Vandalism?
Check out Espio's da man's latest edit. Did that really happen? Anthony Rupert 16:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC) I was just wondering can u get a new pic i this mcr but u dont hav all 5 members --86.133.220.185 20:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Mikey
Didn't he go on hiatus during recording of the Black Parade? Shouldn't that also be included? icelandic hurricane #12 (talk) 21:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- I do believe it is mentioned in the Mikey Way article but I do not believe it was in here. I think perhaps this should be mentioned in here as well as in The Black Parade article as well as any other complications that happened in the recording of the album. I had removed the year from after Mikey's name in the Band members section because I felt the "on hiatus" message took care of it. He never truly left the band and Gerard stated on the main website that he is only on a break which never meant he left. I was just wondering other's peoples thoughts about the inclusion of the year 2007 after his name even though he is only on a break. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 21:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Alternative WikiProject COTW suggestions
Here's some things that are needed:
- Expand the lead section of the article per WP:LEAD
- Clean up the web citations, possibly using the Cite Web template
- Upload a few representative soundclips that adhere to fair use guidelines
- Make sure the entire article is written in American English. I saw a few instances of British english being used.
- Try to avoid recentism
Makes sure to look at other high-quality band articles to see what is expected of a GA or FA level article. Model band articles are The KLF, Pixies, The Smashing Pumpkins, Slayer, Megadeth, and Genesis (band). If anyone has any question, please post them here and we'll try our best to help out.

Error in Discography
In the Discography section, it says that The Black Parade is in Reprise records.Is it my mistake or are they currently in Universal?
They're Reprise RecordsBlkeddie! 17:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Marilyn Manson attacks MCR
Should this be included in the page? Geminivenom 03:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
No....way.... If you add why he is attacking MCR I think you should add it.TaylorLTD 02:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
What? :) Geminivenom 03:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I just read that article. I dont see how it's relevent. Lots of people don't like MCR; I don't see any need to list all of them. Crossbow1 04:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)\
Thanks then, nice try for me. :) Geminivenom 10:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I couldn't agree with Marilyn Manson more. He hit the nail right on the head.68.158.179.112 16:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Add it to the criticism section. Infact I'll do it for you. The fact that the song "Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery" pertains to this attack on MCR; a song on a Billboard top 10 album, makes it notable as would say mention of a fued between 50 Cent and The Game in their articles. - The Daddy 05:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
MCR responds to Manson
I know that when I posted the Manson-attacks-MCR thing, it was not approved by y'all. :) Now that MCR responded, maybe it'll change.
- Theres a bit in Kerrang this week with Frank Iero answering back to Manson saying that MCR were copycats becasue they wore makeup. Iero says he's heard of Alice Cooper, but anyway, I think that's more descriptive than that article. Alienpmk 07:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
close mcr
i think the mcr page should be closed...its edited way to often with wrong information and rude hate jokes on mcr...
Hmm, if I apply your logic to every other significant article in Wikipedia, there would be better off no Wikipedia. This is why we have Wikipedia, to combine everyone's knowledge to make the best and most accurate encyclopedia in the world, no matter what it takes, so if it means countless amounts of vandalism, so be it. --Iluvmesodou 10:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
My Cradle of Guns n' Roses
In their song Welcome to the black parade the beginning it star with piano, playing th exact same notes of the song of Cradle of Filth, Suicide and other Comforts. Their bride and last chorus is very alike as the last part of November's Rain from Guns n' Roses, but not as alike as with Cradle of Filth's piano part
- If it's unsourced we can't add it. Personally, I've noticed distinct similarites between "The End." and "Five Years" by David Bowie, from the landmark album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, but I haven't got a source for it. --Jamdav86 20:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've seen many similarities between the entire album and Ziggy, but I don't know whether similarities would be stupid unless spoken about by the band itself. For isntance, there is an interview that says they are aware "Teenagers" sounds quite like T Rex, but that they only found out about this after writing the song.There are other examples, for isntance del Amritri, and I think the list would be eventually endless. Alienpmk 08:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
just the first three notes, and its played slower, things like that happen all the time in muse, i dont think its copyright or anything like that it happens with all music. as for the david bowies thing, ive noticed that too. they play that song at shows before they start, know why? cuz its a huge influence, like queen and the beatles, u can hear MCR's influences in there music i think its very cool.
