A band from New Jersey. Simple as that. Some people like them, some people don't, but personally i think that all the people who come on here saying they are "shitty losers" and saying they "fucking suck" and making other unjustified comments need to get a life and find something better to do than criticise a group of people they don't even know. To the people who say that MCR should die, do you think YOU actually contribute anything to society by slagging off peoples taste in music? This band have helped people, have you? Save your sad, unjustified opinions for when you become someone significant and the world actually gives a fuck about what you have to say. (bit of a rant there, sorry)
They are a band based in New Jersey (who have never claimed to be emo, goth or punk, so stop saying they have), very good live.
Gerard Way-vocals
Mikey Way-bass
Ray Toro-lead guitar
Frank Iero-rhythm guitar
Bob Bryar-drums
They have released 3 albums: I Brought you my Bullets, you brought me your Love, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, and the Black Parade, and they also released a live album and DVD set entitled Life on the Murder Scene.
My Chemical Romance are a band from New Jersey. Some like them, some don't, end of.
1.A great band, fronted by a man called Gerard Way, who don't deserve the crap that retards throw at them. They are NOT poseurs because they do NOT classify themselves as any type of rock when they really aren't. (For an example of poseur look up Avril Lavigne or Ashlee Simpson.) They actually classify themselves as "pop". Does that spell poseur to you?
2. A teriffic band that has recently come out with their second album, "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge". For those preppy girls who watch TRL and ONLY TRL, NO it is NOT their second album. Their first album is called "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love". Once again, the chicks who THINK they like them just because of ONE song, aka "I'm Not Okay", would be another example of poseur.
Posuer Fan- "Like, OMG! Have you heard about that totally hot NEW band called My Chemical Romance?! Their lead singer, Jerry Way is sooo totally hot!"
Real Fan- *break the wrist, walk away quietly*
A good band from Newark, New Jersey. They make punk/emo/pop rock. They fucking rule.
And to the kids who say ''OMFG MCR SUX!!1!11!!11!!1", shut up. Go back to listening to your Lil Jon & Eastside boys or Petey Pablo.
My Chemical Romance are an amazing band that have unique, poetic lyrics and band members that are just like normal people.
MCR don't even think of themselves as famous.
they live in NORMAL HOUSES.
They are not emo, they are beautiful, violent pop.
They have never reffered to themselves as emo unless being sarcastic.
Their lyrics are more sophisticated and deep than any crap "gangsta" singer's.
what sounds better? My chemical romance: "oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying."
"imaginary wedding gown that you can't wear in front of me. a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell, as rice grains and roses fall at your feet."
Or these random crappy lyrics?:
"you gotta pump it up!!!!"
"im gonna take you to the candy shop..."
My Chemical Romance is a band from New Jersey, whom grew up on the same types of music as your parents. Social Distortion, KISS, Queen, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister; things that were big in the times that they were kids. What makes them "emo" or "goth"? Because they have a particular liking to the color black or morbid objects and themes? Bullshit. That just makes them a tad dark, not "emo fags who whine about how their lives suck". If you say that, you're a dumbshit. Gerard himself, as have the rest of the band, have said numerous times that they aren't emo, nor goth. If anything, if we were to label them, they would be violent pop or violent alternative music.
Gerard and Bert are not dating, nor have they ever. In fact, they aren't even friends anymore. They are just two guys who met while playing and singing the things that they love. What makes them different from every other rock band? If you think that Twisted Sister or KISS are "great rock bands", and think that My Chemical Romance is a "gay, fag-like band" because of the fact that they wear make up--then you're a retard. Ever heard of HAIR METAL? Or SEEN the make up KISS wears!
Frank is not "gay for Gerard". He's engaged, for heaven's sake! Just because they give slight pecks-of-a-kiss does not make them a gay couple. It's for jokes and giggles, and for the fans because that's what they want. THAT, and it's a free country to be bisexual, so saying, "I would date Gerard," should be okay and not "offensive". But, same as before, with the make up and the hair metal statement; bands like KISS and such played on fans' very emotions like that, too. Watch a live preformance, or something.
Have you ever seen them live? I have. Gerard himself talks about this subject on why people try to label them emo. They're doing what they love to do, play their own music. Who cares if it's dark? "Good rock" and "punk" talks about getting shitfaced and having sex, the government and death. Get over yourselves if you think they're emo. They're not. They're just guys doing what they love.
And, you know what? Listen to the "good" rock bands talk on interviews, and such. Listen to them and their theories about modern day rock bands. I've heard several about My Chemical Romance, and they were all good. GOOD! They don't have a problem with them, so why do you?
And, please. Don't say you want "their babies" or "to rape them" unless you're completely and utterly joking. It gets old, and I'm sure they hear it every day.
My Chemical Romance is not an emo band, but a group of guys doing what they love; playing music. What makes them any different from the bands you grew up on? Not much. Maybe a tad more make up depending on if you were a fan of KISS or Twisted Sister, or Scorpion, but that's about it. Get over yourselves. If you don't like them, don't listen to them.
"Be Yourself, Don't take anyone's shit and never let them take you alive..." Gerard Way.
"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." Gerard Way.
My Chemical Romance!Hmm?What is there to say except they fucking rock!!!!!I totally love'em!!!And to whoever said that we should listen to the ramones instead,well as a matter of fact I went to their concert wearing a ramones shirt.Well they totally rock,because besides being kick ass rock stars,I saw walking Gerard and Bob walking around before one of their concerts just chillin without bodyguards or any of that crap, and they werent stuck up to smile at me.(Even though I was to shy to go up to them,and i respected the fact that they wanted to keep their presence low key).Well any band that fuckin rocks,and loves their fans as much as they do is a god damn good band!!!I wish them all the luck with their careers and cant wait to go to their next concert!!!-Lizette
"Also, thanks for coming out to the headlining dates. We saw a lot of old friends, as well as meeting new ones. We didn’t expect so many of you to come, so thanks for rocking out, sweating and bleeding with us. Right now is a really exciting time for us, so thank you all for being part of it and being there with us."-MCR
An amazing band which are hard to describe. Many people class them as emo, but some class the, as punk. 'I'm Not Okay', 'Thank You For The Venom' and 'Helena' are all amazing songs which you should hear. If you dont like them I personally think you should get your faces out of your shitty backsides and start listening to them a bit more :)
And plus I'm seeing them in November lol..
