Okay, this is the same biography but there was a few mistakes so I fixed them for you.

Based in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punk-pop band that has been compared to Thursday and, to a lesser degree, Cursive. Many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, but My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and pop-minded. My Chemical Romance got started in the early 2000s, when lead singer Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier decided to try writing some songs together. The first tune that Way and Pelissier -- who had been friends since high school -- came up with was called "Skylines and Turnstiles" (a title reflecting the fact that Way had been working in New York City, where he was in the animation field. This is also about the 9-11 attack). Way and Pelissier both felt good about the song, and Way asked guitarist Ray Toro if he would be interested in working with them. My Chemical Romance's five-man lineup was complete when Way, Pelissier, and Toro joined forces with bassist Mikey Way (Gerard Way's brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With that lineup in place, the band started playing all around the Northeast Corridor and made plans to begin working on its first album.

In 2002, Eyeball Records (the New York-based indie that Thursday had recorded for) released My Chemical Romance's debut album,(Mikey had been working at Eyeball for an Intership) I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. The album was often compared to Thursday -- a comparison that, for various reasons, was inevitable and unavoidable. Both bands were from New Jersey, both had recorded for Eyeball, and both combined punk-pop's musical aggression with introspective, confessional lyrics. Plus, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was produced by Geoff Rickly, Thursday's lead singer -- add all of those things up, and there was no way that My Chemical Romance was going to escape Thursday comparisons. But Thursday isn't their only influence; reviewers have cited the Smiths, Morrissey, the Cure,The Smashing Pumpkins and the Misfits as influences. And Way has even cited British heavy metal icons Iron Maiden as an influence.

Lyrically, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love is as dark as it is introspective and cathartic; Way has been quoted as saying that the band's lyrics were a great way for him to deal with the problems he had been going through (which included severe depression and a serious illness in his family). The 2002 release included Way and Pelissier's first song, "Skylines and Turnstiles," and many of the album's other song titles were equally intriguing, including "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us," "Drowning Lessons," "Headfirst for Halos," "Our Lady of Sorrows," and "Vampires Will Never Hurt You." In 2003, My Chemical Romance signed with Reprise/Warner Bros.

Their Second Album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" was released in late 2004. The First single "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", a high speed anthem for the contiually downtrodden and rejected, caught America off-gaurd and put MCR (My Chemical Romance) in the spotlight almost overnight.

The second single "Helena" a slow almost haunting ballat (but not really, it's also very up-beat) dedicated to Elena Rush (the Way brothers' late grand mother.) Brings to mind "The Cure", other noteworthy songs on the album are "The Ghost of You", "Thank You for The Venom" and "To The End". My Chemical Romance was also Featured on this years "A Taste Of Chaos" tour this spring and also go a half hour concert special on the "Fuse" music network.

Review about My Chemical Romance

omfg | Reviewer: gabby | 11/2/09

this is epic.. they have their own type of sound and i fell in love.. this music is what is going through my mind on a regular basis so thank you my ex bf for making me listen to them.. i have found a new respect for this band

My opinion | Reviewer: Michael | 7/21/09

I love My Chemical Romance but I disagree with them being called a goth rock band or a punk pop band. I think the music they create is more like punk metal. It has the speed and lyrics of punk but also has the aggression and guts of heavy metal. I also think there music is heavily misinterpreted.

Nostalgia, what? | Reviewer: William | 5/10/09

Ahh looking through these lyrics...epic. My Chemical Romance is a truly talented band (Yes My Chem, not Gerard. I love the man, but he gets too much attention over the other members)

The one thing that's getting on my nerves is people ignoring The Black Parade b-sides! They were all amazing songs, with My Way Home is Through You being the best..

But yeah, Kudos to a truly talented and inspiration band, it was them who first inspired me to go into music

mcr is lol | Reviewer: juana | 5/3/09

i used to be sooooo obsesed with them..until i realised they were killing my fun and i thought i had to be sad to connect with them..they changed me into a FREAK!!!!!but yeah you can love them..i did..youl forget them just like i did

Uh you guys need to realize | Reviewer: Mary | 4/20/09

MCR is by far the most amazing band, but you cant say they saved your life because they didnt. YOU saved your own life not a band, no matter how amazing they are. the one thing they can do best is make you not give a sh*t, and maybe thats a good thing. But i love them forever

my life's hero | Reviewer: Jenica | 3/30/09

Their band has always gave me hope. There music always calms me down. When im said i listen to demolition lovers or ghost of you. When im mad i mostly listen to i never told you what i did for a living. Their songs symbolize a great meaning to music. I really love them. I started liking them in 7th grade and ever since i've always liked them. And there new songs too :)

alright | Reviewer: jenn | 3/24/09

yeah.. it was alright but i think you should update the picture... plus Gerard Way is my hero he saved me so many times because i went through some tough personal times and if they dident exsist i probaly would be dead right now i was just looking around on youtube and i clicked on something that gave me the name of "Famous Last Words" and i love that song so much <3

I don't know what to say... | Reviewer: Alyssa | 2/26/09

This band saved my life. After coming extremely close to a violent suicide attempt, I heard "Helena" on the radio. It saved my life...
Thank you MCR, for being my gaurdian angels.
I will ALWAYS support you.
Thank you for existing <3

Ignorance is Bliss | Reviewer: Eduardo | 2/25/09

people say "The Black Parade" is a great album.Those who followed MCR from the start (me) don't think so.The early albums reflected Gerard's sadness."the black Parade" doesnt.It sounds sick but i liked gerard when he was sad.songs like "Skylines and Turnstiles" or "I'm not okay" are the good ones.
Then again,every one is entitled to their own opionion

Thankyou | Reviewer: Rachel | 2/21/09

I am a musical, imaginative, and artistc person. Everything I observe magnifies what I see. When I first heard the song "Welcome to the Black Parade", I melted into happiness. After that, yur music nspired me greatly. Since then, I can think for myself and really, just live. My Chemical Romance, when your going through depression and other forms of teenage hell, you need somebody to look up to. Thanx for being there for me.
