I am currently in the process of constructing a book titled "The 100 Reasons we love MCR."

I have:
20+ reason for why we love the band all together
and
20 reasons why we love Gerard,
11 reasons we love Frank Iero

I need:
9 more reasons we love Frank Iero
20 more reasons we love Ray Toro
20 more reasons we love Bob Bryar
and
20 more reasons we love Mikey Way

I could also use more reasons for why we love the band as well.

This is what I have of the book so far, and any other reasons would be a life saver. If you could give me some reasons it would be greatly appreciated!!!
thanks

The 100 reasons beginning:

Why do we love My Chemical Romance? Some may be able to answer this question with great detail, and some may not be able to put it into words. Some may know in their heart and some may distribute it perfectly in their minds. In this book we decided we'd put our reasons into words from our minds, our hearts, and our souls.
This book was created by a bunch of My Chemical Romance fans who have made an oath to forever remain a faithful My Chemical Romance fan. We've made it to remind MCR that we, as fans, are willing stick with them through the thick and thin. We are all soldiers in the MCRmy and we will gladly stand and march with the black parade to wherever it make take us.


Start:
Why do we love My Chemical Romance? It's actually funny that you've asked that question. We have 100 Reasons Why We Love MCR right here in this very book. We love them because......

My Chemical Romance has saved our lives. Whether we were on the path towards suicide and depression, or whether it was some other cause... They have brought us back from our brutal destruction, they've given us a reason to live, and nothing could be better than that!

Their Music makes us feel like we belong. We could be completely different from everyone in the world, but when we listen to MCR we all have a place to escape to. We have our own secret place where all our worries disappear.

They've opened our eyes to the world around us. We could sit in our rooms hating the world, but MCR has made us realize there's more to it than the bad things. They've shown us that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

They care about their fans. They love us all as individuals and as a whole. They've befriended strangers and respected those who dissed them. They love their fans so much I'm willing to bet they'd do ALMOST anything for them.

Their music is amazing. They don't have a fake sound that some bands have, and their lyrics have meaning. They are amazing live as well! You can tell they put their heart and soul into everything they do!!

My Chemical Romance understands us more than anyone could. They hear us when other people won't. They may not realize it but they've pretty much hit us, as a whole, on the nail. Their lyrics tell a story to each individual.... a story that means a lot to each person. They show us with their music that they know what's going on and they understand.

They, as a band, are in it together. They're a family made from scratch. They've shown us a great example of a good bond between people. And they've included us!! :]

They give wonderful advice. The little things they say at each show help more people live on each day.

They amuse us and break the awkward boundary. With the boundary down it is a lot easier to say how we feel and express ourselves. They've murdered and reincarnated the boundary into something amazing!

They respect us. It is really awesome how they can get up on stage and bring things like homosexuality and weight problems into perspective. And with doing this, they don't diss us. They make everyone realize and respect those individualities! Oh and we really respect them for sticking up for women.

They're true inspiration. My Chemical Romance has shown us that you can take something small and make it big. If you pursue your dreams anything can happen. They give meaning to the saying, "If you don't jump you can't fall, but if you can't fall you'll never be able to get back up."

They're equal to us. They don't try to pretend they're better than us and they know more than we do, they learn from us as well. And we learn from them.

They've taught us that even when something goes wrong between people that we aren't supposed to hate them. There's too much hatred in this world... they spread the love!

They've taught us to stand up tall and not to take anyone's crap. Though they've taught us to love, they've also taught us to not let people take advantage of us. We are who we are, and no one can take that from us.

We can be anyone we want to be and they still love us. With My Chemical Romance, stereotypes don't exist. There's no such thing as a nerd, or a geek, an emo, or a prep... we are all people.

They help us expand our imagination. Each song has a story and we have to find it. Our lives all have our own story and we have to find it. They're music has helped us start the search.

They have wonderful fans(duh!). As Frank once said,
"I can't imagine any other bands having better kids than ours, and if they do at least I know our kids can beat up their kids." And he was right. We are all an Army and we're in it together.

We have made more friends through MCR than we would have without them. We have met other people like us at concerts, signings, and even just at the mall. You can go almost anywhere, walk up to someone, and start a conversation about My Chemical Romance. That is simply amazing.

They don't care what other people say/think about them. They are who they are and there's no changing that!

They push their own barriers to the limits. They play shows when they're sick or injured, they push on when they feel like letting go, and they live when nothing seems to have meaning. If they can do that, then we can too.

My Chem has helped many fans cope with their fears. If we are afraid we can just pop our MCR CD in and let the music sink in.

They are making a difference in the world one town at a time. Everywhere they go it seems as if they are bringing back the happiness to a dull and dim place.

They give us something to look forward to and to be excited about. When we are bored we can think, "I heard MCR is releasing a single soon." or "I can't wait to get a hold of that magazine with My Chem in it!". And when we are excited we are happy.



Why We Love Gerard.

We Love Gee because he's a wonderful singer and he cares about his fans. He's not one of those fake guys who edit their voice on the CD and suck live, and he is a sweetie to his fans.. he doesn't blow them off!

If someone is about to get crushed, he stops the concert to make sure they're okay! True story! Now that's dedication!

