Despite the negatives people attach on the band they've actually done a lot of good. MCR's music has one of the biggest and most devoted fan bases in the industry. I know, that weird girl or guy in your school who likes anime listens to them, so they must suck right? But don't judge a book by it's cover. Fact of the matter is, whenever I'm feeling depressed I'll listen to MCR. I've read countless internet posts from kids who are adament that MCR prevented them from cutting themselves, shooting up, and even killing themselves. Call them what you will but they're one of the few bands I've heard of in the past decade that can have such a profound affect on people.

A fucking awesome band

An amazing, super-talented band from New Jersey USA. The current memebrs are Gerard Way, Frank Iero, Mikey Way and Ray Toro. They formed in 2001, a couple of weeks after 9/11 after lead singer Gerard saw it. He wrote the song Skylines and Turnstiles about what he saw. In 2002 they released their first album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love which had the singles Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us, Vampires Will Never Hurt You and Headfirst For Halos. In 2004, they released Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, and they released 4 singles. I'm Not Okay (I Promise), Thank You For The Vemon, Helena and The Ghost Of You. In 2006, the brought out their biggest selling album The Black Parade and with it the singles: Welcome To The Black Parade, Famous Last Words, I Don't Love You and Teenagers. The album went Platinum in the UK. Their latest album (released November 2010) is Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys. There has been 4 singles Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na), The Only Hope For Me Is You, SING and Planatery (GO!). Over the years My Chemical Romance have had lots of criticism from many sources, and have been accused of being emo when they are not!! THEY ARE NOT! They describe their music as just Rock or Violent Pop. Often their band name will be abbrieviated to MCR and their devoted fans will normally says that they are in the MCRmy.

A band formed in New Jersey by Gerard Way
Other band members include Mikey Way, Frank Iero, and Ray Toro.
Unfortunately, they broke up today, March 23rd, 2013
They are simply inspirational, and they'll be missed.

A New Jersey- born rock/alternative band formed in 2001 consisting of Gerard Way (Vocals), Ray Toro (Guitar), Mikey Way (Guitar), and Frank Iero (Guitar). They have a new drummer, but I forgot his name. Sorry! MCR's sound has moved from dark and hard core to violent pop. :) I like it. They have been getting crap from the press in the past for being a bad influence on listeners, but time and time again they have told their fans to get help if they're feeling depressed and to feel like they are never really alone. They got their name from a book by Irvine Welsh.

For all you ass-kissing teens. not meaning to offend anybody, if thats what you are, thats what you are

Mikey Way- Not asthmatic, Engaged to be married.
Frank Iero- Also engaged to be married.
Ray Toro- Maybe he doesn't want you to fuck his hair.
Bob Bryar- Amazing drummer, he won't 'sex' you.
Gerard Way- Please don't say you would like to rape him.

These guys get under-rated so much for their talent even though they are currently in the spotlight. A bunch of hard working people who give their all into every single part of their jobs. Inspirational, most have fucked up and made mistakes but they learnt to deal with it.

A group of people just wanting to portray a message and take music to places that it hasn't been for a long while.

I'm not going to say that My Chemical Romance is the best band ever or that they suck. I honestly love them, 1 because I think their songs are good, 2 because they helped save my best friend's life.
Nobody should like this band because their songs are on the radio or hate them because they don't like their music. My Chemical Romance is a band, so of course they'll have haters and fans.
People say that My Chemical Romance is emo or gay, which is not true. You can try to pinpoint their music style, but you can't really. Each one of their songs has a different style that may or may not be noticed by the listener.
If you've only heard their songs from the radio then I highly recommend listening to some of their other songs. The songs that you hear a lot aren't My Chemical Romance, not truly. My Chemical Romance is all of their songs, every one of their albums.
A lot of people judge My Chemical Romance, calling them emo pussies. Sure that's your opinion. You can't call their fans emo or idiots for liking them, that's like blaming someone for falling in love with someone. You can't control the type of music you like, so just quit blaming people for liking them. You can't control what bands you don't like, so don't get all mad at the haters (although the people who don't like them could honestly learn some respect).
My Chemical Romance IS NOT a suicide band. They don't want people to kill themselves, hurt themselves, and they want people to be themselves.

A band from Newark, NJ. They have two albums out, the first one being "I brought you my bullets, you brought me your love"(eyeball records) second one being "three cheers for sweet revenge" (reprise). Vox- Gerard Way, Guitar- Ray Toro, Bass- Mikey Way, Drums- Bob (formerly Matt), and last but not least guitar- Frank Iero.
Yes, Mikey and Gerard are brothers. Singles so far: "honey this mirror isn't bing enough for the two of us", "vampires will never hurt you", "I'm not okay, I promise", "Helena".

Please look into them before being asswipes. I'm not okay doesn't do them justice (not that it's not good) but.. if you want to hear a real MCR song listen to something like " Thank you for the venom" or "our lady of sorrows" or something like that to get a better idea of their sound.
I saw them in october (04') and they were amazing.

Alright, there's a lot of mudslinging going on but here's the facts. MCR has never claimed to be emo or punk and have it documented. You look at the many many interviews scattered on the internet, every answer they give to what they sound like is "violent pop music", which I can agree with. Their sound is just really good so that's why they want to spread. And those who are somehow threatened by the bands look, those are show costumes. Basically, ever since they started touring, they've been getting darker imagery. When they aren't on camera, or on stage, they look like regular people without make up, I assure you.
