Reviews for My Chemical Romance

i dont know what to say. mcr is everything. they have really opened me up and made me the person i am today, i listen to them often, theyre my fave band. sheesh. they really got me into so many amazing musicians, like bullet for my valentine, escape the fate, bowling for soup, the hot lies, sum 41, mindless self indulgence, Panic at the disco.... and so much more its rediculous. i have been inspired by all these bands, but mainly mcr. im not emo, and neither are mcr, and whoever does call themself or mcr or anybody else emo or any rediculous label, should grow up. anyone who commits self harm really has problems and shouldnt blame anyone but themself. obviously they get the worng message, because mcr promote anti suicide and depression and really do save lives by doing so. their music is very influeantial, and always lifts my spirits up. well any band i love does.
thats the end of my little rant about mcr.
dont ever be afraid of life, battle it like a warrior, and never for a second back down.

i love mcr so much, i dont know what id be without them. i wouldnt be the same person i am now if they werent at all in this world.
i have changed so much ever since i haerd the first song i heard, which was welcome to the black parade. i loved that song so much when it was played on the radio, it got me straight into mcr. and so i love every single thing about them. and now im such a happy person, without them i have no idea who i woud be.

mcrmy unite forever and for infinity.
dont ever be afraid of life, battle it like a warrior, and dont ever back down for one second.

MCR=LIFE

MCR ARE MY ALL TIME HEROES!!!!!
I love MCR,I LOVE THIER MUSIC,THIER STYLE.I THINK THEY ARE ON THE ROAD TO GREATNESS.THIER MUSIC IS SO INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATING.EVERY ONE SEEMS TO JUDGE THEM,I SAY GET TO KNOW THEM,LISTEN TO THIER MUSIC,THEY WILL PROVE YOU WRONG.
MCR ARE MY HEROES!!!!

For everyone who attacks mcr and calls them posers and emos, shut the hell up. They have been through more shit in the past few YEARS than most of you have probly been through in your LIFE. They are real heros, they saved my life and tehy are based on a true story...

Ok there have been many times when I have wanted to just pass away and move on! But all I have to do is grab my ipod and put on My Chemical Romance they are my favorite band in the whole entire world!!! I love Raymond Toro Ortiz, Gerard Arthur Way, Bob Bryar (I can't find his middle name anywhere!), Michael James Way, and last but not least!! Frank Anthony Iero!! I love them with all of my heart and if anything ever happened to them I would die inside I would just sit in a corner crying I would be the shell of a human and nothing else. They are so inspirational!! My dream is to one day meet them! I have not yet gone to on of their concerts, but I will one day! That is one promise I make to them!

mmmmmk,
i listen mainly 2 hip hop, rnb n rap but a friend told me 2 listen 2 ghost of u n i LOVED it. i had already loved famous last words and this opened the door 4 me 2 listen 2 more of their songs n i like most of them. theyre not that heavy so ne 1 who says u gotta b emo 2 listen 2 my chem, im living proof against that. ohh n 1 other thing, im glad 4 u ppl who say that my chem saved ur life. u deserve 2 enjoy life n if they make that possible then gud 4 u.

Hey.. just wanna let off some steam I guess.
I'm not an MCR fan, but I do have a problem with a friend who loves the band. Shes been cutting herself, she was emitted to the hospital, and now shes getting professional help. She tried drowning herself, but freaked out, and went back to land. Her mom&dad, and I'm ashamed to say this, but even I, am blaming MCR for it. She told the doctors she cut herself but doesn't know why, she said she has a great life, lots of friends, she loves her family, she cuts herself because it relieves her from stress. She says MCR is the only thing shes got. She makes Youtube videos, which was against her punishment, she got her computer taken away for the first two months of the summer, but snuck on to visit MCR sites, and now shes gother privleges back and shes making Youtube videos about the band. Her dad told me if there was anything I didn't know, to tell them ASAP, they said it'd mean the world to them, and I don't wanna let them down. I know my friends gunna get mad at me if I tell on her for the videos, but I know she'll forgive me eventually. I'd rather her going around hating me for awhile, then going around knowing shes hurting herself. I don't want you guys out there to say I'm dissing on Gerard Way, because I'm not, not even close. I just need some advice from somebody. I've tried everything, I don't enjoy MCR music, only a couple songs, I like Teenagers and Cancer, but those are the only ones I can actually relate to. I tried liking the music, getting into it, for her so we had stuff in common again, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Shes made 6 MCR videos, I told her if she made a 7th, I was gunna call her dad. It feels in my heart like I'm doing the right thing, but.. I'm not so sure. I know MCR has saved a lot of your lives, but she only started to cut when they came into the picture, and a lot of people believe they almost took hers.
E-mail me at taylor0101995@hotmail.com and please give me some advice, Idk what to do about this anymore, and I feel like giving up on everything.

Is anybody here over age 14 and 90 IQ? Somehow I doubt it, if the utter inanity of these "reviews" is any indication!

I am almost 50 and I like MCR for their sheer showmanship and songwriting chops.

