The Last Black Parade Show

On the concert in Mexico city(October 7) Gerard said that the concert was the last show they were going to play as The Black Parade. He also said that for this reason the concert in Mexico City was filmed, and at the entrance of the venue there were some warnings that said the show was going to be filmed for a future release. I think this should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.179.254.94 (talk) 06:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

the current image Mcratmarysville.JPG i think needs to be changed, the lights in the image makes it a bit hard to see mcr at first Pro66 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 19:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Someone changed it so it says "My Chemical Romance, often shortened to fucking wankers" But knowing wikipedia it'll probably be fixed by the time I finish typing this ;)

Mikey

Didn't he go on hiatus during recording of the Black Parade? Shouldn't that also be included? icelandic hurricane #12 (talk) 21:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS A DICK LICK BAND —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.100.89.26 (talk) 21:10, 10 January 2008 (UTC)



I do believe it is mentioned in the Mikey Way article but I do not believe it was in here. I think perhaps this should be mentioned in here as well as in The Black Parade article as well as any other complications that happened in the recording of the album. I had removed the year from after Mikey's name in the Band members section because I felt the "on hiatus" message took care of it. He never truly left the band and Gerard stated on the main website that he is only on a break which never meant he left. I was just wondering other's peoples thoughts about the inclusion of the year 2007 after his name even though he is only on a break.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 21:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Alternative WikiProject COTW suggestions

Here's some things that are needed:

  • Expand the lead section of the article per WP:LEAD
  • Clean up the web citations, possibly using the Cite Web template
  • Upload a few representative soundclips that adhere to fair use guidelines
  • Make sure the entire article is written in American English. I saw a few instances of British english being used.
  • Try to avoid recentism

Makes sure to look at other high-quality band articles to see what is expected of a GA or FA level article. Model band articles are The KLF, Pixies, The Smashing Pumpkins, Slayer, Megadeth, and Genesis (band). If anyone has any question, please post them here and we'll try our best to help out.

Marilyn Manson attacks MCR

Should this be included in the page? Geminivenom 03:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

No....way.... If you add why he is attacking MCR I think you should add it.TaylorLTD 02:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

What? :) Geminivenom 03:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I just read that article. I dont see how it's relevent. Lots of people don't like MCR; I don't see any need to list all of them. Crossbow1 04:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)\

Thanks then, nice try for me. :) Geminivenom 10:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't agree with Marilyn Manson more. He hit the nail right on the head.68.158.179.112 16:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Add it to the criticism section. Infact I'll do it for you. The fact that the song "Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery" pertains to this attack on MCR; a song on a Billboard top 10 album, makes it notable as would say mention of a fued between 50 Cent and The Game in their articles. - The Daddy 05:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

MCR responds to Manson

I know that when I posted the Manson-attacks-MCR thing, it was not approved by y'all. :) Now that MCR responded, maybe it'll change.

Link

Theres a bit in Kerrang this week with Frank Iero answering back to Manson saying that MCR were copycats becasue they wore makeup. Iero says he's heard of Alice Cooper, but anyway, I think that's more descriptive than that article. Alienpmk 07:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

close mcr

i think the mcr page should be closed...its edited way to often with wrong information and rude hate jokes on mcr...

Hmm, if I apply your logic to every other significant article in Wikipedia, there would be better off no Wikipedia. This is why we have Wikipedia, to combine everyone's knowledge to make the best and most accurate encyclopedia in the world, no matter what it takes, so if it means countless amounts of vandalism, so be it. --Iluvmesodou 10:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

My Cradle of Guns n' Roses

In their song Welcome to the black parade the beginning it star with piano, playing th exact same notes of the song of Cradle of Filth, Suicide and other Comforts. Their bride and last chorus is very alike as the last part of November's Rain from Guns n' Roses, but not as alike as with Cradle of Filth's piano part

If it's unsourced we can't add it. Personally, I've noticed distinct similarites between "The End." and "Five Years" by David Bowie, from the landmark album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, but I haven't got a source for it. --Jamdav86 20:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I've seen many similarities between the entire album and Ziggy, but I don't know whether similarities would be stupid unless spoken about by the band itself. For isntance, there is an interview that says they are aware "Teenagers" sounds quite like T Rex, but that they only found out about this after writing the song.There are other examples, for isntance del Amritri, and I think the list would be eventually endless. Alienpmk 08:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

just the first three notes, and its played slower, things like that happen all the time in muse, i dont think its copyright or anything like that it happens with all music. as for the david bowies thing, ive noticed that too. they play that song at shows before they start, know why? cuz its a huge influence, like queen and the beatles, u can hear MCR's influences in there music i think its very cool.

The opening piano is actually an intepretation of Pachelbel's Canon. It has been used by numerous artists in numerous songs and is in no way a unique feature to any band or song in particular. In fact the entire "Welcome to the Black Parade" song is based upon Pachelbel's Canon.
Referenced here as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_songs_based_on_classical_music scroll to the bottom. --204.16.145.253 20:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

It, may be, influenced by Pachelbel's canon, but they're DIFFERENT from it

Unblock

I think this page should be allowed to be edited!


Why? so you can say how it's gay and emo? Because it was locked because people were doing that. No offence. Zazaban 09:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

(from someone else...) I believe we should leave it to some form of authority on the staff to fix current errors. For one, MCR (see the twelfth "source" at the bottom) did NOT win worst band or villan of the year, that was George Bush, and Panic! at the disco. Would the WikiTeam please check that?

