The Gossip critica a MCR,
Bueno yo supe que le hicieron una entrevista a The Gossip en NME
pero lo que me encuentro en una página de MCR en brasil es que parece ser que The Gossip hizó criticas acerca de MCR en alguna revista americana (les suena NME) pero no estoy segura.. alguien tiene los scans para confirmar? (lo dudo)
Aqui dejo la new que saque de la página brasileña
Saiu uma pequena matéria na revista americana The Gossip falando sobre o My Chemical Romance.
A comentarista do The Gossip, Beth Ditto, esteve arruinando bandas que falam em suas musicas de aflições [sentimentos], incluindo o My Chemical Romance como "Atenção Afundando". Ela acredita que tais grupos estão longe da opressão e manipulam seus estatus de uma maneira à ganhar mais fãs. Ela diz: " As pessoas que se nomeiam a voz da opressão realmente não são nada. Esses tipos de banda me irrita".

La misma historia entre Warner y MCR ,
Se acuerdan del articulo donde culpaban a MCR y a otros artistas por las malas ventas de Warner ? se acuerdan?
encontramos un articulo acerca de warner donde mencionan las "malas ventas" de MCR para ellos
EMI rechaza una oferta de Warner por US$ 4.100 millones
El británico EMI Group, tercera compañìa mundial de música grabada, no aceptó un intento de toma por parte de Warner Music Group. La calificó de "demasiado baja". De todos modos, la propuesta no era vinculante.
La empresa norteamericana ofrecía 260 peniques por papel. En verdad, ello suponía una prima de 10,3% sobre el cierre del viernes 2. Por cierto, en julio ambas empresas desistieron de una compra cruzada –o sea, una fusión- por US$ 4.600 millones.
En ese momento, EMI y Warner temían que la transacción fuese bloqueada por la autoridad antimonopólica de Bruselas (la holandesa Neelie Kroes). Desde entonces, los ingresos de ambas compañías vienen cayendo, víctimas de la piratería. Aparte, Norah Jones, una estrella declinante (Robbie Williams) y una banda pasatista ("My chemical romance") venden mal.
Una empresa combinada controlarìa 25% del mercado global, quedando por encima de Sony BMG y Vivendi-Universal (matrimonios, también). En diciempre, por otra parte, un fondo de capital privado (Permira Advisers), dedicado a compras apalancadas, fracasó en la toma de EMI, porque ofrecía poco.
El actual panorama sectorial es preocupante. El mercado norteamericano (Estados Unidos-Canadá) para compactos y DVD se ha contraído 20% en 2006 y sigue haciéndolo este año. Así admitió en febrero EMI, citando estadísticas de Nielsen SoundScan. Esto no encaja con el rechazo de la nueva oferta, que varios analistas estiman elevada. Máxime luego de que el grupo inglés despidiese dos ejecutivos de la división musical, precisamente porque las ventas por fiestas habian sido un fracaso.
Warner, conducida por un hombre de asbestos (Edgar Bronfman), admitiò hace cuatro semanas que sus ventas de música grabada habían cedido 13% durante el último trimestre de 2006. Como en el otro caso, la demanda de novedades fue decepcionante: nombres como Madonna –no aporta nada nuevoi desde hace años- , James Blunt o Enya ya no seducen al público del "pop" comercial.

[Articulo] Good Charlotte opina sobre MCR ,
Preparados para lanzar su nuevo disco, Good Morning Revival, los Good Charlotte se declaran preparados para enfrentarse a las posibles críticas de la prensa.
" Recuerdo una de las primeras criticas que leí cuando salió nuestro primer disco, dijeron algo tipo que GC era una banda montada (prefabricada, entiendo) y desaparecerán mañana. En esa época, yo era muy joven y no entendí realmente lo que aquel tipo quería decir y me quedé muy fastidiado" explica Benjí Madden en entrevista a Chart Attack.
"Caramba, éramos unos jovencitos de Maryland. Apenas nos estábamos divirtiendo y de repente fuimos lanzados al mundo y los críticos solo dijeron "sus voces no son suficientemente buenas" Leches, que error cometimos?"
