All of this needs to be deleted. It is OR, unsourced and conflicts with commentary in sourced media (for example, NME says that the Patient dies during Dead!). Until you can source it, it does not belong on Wikipedia. Period. -- Jamdav86 18:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
There are no sources and they are inaccurate. -- Jamdav86 14:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Is MCR Alternative Metal? Famous last words sounds similar to Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace. I think they might have a few other songs that may be alt. metal. íslenskur fel lib ylur #12 (samtal) 01:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I can't find a source. How many songs would fit under this genre? íslenskur fel lib ylur #12 (samtal) 02:13, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Well I have seen some songs on Metal compilation Cd's, and I read an article today which described them as 'metal tinged'. It was in a magazine though... Kokiri kid 07:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Ahah. Touché ;) Kokiri kid 08:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
hmmm, i don't think they're alt-metal. i believe that three days grace are alt metal since altmetal doesn't necessarily mean metal, more of just alt-hard rock. but then again, people consider sum 41 alt-metal, so idk, you could call them that if you want, but i don't agree. Itachi1452 23:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Add them as Alt. Metal, and i will slit my wrists. Also, 3 Days grace is not Alt. metal. 65.147.174.84 03:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
yes, may you slit your wrists in peace. i agree that MCR is not alt metal in anyway. but 3 days grace is alt metal, i'm not the only one who says that. critics say that, plus, i know what alt metal is. if you were to go into my room, you'd see towers of cd's with bands like breaking benjamin, tool, chevelle, cold, 10 years, a perfect circle, evans blue, eighteen visions, soad... Itachi1452 22:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the fact that anyone would disrespect the band that much, doesn't know to much about respect. If they didn't want to listen to MCR play they should've just went somewhere else. They should be ashamed of theirselves for doing that to a band that comes to play a show just for them and in return they get bacon and stuff thrown on them. I think whoever was there and disrespected MCR should all just go to hell. This just pissed me off so much to hear about something like that happening to MCR. - MyChemical 8:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
My Chemical Romance are not Alternative Metal. Perfect Circle and Tool are good examples of Alternative metal. My Chemical Romance are emo—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Craig231 ( talk • contribs) 10:02, 14 November 2006.
My Chemical Romance are not emo.
They're not pop rock either.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.104.26.250 ( talk • contribs) 03:38, 31 January 2007
This sort of music is usually labeled Scream Emo Crap Rock. If Sunny Day Real Estate is labeled emo, then it is lame to give a shitty band like MCR the same genre title. It is refreshing that someone had the guts to throw a bottle at these no talent ass clowns.
I could have sworn there was a topic already about this, but I went through the archive and couldn't find it. Is the "Fanfiction" information necessary? I don't think it is. I'm wondering what the argument is on keeping it. Perhaps it could be limited to a link to the fanfiction page stating that there is fanfiction written about them and not all the fans approve. I think that states it pretty well if it must be mentioned.-- Jude 15:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
oaky i recentley herd that my chem was going to do an anamitaed musical for the black parade album. i have no idea where to put it cauz this page repeats itself way to much so i leave it to you folks to do.Oh yeah..havent you people ever herd of archiveing your discussion page? Razor romance 14:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
An brief interview with G. Way in NME indicatd that he would like to put the Black Parade into another medium. Musicals and animated films were discussed, but nothing concrete was confirmed. -- Jamdav86 17:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
"In recent months, however, the two lead singers of both bands seem to have had a fallout due to disagreements over the addition of "Under Pressure" to In Love and Death. " Is it still recent months though? It's been a while in my opinion, could we change it to something more appropriate? Kokiri kid 07:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I went ahead and changed the infobox and created a Genre disputes and influences section linking from it. Please do some research and add more subgenres the band has been labelled/have labelled themselves or more influences the band has cited, as well as adding some citations to the subgenres currently there. Thanks. -- Switch 05:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Are these still needed?
-- Jamdav86 12:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
That's the point, the links didn't work while they were on the page. -- Jamdav86 19:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, this is really stupid, but I feel I just need to get it out, here's my idea on how to solve this genre dispute. So, a lot of people have thought that MCR are basically a separate genre of music or whatever, so maybe that can become official. All someone needs to do is, if anyone knows MCR or can contact them, maybe through myspace or whatever, then they need to tell MCR to say on their myspace or somewhere that would be considered official that they are whatever genre name someone thinks up. I was thinking of "chemical rock". Sounds cool, so yea. Then we can have a source of the genre and that would basically be their genre and we could also make an article for whatever genre they decide to call themselves. Weird, I know, but it's not any weirder than I am. :) íslenskur fel lib ylur #12 (samtal) 02:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Well in some magazines I've read recently, like Alternative Press, Guitar World, and one other one I forget the name of, they really don't care what they are considered by the scene. So, people can just have their personal opinions on what they think the band is considered. -- MyChemical 19:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