Actually, the source does not provide the information about worst band or villain of the year, that is because the information was found in an issue of kerrang! magazine. The source actually backs up the NME awards and the awards My Chemical Romance won. Blkeddie! 08:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I have something to edit. Like that Umbrella Academy 3 comes out on Nov. 21. But I can't because it's blocked. Zazaban does have a point, though.

the only thing i want to edit is adding to the genre. i think my chemical romance is also definatly blues rock; if u look at the scales they use its all blues scale. and u can definatly hear the similarities w/ them and bands like cream and the white stripes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.177.208 (talk) 01:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Genre

Some time ago I've added "Disputed subgenres" to the infobox. It got deleted by WesleyDodds. All album articles contain "Disputed subgenres" as genre so it would be consistent to put in this article as well. I think it would clarify that this band is not merely alternative rock and that they are hard to categorize. This way people might be less eager to change the genre (resulting in less genre editing/reverting). If it's not encyclopedic enough to be in the MCR article then it shouldn't be stated as genre in the album articles either. Any opinions? (In the archives there are some discussions resulting in a consensus on this... what happened with that?) Emmaneul (Talk) 22:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

If the word "disputed" is the problem we could put "Various others" like in the Queen (band) article infobox. Emmaneul (Talk) 22:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Since they call themselves "pop-punk" I think that's what they should be called (regardless of the fact that for some of us, that's an oxymoron). Crossbow1 05:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Are they also "emo"? please if you're gonna change the genre put it here, because i'll mistake it for vadalism :] Blkeddie! 06:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It's in Disputed subgenres. I think it's a good thing the infobox is not genre laden and that a fairly generic genre is used (that's how the musical artist infobox should be used like according to Template:Infobox_musical_artist) But my point is: Shouldn't there be a reference to the "Disputed subgenres" part of the article in the infobox? I'll put it up there... Emmaneul (Talk) 07:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


They got the pop punk sound so I'm gonna add pop punk to their current genre. - Arranox

Sorry, but just because they have the "pop punk sound" doesnt mean that is what they are. Unless you have a citation [and your opinion is not a citation] dont add it. --MCRluvr 2:46, 6 July 2007
Hmm, well what makes any persons opinions or ideas on a bands or singers genre any different from one from a source. Just because the source defines their genre as "Alternative Rock" etc. doesnt mean they are, because the source probably believes thats what MCR "sounds" like. Blkeddie! 12:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Not if it is coming from the band, in which they have not commented on it. So technically there shouldnt be and sub-genre's on the page. --MCRluvr 03:37, 7 July 2007

why we dont just leave it as rock?200.116.30.209 00:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, judging by some comments left throughout the talk pages and archives, we need a source that we can trust, but who's to say which websites we can trust, the band who define their music as "Rock" or "Alternative" is perfectly fine. But seriously, everyone's over dispute about MCR's genre, the links that each and every other person source us with basically say the same thing, alternative, emo, rock, pop-punk etc. So why don't you people understand that until we some how all agree on it, that the genre will probably never be sorted out. What are we going to do with the genre? Which website can we trust? Blkeddie! 01:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

MCR WORKS ON NEW ALBUM

Link

Shocked - me. :) Include this to the page ? Geminivenom 11:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest using this as link instead of the one you had, it wasn't working. But, yea, why not? Just remember to reference it with that link. BsroiaadnTalk 13:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow, it's soon, but I'm enjoying the good news, I just hope theres another source to really, truly confirm it. They're rushing, it's too fast, i hope it will get released mid next year, after the Black Parade hype, it would be two years in between every album, and i reckon that's a good thing. I've been reading those comments underneath, and I have to say it's ... very ... negative? A lot of people love MCR, and a lot of people hate MCR, but why do people have to criticize them, if you think their music is shit, woop-de-doo, you along with about another couple billion people.
And just so you know, about another billion believe they make good music, but you wont see many of em' commenting on articles and new information that involves them. Don't get me wrong, you will see those people, but not as many as the people who criticize them. Their album was artistic, but Gerard does go a bit far, I forgot what he said, but it was something along the lines of "Artistically Ambitious"? There's no need for criticism, if you don't like them, shut up and don't vandalise... unless of course you're someone important. I'm not saying you're not important, I mean important enough to be quoted from xD. Blkeddie! 14:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

They've writen new music but don't plan on getting into the studio until mid-2008. Although, I also read somewhere that the new album will be out early-2008 which is ridculous after they said they'd take a break. They deserve it i.e. marriages, touring for a long time. Sorry I have no sources, but that's what I know. laalaaLAA 07:30, 20 October 2007

MCR WORKS ON NEW ALBUM NOT FOR A WHILE

Link 

Recently, both at the san diego comic con 2007 and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7gZ4IB7wcU&mode=related&search=

Gerard way says that they'd like to have a nice long break between the black parade until they can find something new to send out as a message... they may want to modify the "June 2007-now" section... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.70.62 (talk) 18:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Though that may be true; they may be taking a break, sources indicate that they're writing a new album. This is of note. That doesn't say how long it is until they get into the studio or release the album. As a musician, or any celebrity, your perception of a "break" can mean anything from 2 weeks off. I heard about a pop-star recently who decided to just travle, have fun and relax for 6 months after touring heavily and before stepping into the studio for her (or maybe his) next studio album, and some people literally thought he/she had died, because of no exposure. Life's different at the top, you know? lincalinca 03:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

My Chemical Romance's AKAs?