A pesar de no entender las críticas en sus comienzos, el guitarrista afirma que ahora piensa de otra manera y tiene otra visión de los hechos.
"Considero que es legal cuando alguien se toma un tiempo para escuchar un disco y emitir su opinión de manera educada, de lo contrario parecerá un crío de 15 años diciendo N'SYNC es una droga!!! Yo lo veo así. Yo leí ciertas cosas aquí y allí y algunas personas parece que no escuchan los discos, solo quieren odiar." comentó.
Benjí también aprovechó la oportunidad para comentar la relación de la prensa con las bandas "hypadas" (¿??) del momento.
"Cuando escucho esas bandas que todos aman o que los críticos aman, hay algunas que tienen música más experimental (esta parte no la entiendo muy bien, sorry).
Cuando veo que ciertos discos reciben buenas críticas, personalmente no lo entiendo. No creo que estemos hablando de algo tan grande (tan bueno).
Lo que My Chemical Romance ha hecho este año ha tenido más impacto en la cultura pop que lo que han hecho muchas bandas consideradas "cool". Yo escucho lo que MCR canta.
Cuando se echa un vistazo a la escena del rock actual, no ves muchas estrellas. No hay muchas personas con las que puedas asociar un estilo de música y mi hermano es una de ellas (Joel Madden, cantante de GC). Tenemos una imagen distinta, así como cuando ves a Gerard Way le reconoces" continuó.
"No se si somos una banda más pop o rock. Todo lo que podemos hacer es tocar lo que nos gusta. La persona que te está menospreciando en la escena musical, en cinco años estará conduciendo un BMW y llevando de paseos a sus hijitos. Si dejas que eso (las críticas) guíen tu carrera, acabarás decepcionado

Entrevista con Gerard Way en Disoder Magazine,
"Can you hear that? The boom of feet, the drums, the ragged howls. Dread fills your heart and over the rise, they come. Tattered flags flutter in the breeze, black confetti whips around pale faces, and the mass, from bustle bound ladies to slight, hooded teens, march relentlessly to the skeleton brass band. If you do not move, they will plough right through you, you will be beaten to the ground by the millions and left there gasping. This is the juggernaut, the unstoppable force that has become My Chemical Romance. Welcome, friend or foe, to the black parade. In 2004, My Chemical Romance had a concept album that left many scratching their heads and the band explaining relentlessly their vision that made 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge' a bloody, rhetoric masterpiece. 'The Black Parade' is an altogether different beast than its chaotic predecessor – more considered and constructed, less abrupt and venomous – and hence a change in the demeanour of its owners. Making the record badly took something out of all of them, but the hole filled with a new strength, a new confidence and an evermore sense of identity for themselves and each other. Bearing all that in mine, Gerard Way still enters the room with the natural uncertainty of a man confronted with a clutch of strangers. He bears not the swagger of the cliché rock star who's successful, loaded, fuckable and knows it, he pulls his knit hat off, ruffles his hair awkwardly and looks for someone to get the show on the road. Gerard has back to back interviews scheduled. Luckily, Way is a chatty sort of fellow and, fuelled up on the caffeine he knocks back like it's going out of fashion, can talk the hind leg off a donkey. As 'The Black Parade' stomps over the charts and having completed the first of the two UK tours to support it, there is a sense of anticlimax to today's proceedings. Read a feature that hasn't focused on Gerard now sporting the 'ooh get him, silver fox' barnet or that The BP is about The Patient? From their candid online interview two months prior to the LP's release to the countless promos since, can there be much left to talk about? Perhaps it's time to pull out the tried and trusty 'what's your favourite colour?' banter. "Right, right," he laughs, firing up a cigarette. "You find that a lot of people want the same story. I noticed that happened a lot when I got clean. That certain writers, it's almost as if they've read a certain article and said 'well, I want these answers so I'm gonna have to ask these questions'." How frightfully dull. But is it safe to ask is there any mystery left to the record? You've been particularly open over pretty much everything concerning it…. "Okay, here's the thing, Revenge was like, it just spilled out of us, you get big off that and then you're like what do you talk about? Because really I was pissed off that my grandmother had died. I was angry at the Catholic Church. I was frustrated from being ignored, I was tired of being called a faggot, I was tired of a lot of stuff, so Revenge was really