When it comes to genre disputes, my philosophy is to list the overarching genre that everyone can agree on. We can all agree My Chemical Romance is a "rock" band, right? Then simply list " rock" in the infobox. The particular subgenres that may or may no apply are of lesser importance in the greater picture. "Rock" or "alternative rock" has instant recognition value for people who may not know much about music. Remember, the goal is not necessarily to be specific, but to give the casual reader context for a clear understanding. WesleyDodds 22:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Why do people even care about what genre MCR is considered? It should be simple, either you like their music or not. It shouldn't matter what genre they are because, they doesn't help with anything. -- MyChemical 03:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
The "genre" argument has been tedious enough without now proclaiming MCR have invented some new kind of genre! Christ, they're good, but to say they've come up with a brand new sound is pushing it just a bit. Also, the suggestion that we ask MCR what genre they want on the listing is possibly just as insane - it's an encyclopedia not a press release! Why don't we ask Saddam Hussein how he wants to be described on his entry!?
As mentioned above, and several times previous, they are clearly a "Rock" band, and that is more than sufficent. ??:??, ?? November 2006 (UTC)
I think they're just a huge mix of genres, such as post-hardcore, punk rock, alternative rock and emo. MCR definitely can't be categorized as just one genre. 15:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
i've heard them called chemical rock. no clue where, and i think someone made it up. but if we could make up a genre, why not that? Emopunk 22:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
at this point, nothing really seems like a good answer for the genre problem. Dizzydark 01:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Handdimensixq 16:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
their stuff isnt really like anything else, is it? Dizzydark 02:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
yea, thats totally true... but their not completely like ant of their influences, even if you can hear their influences clearly in their music. Dizzydark 21:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
You guys have to be joking. My Chemical Romance sounds exactly like fallout boy, taking back sunday, my american heart, panic at the disco, rise against, hoobastank, glassjaw, something corporate and every other screamo generic emo rock band I can think of..it's the same lame formula, same stupid haircuts, same exact bad vocals. Saves the day already coined the crap as emo and now there are 500 other bands who sound exactly the same and My Chemical Romance is number 432. If you like this band, you are happy because there are now millions of songs that all fit in the same catergory. I don't know what is worse Limp Biscut Rap Rock or this generic screamo, but they both terribly suck.
Okay, I only edited it on the actual Mikey Way page, but let it be known here. Mikey DID NOT learn bass in order to be in MCR. If you've seen Life on the Murder Scene then you should note that Mikey said "Since a young age I [he] wanted to make music that effected peoples lives". It is also stated that Mikey was in several bands before MCR, even one with Gerard, and was playing bass.
So can we bear this in mind? In the booklet of bullets gerard thanks mikey for becoming a bass player.
Have MCR acknowledged that the occurrence of 'Used' in their music video is a nod to the band of the same name, rather than mere coincidence? Since it is a pretty common word, I think it should be noted that its appearing in the video is probably just coincidental. In fact, I have to question whether it has any real significance at all and whether it shouldn't just be removed altogether. -- Owain loft 20:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything else about the fallout? I've heard several reasons. One was because supposedly My Chemical Romance used The Used to get famous and once My Chem did become famous it got to there head. Then I've also heard that it is because Gerard wanted to stop drinking and such and it pissed Bert off. Does anyone know ANYTHING about it please e-mail me. gerard_way3057@yahoo.com or x_paper_fantasiesx@hotmail.com
Well if you had of read the article it states that their fallout was due to the addition of "Under Pressure" to the Used CD... Kokiri kid 00:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Does this section need to be here? It's not as if fan fiction only applies to MCR. I don't see that it adds any necessary info for an encyclopedia entry.
Ah right, my bad! Still, it was not resolved. I don't think it has any relevence here - saying that there is fan fiction about the band is probably a given, lots of other bands have it. We don't have a section about how people have written MCr, or have made websites about MCR or have drawings of MCR, etc, etc.-- Mike Infinitum 12:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
This section probably needs a cleanup, however, I would like to ask a few things for sources because if they are not sourced I will remove them since they contradict themselves or seem like nonsense. First thing is how does the song "Disenchanted" have anything to do with The Used or former drummer Matt Pelissier? As far as I am aware the song is about the concept The Patient and I am not able to draw any parallels to anything in real life in this song. I do not see how the song could be about their former drummer or The Used, a source please if we are to keep this. Next the part where it talks about references in each of their work and states the "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" video and how it says "used" in it contradicts itself saying that it might have nothing to do with the band. Also we need a source for the part about The Used saying "chemical romance" and that it has to do with My Chemical Romance. I know it might not be likely but it could be a coincidence. If we can't find sources for this as well then I will also delete it. Those are just some quick concerns that come to mind when I look at that section. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 21:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree. It reads more like a gossip column! I'd do away with the whole thing to be honest, but if people think that The Used are such an important peice of MCR's history then keep it in, but do away with the unsourced stuff.-- Mike Infinitum 00:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
In the recent issue of AP magazine Bert McCrackin was asked about his relationship with Gerard. Bert tried to dodge the question and when asked again about Gerard he said they were now friends. The band's drummer left the used and Gerard heard they were looking for a drummer and called Bert up asking him if he could play for the band. The feud has ended between mcr and the used.
it says their music is based on horro filmas and the have bloody artworw but the misfits also has this characteristics in their music does that make them EMO —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.56.165.186 ( talk • contribs)