- The opening piano is actually an intepretation of Pachelbel's Canon. It has been used by numerous artists in numerous songs and is in no way a unique feature to any band or song in particular. In fact the entire "Welcome to the Black Parade" song is based upon Pachelbel's Canon.
- Referenced here as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_songs_based_on_classical_music scroll to the bottom. --204.16.145.253 20:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
It, may be, influenced by Pachelbel's canon, but they're DIFFERENT from it
Unblock
I think this page should be allowed to be edited!
Why? so you can say how it's gay and emo? Because it was locked because people were doing that. No offence. Zazaban 09:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
(from someone else...) I believe we should leave it to some form of authority on the staff to fix current errors. For one, MCR (see the twelfth "source" at the bottom) did NOT win worst band or villan of the year, that was George Bush, and Panic! at the disco. Would the WikiTeam please check that?
Actually, the source does not provide the information about worst band or villain of the year, that is because the information was found in an issue of kerrang! magazine. The source actually backs up the NME awards and the awards My Chemical Romance won. Blkeddie! 08:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I think it should be unblocked so actual fans can add things when they know something not posted and change things that are incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PTAMCR (talk • contribs) 21:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Genre
Some time ago I've added "Disputed subgenres" to the infobox. It got deleted by WesleyDodds. All album articles contain "Disputed subgenres" as genre so it would be consistent to put in this article as well. I think it would clarify that this band is not merely alternative rock and that they are hard to categorize. This way people might be less eager to change the genre (resulting in less genre editing/reverting). If it's not encyclopedic enough to be in the MCR article then it shouldn't be stated as genre in the album articles either. Any opinions? (In the archives there are some discussions resulting in a consensus on this... what happened with that?) Emmaneul (Talk) 22:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
If the word "disputed" is the problem we could put "Various others" like in the Queen (band) article infobox. Emmaneul (Talk) 22:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Since they call themselves "pop-punk" I think that's what they should be called (regardless of the fact that for some of us, that's an oxymoron). Crossbow1 05:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Are they also "emo"? please if you're gonna change the genre put it here, because i'll mistake it for vadalism :] Blkeddie! 06:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
It's in Disputed subgenres. I think it's a good thing the infobox is not genre laden and that a fairly generic genre is used (that's how the musical artist infobox should be used like according to Template:Infobox_musical_artist) But my point is: Shouldn't there be a reference to the "Disputed subgenres" part of the article in the infobox? I'll put it up there... Emmaneul (Talk) 07:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
They got the pop punk sound so I'm gonna add pop punk to their current genre. - Arranox
- Sorry, but just because they have the "pop punk sound" doesnt mean that is what they are. Unless you have a citation [and your opinion is not a citation] dont add it. --MCRluvr 2:46, 6 July 2007
- Hmm, well what makes any persons opinions or ideas on a bands or singers genre any different from one from a source. Just because the source defines their genre as "Alternative Rock" etc. doesnt mean they are, because the source probably believes thats what MCR "sounds" like. Blkeddie! 12:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- Not if it is coming from the band, in which they have not commented on it. So technically there shouldnt be and sub-genre's on the page. --MCRluvr 03:37, 7 July 2007

why we dont just leave it as rock?200.116.30.209 00:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, judging by some comments left throughout the talk pages and archives, we need a source that we can trust, but who's to say which websites we can trust, the band who define their music as "Rock" or "Alternative" is perfectly fine. But seriously, everyone's over dispute about MCR's genre, the links that each and every other person source us with basically say the same thing, alternative, emo, rock, pop-punk etc. So why don't you people understand that until we some how all agree on it, that the genre will probably never be sorted out. What are we going to do with the genre? Which website can we trust? Blkeddie! 01:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

MCR WORKS ON NEW ALBUM
Shocked - me. :) Include this to the page ? Geminivenom 11:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- I would suggest using this as link instead of the one you had, it wasn't working. But, yea, why not? Just remember to reference it with that link. BsroiaadnTalk 13:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Wow, it's soon, but I'm enjoying the good news, I just hope theres another source to really, truly confirm it. They're rushing, it's too fast, i hope it will get released mid next year, after the Black Parade hype, it would be two years in between every album, and i reckon that's a good thing.
