Bess is Yoda In The Murder Scene Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 20910 | shatterwall: WRONG. Gerard doesn't even have a home, which just proves how little you know about the band. XD |
Shatterwall Motor Baby Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 842 | I know, he says he is homeless, I was just making a point. And even if he is homeless, he still has more money than most people on this board, and they're making it from fans like you. But its cool, cos if they didn't, they wouldn't be here. |

fabulous killjoy. Moderator Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 46256 | Hear/Say: America's College Music Newspaper P14 under "Check out These Hot Rock Releases!” My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade” The Black Parade is way more dramatic, way more theatrical, completely over the top, borderline psychotic," says Gerard Way. It is a celebration of love and death and darkness. P16 Center page another picture of them and it says “Everyone Loves a Black Parade" My Chemical Romance Returns With An Ambitious Concept Album- By Jeff Niesel P19 (In Bold): If you believed the rumors circulating on the Internet, you’d think My Chemical Romance's bleached-blonde singer Gerard Way is gay, lives in fear of Marilyn Manson (who's threatened to kick his ass for copying his look) and single-handedly got Guttermouth kicked off he 2004 Warped Tour. It's not likely any of this is true, but it's not easy to get Way to discuss it. According to his publicist he's "burned out on talking" and isn't doing much in the way of interviews. Perhaps that was just a way of brushing off this reporter, but whatever the case might be, the fact that Way is as central a figure as there’s been in rock 'n' roll in the last two decades. He might just be the Kurt Cobain of the new millennium, though we certainly hope he doesn't meet the same grisly end. Ambitious in much the same way as recent albums by Thursday, The Mars Volta and Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance's new offering, The Black Parade, is only getting to heighten the scrutiny of Way's personal life. The album's central character is a kid called "The Patient" who can't get past a strong childhood memory of a black parade. "If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see/you can find out firsthand what it's like to be me," Way sings in the opening number "The End." The song may or may not be a reflection on the personal life of the guy who proudly sand "I'm not okay" on the band's last effort, 2004's multi-platinum Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. There are plenty of reasons why Way, who reportedly sees a therapist on a regular basis, is still "not okay." He grew up in a part of Jersey so dangerous, he wasn't allowed to go outside and play. That, in turn, allowed him to develop his imagination and foster an interest in the fantasy worlds of comic books. He originally set out to be an illustrator and wrote his first song, "Skylines and Turnstiles," when he witnessed the Twin Towers tumbling to ground from the New York office where he worked. Along with bassist Mikey Way (his brother), drummer Matt Pelisser (since replaced by Bob Bryar), guitarist Ray Toro, guitarist Frank Iero, Way formed My Chemical Romance in 2001, naming the group after an Irvine Welsh novel (you know, the guy who wrote Trainspotting). The band issued "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" in 2002 with the help f Thursday's Geoff Rickly, who produced the disc and gave the band instant cred in the burgeoning emo/screamo scene. Thanks to exposure via a Taste f Chaos tour as well as opening slot in Green Day's American Idiot trek, the band's popularity exploded. Black Parade succeeds where other prong concept album fail in that it's not pretentious. Way isn’t afraid to write conventional love songs like "I Don't Love You" and "Cancer." And "House of Wolves" is sleazy rock 'n' roll that sounds like Motley Crue. Even the most theatrical songs have a whimsical quality. The tune "Mama," for example, starts out like it's a Broadway tune but then goes broke with a cameo courtesy of Liza Minnelli. Other tracks such mimic the operatic vocal style of Queen's Freddie Mercury and even feature Brain May-like guitar riffs. Diverse and masterfully produced by Rob Caval (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Chris Isaak), The Black Parade is an accessible rock opera that separated My Chemical Romance from its screamo and emo peers. And given the title track, with its horn and string arrangements, is as much a departure as anything on disc, it was a gutsy move to make it the first single. Screamo for people who don't like screamo and emo for people who don't like emo, The Black Parade, which sold some 250,000 copies to land at the top of the charts in its first week of release, is bound to make Way and his somber bandmates superstars. Here's to hoping Way, who allegedly has a history with substance abuse, doesn't suffer the same fate as The Black Parade's "The Patient" and a litany of rock stars currently six feet under, and gets out of here alive. If The Black Parade is any indication, he's got a few more ambitious albums in him.* Bottom right of the page it has an advertisement for The Black Parade featuring Welcome to the Black Parade and Famous Last Words. |

Kirstyf Jazz Hands Age: 48 Gender: Female Posts: 363 | The guys are briefly mentioned in the January 2007 issue of Q. TBP is in the top 100 albums and WTTBP is in the top 100 tracks. No pics and the text is really brief so not worth scanning even if I had a scanner! I've also had my worst suspicions confirmed that Q have rubbish taste - The Feeling and Kasabian both come higher than MCR in the top albums. There's also a reference to a download from xfm - don't have the link details on me right now but I'll post it later. |
