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.

31. It's sad that MCR got food poisoning. I hope they are all better by now.
As for that picture, anyone with their mouth wide open wouldn't look very good. Plus, no one HAS to fix their teeth if they don't want to. Maybe he's secure with how he is.
As for the fans who has sent death threats, that's a little much. I mean, you don't see the band going back to the cafe' trying to kill the guy or even say anything bad against him, so why should the fans get all worked up? It's really not that serious, plus the band said they would try to make up the dates they missed.
And people talk about younger posters being immature, but when people make stupid and unneeded comments about someone they don't even know personally and probably know nothing about, it just shows how immature they are.

32. You rude people need to quit picking on Gerard's picture and the music his band plays. Their music is not just liked by kids, its liked by adults to, who know good music when they here it! I would like to see pictures of all of these people who are making fun of Gerards teeth, to see what their teeth look like! That is if they even have teeth!