I've been reading those comments underneath, and I have to say it's ... very ... negative?
A lot of people love MCR, and a lot of people hate MCR, but why do people have to criticize them, if you think their music is shit, woop-de-doo, you along with about another couple billion people.
And just so you know, about another billion believe they make good music, but you wont see many of em' commenting on articles and new information that involves them. Don't get me wrong, you will see those people, but not as many as the people who criticize them.
Their album was artistic, but Gerard does go a bit far, I forgot what he said, but it was something along the lines of "Artistically Ambitious"?
There's no need for criticism, if you don't like them, shut up and don't vandalise... unless of course you're someone important. I'm not saying you're not important, I mean important enough to be quoted from xD. Blkeddie! 14:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please, Wikipedia is not a messageboard. Keep all comments sctrictly related to the article, please. --Jamdav86 18:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

MCR WORKS ON NEW ALBUM NOT FOR A WHILE
Recently, both at the san diego comic con 2007 and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7gZ4IB7wcU&mode=related&search=
Gerard way says that they'd like to have a nice long break between the black parade until they can find something new to send out as a message... they may want to modify the "June 2007-now" section... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.70.62 (talk) 18:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Though that may be true; they may be taking a break, sources indicate that they're writing a new album. This is of note. That doesn't say how long it is until they get into the studio or release the album. As a musician, or any celebrity, your perception of a "break" can mean anything from 2 weeks off. I heard about a pop-star recently who decided to just travle, have fun and relax for 6 months after touring heavily and before stepping into the studio for her (or maybe his) next studio album, and some people literally thought he/she had died, because of no exposure. Life's different at the top, you know? lincalinca 03:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
My Chemical Romance's AKAs?
"My Chemical Romance (also known as My Chem, MCR and The Black Parade)"
My Chemical Romance isn't also known as 'The Black Parade'. I think some people got this confused when they saw the tour for MCR. If someone could change this, I think they should state that 'The Black Parade' was only used for the tour as MCR's alter-ego while they sang the whole album. They would then change everything (banners, ect.) to MCR and perform other songs from Bullets and Three Cheers. If someone could either show me proof that I'm wrong, or fix this for me, that'd be great. Thanks, Wiki! WolF Graffiti 02:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Rumor. I would take it on a grail of salt until it is confirmed by the band. And BTW please do not use this is a forum. Keeps posts about the article.--MCRluvr 2:24. 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- sorry about that, MCRluvr. that ones not me. apparently someone's new to Wiki. no new topic, no signature.
68.55.235.179 05:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Its okay, some people just take things that they read on the internet very seriously. MCRluvr 16:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- I took the others out and just left MCR, since TBP is the album name, not the band and MCRmy is their fanclub. lincalinca 03:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Action Figures
Please excuse my horrible wiki-editing for this topic, but in the "mainstream breakthough" section it would be nice if someone would add as a sidenote that the band had action figures released in December 2005 by SEG Toys. I'm horrible with sourcing so the link is: www(dot)mtv(dot)com/news/articles/1513784/20051115/my_chemical_romance.jhtml
Is it necessary for someone to say "www(dot)something(dot)net"? No offense. --Iluvmesodou 10:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Disenchanted final single?
Ill try to find the websites again but ive seen alot of pages say that Disenchanted was going to be the fourth and final single of TBP. I wish they would make a video for Dead!, but hopefully these pages are not true.
