“Hot music

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
Following their 2 million-selling ‘Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge’, the boys are now presenting their third album. The main character of the new album, which they recorded in 2006 with producer Rob Cavallo (Goo Goo Dolls, Alanis Morissette), is someone called ‘The Patient’, vocalist Gerard Way’s strongest memory of his childhood. It’s about the day his dad took him to a parade, hence the name of their first single, "Welcome to the Black Parade.” This material is the group’s most commercial, with a punk style similar to Green Day’s. However, in songs like “The Sharpest Lives” and “House of Wolves” they retain the dark style that characterizes them. Good!
City: New Jersey
Influences: Besides the fact that they like watching horror movies, they listen to Queen, The Smiths/Morrissey, The Cure, Iron Maiden and The Misfits.
The group’s name comes from a book written by Irvine Welsh, titled ‘Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance’.
The band was formed when Gerard Way called his high school friend Matt Pelissier in 2002 to form a new musical group.
