english translation:
“mikey’s way” before hitting the road again, heading for Germany, the band members take a lunch break… The waiter asks them if they prefer sandwich bread or a “French baguette”? The Way brothers choose French bread. Once served, Mikey Way’s face falls in front of his roast beef sandwich. “It’s raw!”, the bassist wonders. (the only time of the day when he spoke…) “That’s normal, it’s eaten like that!”, his brother replies. “Oh? Okay…”
“It was unmanageable on the day of the concert. It’s too much stuff in one day. As a result, we rarely have time to enjoy the places where we stop for more than a day.” Gerard then joins the rest of the group in front of the Carrousel du Sacré-Cœur. Together, the five of them happily indulge in a photo shoot organized for an English teen magazine. The photographer is keen to take advantage of the very ‘Frenchie’ setting of the Montmartre district. Under the astonished gaze of a few tourists who wonder what is going on, the group takes their place in front of the merry-go-round. “This is the first time we’ve been asked to smile for a photo shoot!” laughs Ray Toro, guitar. A fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s film, the group then recognizes a few places seen in the film Amélie Poulain. The tour continues, with a few comments on French architecture and culture. As soon as they arrive at the first comic book store, everyone forgets their fatigue and doesn’t waste a second rushing to buy the new Star Wars figurines and other comics.
A customer stares at Frank before asking him if he’s in a band: “Do you play in The Cure?” Frank bursts into laughter and answers in the negative before going to tell the others his little story. After a few purchases (Misfits figurines, etc.), it’s already time to get back on the tour bus. “We write a lot on our tour bus. We’ve practically converted the ‘lounge area’ into a studio! We’ve already written a few songs. We might even go back into the studio after the tour. It’s a bit different, but it’s a logical evolution since Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge,” says Gerard Way, who recently did some backing vocals for Every Time I Die’s new album. But the band’s current news is on the road. “We’re thinking of doing another tour in the United States in September,” Frank continues. “For the moment, nothing is certain, but it could well be that we open for a big band with whom we’ve already played…” Green Day? “We can’t say anything,” smiles Gerard. In any case, playing with Green Day has taught us a lot. Just by watching them. They can fill stadiums and keep a constant communication with the audience. Billie Joe is an incredible frontman. We are much better on stage today, partly thanks to opportunities like these. It’s amazing to go from 300 people to 10 or 20 times more. A real challenge for us and also the best learning for a young band. […] Otherwise, we really want to do splits with other bands. We were talking about a split 45 with Alkaline Trio, it will be done according to our schedules.“ Time is on your side!”

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.

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.
