My Chemical Romance
Biography
Based in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punk-pop band that has been compared to Thursday and, to a lesser degree, Cursive. Their name was inspired by author Irvine Welsh (of Trainspotting fame), and while many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and pop-minded. My Chemical Romance got started in the early 2000s, when lead singer Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier decided to try writing some songs together. The first tune that Way and Pelissier -- who had been friends since high school -- came up with was called "Skylines and Turnstiles" (a post-9/11 song written after Way witnessed the Twin Towers fall while working at his animation job in New York City). Way and Pelissier both felt good about the song, and Way asked guitarist Ray Toro if he would be interested in working with them. My Chemical Romance's five-man lineup was complete when Way, Pelissier, and Toro joined forces with bassist Mikey Way (Gerard's little brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With that lineup in place, the band started playing all around the Northeast Corridor and made plans to begin working on their first album.
MCR- one of my favorite groups of all time. My son introduced them to me. I've seen 3 of their live shows, which were all incredible. I love Black Parade so much I had to stop borrowing my son's copy and finally get my own! This is a band so many people can relate to on so many levels, with the experiences we've all gone through and their very personal lyrics. And yes, the fact that Gerard is way hot doesn't hurt, either! Just an awesome band all around.

omg i love my chemical romance and mikey way is really hot i wish i could meet him!! =*)
|
||
if you dont like my chemical romance then dont listen to them!and i think you suck in a major way.
|
||
I wish it could've been her love for My Gyne Romance that was the only reason for dumping her but like I said before the personality clash was just too great. So now i'm back to say that this band sucks donkey nuts in a major way. And their fans too.
|
||
I think dumping a girl for her musical tastes is immature. My husband and I have very different tastes and we still manage to get along.
I mean, unless she insists that you attend lame concerts and pray in the Church of Britney or something, it's just a stupid reason to break up. |
||
I bought Three Cheers, The Black Parade, and am soon to buy Bullets when I get iTunes set up on my computer again.
They have an amazing, original sound, awesome, emotional lyrics, and a good attidude. They're not all depressed as a lot of people think, and they're out on the scene to save kids' lives and do what they love. Probably my favourite band of all time, and they have really awesome music videos! <3 |

I just wasted 30 minutes reading this crap. Bob is getting exactly what he wants from you guys. He wants people to argue, its how he makes himself feel superior. When someone posts stupid comments just ignore them and post something positive about the music you enjoy. Then Bob will have to face his worst fear, no one listening to him. I would also like to say that I like the song teenagers by my chemical romance. It plays from time to time on my pandora station and I think its a funny song.

...music. I also generally disdain the mainstream media but you declaring yourself the ultimate judge of what is "Good music" was pissing me off so I guess that makes me part of this flame war doesn't it? I'm not the biggest fan of MCR myself but hell whatever floats people's boats I guess... At least they're not advertising in their songs unlike certain others...
|
||
Just because you don't like something Bob doesn't really give you the right to ruin it for everyone else. Aren't others entitled to their own opinions? Some people might actually be able to get past the fact that "Yes this band is popular and part of the mainstream media" and not immediately write it off because of that? It's music and that is one of the things most open to interpretati o n in our society. Someone else might find some kind of meaning in MCRs music that you find in your underground

bob dont be annoying and killerdude u rock
(yes i said u not you!);p |
||
somehow I still don't feel very loved...
but seriousy, you say that women love how forthright your opionions are.. yet it seems that the only reason she's your "ex" is because she didn't like your music.. such a loving man |
||
And yes, it is true that I was on here not too awfully long ago talking about my ex and her crappy musical tastes. But alas the personality clash between us was too much for even my superb endowment to keep solidified so I had to set her free to be the fan MGR and ((rolling eyes)) second generation Misfits that she wants to be.
