- The band technically got started when Gerard started writing songs, calling over buddy Matt Pelissier to help out. Ray hadn't been playing guitar seriously for about three years, but went over there anyway to check things out. He went to practice in their attic and ended up being blown away by the style of music and writing Gerard had done. It was a real dark, edgy theme, still containing a slight pop element. The band’s name comes from an Irvine Welsh novel, and was suggested by Gerard’s younger brother, Mikey. The younger Way brother started playing bass with them, and soon they got Frank a couple months later to fill out the other guitar spot.
I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was released in 2002.
Bob Bryar Then Took Over For Matt During The Making Of Their Next Album.
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was released soon after and shot MCR off to success.
Most recently The Black Parade was released and reached top of the album charts in 2006.

Daily Mail
This week the daily mail published an article incriminating My Chemical Romance in relation to a young girl's suicide. I have one thing to say to the Daily Mail FUCK YOU!
My Chemical Romance are more than 5 emo guys trying to persuade us all to kill ourselves and join "the black parade"
They are 5 amazing musicians who SAVE LIVES, not take them.
It's times like these that MCR need their fans support, so join me in saying a huge big fuck you to the daily mail, and a huge big keep up the good work to the 5 amazing lads in MCR.3 Comments 566 days

NME interview with My Chemical Romance (Mostly Gerard tbh...)
My Chemical Romance will finish up their campaign for "The Black Parade" with a live DVD, before starting work on a "punk-rock" fourth album.
The band's October show in Mexico City - which saw them wae goodbye to their costumed alter-egos The Black Parade - will be released on DVD in March. They had planned to take The Black Parade format with them to their Australian dates last month, but decided to revert to their own identities after filming the Mexico show.
Gerard Way told NME "When we're playing as The Black Parade it's more methodical. There's definitley more rock theatre. But we're not afraid to rock out. We were supposed to go to Australia and perform as The Black Parade, but in Mexico we decided not to. We've got a lot of great memories - it was a hard step that record, a lot of lessons were learned. We didn't wanna put on those uniforms anymore, we wanted to be ourselves."
Meanwhile, the band are already well into writing for the follow-up to "The Black Parade", having premiered an all-new song on their November UK tour. Way explained : "We haven't told anybody the title yet because I noticed that if you change the title later, kids get pissed off. So it's just called "New Song" right now. It's one of those songs that just spills out of you and you're very inspired. It's nice because it's a return to punk rock music. It feels like a rock song."
Way said that, having done away with their theatrical stage show on their most recent dates, album four would most likely follow suit. "I think [the next album] will definitely be stripped down. I think the band miss being a rock band," he declared. "That doesn't mean we won't explore crazy ideas on the next albums, or do something even crazier. It doesn't necessarily mean we'lll start to take steps backwards creatively. But it felt, in a live sense, this what we do great live. And we're better musicians for having written and played "The Black Parade". To have that to play with in a live sense is really thrilling. We can cut loose more."
The new song, with a chous line that goes "someone out there loves you", is markedly more optimistic than most of the band's output thus far.
"It's letting somebody know something and it's knowing yourself, and it's a great thing to know," said Way. "It's a completely different direction, thematically, than what we're used to. We have stuff with a lot of hope in it but not like that. It's written from a different kind of place. It's not written from a place of scepticism at all."
Way went as far to admit that this new outlook is a consequence of his recent marriage to Lyn-Z, from the band Mindless Self Indulgence. "Absolutely," he agreed. "It's a direct result of learning something; learning something really amazing. That's what's supposed to happen to you as an artist and that's what's supposed to happen in your life. It's one of the benefits of being a songwriter, you can show all your colours as they come out. It's a really special song to me."

Break
My Chemical Romance have now began their break after the hectic-ness of Projekt Revolution.
Well hectic for most of them (-.- Mikey)
SO many rumours happened during these last couple of months (see below) but the lads got through it. And Gerard even managed to snag himself a wife
Congrats to them
Anyways, just to quell(is that a word) your fears, they havn't broken up! They'll be back in Autumn (or "fall" to you americans) for the UK and Australian tour (or is it New Zealand?)
Gerard Way has stated that we're looking at 2009 for the next album, so lets start counting down the days
I'm going to start a new forum topic about the new album, so please take a look and leave your view on it
