I read about them in a swedish magazine, like back in 2005.
I remember they had this quote section, and Gerard's "Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit and never let them take you alive" and Frank's "This is a band that will save your life" was there, and I was stoked, cause I'd never heard a band bring such a message.

I kind of forgot about them for a while, until I came across some article about them on the internet a couple months later. I checked them out this time, and I think the first song I heard was To the end. I really liked it, but what made me realise their.. uniquness was You know what they do to guys like us in prison, which was the second song I heard. I fell in love with the theatrical style of it. I remember repeating it from the part after the first chorus ('They all cheat in cards..') over and over again. I don't think I ever had gotten so blown away by a song, and I still hasn't.

i heard about them from my brother's friend because he was singing house of wolves.

but i first actuly heard a real song from them at my friends house on her ipod. it was welcome to the black perade. now that is my favorite song ever.


so paint it black and take it back lest shout it loud and clear.

A Radio ad for Nintendo Fusion tour. MCR's music wasn't even featured, but the name just stuck in my head. I finally caught them on "Discover and Download" and I was hooked.

i first heard about them from a message board and one of my friends on there was a huge fan. i never even attempted to listen to their music or anything cause i was lame. lmfao. the only time i listened to their music is when helena was on tv.

but then in july 07 i was in my room and if i remember correctly, it was the very first showing of teenagers on fuse. i reallyy liked that song but i forgot who it was by. a day later i searched the lyrics and listened to it again. i decided to listen to the other songs as well, and yeah i got addicted. (:

Technically I was at my babysitters house when I was seven. I didn't quite know that they were My Chemical Romance at the time so I don't think that really counts XDD

The first time I heard them and fell in love with them was in fifth grade in the elementary school parking lot (my mom was dropping me off in the morning and she had the radio on). I got out of the car and started telling all my friends about it. If you can't guess, I got sent to the office for "talking about dead girls and inapropriate bands". Yeah... it was stupid. Hehe

I remember being in the car with a friend a few years ago on our way to a bowling alley. she had her ipod and said 'wanna listen to a band?'
i thought why not?
we listened to WTTBP. I remember loving the piano. which was odd, because now I'm not as fond of it. I just know that back then, I only listened to a select few Beatles songs. It was so different. And then I decided I was going to like them. I kinda forced them on me. After I heard I'm Not Okay, I knew this was a band that I would love. And I was right.

When my cousing that is from NJ sent me Demolition Lovers, its was... i cant explain what i felt in that moment, i was just 11 years old and i was learning to play guitar, so i tried to play Romance, the guitar cover that appears on bullets, so then of that... i never stopped haha.
Then of that, three cheers was almost out, and here in my country they wasnt "famous" or something like that, if you asked to someone here in Chile on 2004, they answered... WHAT THE $%$&% is that? haha.

I remember hearing Welcome To The Black Parade on the radio, back in 2006, and instantly falling in love with it, but not catching who it was by.

I never heard from MCR again until early this year, when a friend told me to buy The Black Parade. I saw WTTBP on it, knew I had to have it, listened to it - and I was so hooked, it was amazing! I bought Three Cheers after, and loved it, and recently bought Bullets, which I also love.

It was my first day of choir practice at my church and we were waiting for the nun that was head of choir and this kid pops Bullets into the cd player and I was hooked ever since.

I think I posted in this thread that I heard about them in first grade or something, but that cannot be correct since they hadn't even been formed back then. I honestly have no idea when I first heard of them.


****Is really, really bad at remembering.*

I was at my brother's computer, randomly browsing Myspace profiles and one had WTTBP as profile song. The piano intro caught my attention. By the time the song finished, I was blown away.

Firs time heard: My living room. I listened to two songs on purevolume.com, with my best friends on the phone.

First time I enjoyed: Living room still. Watching the VMAs.

In my computer class, I guess.
The teacher always played music on his computer and I heard WTTBP come on and I fell in love.