The field was intended for solo artists only. This wasn't said in the table code, and I only found out weeks later when I happened across thetemplate's actual page. Apologies for the inconvenience. -- Jamdav86 20:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
The thing I like best about the vocals is that they are similar to all my favorite bands, Taking Back sunday, AFI, Panic at the Disco, Rise against, Box Car Racer, etc. It would be sweet if the only thing the radio would play is that same type of undistinguishable vocal. I love screamo singing. It rules. As long as the music changes, the singing and the guitar tones can remain the same and I'll be happy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Stevenson ( talk • contribs) 23:37, 16 February 2007

Blabbermouth news post mentions MCR winning the "Best band on the planet" award at the 13th Kerrang! Awards. LuciferMorgan 23:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, the information about the injuries of Gerard and Bob filming the "WTTBP" video are wrong, wrong, wrong. First of all, they were injured shooting "Famous Last Words." Gerard was tackled by Frankie, knocked down, and the ligaments were torn in his ankle. Bob, at the back of the set, was closest to the wall of flame. He sustained a third degree burn to the leg. Due to his lack of caring for this injury, it later developed into a staph infection. I have seen/heard this information in numerous interviews available on youtube, etc. where it is the actual band telling this information. Please fix it or remove it. True fans of the band do not like to read information that they know is incorrect. Thanks :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frizzles ( talk • contribs) 04:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