like an animalistic response to a lot of shit being thrown at us, so there wasn't a lot to talk about, but this record, there's so much to talk about because we had to now look internally for the answers. "There was no tragic event, no great disturbance, we simply had to examine ourselves, we had to pull out our fucking insides and look how gross they were and how ugly we were. Then these amazing songs and this amazing story came out of it, and so we have a lot to talk about," he pauses to catch his breath, "and we have Liza Minnelli on the record…" Who pledged her vocal services on 'Mama' for free and who also, coincidentally, used to publicly refer to her famous mother in not the all-American manner of 'Mom' but 'Mama'. Indeed. 'Mama' is perhaps the track upon which, musically, BP hangs its top hat on. It's not a case of the remainder paling into insignificance, but this 4.39 minute epic pushing the envelope; from the maniacal slashing guitars and Gerard's sneering, screaming 'mama mama', to the rollicking French sea-shanty outro and broken sobbing of close, this is the biggest of the rollercoasters, but not alone in its ambitions, which are, with the band's desire for theatricality, hardly subtle. "It's still a bombastic and over the top," he grins, making a glaring understatement, "it's not as reckless I guess. Here's the thing, like having cleaned my act up…" He pulls a face. "I hate to use the phrase, 'I've cleaned my act up'… (but) I nothing to be addicted to anymore except cigarettes and coffee, so I got addicted to intensity, like, just staring over the fucking edge on the top of a building type intensity. And it was almost like I would create it whenever we could have it and I think those moments are more akin to our first album…" A change from earlier albums that appears, though, is in Way's lyrics: reigning in previous tendencies to cram a lot into a little and paring down into a more pop music like structure has given him the chance to inhabit his lyrics fully. The result is his voice has more texture and flexibility, songs wrap around you rather than knock you about the head and, such is the clarity of delivery, there's no need to hang onto the lyrics sheet. Gerard does, however, show himself to be cyclical of mind concerning imagery. In 2004 he said the original idea for the 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)' video was "a Ferris Bueller type parade. With blood." Déjà vu, no? The 'three cheers' refrain pops up in 'Sleep', vampires still haunt his lines and instead of doing push ups in drag, he doing resignation ('The End.'). And there's litter matter of dissecting life and death but despite tackling such serious issues, there is a clear avoidance of the most mysterious of all, the question of life after death. Death may pick you up on a bang ass parade, but were does it drop you off? Quite frankly, Gerard Way has a pet hate of the two killer dinner party topics – religion and politics. Pinning him down proves tricky. "I do believe in ghosts, but I'm also a skeptic," he says with the faintest curl of his lip. "I like to think that there's gotta be something or it doesn't make any sense. Or are we just biology, like did we grow from tadpoles or seaweed? But where does that come from? I believe in evolution." This would be, according to the bible bashers, invalidating God. "I don't know," he muses, then firmly shakes his head. "No, you can believe in God. Let's say it all came from a piece of sand, then who made the sand? It's the chicken and egg bullshit, but here's the thing about me, in order to do what I do, I have to have faith." To write what you write, it's surely not a faith in a higher being but a faith in the human condition; that you live, you grow, you journey and die, not about whether you become a ghost or just rot in the ground. It kind of ignores religion in the end. He nods, "Right, it's like even when we speak of things like ghosts or vampires or fantastical gunfights, it's still in the realm of the human condition, it's still a metaphor for it. You're very right, the songs have always been a study of humanity, like 'Ghost Of You' is not about war, the video is not even about war, it's about humanity, which is why we don't talk about politics because we're more interested in how people treat each other." Such is the duality of MCR; there's a danger of looking at it all too deeply and disappearing into the depths of serious navel gazing, but they've always had the knack of writing joyously rampant music to create balance, and none was needed more so than on recording 'The Black Parade'. "I find out music exuberant and full of life, but yeah there was a moment when we were writing this record and it got extremely dark," he admits, leaning forward, twisting