“The relationship between My Chemical Romance and Michael Pedicone is over. He was caught red handed stealing from the band and confessed to police after our show last night in Auburn, Washington.”
I will say, being in Arizona (where Pedicone is from) and a huge part of the music scene, there have been more times than once I have heard from people in circles close to Pedicone that he had hit some very hard times financially recently, and that playing shows with MCR was helping that immensely, which would explain why he took advantage of the band. His response to the situation, via twitter “What happened is more complicated than it sounds but I did make a mistake. It was never my intention to hurt this band or all of you.” followed by “It was an error in judgement based on a whole other situation that’s way deeper but this does not define me.” seems to hint towards this as well. It is purely hearsay and speculation, and I am in no way making excuses for his actions, but simply saying no one knows what real reasons he had and it was NOT okay, but try to take the road the band is and just move forward. “We are heartbroken and sick to our stomachs over this entire situation. The band has no intention of pressing charges or taking this matter any further than we have to. We just want him out of our lives.” -Frankie.
“A fixture of the summer since the 1970s, Reading festival is one of the heavyweights of the UK festival scene. With a sister site now also in Leeds the weekend’s line-up featured headline acts My Chemical Romance, The Strokes, Pulp and Muse.”
“My Chemical Romance fear an upcoming festival appearance will be the most ‘jarring’ of their career.
The American band are due to headline at the Reading and Leeds music festival in the UK this weekend. Although they are looking forward to the performance, they don’t have good memories of the event.”
“Guitarist May played Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’ and MCR’s ’Welcome To The Black Parade’ at the headline show, with Way explaining that they first met after he emailed May out of the blue.”
This is like a DREAM come true for me personally. My two favorite bands in the whole world EVER combined. This is something I can mark off my Bucket List!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Blink-182 recruited My Chemical Romance to join them on the Honda Civic Tour this summer and fall. Blink are playing songs from their September 27 release, Neighborhoods, their first studio album in eight years, and guitarist-vocalist Tom DeLonge tells SPIN that he’s always wanted to go out on the road with the New Jersey rockers.
Hours before the recent opening show in Holmdel, NJ (read our review), DeLonge and MCR bassist Mikey Way sat down with SPIN to chat about the tour, the musical influence of favorite bands Weezer and Rancid, and previous tourmates Green Day’s penchant for pranks.
Naturally, there were plenty of jokes. At one point during the interview, DeLonge dug into his pocket, pulled out a guitar pick and handed it to Way, who read aloud the inscription on the back: “I want you inside me.”
“Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan spent an agonising 10 hours trying to avoid fellow rockers My Chemical Romance on a plane – after insulting the band early in his career.”
