My Chemical Romance

No, my chemical romance isn't about chemical compounds and how they relate to hormones, endorphins or anything else. My chemical romance is a music band that's also known as My Chem or MCR. My Chemical Romance is an American rock band that's been around since 2001; at least as far as the music charts are concerned. As a matter of fact, My Chemical Romance hails from New Jersey. It's not so easy to categorize exactly what type of music they play, although 'alternative rock' would be a good place to start.My Chemical Romance band members include Gerard and Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro and Bob Bryar. Mickey is the one who had the honors naming the group, and he says he got the name from a book called 'Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance'. Wherever the name came from, they began as the brainchild of former band member Matt Pelissier after he witnessed the 9/11 attack on the World Trade towers, which prompted him to write a song called 'Skylines and Turnstiles'.Eventually, My they signed a record contract and their debut album, 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' was cut and released. My Chemical Romance followed that album in 2003 with their second, called 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', released in 2004. The album went platinum. But all was not well with the My Chemical Romance band members and Matt Pelissier left the group due, according to gossip, to an argument with Ray Toro about his drum playing abilities.In 2005, My Chemical Romance warmed up audiences for the Taste of Chaos tour and then later for Green Day, and later that year, they opened their very own tour around the United States. Following that lukewarm success, My Chemical Romance joined in on a benefit single that was released on iTunes and Internet music download websites, playing for a cover of 'Under Pressure' of Queen fame.More recently, in early 2006, they released a new CD titled, 'Life on the Murder Scene'. My Chemical Romance then proceeded to work on their third release, cut under a working title of 'The Rise and Fall of My Chemical Romance'. Fans will just have to wait and see what develops from that.Last year, in 2006, mishaps befell two of the My Chemical Romance band members while working on a music video that caused the band to cancel several appearances. Nevertheless, My Chemical Romance had fans lining up for their show in London this past summer, to kick off the release of their latest album, 'The Black Parade', which was released in the United States later that year.You can check out My Chemical Romance on MySpace page and on their official website. Their latest album reached Number One on the UK singles chart, their first. And for all the My Chemical Romance fans out there, prepare for a 2007 My Chemical Romance arena tour in England, though whether or not My Chemical Romance will add performances in the United States isn't known at this point in time.Still looking for the perfect romance?

The band was formed shortly after the terrorist attacks that occurred September 11, 2001. The lead singer, Gerard Way, was so touched by his firsthand witnessing of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center towers that he wrote a song called "Skylines and Turnstiles."It wasn't long after he wrote that song that My Chemical Romance became a reality. Slowly the band picked up members, from Matt Pelissier to Ray Toro and Mikey Way, and slowly My Chemical Romance became a reality.Then drummer Matt Pelissier hosted recording sessions right in his home. In Pelissier's attic, creations like "Our Lady of Sorrows" and even "Cubicles" went from idea into reality. The band garnered thousands of fans by networking through MySpace, eventually landing their dream of signing a real record deal in 2002 with Eyeball Records. At that point the band had caught up with their new guitarist Frank Lero. He was originally of the band Pency Prep, but the band had become dismantled, giving Lero the freedom to bring a little something extra to My Chemical Romance.The band went on to sign with Reprise Records the following year in 2003 and even released their second album, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge." Although they only released three singles from it, My Chemical Romance's sophomore album went platinum within the year. Matt Pelissier was no longer the drummer for the band because of some argument with one of the other band members, and Bob Bryar had stepped in to take over. They have opened for Green Day, been on the Vans Warped Tour, and even had tours of their own.A sign of true success in the music industry, My Chemical Romance released its own DVD or CD box set called "Life on the Murder Scene." There is a DVD with all the ins and outs of the band and another DVD with music videos and band footage, as well as a CD included.The third CD for My Chemical Romance is currently in the works, and there is word that it is nearing completion. They are often classified as rock, emo, or alternative music, but My Chemical Romance was created with a purpose, and they have stuck to their original vision rather closely. They received their first exposure through Myspace, yes, but My Chemical Romance has made it through the Internet into a popular and successful presence in the music industry.
