have made one comment, and then the media took it and told everyone, and now a lot of shit is flying around. To tell you the truth, a lot of it is due to fans of both artists. MCR fans, particular. You guys are fucking crazy sometimes with MCR. If one little thing is said that could even be remotely considered offensive to the band, some of you act as if the person just killed Gerard's favorite cat or something.
As far as Bert and Gerard, no one really knows what truly happened between them, but I doubt it had anything to do with style. It was most likely that Gerard cleaned up and Bert didn't want to, so Bert was left behind. As much as I can't stand Gerard, I do have to say that I don't find much fault in him for that. I think it's shitty to leave your friends behind, but I do understand why.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.
Annnd, I'd just like to say to Captain the Captain in the most respective manner possible, MCR fans are not fucking crazy, we are not fucking anything, we are simply devoted to a sometimes ridiculous extent and that's the end of it.
