    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!

    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.

  • 2010 gerard wants to see fucked up killjoys

    ‘the kids better be dressed really fucked up’ gerard said before the first night of the World Contamination Tour in London. He was joking and mock challenging the fans, but there was a part if him that was serious. ‘I hope i’m not disappointed. If they aren’t I’m gonna be like, "I dunno if I want to do this anymore.” There better be masks or I’m gonna be pissed. What’s the fucking point if they’re not going to dress up? If they don’t come up to me and tell me their Killjoy name, I"m going. to be bummed’“ – gerard from the mcr book "not the life it seems”

  • Alex Saavedra (founder of eyeball records and early advocate or mcr) responded on reddit and he liked my username!

    I got an original 2002 bullets shirt! and he came on reddit to say it’s legit. He explains real bullets merch vs recreations/new bullets merch. It’s hard to tell on ebay what is real bullets merch or something that was sold at hot topic in 2014.