And BTW anybody who seriously thinks a pop/rock (call it whatever you want) band literally "saved their life" really needs to GET a life! Take your iPod along if you must, but how about actually getting out of your room once in awhile and DOING something that gives you a legitimate sense of accomplishment?

You also might want to try a couple of "dark" non-mainstream bands that still manage to maintain their sense of humor: Mindless Self Indulgence is a good place to start [official site: www.mindlessselfindulgence.com ]

Alright first of all MCR IS NOT EMO!!! Gerard even said that emo is bullshit. WTF is up w/ people and calling themselves emo... labels are for soup cans!!! I myself have been labeled as emo even though I don't follow the stereotype. It's all the work of fucking jocks and cheerleaders (prepies) who came up with these fucking labels to destroy the spirits of those deemed uncool... Oh and if anybody is dressing or acting "emo" they're just FUCKING POSERS!!! Seriously get a life... Oh and by the way, If you think The Black Parade is their best album, then you guys only started listening to them when they came out with that album. I've been to 2 concerts (pre-Black Parade) and they were way fucking better than the one I saw after it came out.
Oh and just to clarify thing "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" is there best album... there's just no comparison.

So everybody's been saying MCR is emo. Well...FUCK YOU!!! EMO IS A PILE OF BULLSHIT! It's a label that society gave people to deem them unworthy. And people who try so hard to be emo are a bunch of FUCKING POSERS!!!
I believe MCR saves lives...Hell I'm living proff. When I was 13 I became addicted to heroine, but I couldn't pay for it so I started selling my body to 40 yr old guys. I became so disgusted with myself I couldn't look at myself in the mirror anymore. I became suicidal, and one day I finally snaped. I took an entire bottle of asprin, I slit my wrists, and I tried to drown myself in my bathtub. I was found by my friend Leon. He rushed me to the hospital and they were able to save me. One night I heard music coming from down the hall. It was coming from the nurses station. She was listening to a song that made me fill with joy once more, The song... "Our Lady of Sorrows" Ever since then I have been an MCR fan. They've helped me get through a lot of my problems.

Oh and to people who think "The Black Parade" is their best album is not a true fan... Compared to the others that album is a pile of comercial conformity. Their first 2 albums eclipse the 3rd album.

say what you want but the black parade is still a really good album. if you find it boring you arent actually listening to the music. yes they strayed away from their signature emo-punk style but they traded it in for a more ambitious grander sound. however i do think three cheers for sweet revenge was better. something interesting about mcr they model their career after the smashing pumpkins. a little background on the pumpkins their first album was released with a small label and their next 2 albums which were major label releases were really good and sold very well. then their next two discs did badly they broke up and got back together(well two of them anyway) seven years later and released an album that has been only a modest success. that doesnt sound like a very good career model especially since mcr's career to date is all too similar to that of the smashing pumpkins at their three album mark. be scared mcr fans- the black parade is dead.

my chemical romance has had a big influence on me since i started listning to them last year. All my friends call me emo for listning to them ,but i know different. The lyrics mean a lot to me, and listning to gerard and the boys really keep me going. My favourite songs are 'heaven help us, kill all your friends, welcome to the black parade, im not ok, helena, the ghost of you and cancer. Of course, i love all their songs, but those mean the most to me.

Ok, i am reading all of your fkn complaints bitchin about what you think about them. NEWS FLASH! every1 has a fkn opinion. i know amazing. This comment is not a bout me, fine a tiny bit! but my freind. who has never been emo in her life, but is inspired by gerard and just about evry thing she talks about is about MCR... the band MCR has given me a freindship not something unreal like no more suicide. trust me, it doesnt work that way unless you actually know him. and i think there are very few fans that know him and were suicidle...
thanx..

I know I sound like every other MCR fan.
And I know I sound so corny and attention seeking.
But when I read all these comments like, "OMG i wuz lyk suicidal and then i herd welcome to the blak parade and i just wanted to live agen nd now im lyk, the biggest mcr fan in da wurld even tho i only no one damn song":
You don't know the half of it. Trust me.
Have any of you had to contact the police about your peers?
Have any of you ever blamed yourself for the fact that you just found out all the people you thought were your friends actually hate you?
Have any of you ever been verbally, physically and virtually attacked?
Have any of you ever tried to throw yourself in front of a car?
And after, only after, stumble across MCR's music and got so addicted to it that you felt it was your only lifeline?
Didn't think so. My Chem saved my life, they probably did save some of yours, but not every damn one of you actually are telling the truth, are you?
By the way, Gerard Way says emo is a pile of bullshit. No joke, so don't give yourselves such pathetic labels, you make yourself you, not what stereotype people think you are.

You know everyone has a different view about them.
And I will proudly say this...
THEY SAVED MY LIFE.

Go ahead thrash on me, like I give a fuck. As if you people know me enough to actually say this band is just a band. There more than that and they save my life. So shut the fuck up. They inspire me, they're my heroes.

& to the people who say they changed...
Well duh! They did. But listen, they're fucking growing. I'd support them no matter what. They're still the same band with different views, morals, and beliefs. Leave them alone.

And fuck off, if you think I'm some teenie. I'm a fan... Nothing Less, nothing more.
