Matt Pelissier is an American drummer and producer, and one of the co-founders of the rock band My Chemical Romance.
Early Life
Career
Pelissier founded the band My Chemical Romance with Gerard Way in 2001[2], just after the September 11 attacks. He was an "old friend" of Gerard Way's, and had drummed in a number of local bands. Way played him a rudimentary version of "Skylines and Turnstiles" that he had recorded at home; Pelissier was impressed, and agreed to help Way by laying down some drums on a proper demo. Way and Pelissier soon recruited guitarist and mutual friend Ray Toro to the band. Like Pelissier, Toro had been a member of Kearny punk band The Rodneys[3][4][5].
With the band's full outfit of Way on vocals, his brother Mikey Way on bass, and two guitarists Toro and Frank Iero, Pelissier recorded the band's first album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in his basement, and later their second album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. After the launch of the second album in 2004, band manager Brian Schecter asked Pelissier to leave the band. The band did not disclose why they had asked him to leave. However, he has been accused of burning the band's first van that Gerard's grandmother had bought them, among other things.
In the summer of 2006, Matt Pelissier and George Collazo formed Strong Arm Studios, a recording studio located in Harrison, New Jersey[6][7].
Personal Life
According to Alternative Press, Pelissier began working as a mechanic in New Jersey after leaving. He was replaced by Bob Bryar as drummer of My Chemical Romance[8]. He currently lives with his girlfriend, Mia, in New York.