- They have already had four singles. Welcome To The bLack Parade, Famous Last Words, I Don't Love You, and Teenagers. Even though they all weren't released world-wide. Gerard said they have made fours inglre. Who knows if there will be another, and if so, what it will be.--MCRluvr 03:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism
Can somebody remove this from the article? "MCR SUCKS ASS whiney rich kids on mtv singing about how bad they got it calling it punk when its just bullshit" --84.144.94.96 11:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Biased Article
I dislike emo as a whole, but I respect my chemical romance as a band and as song writers. However, I feel the article is biased towards my chemical romance, as so much is about how amazing they are, more should be about negative/neutral views. Emoisverybad 18:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I assume your view of neutral is calling them emo? Zazaban 18:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I am not suggesting that they are called emo, I am simply suggesting that more neutral content is added, as this article is biased. Emoisverybad 18:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
How is this article biased? Zazaban 18:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Possibly due to criticism and the term "emo" used against MCR? Blkeddie! 18:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
No, this guy claims it's too "positive" about MCR. Zazaban 19:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
This article is about the band's history, where the reviews for the albums are in their respective articles. There is criticism provided as well for My Chemical Romance. If you could provide examples as to where you feel the article is biased towards My Chemical Romance then perhaps it can be looked at and changed if it is certainly biased towards the band. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 00:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
And by the way, MCR is not emo, it's fans may be, but not MCR itself. Zazaban 00:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Amen. Geminivenom 03:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Does it matter? However, this line of conversation is becoming inappropriate. --Jamdav86 19:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I changed how they are Emo
People face it, the article says they are. and the majority of the people out there say they are. Okay? The lead singer of Motorhead calls his music "rock n roll" does that mean it's not Metal? Zephead999 05:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
A majority opinion does not define a musical style. Most people think Marilyn Manson is goth, yet he's not. MCR is not emo. Zazaban 07:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry buddy but their past musical styles are heavily identical to emo music. So yes, one of their genres are emo. Even if they say they aren't NOW, they once were. or there might even be traces of emo in their music. SO look, untill MotorHead's genre gets changes to simply rock n roll then they are emo.
How are they similar to emo. I was always under the impression emo was about how awful everyday life is. MCR focuses on Concept albums that may be purceived to be emo, but really tell a story. It's more geek than emo. Zazaban 21:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Right..yeah sure now it's a concept album. But they WERE emo. Look buddy I've listened to MCR back in 2002. Don't try with me buddy, now get out of here. Zephead999 00:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Please don't get nasty. Wikipedia doesn't have a place for nasty. Yes, they are concept albums. What's more is what you're basing this on OR alone. Wait for concensus before changing this PLEASE. Zazaban 01:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Right, so what we do is we put their past genres into their lsit of genres buddy, now excuse me, i have an edit to make. Zephead999 07:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, this isn't your website. This is community website, where you're supposed to corroperate with other people, something you are currently refusing to do. Please at the very least SOURCE your edit, or they will continue to be reverted. Zazaban 15:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry but if the alternative rock genre is unsourced, then the emo genre will be unsourced as well; it's only fair. Zephead999 17:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Then let's keep it on Disputed Subgenres. The subgeneres are quite clearly disputed. You can't just come in here and change it to what you want. Emo needs to be sourced because it is in dispute, Alternative rock is not. Zazaban 18:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Now you've broken the 3 revert rule. You can only make 3 reverts on one article per day. Zazaban 18:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Zazaban just stop talking before you make yourself sound even more like an idiot than you already are. Zephead999 18:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Please be civil. I am not making myself sound like an idiot. you're being impossible to reason with. And you're completly ignoring the 3RR. Zazaban 18:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
NO you are refusing the fact that there are many traces of Emo in MCR's music. Then after I said that you wanted a source for that, since you are so blind u won't accept that face. Well again buddy unless you source how MCR are alternative rock than MCR's emo genre will remain unsourced. Zephead999 19:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Like I said, Alternative rock is not disputed while Emo is. Disputed sungenres is far more NPOV than Emo. Zazaban 19:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Please keep in mind the way the infobox is presented was decided here through community consensus (please see the rest of Archive 2 for the full arguement). Alternative rock was agreed upon as being the genre in the infobox along with a link to the "Disputed subgenres" which are listed further on into the article. While there are sources for My Chemical Romance being alternative rock and emo, the community decided to list the emo subgenre further into the article with the rest of My Chemical Romance's subgenres. All of My Chemical Romance's subgenres should have a reliable source and if not you can perhaps say which ones aren't and if a reliable source cannot be found then it should be deleted. Also, as I said there are sources for both alternative rock and emo as My Chemical Romance's genre and the bio at MTV.com lists them as alternative rock. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 19:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
My Chemical Romance is NOT emo, who care's if motorhead say they're rock n' roll? at last both motorhead and my chemical romance and emery and avenged sevenfold, and sex pistols play subgeneres of rock n' roll. maybe people like you, Zephead999 sould litsen to real emo rather than AFI and MCR, when you just follow by the clothes and hairstyles you are completly wrong just litsen to the music and compare it to the real emo and write down the differences you notes, you'll find as much as when you compare death to black metal (yes, there are many diferecenes, they're not as alike as people want) My name is wah? my name is wah? my name is wah? my name is digidigi Sheishop!!!