I feel the recent and future plans section has gotten too large compared to the other sections and was wondering everyones thought was on the manner. I was thinking of splitting the article into more sections however I wanted to see what everyone else thought. Maybe spilt it into Early Career, Major Career, Life on the Murder Scene (include everything for the release and pre-The Black Parade), and then The Black Parade section. Just a thought, however I feel that perhaps the article should be organized a bit better since it is a lot of information, or maybe remove some of it. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 00:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Looks much better now. However, I'd suggest that the paragraphs in Life On The Murder Scene that being with "On August 3, 2006, the band finished shooting the videos for their first two singles..." should be moved down to the Black Parade (2006) section, it just seems more relevent there. That would leave Life On.... quite short, but could be amalgamated with the previous section. Furthermore I suggest renaning that Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, just to be consistent with the rest of the biography divided by album titles. -- Mike Infinitum 12:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
OK changed it as I suggested above, but this leaves the Black Parade quite long. I would sugegst that a lot be removed from the album launch and gig, strip it down to basics. It seems to place so much emphasis on this occasion as if it were the pivitol moment in the bands career, whereas it was just a high profile gig, of which they have had many that haven't been mentioned. -- Mike Infinitum 22:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Disenchanted has not been confirmed as the third single as far as I know, so until someone can put a source, Disenchanted is not the third single. WIKI-GUY-16 19 December, 2006 (UTC)
MTV.com is reporting that Disenchanted and I Dont Love You are schedualed for a single release on 4/2/07[Just some kid who wants to help]11:57 pm. 2/23/07
When have they ever been referred to as the Black Parade? I know that before the album came out some people speculated that they might have changed their name, but obviously those rumors turned out to be false. I have taken it off the list of aliases, but if anyone has a valid reason to think otherwise feel free to change back. -- LadyJane 21:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
You might as well put a ref by it, and the nicknames too, to stop further confusion. -- Jamdav86 11:46, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Gerard sustained the torn ligaments, it was bob who was burned and developed a staph infection as a result. They say as much in their inteview on The List page on myspace.com Rob Tonge 5 January, 2007 (UTC)
I think the "Lack of Respect" section should be removed, and I'm going to do so. The title seems pretty far from NPOV, and I don't see how it relates, even if it did happen and it has a source. Definitely doesn't need a title like that if it stays. All the source says is that the woman isn't happy with MCR because of their "lack of support" when she was raped. There is nothing about respect, no huge crowd all aflutter over MCR's bad manners. So. I'm going to remove it for now. 4.91.110.118 02:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC) 70.179.69.43 21:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)I'm not sure why that section is there either... I'm sorry that she got raped, but if we're going to put in everyone's individual opinion of how their encounter with the band was, it's starting to sound like a gossip page. --Alicoutura
Ok, I think this section needs a bit of work done to it. There are a lot of sections and it's really long. Yes, it's mostly sourced but some can be taken out. I don't know, I think that maybe removing some of the nonsense is maybe the first step we can take to help make this a Good Article. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 17:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Really? Are they? The source article for this doesn't seem to justify that little fact, in my humble opinion. 210.55.130.65 00:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
When they first played some of their new songs in August 06 they introduced themselves as The Black Parade. Also, if you go to the tour section of their web site [6], it says "My Chemical Romance and The Black Parade". And Gerard has stated that The Black Parade (band) is the alter ego they created for The Black Parade many times. I think that justifies saying that they are also known as The Black Parade. Mcr616 18:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I found an error with the "Life on the Murder Scene (Summer 2006)" section. Where it talks about Gerard Way and Bob Bryar's injuries, it was, in fact, Bryar who sustained the burn and not Way. That is what caused Bryar's staph infection Squirrlliewrath 20:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I found an error under this section as well; the section talks about the DVD but then starts talking about the filming of "Famous Last Words" and the injuries Way and Bryar sustained. However, they have nothing to do with LotMS, so I was thinking of moving them to the The Black Parade section. However, because of the pictures put up all over the article, I didn't want to move them and ruin everything that was set up. So, if someone else with knowledge of how to fix it and not make it hideous (like I would) wants to fix it, or if someone tells me that if I move it nothing will happen to the pictures, then I will gladly fix it myself. And sorry this is so long, gah. --

