Cafe Owner Threatened for Giving Bands the Sh*ts

Posted May 10th 2007 12:10PM by TMZ Staff

My Chemical RomanceA Virginia cafe owner has received death threats after rock bands My Chemical Romance and Muse got salmonella food poisoning at his restaurant. Welcome to the brown parade!

After a gig at the nearby College of William and Mary on April 28, the bands stopped for a bite at Glenn Gormley's Green Leafe Cafe. Shortly afterwards, the musicians (and other patrons) got sick, which forced MCR and Muse to cancel several dates on their tour. Since then, Gormley says angry My Chemical Romance fans have been leaving him death threats. Holy crap! While the Health Department is investigating the situation, Gormley won't go into details of the threats.

According to the CDC, most persons infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The good news is that the illness usually lasts only 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment.

20. Brittany.... are you freaking kidding us.... first off learn how to spell and write properly.... next off I don't think I have ever seen a "retarded gay person" that is pretty odd.

People are glancing at your post and just nodding because it is a headache to read.... so maybe you are the retarded one... although a pretty smart retard for being able to type. Not too shabby...

The dude is nasty, untalented and yes he has a rotten grill. IF those are fillings that is gross. We are in the year 2007 there are porcelean fillings.... and most people can afford them these days... especially a "rock star" lol!

Best wishes Brittany.... ask your mom to call Sylvan this afternoon.... they can help!

24. I have eaten and partied back in the day at the Green Leaf Cafe. Its nots surprising that people get sick in the place from the food. Any time you would go in there it would smell like stale beer and I have seen the kitchen and I wouldn't let my dog eat there.
Luckly Glenn has his father in-laws money to fall back on and college kids drinking his beer otherwise he would be living in the alley next to his foul smelliing cafe. Oh and his new cafe in New Town will be a complete failure when word gets around about how he poisons his patrons.

25. Dudes,relax.
You're all not that handsome and pretty either.Who knows.Maybe you're all fuglier than he is.
Anyway,i can't believe fans would respond that way.I doubt the owner had any intentions of purposely poisoning them.

28. Just because they got a bad picture of him doesn't mean that you all have to be so vicious. He's a really nice guy who got caught in a bad pose. Please. MCR has quite a few devoted fans and the ones making death threats are not devoted fans. MCR does not promote violence and if they know this is happening, it will disappoint them. Some of the newer fans ( I said some) are way too maniacal and they are not fun to watch, hopefully it's them and they will just go away. Whoever you are, crawl back under your rock and stay there, we true fans want the boys to get better, that's our #1 priority right now.

29. i think that's bull crap, it happened two times. Someone should put an arrest on them. this band is awesome and i think they shouldn't take that!

30. these idiots were born with salmonella, would have done us all a favor if they just croaked and rtted away in thier yellow school bus

Who ever said that needs to be shot My Chemical Romance are an insperation for a lot of people. I know people that if it wasn't for My Chem they wld be dead. I know that it is a bit far to send death threats to the owner. But it has nothing to do with the band. So leave them out of it!
