SOME HISTORY OF MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE My Chemical Romance started in 2001, formed by the lead singer, Gerard Arthur Way after the attacks of September 11. Theese attacks motivated Way to start a band after being a witness of theese attacks, along with the bands drummer, Matt Pellisier, born in Summit, New Jersey, with Mikey Way, (the bassist) also Gerard´s brother, both born in Newark, New Jersey. (THEY´RE BROTHERS, NOT COUSINS!!!). There are five band members in MCR. The band members are: Gerard and Mikey Way, Ray Toro (guitarist/backup vocals, born in Kearny, New Jersey), Frank Iero(guital/bass/backup vocals, born in Belleville, New Jersey), Matt Pellisier(drummer, born in Summit, New Jersey). Later on, Pellisier was replaced by Bob Bryar(drummer, sound engineering). Matt Pellisier was drummer from 2001-04, and Bob Bryar was drummer from 2004-14. On July 23, 2002, the band released their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. This album was a concept album, which leads onto their second studio album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. The cool thing is, Theese two albums are related because of the American criminal couple, Bonnie and Clyde, which both get shot in the dessert later on, because the police caught them driving a Ford Deluxe somewhere in Sailes, Louisiana, near Texas. They were caught robbing banks and killing people,and when caught, and were shot to death. In Three Cheers For Sweet Renvenge, the whold idea of the album was explained by Gerard Way which also created the artwork of the actual album, saying that the album is about a man who gets caought up in some crazy deal with the devil, that in exchange for the sould of a thousand evil men, he will be able to be with his wife again, since she is still alive. He gines the man a gun. The man dies later on, not completing the task given by the devil or reuniting with his wife.This explains the man and the woman on the album cover(I'm pretty sure.) The album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love has some different genres like screamo, punk-rock, and more. There are eleven songs on this album: ¨Romance¨ ¨Honey, This Mirror Isn´t Big Enough For The Two Of Us¨ ¨Vampires Will Never Hurt You¨ ¨Drowning lessons¨ ¨Our Lady Of Sorrows¨ ¨headfirst For Halos¨ ¨Skylines and Turnstiles¨ ¨Early Sunsets Over Monroeville¨ ¨This Is The Best Day Ever¨ ¨Cubicles¨ ¨Demolition Lovers¨ Their second album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was released on June 8, 2004. This album also does connects to I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love because Gerard Way explains that the whole concept of the album is about- "the story of a man and a woman who are separated by death in a gunfight and he goes to hell only to realize by the devil telling him that she's still alive. The devil says he can be with her again if he brings the devil the souls of a thousand evil men and the man agrees to do it, and so the devil hands him a gun. That was the idea behind the concept, the record ended up being much more about loss and real life than anything, so I would say it's a good split." I am pretty sure that this explains the man and the woman in the album cover of Three Cheers For Sweet revenge. I read in an article once, explaining that Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge is about a couple that is stuck in a town full of vampires. Then when the woman gets bitten, the man has to stab the woman with a stake in her heart, (since she’s a vampire and gets bit), and then the man kills himself, feeling guilt and shame. I’m not actually sure which one it’s really about, but they both sound really amazing. This album sold 1,000,000 copies in the U.s, and is my personal favorite album. One of the most popular songs is “Helena”, the first song in the track. Originally, “Helena” is about Mikey and Gerard Way’s grandmother, Elena Lee Rush, but the video has a different story