This article should have one picture for My Chemical Romance, not dozens. I visit this page every single day, and I see the band picture changing every single day. This is Wikipedia, not MyStalk. I mean, MySpace. [ Litis :: Talk to me ] 14:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
The main image is tagged as a copyrighted image and the old one is tagged as GNU-no-disclaimers (we don't know if this is truth), so I really don't be any problem. Armando.O ( talk| contribs) 04:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
The four pictures in a row in the 'Image' section looks pretty unprofessional, and the current photo for the article being the MCR logo is kinda dodgy. And where it states that this is "the bands look for the first two albumsd" (in a picture caption), they didn't really start using those 'uniforms' untill the Helena video, right? Kokiri kid 08:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I uploaded the Image:Mcr press2.jpg in its original form because it was a landscape type photo, but that causes the band members to appear all small (which defeats the purpose of having the picture anyways). So I uploaded a different version of the press promo image that is currenly the one in the info box. I think its a better fit. - Lindsey8417 04:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

According to AP.net, The Black Parade went platinum last week, needs to be revised.
I think My Chemical Romance should be classified as "emo" on their genre thingy.
I have shrunk down the section and have moved some stuff around for this section. It is getting quite large and out of hand. Yes, the band may be criticized but why not add some throughout the article instead of having it all in one section? Isn't this a NPOV issue as well? If shrinking the section down is not the answer, then perhaps another solution can be discussed? I feel there is an issue when the criticism section has 4 sections and the main article is only 4 as well. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 22:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with your edit. It was fine before, and no one except you had a problem with this. Look at other bands pages, it is common to have these types of sections, the green day page come to mind as one. I'll get into this more tomorrow. Keep in mind this is one of the most criticsized groups in music today, so the size of the section may be appropriate. Hoponpop69 06:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I found this by accident and as a first timer into the MCR section I'll pass this along. Blanking on the magazine but pretty sure the article was in the current issue of Spin

hmmm, i don't think they're alt-metal. i believe that three days grace are alt metal since altmetal doesn't necessarily mean metal, more of just alt-hard rock. but then again, people consider sum 41 alt-metal, so idk, you could call them that if you want, but i don't agree.

Itachi1452 22:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the fact that anyone would disrespect the band that much, doesn't know to much about respect. If they didn't want to listen to MCR play they should've just went somewhere else. They should be ashamed of theirselves for doing that to a band that comes to play a show just for them and in return they get bacon and stuff thrown on them. I think whoever was there and disrespected MCR should all just go to hell. This just pissed me off so much to hear about something like that happening to MCR. - MyChemical 8:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