his fingers. "We were at this house (Paramour Mansion Studios) and it was fucking old, it was haunted. It was actually detrimental, we got what we wanted but we became alienated, isolated, paranoid, crazy, anti-social, locking ourselves in our rooms… then this one song, 'Famous Last Words', was that beam of sunlight and was like the redemption we needed to make this record. "After writing that, if it made you laugh, cry, if it got a reaction out of you it was good to put on the record. There were things that literally made us die laughing, like on 'Blood' it says, 'the doctors and the nurses the adore me so, but it's really quite alarming 'cos I'm such an awful fuck', and then there's this little British voice that goes, oh thank you, and it's Christ insane to put on a record but that's the stuff we put on. Like there's an arbitrary 'fuck' on '…Disappear', I just got so intense, I just went FUCK! And it's on the record," he laughs. Arbitrary fuck-ing aside (said blaspheming clocks in at 2.57, pop pickers), the process of writing and recording was such that around the time of being in The Paramour, the idea of developing an alter ego for the band was taking hold and later became a full blown desire. "During tracking was when I realised, wait a minute, we're playing other characters," Gerard elaborates. "We had to become a new band in order to make this record anyway and we had to be there for each other in whole new ways, so I think the musical evolution really lead us to a physical evolution. "We needed something physical to represent the Black Parade 'cos we can't bring a parade with us everywhere, so I said, 'what is it? Is it a band? This band is called the Black Parade obviously, but what are they like? What do they do? I was like, they're probably kind of pricks," he giggles. "but I pictured this band from another place, another time, like they didn't get things like TV or cell phones, they had no idea what a DVD was, and I think that came out of our constant desire to live in a bubble." While UK audiences will have to wait until March to get a look at what the fertile imagination of MCR has cooked up, Gerard is finding it "interesting to see what it's going to be like living as The Black Parade." He looks over, both wistful and sly, a gleam in his eyes. "I love the band name so much though, I wish we could change it (MCR). I love The Black Parade, it's so menacing," he confides in a low tone. No, it's like Black Sabbath. He leans back into the couch and cackles. For someone whose face is everywhere Way is seemingly oblivious to the fact that he and his bandmates are pinned to walls worldwide. Send him down the street unaccompanied and he'd end up flat as a pancake under the scrum, yet he looks embarrassed when reliving the moment his hair caused uproar. Yes, that's hair we're talking about. Since Disorder's first MCR interview though, Gerard has, well, blossomed and exudes a certain magnetism that comes with that whole pesky rock star territory, but when you consider he fetches his own coffee, isn't PR protected during interviews, and his leather jacket has starred in so many shoots it needs its own assistant, it dawns on you that, at least here and now, he's really not that bothered by the trappings afforded to him. Still the fickle finger of fame has well and truly been pointed at Gerard Arthur Way, so how's it feel to be you, caught in the glorious spotlight? "I think," he ponder, biting his lip, "ultimately, no matter what, it's going to change you, but hopefully it just makes you a little more guarded. I've kept the same three best friends and my only real true, true friends and those are the people that remind me consistently, and," he says deadpan, "not 'cos I pay them, that I have not changed. The fame didn't give me a sense of identity, I think the journey of the band gave me a sense of identity, the other stuff is just kind of rubbish. I feel the same, but I'm more confident." Oft credited for giving a voice to those who feel themselves outsiders, it's never been just about the music with My Chemical Romance, which earned jibes from hoary types for whom being lusted after means you ain't rock, boy. Despite Gerard insisting they've never been deemed attractive throughout their lives, there's a fair whack who beg to differ. One step further and you find yourself entering a rather strange world known as slash fiction. MCR's commonest 'victims' are Frank Iero, Gerard and Mikey Way, positioned under the catchy genres of Ferard and Waycest. See where this is going? From the films on YouTube that trace the forbidden (and fabricated) love between Frank and Gerard to the hardcore written stories that put the Way boys into some compromising positions, it's mind-boggling. And so what