i didn't really care at first because their commericals were a tad annoying but i bought three cheers thinking it'd be good cause my friend raved about them. she borrowed before i could really listen. and she was like OMG you never heard blah blah so i gave it a listen firnally
they were very interesting, but i wasn't too into it at first...til i saw the video for helena then im not okay and fell insanely inlove with the band so about six years i have loved this amazing band who has got me through some hard times.

I thought they were awesome. And I still think that after five years.

The first video/song I watched was Welcome to the Black Parade.
I was watching it on Youtube, because I had heard about them and was curious.
I just remember thinking it was just... really, really weird.
But not necessarily in a bad way, but just weird. I liked it.

I also thought Gerard was weird too, like really odd looking, but I also thought there was something about him that I did like.
And I still don't know what that "thing" was.

I remember when I was about 11, I was having a party at my house and my friend's older brother had for some reason brought The Black Parade with him. he put Blood on and I just remember thinking that it was weird/stupid/rubbish. (at the time I didn't know who MCR were or that the song was by them.)

Then, about a year later when I had just started listening to (and liking) them, I heard Blood again and started screaming "OH MY GOD, I KNOW THIS SONG!"
Luckily no one heard me, or they would have thought I had gone mad! lmfao

So, I heard my first MCR song without even knowing it was them!

Man... I can tell you the time, the date, where I was, what I was doing... EVERYTHING, when I became an MCR fan ^^
I first heard WTTBP on a Kingdom Hearts AMV... as soon as the sort of scream-sing thing kicked in, I flinched and turned it off XD
But, meh, then it came on T.V the day after, and I got a chance to really listen to the song and get the whole story behind it and, I dunno, the story, to me, was really touching... so, I downloaded the song and balled my eyes out to it all night XDDD Because of that, I got kind of pissed at the band for making me cry (*sigh* I was such a defensive cow back then XD), and went off them for, like, AGES.
But then I heard Famous Last Words and was like ''>.< darn it! Why must you be so good?!?!?!''
So, yeah, that one was on my ipod after that also ^^
God, it was so weird though, I saw a stand at a market that I went to with my friend that was selling off a Black Parade shirt, I do believe and I was like to my friend (cuz I was out of dough at the time XD): ''Can you please lend me some pennies?? I NEED that shirt, they're, like, my favorite band!''... I said it completely without thinking, but they have literally been my favorite band ever since XDDDD (oh, and the date and time? 2:15, 23/7/07 ^^)

I saw a poster of them, and I thought Ray's hair was... a tad bit scary. Then I remembered my friend talking about them, so I gave her the poster.

Although I heard INO on the radio on the bus one morning and I thought, "Oh gee! They sound good!" And that friend offered to give me the cd, then warned me they cursed, and I got scared my mom wouldn't like it, so I declined the offer.

My friends were in mad love, then they finally got me to sit down and watch Teenagers when the video premiered. The rest is history. But at least I can say with confidence that I liked them before TBP. I was just young and naive. And I didn't understand the awesomeness that was Ray Toro's fro.

Confession: Wasn't a fan until TBP...

I was at the library, and for some reason my library actually has good stuff, cos I saw a copy of TBP. They had the little poster thing turned inside out, and I really liked the art, so I decided to check it out. (I'm majoring in art, so I often just pick albums based on the artwork.)

I am so glad I did.

I grew up listening to my dad listening to Pink Floyd, so at first I just liked it because it reminded me of "the Wall." Then I got my hands on their previous albums, and my love for them was complete.

Shortly after that came the obsession... I didn't really pay much attention to what they looked like, but when I saw they were on tour, got tickets, and the moment they got onstage, my first thought about Gerard was, "He's kinda good looking in person..." The rest is kind of history.

First I was on emobucket.com and looking for band pictures of Escape The Fate. (the old.) But I couldn't find as many cuz on every fucking page it was all just My Chemical Romance pictures. I didn't know about them, I think I called them emo once because someone was ditching on Tokio Hotel. (I don't like them anymore.) Well, back to the story. So I had a BearShare, which I deleted. I searched for my chemical romance and saw alot of videos from their halloween concert in Mexico. I didn't see the difference between Gerard's hair. xD And there were a song I liked really. So I went to Youtube and searched for my chemical romance - helena. I saw the musicvideo and had the same pose through the whole video. It was so awesome!! I listened to a song before Helena, it was My Way Home Is Through You and I was like: Surprised Very Happy THIS SONG IS SOOOO PUNK!!! IT ROCKS!!! XDDDDDDDDD So I just ran around like an idiot fake singing Helena all day long. That's how I got into MCR. And the stupidest part was that I though they were like that now. xD O.o

The first song I heard of theirs was Blood, I was expecting them to be older than they are and a lot weirder, but a good weird.

First song I heard of theres was Im Not Okay, and I thought it was terrible. I was into artist like Usher at the time so they weren't really my scene.But every time they came on screen I would hate it, but I'd never turn it over..I would just sit and watch and hate..lol
Helena came out and thats when I was amazed...
Now adays I'm happy that I never turned it over when INO was on..If I did I might not be the person I am today.
Of course INO is now one of my fave songs.....And I boo at Usher instead.lol

Well..

IT was the summer before 7th grade, my friend saw them on warped. and told me to chekc them out. She was at VBS when we were talking. I asked her if she like them, and she's all like, "oh, yeah. they're amazing!". I admit I was skeptical when I heard about "Give Em Hell Kid", bue I still pushed myslef to check them out. In 2007, I bought Black Parade, and fell in love. I remember crying when I got LOTMS becasue I was so happy. my sis thought I was crazy. I bought it to the cast party for the school play, and my band directer at the time drew the Demolition lovers on my sketch book. It ws awesome. Then at the cast party, I got them to put it in the DVD player, and this kid named Paul is like, "Julia, how'd you find that DVD? I like MCR!" so I told him I searched b&n, and HOT TOPIC. Then for christmas that year I got Revenge and Bullets. (STILL IN MY TOP 3 ALBUMS). ..................ive been hoooked eveer since Smile