This sort of music is usually labeled Scream Emo Crap Rock. If Sunny Day Real Estate is labeled emo, then it is lame to give a shitty band like MCR the same genre title. It is refreshing that someone had the guts to throw a bottle at these no talent ass clowns.
I could have sworn there was a topic already about this, but I went through the archive and couldn't find it. Is the "Fanfiction" information necessary? I don't think it is. I'm wondering what the argument is on keeping it. Perhaps it could be limited to a link to the fanfiction page stating that there is fanfiction written about them and not all the fans approve. I think that states it pretty well if it must be mentioned.-- Jude 15:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and changed the infobox and created a Genre disputes and influences section linking from it. Please do some research and add more subgenres the band has been labelled/have labelled themselves or more influences the band has cited, as well as adding some citations to the subgenres currently there. Thanks. -- Switch 05:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, this is really stupid, but I feel I just need to get it out, here's my idea on how to solve this genre dispute. So, a lot of people have thought that MCR are basically a separate genre of music or whatever, so maybe that can become official. All someone needs to do is, if anyone knows MCR or can contact them, maybe through myspace or whatever, then they need to tell MCR to say on their myspace or somewhere that would be considered official that they are whatever genre name someone thinks up. I was thinking of "chemical rock". Sounds cool, so yea. Then we can have a source of the genre and that would basically be their genre and we could also make an article for whatever genre they decide to call themselves. Weird, I know, but it's not any weirder than I am. :) íslenskur fel lib ylur #12 (samtal) 02:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Well in some magazines I've read recently, like Alternative Press, Guitar World, and one other one I forget the name of, they really don't care what they are considered by the scene. So, people can just have their personal opinions on what they think the band is considered. -- MyChemical 19:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
When it comes to genre disputes, my philosophy is to list the overarching genre that everyone can agree on. We can all agree My Chemical Romance is a "rock" band, right? Then simply list " rock" in the infobox. The particular subgenres that may or may no apply are of lesser importance in the greater picture. "Rock" or "alternative rock" has instant recognition value for people who may not know much about music. Remember, the goal is not necessarily to be specific, but to give the casual reader context for a clear understanding. WesleyDodds 22:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Why do people even care about what genre MCR is considered? It should be simple, either you like their music or not. It shouldn't matter what genre they are because, they doesn't help with anything. -- MyChemical 03:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
The "genre" argument has been tedious enough without now proclaiming MCR have invented some new kind of genre! Christ, they're good, but to say they've come up with a brand new sound is pushing it just a bit. Also, the suggestion that we ask MCR what genre they want on the listing is possibly just as insane - it's an encyclopedia not a press release! Why don't we ask Saddam Hussein how he wants to be described on his entry!?
As mentioned above, and several times previous, they are clearly a "Rock" band, and that is more than sufficent. ??:??, ?? November 2006 (UTC)
I think they're just a huge mix of genres, such as post-hardcore, punk rock, alternative rock and emo. MCR definitely can't be categorized as just one genre. 15:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
i've heard them called chemical rock. no clue where, and i think someone made it up. but if we could make up a genre, why not that? Emopunk 22:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

