My Chemical Romance Depicted as Sex Icons
Fan fiction about My Chemical Romance has become common on online fansites including LiveJournal Groups, fan fiction sites, and Quizilla carrying stories often about the band members having some connection with the underworld.

My Chemical Romance (MCR) is an American rock band whose members hail from Belleville and Kearny, New Jersey, except drummer Bob Bryar, who is from Chicago, Illinois. The band consists of Gerard Way (lead vocals), Mikey Way (bass), Bob Bryar (drums), Frank Iero (rhythm guitar) and Ray Toro (lead guitar).

Bassist Mikey Way coined the band's name from a book entitled Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance, by Irvine Welsh.

Fan fiction sites? stories promote the band as sex symbols mostly depicted on My Chemical Romance wallpaper. These stories usually portray the band having sexual relations, or relations in general, with either original characters, bandmates, or other celebrities, most often The Used in My Chemical Romance lounge pants.

However, some fans feel these stories were inappropriate saying the members of My Chemical Romance do not deserve to be treated like 'sex icons', and do deserve to be treated like normal people, because that's what they are."

Much of My Chemical Romance's music, including My Chemical Romance black parade lyrics, is 'horror film' based, and their photos and art are rather bloody. Due to this, MCR are often criticized for their appearance being emo.

The band?s eccentric appearance subjected the band members to various criticisms, one of which from the British Indie Rock band Kasabian labeling them "clowns" and "emo kids" who "don't have anything positive to say" and "should get out more and try and have a good time instead."

The band formed in late 2001, after the September 11 attacks compelled the introverted, then-24-year-old Gerard Way to reevaluate his life of drawing unpublished comics in his parents? basement. Taking inspiration from the punk shows put on by his friends in the band Thursday, he wrote one song (?Skylines and Turnstiles?) and declared himself the leader of a band that would serve as his ultimate escape: from shyness, from his cul-de-sac life, from Jersey.

Younger brother Mikey ? then a hard-partying extrovert who had always dreamed of rock stardom, despite no musical training ? and guitarist Ray Toro (who had bonded with Gerard over Star Wars and heavy metal riffs) were the first recruits.

Guitarist Frank Iero, the youngest and most extravagantly tattooed member my Chemical Romance frank pics, joined later. ?I knew Gerard as the comic-book artist, as Mikey?s creepy older brother,? Iero tells me at the Tick Tock over an egg-and-cheese sandwich.

Offstage, the young band was still the same group of comic-book-collecting misfits my Chemical Romance teenagers that kept entirely to themselves. But onstage, Gerard was a leather-jacketed madman who would scream profanities at the crowd and wave his middle finger like a baton.

To overcome his inhibitions against his perceived tough world, Gerard resorted to alcohol ? and later, in cocaine ? and hid his un-rockstar face behind layers of makeup and a mop of greasy hair, while hiding his personal demons in lyrics that focused on actual demons: vampires, blood-spattered lovers trekking through hell and other outlandish conceits music by My Chemical Romance on msn.

The group released its third studio album The Black Parade on October 17, 2006, in Puerto Rico, October 19 in Ireland, on October 20 in Germany, internationally on October 23, October 24 in the United States and in Australia on October 28.

Like the band's first two albums, black parade chemical romance is a concept album, centering around a character known as "the Patient."

In an interview with MTV, my Chemical Romance and black parade said that the name was chosen due to a belief that death comes to individuals as their most powerful memory.

My Chemical Romance the back parade debuted at #2 on the UK album chart, and #2 on the US Billboard, selling 240,000 copies, losing the top spot to Disney's Hannah Montana Soundtrack, but far surpassing the 38,000 first week sales of previous album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.

My Chemical Romance my black porade debuted at #3 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart, going Gold (35,000+ copies shipped), and staying atop the chart in New Zealand and being certified Platinum there, for shipments of over 15,000.

Carry on My Chemical Romance.