"My Chemical Romance (also known as My Chem, MCR and The Black Parade)"

My Chemical Romance isn't also known as 'The Black Parade'. I think some people got this confused when they saw the tour for MCR. If someone could change this, I think they should state that 'The Black Parade' was only used for the tour as MCR's alter-ego while they sang the whole album. They would then change everything (banners, ect.) to MCR and perform other songs from Bullets and Three Cheers. If someone could either show me proof that I'm wrong, or fix this for me, that'd be great. Thanks, Wiki! WolF Graffiti 02:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Rumor. I would take it on a grail of salt until it is confirmed by the band. And BTW please do not use this is a forum. Keeps posts about the article.--MCRluvr 2:24. 6 July 2007 (UTC)
sorry about that, MCRluvr. that ones not me. apparently someone's new to Wiki. no new topic, no signature.

68.55.235.179 05:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Its okay, some people just take things that they read on the internet very seriously. MCRluvr 16:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I took the others out and just left MCR, since TBP is the album name, not the band and MCRmy is their fanclub. lincalinca 03:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Action Figures

Please excuse my horrible wiki-editing for this topic, but in the "mainstream breakthough" section it would be nice if someone would add as a sidenote that the band had action figures released in December 2005 by SEG Toys. I'm horrible with sourcing so the link is: www(dot)mtv(dot)com/news/articles/1513784/20051115/my_chemical_romance.jhtml

Is it necessary for someone to say "www(dot)something(dot)net"? No offense. --Iluvmesodou 10:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Disenchanted final single?

Ill try to find the websites again but ive seen alot of pages say that Disenchanted was going to be the fourth and final single of TBP. I wish they would make a video for Dead!, but hopefully these pages are not true.

They have already had four singles. Welcome To The bLack Parade, Famous Last Words, I Don't Love You, and Teenagers. Even though they all weren't released world-wide. Gerard said they have made fours inglre. Who knows if there will be another, and if so, what it will be.--MCRluvr 03:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Biased Article

I dislike emo as a whole, but I respect my chemical romance as a band and as song writers. However, I feel the article is biased towards my chemical romance, as so much is about how amazing they are, more should be about negative/neutral views. Emoisverybad 18:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I assume your view of neutral is calling them emo? Zazaban 18:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not suggesting that they are called emo, I am simply suggesting that more neutral content is added, as this article is biased. Emoisverybad 18:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

How is this article biased? Zazaban 18:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Possibly due to criticism and the term "emo" used against MCR? Blkeddie! 18:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

No, this guy claims it's too "positive" about MCR. Zazaban 19:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is about the band's history, where the reviews for the albums are in their respective articles. There is criticism provided as well for My Chemical Romance. If you could provide examples as to where you feel the article is biased towards My Chemical Romance then perhaps it can be looked at and changed if it is certainly biased towards the band.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 00:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

And by the way, MCR is not emo, it's fans may be, but not MCR itself. Zazaban 00:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Amen. Geminivenom 03:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Does it matter? However, this line of conversation is becoming inappropriate. --Jamdav86 19:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed how they are Emo

People face it, the article says they are. and the majority of the people out there say they are. Okay? The lead singer of Motorhead calls his music "rock n roll" does that mean it's not Metal? Zephead999 05:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

A majority opinion does not define a musical style. Most people think Marilyn Manson is goth, yet he's not. MCR is not emo. Zazaban 07:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry buddy but their past musical styles are heavily identical to emo music. So yes, one of their genres are emo. Even if they say they aren't NOW, they once were. or there might even be traces of emo in their music. SO look, untill MotorHead's genre gets changes to simply rock n roll then they are emo.

How are they similar to emo. I was always under the impression emo was about how awful everyday life is. MCR focuses on Concept albums that may be purceived to be emo, but really tell a story. It's more geek than emo. Zazaban 21:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Right..yeah sure now it's a concept album. But they WERE emo. Look buddy I've listened to MCR back in 2002. Don't try with me buddy, now get out of here. Zephead999 00:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Please don't get nasty. Wikipedia doesn't have a place for nasty. Yes, they are concept albums. What's more is what you're basing this on OR alone. Wait for concensus before changing this PLEASE. Zazaban 01:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Right, so what we do is we put their past genres into their lsit of genres buddy, now excuse me, i have an edit to make. Zephead999 07:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, this isn't your website. This is community website, where you're supposed to corroperate with other people, something you are currently refusing to do. Please at the very least SOURCE your edit, or they will continue to be reverted. Zazaban 15:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but if the alternative rock genre is unsourced, then the emo genre will be unsourced as well; it's only fair. Zephead999 17:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Then let's keep it on Disputed Subgenres. The subgeneres are quite clearly disputed. You can't just come in here and change it to what you want. Emo needs to be sourced because it is in dispute, Alternative rock is not. Zazaban 18:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Now you've broken the 3 revert rule. You can only make 3 reverts on one article per day. Zazaban 18:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Zazaban just stop talking before you make yourself sound even more like an idiot than you already are. Zephead999 18:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Please be civil. I am not making myself sound like an idiot. you're being impossible to reason with. And you're completly ignoring the 3RR. Zazaban 18:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

