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)

Bullets was Eyeball Records, Revenge and The Black Parade are Reprise Records. 24.222.102.218 19:33, 8 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.

Link

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...

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)

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

MCR WORKS ON NEW ALBUM

Link

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. Bsroiaadn^Talk 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)

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)

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)
