Re: my chemical romance

my chemical romance are amazing...and they don't have a profile! That's shocking!

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

My Chemical Romance is the best band ever made I love it!


Personally

I'm not keen on MCR. I thought the earlier stuff was just plain awful.

BUT some of the stuff on the black parade isn't bad, and some of it is actually quite good. They sound like they know what to do, but they are just trying too hard, with horribly overworked endings and such. "Mama" was a brilliant song, but then it got to the ending... and I died.


I thought

songs from their earlier albums sounded terrible. But some songs on the Black Prade are actually quite good (example: Dead!). However, it's still far away from one of the best albums of 2006.


on tour!

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE SETS OUT FOR SECOND LEG OF 2007 U.S. HEADLINING TOUR

Burbank, CA — Reprise Records' My Chemical Romance will launch the second leg of their extensive tour in support of their Number One Rock album, the RIAA gold-certified, The Black Parade. The second round of the U.S. arena tour, produced by Art Show - a national touring division of Goldenvoice - will kick off in Houston, TX at the Reliant Arena. Tickets went on sale Saturday, February 10, 2007 via Ticketmaster.

The Black Parade, an epic theatrical concept album about mortality, has been named “Album Of The Year” by Blender Magazine, stating “My Chemical Romance transcended the cliché…to craft a grandiose epic that just might make them the biggest band in the world." Rolling Stone says "The Black Parade is the best mid-Seventies record of 2006, a rabid, ingenious paraphrasing of echoes and kitsch from rock's golden age of bombast."

The week after its release, The Black Parade claimed the Number One spot on SoundScan's Rock, Alternative, Top Albums Retailers, Indy/Small Chain, Internet, and Digital Album Charts. It also shot to Number 2 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart, selling more than 240,000 copies its first week of release. The first single, "Welcome To The Black Parade," has enjoyed eight weeks at the top of the Alternative / Modern Rock Radio Charts in the U.S. and the singles chart for two consecutive weeks in the UK.


Can't believe it!

You didn't know about this band? I thought they were probably the biggest band at the moment. Everyone is talking about them.

Not one member of that band (bar the drummer) can stay on point during a gig.
