My Chemical Freak: My Chemical Romance All The Time

“In my exclusive interview with My Chemical Romance’s lead guitarist Ray Toro, he talks about how much social media has changed since the release of their 2006 album The Black Parade, setlists for The World Contamination Tour, the importance of making a solid album without throwaway songs, his opinion on MCR vocalist Gerard Way’s songwriting, and much more.”

If you missed the episode of Glee where Sue claims to have had an affair with the drummer from My Chemical Romance, you can read a little synopsis of the episode HERE.

And on a personal note, I saw the episode in question and lost it completely when she said she had an affair with the drummer back in the day.

When Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance joined Duran Duran onstage for Planet Earth, one couldn’t help wonder if it was an attempt to win over the kids.

Note:  This is not to start a riot on this board.  I think we all had our say last time about this boycott.  Some people understood some people got pissed.  Either way it goes this is simply an update on the situation and since My Chemical Romance was mentioned again, I am posting it here.  Thanks for your understanding

“My Chemical Romance also tried to back out of the boycott but quickly caved to pressure and canceled their Tempe date claiming it was an “oversight.” The entire mascara-covered debacle should shame the band and their management.”

“Right now they are just for us but I actually did have this idea when we were making the record. I said ‘I have this great idea that we should record two records and release one and put the other away in the vault so when the band breaks up so it would be the last MCR record ever.”

There is a bit of an article there too but it is in Dutch I believe.

Here is the article’s text roughly translated…

“Four years after the album The Black Parade My Chemical Romance is back and the fans do not seem to have forgotten them. This week they won in England a few, chosen by the public, NME awards. The popularity in the Netherlands is also plentiful as the 013 was packed with fans for hours in long queues waiting for the doors. The singer, Gerard Way, has a few months ago announced that they may be the last album of My Chemical Romance have made. Unlike a few months ago in the Milky Way, the public can now wholeheartedly sing along with the new songs. The band itself seems to conserve energy and is really good go at the end. “