You guys have to be joking. My Chemical Romance sounds exactly like fallout boy, taking back sunday, my american heart, panic at the disco, rise against, hoobastank, glassjaw, something corporate and every other screamo generic emo rock band I can think of..it's the same lame formula, same stupid haircuts, same exact bad vocals. Saves the day already coined the crap as emo and now there are 500 other bands who sound exactly the same and My Chemical Romance is number 432. If you like this band, you are happy because there are now millions of songs that all fit in the same catergory. I don't know what is worse Limp Biscut Rap Rock or this generic screamo, but they both terribly suck.
Okay, I only edited it on the actual Mikey Way page, but let it be known here. Mikey DID NOT learn bass in order to be in MCR. If you've seen Life on the Murder Scene then you should note that Mikey said "Since a young age I [he] wanted to make music that effected peoples lives". It is also stated that Mikey was in several bands before MCR, even one with Gerard, and was playing bass.
So can we bear this in mind? In the booklet of bullets gerard thanks mikey for becoming a bass player.
Have MCR acknowledged that the occurrence of 'Used' in their music video is a nod to the band of the same name, rather than mere coincidence? Since it is a pretty common word, I think it should be noted that its appearing in the video is probably just coincidental. In fact, I have to question whether it has any real significance at all and whether it shouldn't just be removed altogether. -- Owain loft 20:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything else about the fallout? I've heard several reasons. One was because supposedly My Chemical Romance used The Used to get famous and once My Chem did become famous it got to there head. Then I've also heard that it is because Gerard wanted to stop drinking and such and it pissed Bert off. Does anyone know ANYTHING about it please e-mail me. gerard_way3057@yahoo.com or x_paper_fantasiesx@hotmail.com
Well if you had of read the article it states that their fallout was due to the addition of "Under Pressure" to the Used CD... Kokiri kid 00:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Does this section need to be here? It's not as if fan fiction only applies to MCR. I don't see that it adds any necessary info for an encyclopedia entry.
Ah right, my bad! Still, it was not resolved. I don't think it has any relevence here - saying that there is fan fiction about the band is probably a given, lots of other bands have it. We don't have a section about how people have written MCr, or have made websites about MCR or have drawings of MCR, etc, etc.-- Mike Infinitum 12:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
This section probably needs a cleanup, however, I would like to ask a few things for sources because if they are not sourced I will remove them since they contradict themselves or seem like nonsense. First thing is how does the song "Disenchanted" have anything to do with The Used or former drummer Matt Pelissier? As far as I am aware the song is about the concept The Patient and I am not able to draw any parallels to anything in real life in this song. I do not see how the song could be about their former drummer or The Used, a source please if we are to keep this. Next the part where it talks about references in each of their work and states the "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" video and how it says "used" in it contradicts itself saying that it might have nothing to do with the band. Also we need a source for the part about The Used saying "chemical romance" and that it has to do with My Chemical Romance. I know it might not be likely but it could be a coincidence. If we can't find sources for this as well then I will also delete it. Those are just some quick concerns that come to mind when I look at that section. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 21:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree. It reads more like a gossip column! I'd do away with the whole thing to be honest, but if people think that The Used are such an important peice of MCR's history then keep it in, but do away with the unsourced stuff.-- Mike Infinitum 00:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
In the recent issue of AP magazine Bert McCrackin was asked about his relationship with Gerard. Bert tried to dodge the question and when asked again about Gerard he said they were now friends. The band's drummer left the used and Gerard heard they were looking for a drummer and called Bert up asking him if he could play for the band. The feud has ended between mcr and the used.

The thing I like best about the vocals is that they are similar to all my favorite bands, Taking Back sunday, AFI, Panic at the Disco, Rise against, Box Car Racer, etc. It would be sweet if the only thing the radio would play is that same type of undistinguishable vocal. I love screamo singing. It rules.

Hi, the information about the injuries of Gerard and Bob filming the "WTTBP" video are wrong, wrong, wrong. First of all, they were injured shooting "Famous Last Words." Gerard was tackled by Frankie, knocked down, and the ligaments were torn in his ankle. Bob, at the back of the set, was closest to the wall of flame. He sustained a third degree burn to the leg. Due to his lack of caring for this injury, it later developed into a staph infection. I have seen/heard this information in numerous interviews available on youtube, etc. where it is the actual band telling this information. Please fix it or remove it. True fans of the band do not like to read information that they know is incorrect. Thanks :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frizzles ( talk • contribs) 04:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

I feel the recent and future plans section has gotten too large compared to the other sections and was wondering everyones thought was on the manner. I was thinking of splitting the article into more sections however I wanted to see what everyone else thought. Maybe spilt it into Early Career, Major Career, Life on the Murder Scene (include everything for the release and pre-The Black Parade), and then The Black Parade section. Just a thought, however I feel that perhaps the article should be organized a bit better since it is a lot of information, or maybe remove some of it. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 00:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Looks much better now. However, I'd suggest that the paragraphs in Life On The Murder Scene that being with "On August 3, 2006, the band finished shooting the videos for their first two singles..." should be moved down to the Black Parade (2006) section, it just seems more relevent there. That would leave Life On.... quite short, but could be amalgamated with the previous section. Furthermore I suggest renaning that Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, just to be consistent with the rest of the biography divided by album titles. -- Mike Infinitum 12:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
OK changed it as I suggested above, but this leaves the Black Parade quite long. I would sugegst that a lot be removed from the album launch and gig, strip it down to basics. It seems to place so much emphasis on this occasion as if it were the pivitol moment in the bands career, whereas it was just a high profile gig, of which they have had many that haven't been mentioned. -- Mike Infinitum 22:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Disenchanted has not been confirmed as the third single as far as I know, so until someone can put a source, Disenchanted is not the third single. WIKI-GUY-16 19 December, 2006 (UTC)