NO you are refusing the fact that there are many traces of Emo in MCR's music. Then after I said that you wanted a source for that, since you are so blind u won't accept that face. Well again buddy unless you source how MCR are alternative rock than MCR's emo genre will remain unsourced. Zephead999 19:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Like I said, Alternative rock is not disputed while Emo is. Disputed sungenres is far more NPOV than Emo. Zazaban 19:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Please keep in mind the way the infobox is presented was decided here through community consensus (please see the rest of Archive 2 for the full arguement). Alternative rock was agreed upon as being the genre in the infobox along with a link to the "Disputed subgenres" which are listed further on into the article. While there are sources for My Chemical Romance being alternative rock and emo, the community decided to list the emo subgenre further into the article with the rest of My Chemical Romance's subgenres. All of My Chemical Romance's subgenres should have a reliable source and if not you can perhaps say which ones aren't and if a reliable source cannot be found then it should be deleted. Also, as I said there are sources for both alternative rock and emo as My Chemical Romance's genre and the bio at MTV.com lists them as alternative rock.  Orfen User Talk | Contribs 19:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

My Chemical Romance is NOT emo, who care's if motorhead say they're rock n' roll? at last both motorhead and my chemical romance and emery and avenged sevenfold, and sex pistols play subgeneres of rock n' roll. maybe people like you, Zephead999 sould litsen to real emo rather than AFI and MCR, when you just follow by the clothes and hairstyles you are completly wrong just litsen to the music and compare it to the real emo and write down the differences you notes, you'll find as much as when you compare death to black metal (yes, there are many diferecenes, they're not as alike as people want) My name is wah? my name is wah? my name is wah? my name is digidigi Sheishop!!!


this argument has been run to the death. its so cliched, theres no point in even brining it up anymore. check the archives when your going to post your opinion on if their emo or not, because someone probably already said it. the next time i see a 'their soo emo, cause i say so' post, im deleting, so dont bother even putting it up unless you have new info on why they are/arent.Dizzydark 03:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be pointed out that this user was a troll who has since been blocked. No need to reply. Zazaban 21:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

LOL, and isn't this article kind of not allowed? Has the jury in the case of Zazaban vs. Zephead999 reached a verdict? --Iluvmesodou 11:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What? Zazaban 06:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

This really should be solved so that EVERYONE agrees. Just because MCR says they aren't emo doesn't mean they're not. Many portray them as being an emo band. One thing that really confuses me, though, is that in the article it says the frontman stated that MCR is emo, but then later it says he stated that they were never emo and that emo is "a pile of shit". So for now emo should be listed as one of their genres along with one or two more subgenres to clarify what exactly they are, like metal or hardcore or something like that. Tim Y (talk) 18:05, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Everyone except you does agree. Just leave it be, articles are only supposed to have one genre in the first place. Zazaban 19:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

They slam power chords in 8th notes. They wear black clothes and mascara. Their singer has a whiney voice. They sing about pain. A lot. If that's not emo, what is?

That very well could be some fusion of Black Metal and Blues, judging from your description. Zazaban (talk) 07:05, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
You still didn't answer my question, though. If you're so sure that they're not emo, then you must have a really good idea of what is. So, what's a good example of emo?

Fine, not emo. But then its also worth mentioning that they sound nothing like The Wallflowers, or Live, or Pearl Jam. Alt. rock is a term for anything that's been realeased since 1990. It doesn't describe music style. They need something other than JUST alt. rock. If it's not emo, you decide what it would be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.171.99 (talk) 01:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
The infobox is supposed to show a general idea of the band's genre. It should not be specific according to Template:Infobox musical artist. Please don't bring up the genre disputes again. There has already been too much discussion and arguing over the genres. It should stay how it is now as that is what most people seem to agree on. Timmehcontribs 01:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

But, as the article states, they do not want to be called emo, they reject the genre. So why should we call them emo if they do not want to be? Riverpeopleinvasion (talk) 11:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, are we still not past this? Emo music is drab, slow acoustic guitar music where the guy is trying to find himself. Ironically, emo music and emo fashions are not actually synonymous with one another. They wear emo (or "scene") fashion, but that doesn't make them emo. Hell, Johnny Cash could be called emo on that premise (ignorning the fact that my sister calls him the first emo). If you listen to the music played by these guys, it's heavy alternative rock, with elements of cabaret rock, punk rock and grunge. What I find laughable is calling Franz Ferdinand alternative rock. They're New Wave alternative, a completely different genre altogether. Oh, and slamming power chords in 8ths doesn't quantify emo music, otherwise you could call Limp Bizkit emo, and I'm hoping we can agree that they're not. --lincalinca 11:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Emo is a too poorly defined genre to call a band unless they identify themselves as such. 24.46.98.142 (talk) 23:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Well said, however, I believe as a genre is, it can be defined very accurately and astutely, however what muddies and blurs the line is misconceptions of what the term actually means, leading to confusion and many people being unclear as to what is and what is not emo. --lincalinca 23:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Sicnce when was it not okay to state your OPINION in America? NEVER. Wikipedia should let us share our opinions because honestly in the long run...they won't matter.

Who keeps on making the "e" in "Emo" a lowercase letter?

Stop it, finish the 1st grade then come back to me. Zephead999 20:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Emo is not a proper noun so it doesn't need to be capitalized, just like you don't capitalize "soft rock" or "heavy metal." // DecaimientoPoético 20:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
No you do capatalize those since they are the name of something. 71.182.92.118 05:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
No you don't, for the reasons given above; names of music genres are not proper nouns. Bucketheader 16:37, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree. It is not a proper noun. It should be in lower case, "emo".

