MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
The Black Parade is Dead!
At this point, MCR needs no introduction. The band led by Gerard Way is an icon of current punk-rock and every day thousands of fans around the world join their "carnival”. The good news is that the quintet will release The Black Parade is Dead! this month and we will invite you to its launch!
BY: XABIERA SAN MIGUEL B.
When My Chemical Romance visited South America with their world tour last February and we learned that Chile and Argentina were included in the tour, we perfectly understood that thousands of fans would fulfill their dream of seeing their favorite band live, however, not all of them could attend the event, and for that reason, when we found out that the CD+DVD The Black Parade is Dead! would be arriving in record stores on July 5th, we got our act together and got ex-clusive tickets for the launch. Yes, just as you read it, we will invite you to the premiere of My Chemical’s new material…, but first things first, you should first know what all the musical fuss is about.
Why not miss The Black Parade is Dead!
- To begin with, this is the second live DVD in the career of the quintet from New Jersey, which began its history in the winter of 2001. The first was Life on the Murder Scene and was released in 2006.
- The dual-format material includes completely live images and sounds, and compiles two concerts from The Black Parade World Tour, but they are two completely different concerts from each other.

- The tour, which began in February 2007 and ended on May 9 at New York’s Madison Square Garden, included 138 dates of electrifying concerts, in which Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Bob Bryar, Frank Lero and Mikey Way

“mikey way
“me and gerard, we’re the best friends in the world”
Once again, we meet Mikey Way. But this time this guy talks soooooo much. Hi hi hi! Never thought Mikey could be this chatty!
Long coat and black jeans, that’s the outfit worn by Mikey Way when he met W at the Malia Hotel, Thursday afternoon, January 31, 2008. Wow, he looked really neat. But when watching MCR’s concert a few hours later, it turned out that Mikey was also wearing the same costume, he he he. It’s very clear that his long coat and all-black jeans are not just a style but an important part of his identity.
Anyway… Mikey looked relaxed as he shook hands with W. As a small talk, W of course asked him what he thought about Jakarta. He answered honestly. “So far, great. But I haven’t been here long. Only 12 hours, only half a day. So, you know.”He said as he took a large white plastic cup of coffee from the table in front of him. His hands looked a little shaky.
Gosh, Mikey, the conversation has become so serious, huh, he he he. W reminds me that the name My Chemical Romance was taken from one of the books Mikey read when he was still working at Barnes & Noble bookstore, namely Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance by Irvine Welsh. mentioned by Mikey, here. Wow, it seems so funny to imagine Mikey being a bookworm, huh? Apart from Gerard being the vocalist and frontman of My Chem, he is still Mikey’s ‘big brother’. So, let’s just start asking about Gerard, shall we?
Mmm, maybe we can start with a question that’s not too direct, huh…
What’s the most annoying thing about Gerard?
“Him? There’s nothing bad about him. Even if there’s something annoying, it makes me love him even more. Ha ha. Even if there’s something bad about him, it’s endearing. Gera is a very talented and admirable individual.”
What is the annoying side of you in Gerard’s eyes?
“Me? Well, I don’t know. Ha ha. Maybe you guys better ask Gerard directly, haha ha.”
Have you two ever fought?
“We have. It’s natural. But not too often. In a few years maybe.”
Can you tell us a little bit about how you and Gerard are actually brothers? what kind?
“We’re the best friends in the world. We always hang out together. We always talk. Especially when we’re on tour, we always share a room in a hotel. only once we fought, ha ha ha. We barely fight.”
Do you still have time to read a book?
“Yes, I still am. Right now I’m reading Needful Things by Stephen King. This is actually my second time reading it, he he he.”
Wow, you really like horror stories, huh?
“Ha ha ha, yes. I like horror novels and also horror movies. Stephen King is a great horror writer. Many of his books are horror themed. I really like Stephen King.”
From early on, it seemed like Gerard did most of the talking.
“I only talk when necessary. Not only me, Frank, Bob and Ray have also. But more often than not we have to take care of our own musical instruments, so we leave that responsibility to Gerard, he he he.”
Totally agree, Mikey Unfortunately, Gerard isn’t there, hu hu hu!
On stage, Gerard is the same. Have you ever joined in the conversation with the audience?
“Well, yes sure. I have.”
Anyway, really happy to chat with you. Lately, MCR has been using piano players a lot at concerts, huh?
“We do everything like other big bands do.”
Are there plans to make James Dewees a permanent member of MCR?
Oh, James. He’s already become My Chem family member since ama. Even though he is not a member of MCR, he is our friend. We have also known him for a long time. Besides, we like the sound of our concert piano. So, we keep using it.
Why, the hell, is the sound of the piano so important to MCR?
“Piano is the basis for all music. Since we know a cool piano player like James Dewees, we might as well include him in the line-up. Unfortunately, James is currently at sound check, so he can’t be here.”
My Chem, that’s how Mikey shortens the name My Chemical Romance. Frankly, W also knows nothing, he he he. When asked when My Chem (yikes, I’m following Mikey) will release a new album, Mikey said it would be around early or mid 2009. Wow, that’s still quite a long time away, huh. When W asked about My Chem’s three previous albums, this guy remained enthusiastic, cas cis cus.(?)
Tell us about the metamorphosis from the first to the third album…
“Sure sure”
Album: Bullets
“We were still very young. We were in our early 20s and we had only been in the band for about 10 months. Every song that was created at that time was indeed in accordance with our condition at that time. If you listen to it, you will definitely feel the nuances of My Chem now. The songs on the first album are like ‘the younger brother of The Black Parade,
Is the creative process different?
“Let’s see… The first album, / was really green, he he he. Gerard was also very young. We felt more spontaneous. The second album, Three Cheers… was more mature, more aggressive. The longer it went on, the clearer it became in The Black Parade. The difference was probably with the presence of Bob on drums. He is one of the phenomenal drummers. Many people say so. Because of Bob, The Black Parade seemed touching on many musical genres.”
What if someone says that The Black Parade sounds smoother than previous albums?
“Technically, yes. The first album was made in the basement. The sound was rough. But eventually we had a bigger studio and had more time to prepare the material.”

2008 gerard way lecture at sva
gerard way lecture at sva 2008
“I was there too yesterday, with my friend. We were the two Russian girls that raised our hands.
I thought the Detroit thing was really funny. We were laughing about that a lot later.I asked the question about meeting one person in history. I remember he scrunched up his face in that trademark way of his for that one. Haha. And the answer was just, so cute.
My friend asked the question about what his favorite font is. He got really excited about that one. The first time he’s been asked that!
He mentioned Trajan and Futura Bold as his favorite fonts. Everyone was like, please don’t say “Comic Sans”. Lol. He said something about a Fiesta font too. And Serif and Sans serif. (Forget which one he said he liked)And Alex Toth-that was the artist he mentioned as his biggest inspiration. “I will always be chasing that…”
I forget though, what was that Comic book that he mentioned as “changing his life”. It was issues 00 and 01 that he specified.
Omgosh, and X-Men! He bought the issue with Wolverine Crucified on the cover. And he was saying how, being Catholic, his parents weren’t going to like that. Lol.
Oh, and my favorite quote from the evening was, (It just really spoke to me, I guess, because I hope to go to SVA next year. I recently got accepted! )
“You have to live, breathe, eat, shit art” or at least, it was something along those lines.
