Usually, I can't remember what I did 10 minutes ago, but some things just stick in your brain forever. I was 21 or 22, and I was backstage getting ready to open for Taking Back Sunday. That's when I heard all of this commotion. The dudes in the main support band were chugging vodka and Red Bull and the singer was chain-smoking. I remember thinking that he wouldn't make it through the first song. After our set, I watched as they took the stage, leather-clad and fired up. Not only did the frontman make it there, but he was on fire. They all were. It couldn't have been a more entertaining, energy-filled, heartfelt performance. The audience went apeshit. I was an instant fan.
ANTHONY GREEN
Circa Survive
I remember seeing them at Warped Tour. They were playing a small side stage to small crowds, while we were playing to big crowds on the main stage. I told their singer that they were going to be humongous in a year. We made an agreement that if I was wrong, we would bring them out to support us on our next tour, and that if I was right, we would open for them. A year later, they had a platinum record and they took us out to support them on a sold-out arena tour.
MATT SKIBA
Alkaline Trio
"We were on Warped Tour together in 2005. Joe [Trohman] had to go home for a family issue and their guitarist filled in for him on the Canadian leg of the tour. I have nothing but respect for those guys."
PETE WENTZ
Fall Out Boy

My Chemical Romance.
mcr
Never going to stop loving this band. It's My Chem of course! Ridiculously excited for this cover now.
Considering that Anthony at 21-22 years old makes it 2003, 2004 and circa survive and taking back sunday toured with them, I'm going to go with My Chemical Romance.
Yeah, it must be My Chemical Romance
that would suck if mrc is on the cover.they've already been on there before, and they arent even that good anymore. Their first album was amazing though.
I GUESSED IT RIGHT FIRST. Does that mean I get a t-shirt, AP? You guys gave one away last year...;) And google confirmed my guess.
WOW. i can't wait. I renewed my subscription for the year just for them on the cover. YAAY!
Attackattackisamazing, if you think MCR suck now and you think AA is amazing....you shouldn't have an opinion.
It has to be My Chemical Romance. I have no doubt in my mind it is those 5 New jersey boys that will be gracing the next cover of Alternative press
@amberisamazing i dont think that mcr sucks, i just wanna see a band on the cover that has never been on the cover.
@attackattackisamazing ........you said they aren't good anymore. They're getting the cover for Most Anticipated Album, which is chosen by altpress readers. Most of the time AP chooses bands who haven't been on the cover. If some other band had gotten most anticipated THEY would be on the cover. It's nbd.
Clearly it's My Chem, and at the moment, I have to agree. I also have to agree with amberofcourse about Attack Attack. I mean, seriously, that shit's just noise!
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE OF COURSE!!! <3 <3 they rock!
...Anthony is looking a little heavy...is that why they are putting trees in front of his face....
^No, Anthony looks healthy. Seriously, wtf? Anyway my sources say 5 covers: My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, Gaslight Anthem, Motion City Soundtrack, Academy Is. It COULD just be 5 for 1 of those bands though.
nooo, thats one issue i will be enbarassed as im buying they should put good bands on the cover, not bands that havent been good since there 1st album
I'm thinking that it's either Motion City seeing how they have an album dropping early 2010 or MCR.
@amberofcourse i wasnt trying to make it a big deal, i wasnt just saying an opinion.hopefully the new album will be as good as their first. @sleepwheniamdead hahaha
it better not be mcr, worst band ever. ill be pretty embarrassed to own that issue if they are on it. i mean first afi is on the cover and now mcr?! thatll be strike 2.
MCR all the way
my chemical romance! god, i love that band.
Being a chem fan and even having a chem related tattoo, it would be great if they were on the cover, but can you imagine the disappointment, now that everyone thinks it is, if it actually isn't them on the cover? Haha. Oh man.
i sure hope its my chemical romance. :D
¬.¬ Another issue I have to rip the cover off and trash before reading.
I know it's MCR and they are awesome!
WAIT whoever is saying Attack Attack is good needs to serisously evaluate their musical taste