Basically, in Wikipedia the genres aren't capitalised. Outside, probably, but not on Wikipedia. If you want that policy changed then there are better forums than this one to discuss that - perhaps WT:MOS? --Jamdav86 08:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Who knew such trivial subjects can be discussed here? I don't know about everyone, but I like to capitalize every noun I write, regardless it being Proper or Common. LOL. I'm weird, and Bucketheader's generally correct. It's too late for me. --Iluvmesodou 11:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Where's the band logo?

Could someone change this:

Under 'criticism' a line reads 'Due to the increased amount of new fans, some of the old fanbase considers the band a "sellout" and the new MCR fans "poseurs".' - can someone change this to 'posers' (as i presume it is meant to say...?) sorry, i'd do it myself as i know it's only a little thing but can't due to protection of page. it's just been bugging me. Mz.Kiedis 19:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Done, I think...

Alienpmk 18:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Criticism?

I hate MCR, don't get me wrong, but it's just stupid to have a criticism section for a band.

I actually agree about this particular page, most of the "criticism" seems to be simply about certain people who don't care for the band, not actual criticism. Zazaban 19:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Actual criticism could be found on reviews - having skimmed the album reviews we have links to on the album pages. But the people who've voiced their opinions that got into the section ARE important people in the music industry. Keep for now (The Elfoid 01:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC))

Yet, it doesn't seem the be actual "criticisms," more like "people who don't care for this band." Zazaban 05:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

The third paragraph of that section, also the smallest, is about Manson...and that's the only one of the nature you described (The Elfoid 01:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC))

Ah, what I was referring to seems to have already been removed. Zazaban 02:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Guitar Hero II

The band already had one song in guitar hero (that song being "Dead!") and with the recently released pack they now have three others. They are as follows:

1. This is How I Disappear

2. Teenagers

3. Famous Last Words


None of that above stuff is mentioned at all on the main My Chemical Romance page. It really should be added, but the thing is locked right now...

Somone deleted basicly the whole article.

I check this site almost daily,awaiting some good new MCR news. but some idiot deleted the whole biography, and copy and paisted the opening paragraph for the band. hopefully somone has all the edits and references on file, if you need anyhelp id be glad to try to restore things back to normal. im an MCR freak, i know much more than i should about these guys. sorry for any inconvenience.SourDoughx 02:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Projekt Revolution 8/22

I had noticed that there whole set and back drop was different. They had a wolf theme possibly hinting at House Of Wolves as the next single? The stand that Bob plays drums on said "She Loves You" and im not 100% but i think Gerard had the word "SIDNAR" written on his neck. if theres anyone that can maybe clarify what any of this means the help would be nice.SourDoughx 20:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Fan Fiction? (71.145.164.23 03:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC))

What happened to the fan fiction section? While I realize that fan fiction is not fact, or rarely verifiable it has been an important part of MCR's past. What say the throng about the prospect of a fan fiction section for this article? (71.145.164.23 03:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC))

The Bands Name

The part about the bands name is wrong it wasn't taken from a line in trainspotting. It was taken from the title of a different book by the same author. The title of that book is Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance. It says this in the Life of the murder scene DVD Diary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20sv7 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Working on new album

Two little changes

I made two changes to the article: one, I changed the statement about Projekt Revolution dates being annuonced in May. Uh...the tour is now over, so this statement is long outdated. More importantly, I fixed the statement about a "recording hiatus". MCR did not announce a recording hiatus...they haven't recorded since last July when they were recording the Black Parade. They just said they weren't going to be working on a new album for a while. The statement and wording were just confusing. Also, the reasons given for not recording (Gerard's marriage and wanting to spend time with family) were not the correct reason - they want to focus on their current touring, and they want to take time to re-evaluate the band. The wording about "2009 being the earliest if they're lucky" is also bad...2009 isn't even that long, given the size and length of the current tour for The Black Parade. MJB12 19:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


Fake Band Members?

I came across two members of MCR who I dont think exsist. They are Nick Mackenzie and Jack Aylward. I googled them and didnt find any information on them on any other websites. It also says that Jack Aylward died in 1999 due to suicide. The band didnt form until 2001. Also it says that Jack Aylward was a member between 1987 to 2030. This cant be true seeming that we are living in 2007. Toby Keet 00:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Biography of a group?

Is there such a thing as a biography of a group? Biography of the members of a group, maybe, but the biography of a group sounds a bit awkward. Orane (talk) 03:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

biography of the members as a whole. yes, there is a biography of them as a band. (laalaaLAA) —Preceding unsigned comment added by LaalaaLAA (talk • contribs) 23:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Hairstyles?

I'd like to know WHY the band's hairstyles during the 1995 Warped Tour are noteworthy, if they're going to be considered so by Wikipedia. I mean, they're musicians, not fashion models, so if any sort of history of their hairstyles is included in Wikipedia, there should probably be a reason for that. I don't see any history of Poison's hairstyles (and they were known for being a hair band!) on Wikipedia, so why MCR's?

