A (in my opinion) very talented group of guys who despise the word 'emo'. The amazing band consists of Ray Toro - lead guitar, Frank Iero - rhythm guitar, Mikey Way - bass, Bob Bryar - drums, & the wonderful Gerard Way - vocals.
I am aware that a lot of you who read this will be like 'oh its an emo kid' or 'they're so emo' BUT. They're not emo, if you actually listen to the lyrics, they are an ANTI suicide band. For example, the song Famous Last Words states: "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this word alone." & So on & so forth.
My Chemical Romance has 3 studio albums - I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love; Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge; & The Black Parade. 2 Live CD/DVDS - Life On The Murder Scene & The Black Parade Is Dead!
Their most popular songs are Helena, I'm Not Okay (I Promise), Welcome to the Black Parade, Teenagers, & Famous Last Words.
I personally did not hear all of their songs on the radio, I found them, so there may have been more mainstream songs, I don't know.
MCR (as they are often abbreviated) formed in the time of 9/11. Gerard was on his way to work in NY & saw the bodies falling/jumping out of the building. At that point he though what am I doing with my life?
He decided to call up some old friends & formed the band. The original drummer, Matt Pelissier, was in the band when it formed, obviously. He later was fired because of his poor performance & lack of devotion to the band.
As for where the name came from, Mikey & Gerard were working at Barnes & Noble. Mikey saw the words 5 Tales of Chemical Romance on the back or inside of a book (whose author I forget). When he joined the band, he thought he should add My to it to give it a twist. From then on, they were known as MCR, My Chem, & My Chemical Romance of course.
Future plans - 2009: They recently filmed a music video for their cover of Bob Dylan's 'Desolation Row'. MCR recorded this song for the movie 'The Watchmen', which will be in theaters in March. My Chem is also set to record an album sometime this year, claimed to be 'early 2009'.
In conclusion, a great band... in my opinion.

Get the Hopeless romantic mug.Related Words
A small town located in North Carolina located right on the NC/VA state line. There's nothing there except for the ghost of a mall (the "Becker Village") and Lake Gaston. There is a Wal-Mart there as well but no Target. But hey, at least it's close to Richmond.
I was in my house in Richmond, VA, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I get the controllable urge to drive an hour south to the NC state line. I stumble upon this place known as "Roanoke Rapids, NC". Almost instantly I'm surrounded by brainless southern rednecks. lol that's NC for you -_-

Get the Roanoke Rapids, NC mug.A term first brought to life by Dashboard Confessional in their album "Swiss Army Romance." Combining the words swiss and army, this term refers to a relationship in which one struggles to be themselves and find their true identity. The other person in the relationship provides the "swiss army," a peaceful force fighting for the greater good of the relationship, and most of all, trying to help the other person find themselves.
You are lucky if you find yourself in a swiss army romance; someone cares enough about you to help you out.
