I have no idea.

Let's assume they were put together. What's your big news?

well it also means they don't write their own songs, and their just the hard rock/rap version of a boy band. Easily it makes people lose lots of respect.

I know that the band (minus chester) sent their first to the record company and were rejected. So then Chester came (thanks to the record company) and wellllllll you know the rest

I think they've gone through some band members, but I don't think they were put together. I'll ask my friend Jess, she knows everything about them.

I read an interview once where they were asked if they were manufactured, which they denied.

I do know they write their own songs. Their first album was based on (the other one, not Chester. Sorry forget his name)'s diaries from his teenage years. Apparently their songwriting style is a bit different. They write their songs and record them, and then mix them around on the computer, recomposing them into completely new songs sometimes. He mentioned they sometimes have to relearn songs to play live because they changed them up so much while making the album.

I hope this is goodbye wrote:And Taking Back Sunday.

i heard that the new TBS isnt that bad, but i havent seen them live...

but the two people who lefts band, Straylight Run, are already heading out on tour, they have a backup female vocalist which should be interesting.

the new taking back sunday will never be as good as taking back sunday 2 years ago.

EVER

and linkin park owns, they aren't put together by some record company like nsync or whatever.

just because a band is super popular doesn't mean they cant fucking rock

eminem is super popular, but he is a genius, he knows exactly how to push people to the edge then bring them back.

and nirvana was/is super popular but i dont hear people saying that they were "put together by some record company"
