My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance is an American Rock band from New Jersey, formed in the year 2001. The band contains lead vocalist Gerard Way, Ray Toro & Frank Iero as guitarists, and bassist Mikey Way. At first, this band may seem as the type of Rock band that is more on the emo/gothic side. But, to be honest I would disagree with this. Yes, they wear eyeliner and what not, but that doesn't necessarily classify them under emo. I just feel that people should not have the right to label others based on what their style is. Personally, this band is one of the only rock bands that I knew of. The others I have written about I researched myself, and spent time listening to their music. But My Chemical Romance is a band that I will always like. I just feel like their music is so energy relieving, and it's just the type of Rock that I enjoy listening to.

MY FAVORITE SONG:

Helena

This is the first song that I heard from this band. I stumbled across this band when I was about 11 years old. My friend was listening to this song and I enjoyed it, so she's the one that really got me into Rock. My Chemical Romance is a "memory" band for me, since I listened to this band when I was relatively young. This band is what initially got me into Rock, in the first place. So it only seemed right to write a blog post about this band. I really recommend this band to anybody that is looking to listen to relatively new music, and that already likes Rock music.

Another song that I thought had an interesting beginning was:

The Black Parade

The reason I say this is because the beginning of the song sounds like an excerpt from a classical/familiar song. But then I especially like it when the whole mood changes from a more mellow feel, to a more upbeat song. These two extremes is what really draws me in as a listener.