--Hemightbesoup 08:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

The band wasn't around in 1995... do you mean 2005? Anyway, it doesn't matter what's good for Poison; the context is MCR: if it is subject matter brought up by the group, a reporter or a common thread among fans, it may be noteworthy in the article. Poison were actually not as known for their hairstyles as MCR, as I understand it. The only bands I can think of who're "hair" bands, as you put it are A Flock of Seagulls and Split Enz, both of which have detailed rationales as to their hairstyles (and general fashion for the latter). If you're adamant about Poison's hairstyles not being on their page, maybe you oughtta be bold! We have the technology. --lincalinca 13:55, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

New Singles?

According to the article, there are to be two new Black Parade sigles. I have searched the web over and over, and I have found no information about any new singles. It also has no source, so I suggest it be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.71.228.135 (talk) 05:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Nope, there are references for these additions: the first of the singles is to be "Mama" (see it's article here) and the sixth is as-yet unannounced, but it's known that the last two are both to be directed by Gerard Way. Have a look at those articles and their applicable references (google brings up info about this if you search in almost anything related to mcr, single, black parade, fifth single, so I don't know how extensive your searching was). --lincalinca 05:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

The article also doesn't refrence a source, and I did a google for Black Parade Singles and Fifth Black Parade single and got only forums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.71.228.135 (talk) 05:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if you know how to check for references, but when you see that something has one of these: [1], it means that it's a reference. You click it, and it leads you to the reference at the end of the page. It's what's refered to as inline reference. The Mama page cites Billboard, Absolute Punk and several other sources that confirm the status. --lincalinca 05:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

No need to insult me, yes I know how to click refrences, but I don't trust absolute punk because forum members create the news not proffesiobals, and billboard said "Disenchanted" was supposed to be a single.

Billboard was purported to have announced that Disenchanted was set to be the next single. There was never anything on their site (in any official capacity; i.e. only in their forums) that the song was to be, but someone took a forum entry and ran with it. Mama, on the other hand, is actually noted as its own entry (three times, no less) in the discography section. I'm sorry and had to intention to insult or be condescending, but your comments seemed to ignore the references. Had you stated your lack of faith in the references, that would have come through to me more clearly. --lincalinca 06:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


I brought you my bullets chnaged to post-hardcore

As far as I know, there is little dispute over the genre of "I brought you my bullets, You brough me your love", which many agree is post-hardcore.There's no big dispute over this like there is with the last two albums. So I'm asking for permission to remove "Disputed-Subgenres" on the "Bullet's" article and replacing it with post-hardcore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.219.251.22 (talk) 23:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Evidence that MCR is punk rock?

[2] fast forward to 5:00~6:00. Somewhere in there, Gerard states that MCR is a punk rock band that "likes" heavy metal. --Nishad 22:58, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Punk Rock with Heavy Metal elements... Sounds like Grunge. Zazaban 02:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Or one a modern rendition of Hardcore. --Nishad 15:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
If MCR says they are punk rock, they are most likely not. The band's view of their own genre is not subjective and should not be expressed in the article. Tim Y (talk) 15:59, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
By that logic, Slayer = Death Metal. Slayer is obviously not death metal, but they have been portrayed as a death metal band in South Park and by some fans. They say they are Thrash Metal. Are they Thrash Metal? Yes. --Nishad 17:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Maybe they are death metal. Many people now think the genres posted on the band's MySpace page are the correct genres. Many people think My Chemical Romance is not emo just because the band says they're not. Like I said, the band's view of themselves is usually not the actual genre that they are because its not a subjective view. Tim Y (talk) 17:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
And we're not talking about whether Slayer is thrash or death metal. Look at MCR's influences. Most of them are not punk rock groups. MCR is mostly alt. rock with metal influences, NOT punk rock. Tim Y (talk) 17:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
That sounds very much like grunge. Anyone think we should put that there, or it is just silly? Zazaban 00:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

They have punk and metal influences. I'm not too sure if I would say they're punk, but Gerard said there's always gonna be an essence of punk and I feel that. And they can say what genre of music they are, it's their band. Even if we may think different. I'd say they're just alternative. laalaaLAA 7:48, Octover 20 —Preceding comment was added at 23:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree that they are alternative, but it seems that people just want to leave rock as their only genre. I think rock is way too broad of a genre to accurately describe a band's music. Does anyone agree?? Tim Y (talk) 23:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I do. Zazaban 00:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
If you call their music emo music, you don't know the genre then; that's all I can say. Their music is heavy rock with elements of punk rock in it (though since Matt Pelliser left and Bob Bryar joined, that seems to be dissipating, as punk is centralised around the drums). What a band calls themself is not always right, however it shouldn't be discounted from the encyclopedia page, as if they're wrong about their own kind of music, it implies either some sort of delusion of their own music, that others are miscategorising their music (don't refer to Robert Christgau for this, because he's almost always wrong at categorising the last 15 years worth of rock music). When it boils down to it, their music is heavy alternative rock, aka alternative metal. Noting "Alternative rock" as the group's musical style is not inaccurate for the article. --lincalinca 02:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't think they're emo, I simply think that Alt. rock is too vague. Zazaban 21:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Alt rock is a very broad term, but so is the group's musical breadth, meaning we either have all of the styles they've gone into, or we use one braoder term that encapsulates all of them. I think Alt rock (or heavy rock, or heavy alt rock) captures their music without having to tread into the variables. --lincalinca 01:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Omg, whoever even dared called MCR alternative metal, i am gonna effin kill you. MCR is not really metal in almost any way. sure, they threw in some iron maiden and possible slayer influence, but that doesn't make them metal. there's more to metal than heaviness people, all they threw in was some of metal's melodies and style of guitar riffs. they are not alternative metal. why? possibly due to the lack of powerchords for one. also, their music is too soft to be called alternative metal. i would know, since i've heard just about all their songs, and i gotta say...they're not hard rock in any way. emo, possibly, post-hardcore, definately, alt rock, no arguement, pop punk, yes, i'd have to say that MCR has strong pop punk elements. Itachi1452 01:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry that you disagree with the hypothesis, but you're incorrect to rule out that there is metal in their music. It's not very nice to say you're going to kill someone for stating their opinion, too. This is not a forum for discussion of what kind of music they play. The article states that they play heavy alternative rock and there's no greater distinction that should be made, otherwise we're getting too divisive and unnecessarily so. --lincalinca 02:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Can I at least change the sentence that states that they see themselves as simply "rock"? According to these interview, that sentence is a lie.--Nishad 02:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Sister to Sleep

