My Chemical Romance
Biography
With their emo-punk songcraft, theatrical vocals, and stylized neo-goth appearance, My Chemical Romance rose from the East Coast underground to the forefront of modern rock talent during the mid-2000s. In keeping with the tragic element of the group's best-known singles -- including "Helena,", "I'm Not OK (I Promise)," "Famous Last Words," and "Welcome to the Black Parade" -- My Chemical Romance has roots in catastrophe, as frontman Gerard Way decided to form the band after watching New York's Twin Towers collapse on September 11th, 2001. Drummer Matt Pelissier joined the project one week later, while Way dealt with his growing anxiety by penning the group's first song,"Skylines and Turnstiles". Guitarist Ray Toro climbed aboard soon after, and the quintet's ranks solidified with the addition of bassist Mikey Way (Gerard's younger brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With their lineup in place, the bandmates began playing shows along the Northeast Corridor and made plans to start work on an album.
My Chemical Romance's debut effort, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, appeared in 2002 courtesy of New York's Eyeball Records.

If you know what you're doing, you might find him ;) Don't try this at home. And if you do... don't mention me. |

I meant in real life... argh, never mind.
I can't wait for the new album. |
||

"christian homeschooler s " Seriously? Why do people insist on displaying their ignorance on the internet?
|
||
... what does public school have anything to do with this?
|
||
for once, i agree with Bob with his opinion of rap. I hate rap.
|
||
And jesus christ would you christian homeschooler s learn to fawking spell.
|
||
A lot of closeted homo rage in here since I've been gone.
Anyways if you bratty scenesters wanna continue to indulge this Disney-fied excuse for "punk rock" or "goth punk" or "emo-sexual pop punk gay rape fest music" that's fine. Just don't come complaining when you figured out that you were duped by Viacom to buy a product that has no grass roots foundations. Listen to some Bad Religion and stop being such p**sies. |
||
That's just freakin pathetic! U say that u hate them yet u took the time to go to their profile and write a hate comment!!! Get A Effin life!!
|
||
He diserves it... u don't talk about Mcr that way!! Just cause u don't like them doesn't meen u hav 2 bitc* about them all the time!! I <33 their music and if u don't u can go away and shut the fu** up!! (And yes i'm talkin 2 u Bob Coffins and ricky wallie if u r still typin crap)
|
||

|
||
Don't argue with Bob Coffins and other dumbasses. They're idoits who will drag you down to your level and beat you with experience
|
||

|
||
oh, ok. I was just curious.
|
||
but anyways: www.justin.t v / s u b m a c h i n e p r o d u c t i o n s
live shows coming soon |
||
I don't listen to music.
What the youth of america have done to music has made me only want to view art and read prose now. |
||
nice sarcasm, dude.
beside, what do you listen to anyway (since obviously you hate this band)? |
||
Congratulati o n s , you looked up ACTUAL goth-metal groups.
Everyone give her a round of applause! |
||
Moonspell, Nightwish, and Epica are gothic metal.
|
||
Evanescance doesn't count.
Actually My Gynelogical Romance Doesn't count either...Whi c h means your opinions don't matter. Victims of marketing. |
||
too late. I've already jumped into the gothic metal bandwagon. :)
|
||
Someone should hurt you all while you sleep.
There is nothing that would make me happier. Well, maybe for emo-pop to die over night. But that is eventual. I'll just be sad to see a bunch of Bush era retard children jump to death metal when this dies off. |
||
I actually prefer The Black Parade, but I don't discard their other works.
but I'm just not into them lately.. :/ |
||
I <3 their old stuff. I HATE their song the "black parade". hopefully the new album will be like the old suff!! Cross your fingers!!
|
||
i get bored wit thw new stuff, but the old ones like Headfirst for Halos never get old. long live MyChem!