this argument has been run to the death. its so cliched, theres no point in even brining it up anymore. check the archives when your going to post your opinion on if their emo or not, because someone probably already said it. the next time i see a 'their soo emo, cause i say so' post, im deleting, so dont bother even putting it up unless you have new info on why they are/arent.Dizzydark 03:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I think it should be pointed out that this user was a troll who has since been blocked. No need to reply. Zazaban 21:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
LOL, and isn't this article kind of not allowed? Has the jury in the case of Zazaban vs. Zephead999 reached a verdict? --Iluvmesodou 11:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Who keeps on making the "e" in "Emo" a lowercase letter?
Stop it, finish the 1st grade then come back to me. Zephead999 20:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Emo is not a proper noun so it doesn't need to be capitalized, just like you don't capitalize "soft rock" or "heavy metal." // DecaimientoPoético 20:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- No you do capatalize those since they are the name of something. 71.182.92.118 05:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

- No you do capatalize those since they are the name of something. 71.182.92.118 05:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. It is not a proper noun. It should be in lower case, "emo".
Basically, in Wikipedia the genres aren't capitalised. Outside, probably, but not on Wikipedia. If you want that policy changed then there are better forums than this one to discuss that - perhaps WT:MOS? --Jamdav86 08:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Who knew such trivial subjects can be discussed here? I don't know about everyone, but I like to capitalize every noun I write, regardless it being Proper or Common. LOL. I'm weird, and Bucketheader's generally correct. It's too late for me. --Iluvmesodou 11:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Where's the band logo?
See headline. --84.144.125.9 14:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Could someone change this:
Under 'criticism' a line reads 'Due to the increased amount of new fans, some of the old fanbase considers the band a "sellout" and the new MCR fans "poseurs".' - can someone change this to 'posers' (as i presume it is meant to say...?) sorry, i'd do it myself as i know it's only a little thing but can't due to protection of page. it's just been bugging me. Mz.Kiedis 19:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- Done, I think...

Criticism?
I hate MCR, don't get me wrong, but it's just stupid to have a criticism section for a band.
I actually agree about this particular page, most of the "criticism" seems to be simply about certain people who don't care for the band, not actual criticism. Zazaban 19:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Actual criticism could be found on reviews - having skimmed the album reviews we have links to on the album pages. But the people who've voiced their opinions that got into the section ARE important people in the music industry. Keep for now (The Elfoid 01:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC))
Yet, it doesn't seem the be actual "criticisms," more like "people who don't care for this band." Zazaban 05:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
The third paragraph of that section, also the smallest, is about Manson...and that's the only one of the nature you described (The Elfoid 01:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC))
- Ah, what I was referring to seems to have already been removed. Zazaban 02:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Guitar Hero II
The band already had one song in guitar hero (that song being "Dead!") and with the recently released pack they now have three others. They are as follows:
1. This is How I Disappear
2. Teenagers
3. Famous Last Words
None of that above stuff is mentioned at all on the main My Chemical Romance page. It really should be added, but the thing is locked right now...
Somone deleted basicly the whole article.