I listened to all those interviews in the above youtube link, and it gave some info about "Sister to Sleep". MCR was asked to contribute a song for the Freddy vs Jason soundrack, so they wrote a song about sleep deprivation. But it didn't make the album because they didn't finish it in time. I think that's noteworthy to mention somewhere. icelandic hurricane #12(talk) 22:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

No Outcry

Someone please edit out the "This caused much outcry from critics and fans alike" statement. I have not seen any outcry from fans, only "thank you's". While saying that fans thanked MCR for it is not a good idea, there is no reliable source that would say it made fans angry.--70.107.180.30 00:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

From which section? It's a pretty long article. --lincalinca 02:13, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

From the "Criticism" section.--69.86.78.89 02:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I was happy about it. Now people can finally stop calling them Emo, which they are obviously not. --Nishad 11:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I've fact tagged it. It's at least worthy of the same levity all other statements. It's not as though it's a salacious or controvertial statement by keeping it there (hell, it's more controvertial keeping GW's statement about emos in there). --lincalinca 12:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.--70.23.195.160 14:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Bobs wrists

MCR has officially stated that Bob has problems with his wrists, I believe it is important enough to be on the My Chemical Romance page, but seeing as I'm lazy, I'm asking someone else to put it up [3] Blkeddie! 04:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Infobox Picture

Maybe I just haven't edited this article in a long time, so I have no idea what is happening, but I was incredibly suprised to the the picture in the infobox. Is there a reason the current (or even the one before that one) is being used? I mean, there are plenty of clearer images of the band on the Commons, and I even just found another one on flickr with an appropriate license. So, I'm not sure if the main editors here thought that a more recent picture (or another reason I'm just not seeing) was worth using. Anyways, my point is that I'm going to put one of the images I found on the Commons of their performance at the Big Day Out festival in Perth, Australia. -Lindsey8417 22:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

It looks like the best one in Commons to me. I haven't looked in Flickr, but if there's one there with an appropriate tag, then go for it. --lincalinca 09:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Pop punk

Aren't MCR pop punk. They have pop elements and a sort of rocky edge, and that is the pop punk sound. Thundermaster367 09:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Pop elements doesn't make them pop. Punk influences doesn't make them punk. They're a diversified, heavy alternative rock group. The dip into a few different wells, but they're not essentially pop or punk. It's too specific to depict them as that when that's far from their central musical style. I don't really know where you're going associating pop, though. They're not Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, Sum 41 or Panic! at the Disco. --lincalinca 10:18, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

However, Gerard Way states the band are violent, dangerous pop. And violent, dangerous pop is pop punk. And pop punk is clearly the style of I'm Not Okay and I Don't Love You. Thundermaster367 11:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

But it's not the style of Welcome To The Black Parade, Cancer, or Sleep. Their influences are diverse, and many of their songs, especially on The Black Parade, cannot be placed into one specific genre.--Tame The Tiger 01:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

However it is the style of Three Cheers and therefore I think it should be included. 86.155.162.127 (talk) 14:54, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

"Stay away"

Are there any reliable sources that are able to confirm that the title of the new song they have been playing is "Stay away"? I haven't seen any confirmation from the band at all.--Tame The Tiger 02:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Nah, at the moment it's just a Youtube rumour, people are deducing it from the lyrics more than anything... Alienpmk 11:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

At the bristol gig i believe Gerard introduced the song as "Stay". (86.159.136.163 20:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC))

02 areana

They played 3 new songs apparently, find sources and mention? (86.159.136.163 15:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC))

I haven't heard that. It's unlikely. If that's true, it will most likely be on YouTube.--Tame The Tiger (talk) 22:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I've been hearing they've been playing new songs within the Black Parade set also. I've got friends going to the Melbourne concert in a couple of weeks. We'll see if they play them then. --lincalinca 05:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I do know that they have been bringing back more Bullets material. It could be that the people who didn't hear that album thought it was new.--Tame The Tiger (talk) 15:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I went to the MCR concert in Melbourne Dec 1, something I havent seen before was played along with cancer, it was about a 30 second song, that came ahead of cancer, so it basically turned into cancer after it was finished, i'm not sure if it was a new song or if its what gerard usually does when he plays cancer, they did play "desert song" though Blkeddie! 15:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Associated Acts

How are they an associated act with Fall Out Boy? I understand they may have toured with them, but they have more profilic relationships with other bands, such as Taking Back Sunday and The Used, over Fall Out Boy.