We aren't obsessed about looks, but we have to say it! Gerard Way is a cutie Very Happy. We love his hair, no matter what color it is, and he is just an all around gorgeous guy Very Happy

He stands up for what he believes in, not what all the other people want. He followed his dreams at one of the worst times in his life, and look where he is now! Very Happy

He has saved thousands of peoples' lives. The things he's said on stage, and the lyrics he has sang has pretty much played a major part in our lives. We can look at Gerard and relate to him on a deep level... a life changing level.

Gerard was an outcast in his high school years and he's showed us that it's okay! We know that no matter how popular someone is, it's who that person is on the inside that really counts!

He has pulled through many deep depressions and he didn't commit suicide! He probably has no idea how much that helped us. He showed us something that no one else could... Life is worth living, not pissing away on suicide.

He is an amazing artist and inspires others to work on their art. In the Life on the Murder Scene video it is really sweet how he is drawing pictures for contest winners and fans Very Happy .

He loves Starbucks. I mean seriously STARBUCKS! You know he has good taste if he drinks Starbucks! Razz

He beat his drug/alcohol addiction! When he got sober for fans it was like a new holiday!

We love him because he gave up his comic book career to go after this! That's mad dedication people.. giving up on a passion to pursue something that could've completely backfired.

He played in Peter Pan, a classic Very Happy, and it happens to be a very popular play/movie. They made it good but Gerard made it famous Razz

We can look into his eyes and for once feel okay. I mean, there isn't a single fan out there who can look in his eyes and not feel a connection!

He breaks the sexuality barriers. He's not afraid to make out with a guy, or touch himself in public. He makes even the most awkward situations... not awkward!

He says some of the most meaningful things that could ever be said. He makes everyone, no matter what size, sex, or race, feel beautiful and loved.

He is really fun and knows how to have a good time without alcohol or drugs. You can just tell by his stage presence and the things we see and read.

He's showed us how true friends can still act mature even after they're friends no more.

He appreciates everyone for who they are, not how skinny they are or how big their boobs are. He isn't one of those guys who rejects someone because they aren't perfect/flawless.

He puts up with stereotypes, rumors, and slandering all the time, and he still manages to stay strong... as if it doesn't bother him. He's shown us that no matter what people say, we shouldn't stop being what we are, and doing what we're doing.

He's not afraid to get on stage and start singing silly songs like the "everybody tie your shoe song" or to say some of the craziest things like "This crowd really turns me on." We don't really care how silly it is, we love it because it's Gerard doing it!

Why we love Frank Iero:

We love Frank because he has a smile that will melt anyone's heart. It's so inviting and mischevious at the same time. And his laugh will light up a room.

He has a wonderful sense of humor and knows how to make us laugh. We promise we only practice his tissue "magic trick" when the teachers aren't looking Razz (LOTMS DVD)

He has so much energy when he performs, that if you turned it into electricity it would light the whole world. He plays with everything he's got regardless of any injuries he may have.

He is so deticated to his fans and MCR that he dropped out of college to go on tour. Most people would say that is crazy, but MCR fans say it's amazing. We also think it's great that he thinks he should go back to college someday, proving that he has good common sense too.

Frank knows how to tease the crowd on stage and make them more energetic. Whether it's intentional or not, he does a good job of it. Razz

He's a cutie! Again, looks aren't everything, but you can't deny that you find him attractive. Razz

Frank is hardcore. It takes a guy to shove someone into a locker, but it takes a hardcore guy to go into a locker willingly....even if it is his job. Very Happy

He is a very talented guitarist that obviously knows what he's doing. He doesn't just "wing it" and hope it turns out okay.

We can easily relate to him and his childhood, things such as "sometimes we couldn't even afford milk." Just a lot of things he's said about his past makes more sense to us than people realize. It helps us feel like we're not alone.

He is honest in a way most people wouldn't be. It's kind of jokingly, but yet it's still true. Like when he said "I would date Gerard". We're pretty sure that if he wasn't already happily married (congrats. Frankie) he probably would date Gee-rad. Very Happy

Frank is the kind of person everyone wishes they could have as an older brother. He is caring but yet laid back and would know how to have a good time.

We think that no matter how burnt Frank's "cajun" food is, we'd still eat it. :]

Reasons to love Bob:
-He has such amazing dedication to his art and his fans (he almost died for it!) and does not want to simply sit in the back; he always wants to be involved.
-His eyes almost sparkle a lightning-blue color when you catch him talking about doing the thing he loves, and it's captivating.

Reasons to love Mikey:
-He rose from the depths of depression into a happily married man who is not afraid to show excitement or happiness anymore. He's no longer just 'Gerard's brother,' he made a name for himself as a person that conquered the odds.
-He's not ashamed to showcase his quirkiness, whether it be with deadpan jokes, or self-named clothing, or taking over radio shows to talk about the Ultimate Warrior.

Reasons to love Ray Toro:
-His dedication is obvious to anyone who just watches him play, and it's no wonder he is one of the greatest guitarists ever.
-He's a real sweet guy, despite his 'butch' appearance, and doesn't mind (if he does, he doesn't let it show) fans wanting another hug or a signature in an odd place.
-He's one of the best-kept secrets in New Jersey hispanic 'hunk-ology" and doesn't exploit his looks, he's actually really humble and shy.


i think you guys were able to cover most of Frank and Gerard Tehe

-is one of the people who made geek chic hot
-makes overuse of gel and hair product look sexy rahter than icky
-'spiritual advisor of the band'. need i say more?
-has the quintessential broody bassist look down pat when playing onstage. his still presence is a great contrast to Gerard's and Frank's hyperness.
