And, both bands never talked about whether they were fighting. I have and interview in AP with the Used, and Bert just refuses to answer questions about it.COBRASTARSHIP! wrote:
Okay well basically no one's ever confirmed why Gerard & Bert aren't friends.
But the most likely reason is that Gerard got clean, and Bert wanted a drinking buddy.
But the bands don't hate each other. There's even a video somewhere of bert ripping up a sign that a used fan threw on stage which said 'MCR SUCKS', and he said "that shit's not cool".

I don't think they were ever fighting, just not really friends anymore.
They didn't have very much in common once Gerard got sober, so I guess they stopped hanging out, and Bert is immature and couldn't handle that, so he supposedly wrote Pretty Handsome Awkward about MCR, and maybe said a few things about them.
But now I'm pretty sure they're all over it, and don't dislike each other, just don't really have anything to do with each other anymore.