Anyone clarify? Kokiri kid (talk) 05:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Seriously. they aren't associated with Fall out boy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.167.138 (talk) 22:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Bobs replacement on Australian tour

[4] the link guides you to an interview with Gerard stating that tucker is currently filling in for bob, please add this in the members part if deemed encyclopedic. Blkeddie! 16:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Is that really needed in the members section? Tucker is only filling in. That does not necessarily mean he is a member.--Tame The Tiger 22:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Genre

MCR are here labeled as Alternative Rock. In my humble opinion, that label doesn't fit at all. It is a known fact that they are Emo, but many people are afraid to tell so. Well, they cannot be called 'Alternative Rock', that is a completely different genre (ex: bands like Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand...), but we cannot also call them 'Punk Rock', because they are not punks as well. I think the genres that fit better are Emo and Pop Punk, and that's all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ARTP26 (talk • contribs) 12:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

To be blunt, because I am tired of this, your humble opinion does not matter. Rude as it may seem, this issue has long since been resolved, as seen by the archives and by the message at the top of this page clearly stating NOT to bring up whether the band is emo or not, unless you have a reliable source. Your opinion is not a source at all.Dizzydark (talk) 04:21, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Album covers

It would be great to have again the covers for each album... in the bio or in the discography... it looked awesome.
Could we put 'em?

Band logo in infobox

I have recently had many of the band logos I have uploaded removed from pages by IllaZilla, without consensus and with flawed logic, at least from my point of view. On this basis I believe they should not be removed until a consensus is agreed upon. Asenine (talk)(contribs) 17:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

IllaZilla definitely should have discussed this first before removing all these images from several bands' articles. The images are, however, non-free and are subject to the fair-use criteria. I'm not one to interpret that though, so the logos should stay until a consensus is reached. Timmeh! 23:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
1) Yes the discussion is ongoing, and you are invited to participate in it at Template talk:Infobox Musical artist#Logos, however I think you will find the consensus is pretty clear: Logos don't belong in the name field of the infobox. The name should be in plain text. This is consistent with the purpose of the infobox and with WP:ACCESS, as users with slow connections or images disabled will be unable to read the name. If the logo is notable, then it should be in the body of the article next to a discussion of its significance: Who created it? What does it symbolize? In what context is it used? This is too much discussion to cram into the infobox, and since logos are copyrighted and may only be used once per article, the appropriate place for them is in the article body. Without any discussion then the image is clearly only serving a decorative purpose and thus fails Wikipedia's criteria for non-free images and fair use.
2) I notice you've tried to meet the issue halfway by placing both the name in plain text and the logo underneath. This is less objectionable, but still not acceptable. The infobox does not have a field for logos, and for a reason: it has a field for a free image of the artist. This, combined with the artist's name in plain text, provides identification of the artist, and in the best possible way: Free. A logo does not accomplish this, and since you already have the photo and the name the logo is again serving a strictly decorative purpose, thus failing fair use.
3) To address the specific images you seem to be stuck on, namely Taking Back Sunday, Saosin, +44, and My Chemical Romance: none of these are in fact logos, they are just the stylization of the band's name pulled of their most recent album. You seem to have some confusion as to what a logo actually is: it's an ideogram, symbol, emblem, icon, sign, and/or typeface used consistently over time and across various media to identify something, in this case a band. None of the images you are using have been used consistently enough to be called a proper logo. Take your My Chemical Romance image: It's the stylization of the band's name from the cover of The Black Parade, and thus also appears on the merchandise (shirts, stickers, etc.) associated with that album. But it's not the same as the stylization used on I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, or the merchandise associated with those albums. When the band releases a new album, chances are the name will be stylized differently. Thus this particular stylization is not used consistently enough to be called a logo. What makes it more of an "official" logo than this? I'd say nothing except the fact that it's more recent, which doesn't carry much weight. Not every band has a logo. Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, KISS, and Rocket from the Crypt are examples of bands that had logos: symbols and/or lettering that was used consistently across most of their careers and almost all of their albums and merchandise. The bands whose "logos" you are defending don't in fact have logos at all.
To conclude, since we are debating about copyrighted images that fall under fair use criteria, the onus is on you to provide some rationale for including them, not on me to rationalize removing them. And unless you can come up with a valid rationale (ie. something better than "logos look cool") they're going to stay out. --IllaZilla (talk) 03:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
And on what basis do you assume that you have the final say? You're not the definitive voice of reason. I now can understand where you are coming from and will stick only to logos that are frequently recurring - but I find it highly insensitive and unprofessional for you to simply assume that by having a long 'conclusion' you have ended the argument, like you suggest in your remark "they're going to stay out". Asenine (talk)(contribs) 17:05, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I simply meant "to conclude my comments" since it was a very long comment. And by "they're going to stay out" I meant that because consensus on this issue is very heavily weighted towards not having logos in the infobox, concerned editors (other than just myself) are going to continue taking active steps to make sure they are not used in that way. No offense was intended by either remark. --IllaZilla (talk) 20:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC) Asenine (talk)(contribs) 21:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Post-Hardcore?

I would deff. say that Alternative rock can be labeled as MCR's genre, but they are so much more than just that. I deff. see some post-hardcore in there music. Not really so much pop-punk, but i can see post-hardcore more because they kind of took the hardcore style and made it into a more mainstream, alternative genre. Anyone else agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmyv811 (talk • contribs) 07:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