I check this site almost daily,awaiting some good new MCR news. but some idiot deleted the whole biography, and copy and paisted the opening paragraph for the band. hopefully somone has all the edits and references on file, if you need anyhelp id be glad to try to restore things back to normal. im an MCR freak, i know much more than i should about these guys. sorry for any inconvenience.SourDoughx 02:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Reverts aren't difficult if that's what you think. It's no problem, happens all the time. This article actually gets LIGHT vandalism compaired to some of the crap I've seen. Page history can be accessed by anyone by clicking the "history" tab. Zazaban 06:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Fairly new are you not? :) Zazaban 06:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, as far as having an account and adding things goes.but ive visited wikipedia looking up assorted things for about a year and a half now, thanks for helping SourDoughx 22:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- No problem :) Zazaban 23:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
General Information and Biography
Has anyone noticed that the "main" article and Biography sections are verbatim? Consider eliminating one in favor of the other. Amalga 19:46, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Teenagers
Is it still on the Hot 100? icelandic hurricane #12(talk) 17:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- ... icelandic hurricane #12(talk) 20:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I figured out it dropped to 93, but now it has climbed back up to 77 as of 10/6. icelandic hurricane #12(talk) 01:23, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Projekt Revolution 8/22
I had noticed that there whole set and back drop was different. They had a wolf theme possibly hinting at House Of Wolves as the next single? The stand that Bob plays drums on said "She Loves You" and im not 100% but i think Gerard had the word "SIDNAR" written on his neck. if theres anyone that can maybe clarify what any of this means the help would be nice.SourDoughx 20:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Fan Fiction? (71.145.164.23 03:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC))
What happened to the fan fiction section? While I realize that fan fiction is not fact, or rarely verifiable it has been an important part of MCR's past. What say the throng about the prospect of a fan fiction section for this article? (71.145.164.23 03:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC))
The Bands Name
The part about the bands name is wrong it wasn't taken from a line in trainspotting. It was taken from the title of a different book by the same author. The title of that book is Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance. It says this in the Life of the murder scene DVD Diary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20sv7 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Working on new album
In the article it says they're working on a new album, but in this interview Gerard says they're not, because they want a space between the albums. Could someone fix this? Interview: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.175.86 (talk) 19:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I changed it. I removed the information completely since even though it was said before, it was now shown that is is no longer true. Orfen User Talk | Contribs 22:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
GENRE
please change every thing that states them to be anything but rock. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PTAMCR (talk • contribs) 21:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
the genre issue was resolved long ago. please check the archives before bringing it up gain. especially if you have no way to back up your information or opinion. Dizzydark 19:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Two little changes
I made two changes to the article: one, I changed the statement about Projekt Revolution dates being annuonced in May. Uh...the tour is now over, so this statement is long outdated. More importantly, I fixed the statement about a "recording hiatus". MCR did not announce a recording hiatus...they haven't recorded since last July when they were recording the Black Parade. They just said they weren't going to be working on a new album for a while. The statement and wording were just confusing. Also, the reasons given for not recording (Gerard's marriage and wanting to spend time with family) were not the correct reason - they want to focus on their current touring, and they want to take time to re-evaluate the band. The wording about "2009 being the earliest if they're lucky" is also bad...2009 isn't even that long, given the size and length of the current tour for The Black Parade. MJB12 19:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
criticism
"Numerous artists in other bands have criticised the band openly in the media" - Manson is the only example given. Please add more examples or re-phrase. 68.73.196.155 23:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Fake Band Members?
I came across two members of MCR who I dont think exsist. They are Nick Mackenzie and Jack Aylward. I googled them and didnt find any information on them on any other websites. It also says that Jack Aylward died in 1999 due to suicide. The band didnt form until 2001. Also it says that Jack Aylward was a member between 1987 to 2030. This cant be true seeming that we are living in 2007. Toby Keet 00:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
This is most likely just vandalism. I'm going to revert it. Razorblade666 01:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Homosexual Band?
someone put one of the band's influences as "Homosexual Band" it is not linked, and I believe it to be VANDALISM FuSballmehralsfutbol 23:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
It is written here that MCR will be playin at the big day out. Should there be something about this written in the Tours section of the MCR page? Drizzt Jamo 03:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