When have they ever been referred to as the Black Parade? I know that before the album came out some people speculated that they might have changed their name, but obviously those rumors turned out to be false. I have taken it off the list of aliases, but if anyone has a valid reason to think otherwise feel free to change back. -- LadyJane 21:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Gerard sustained the torn ligaments, it was bob who was burned and developed a staph infection as a result. They say as much in their inteview on The List page on myspace.com Rob Tonge 5 January, 2007 (UTC)
I think the "Lack of Respect" section should be removed, and I'm going to do so. The title seems pretty far from NPOV, and I don't see how it relates, even if it did happen and it has a source. Definitely doesn't need a title like that if it stays. All the source says is that the woman isn't happy with MCR because of their "lack of support" when she was raped. There is nothing about respect, no huge crowd all aflutter over MCR's bad manners. So. I'm going to remove it for now. 4.91.110.118 02:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC) 70.179.69.43 21:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)I'm not sure why that section is there either... I'm sorry that she got raped, but if we're going to put in everyone's individual opinion of how their encounter with the band was, it's starting to sound like a gossip page. --Alicoutura
Ok, I think this section needs a bit of work done to it. There are a lot of sections and it's really long. Yes, it's mostly sourced but some can be taken out. I don't know, I think that maybe removing some of the nonsense is maybe the first step we can take to help make this a Good Article. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 17:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Really? Are they? The source article for this doesn't seem to justify that little fact, in my humble opinion. 210.55.130.65 00:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
When they first played some of their new songs in August 06 they introduced themselves as The Black Parade. Also, if you go to the tour section of their web site [6], it says "My Chemical Romance and The Black Parade". And Gerard has stated that The Black Parade (band) is the alter ego they created for The Black Parade many times. I think that justifies saying that they are also known as The Black Parade. Mcr616 18:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I found an error with the "Life on the Murder Scene (Summer 2006)" section. Where it talks about Gerard Way and Bob Bryar's injuries, it was, in fact, Bryar who sustained the burn and not Way. That is what caused Bryar's staph infection Squirrlliewrath 20:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I found an error under this section as well; the section talks about the DVD but then starts talking about the filming of "Famous Last Words" and the injuries Way and Bryar sustained. However, they have nothing to do with LotMS, so I was thinking of moving them to the The Black Parade section. However, because of the pictures put up all over the article, I didn't want to move them and ruin everything that was set up. So, if someone else with knowledge of how to fix it and not make it hideous (like I would) wants to fix it, or if someone tells me that if I move it nothing will happen to the pictures, then I will gladly fix it myself. And sorry this is so long, gah. --

The four pictures in a row in the 'Image' section looks pretty unprofessional, and the current photo for the article being the MCR logo is kinda dodgy.

I uploaded the Image:Mcr press2.jpg in its original form because it was a landscape type photo, but that causes the band members to appear all small (which defeats the purpose of having the picture anyways).

I think My Chemical Romance should be classified as "emo" on their genre thingy.
I have shrunk down the section and have moved some stuff around for this section. It is getting quite large and out of hand. Yes, the band may be criticized but why not add some throughout the article instead of having it all in one section? Isn't this a NPOV issue as well? If shrinking the section down is not the answer, then perhaps another solution can be discussed? I feel there is an issue when the criticism section has 4 sections and the main article is only 4 as well. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 22:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with your edit. It was fine before, and no one except you had a problem with this. Look at other bands pages, it is common to have these types of sections, the green day page come to mind as one. I'll get into this more tomorrow. Keep in mind this is one of the most criticsized groups in music today, so the size of the section may be appropriate. Hoponpop69 06:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