better than to drop Gerard, the poor bastard, right in it. Gerard, have you heard of Waycest and Ferard? He gives the barest of sighs, he smells trouble. "No." Hee hee. Well, it's all about you and Frank or you and Mikey being lovers. His eyebrows shoot up to his hairline. "Wow," he says, shocked. "Oh wow, uh yeah. Like the Ferard thing, there was that thing about Mr Spock and Captain Kirk fiction, so I guess it's just representative of having a huge cult fanbase." Yes, but they weren't related. He squirms. "Mmmmn." Just says it's a bit gross. He laughs, "Oh okay, it's definitely gross, but it's kinda funny though. I find it more funny than gross." That may be, love, but you ain't read it. "I probably won't," he grins. But then you'd be missing out on the shower scene – you, Mikey, lots of soap and, er… are you okay? Gerard, slumped on the couch, possibly with near heart failure, sits up. "Yeah, sorry. If I'm comfortable, you can get away with it. The only thing I don't talk about is my personal life and everything else is game on." Seeing as the invite to his birthday party's probably already been torn up… how is that personal life going, the one that has sent fans into paroxysms of guesswork. "It's stable. It's very stable," is all he offers, laughing, presumably at the corner he's let himself be painted into. "I work a lot, y'know," he says, making a subject changing dash for freedom. "But to me it's worth it, that's why we don't take a break. We have something to say, we don't just play songs, we're so much more than just a band." And it's doubtful anyone is going to argue with him.

[Articulo] MCR trae a la vida a The Black Parade (MTV.COM) ,
My Chemical Romance Bring The Black Parade To Life
John Norris Reports
With theatrics, explosions and just a little bit o' pyro, MCR kick off tour in New Hampshire. ttp://www.mtv.com/#/news/articles/1553131/20070223/my_chemical_romance.jhtml
MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Fellow marchers in The Black Parade: If you are like me, after being blown away last fall by the astounding musical achievement that is My Chemical Romance's latest album, you thought to yourself, 'How are they ever gonna do this live?' The record — art rock meets glam rock meets punk, with a dash of vaudeville — is chock-full of death and hospitals and cancer and soldiers and scary teenagers, and it begs for an over-the-top live show. At long last, the boys have delivered. After months of teasing us with holiday radio sets and festival dates overseas, the Parade came to life on Thursday night at the Verizon Wireless Arena here — and we actually got two bands in one. The group's set ended with a blistering half-hour set from MCR as MCR, with the Jersey boys breathing new life into the angst-filled punk songs that defined their first two records.
But for a glorious hour or so before that, the guys donned the costumes of My Chem's macabre alter ego, the Black Parade, to take us through the entire audacious album, from start to finish. Make no mistake: MCR consider the Black Parade to be a distinctly different band. "The most exciting thing about this tour is that it's the first time you're really seeing the Black Parade as a band. And yet you're never gonna get alienated because you're also gonna get My Chemical Romance." That's Gerard Way, savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned, speaking at rehearsals the day before the tour launched, clearly excited, yet admitting that fully embracing the concept of this record took some time. "I think at first we were a little scared of being the Black Parade," he continued. "It was one of those things where we had this really great idea we were really trying to implement, but we weren't ready, I guess, and we were afraid to dive into being the Black Parade all the time" .
But dive in they have, and the water's fine. Beginning with "The End." (with Gerard as "the Patient") lying on a hospital bed complete with IV — and not letting up until "Famous Last Words," the show takes you on what guitarist Frank Iero calls "a journey, that is the story of the Black Parade".
It's a ride into the London blitz/ "Mad Max" mash-up world of the album's artwork and videos, now rendered in eye-popping, arena rock size. There are gloomy cityscapes, a clock tower, distressed sheet metal, floating zeppelins — and of course those band uniforms, topped off with ghoulish white makeup. There's even an extra ghoul on board: keyboardist James Dewees (ex-Get Up Kids/Reggie and the Full Effect), who Gerard introduced as his "big brother." Somewhere the gods of great '70s rock are smiling as the Black Parade dish out explosions, fog, even pyro, bringing a nice hellish touch to "Mama." "Our first-ever pyro!" Gerard said. "And we're such jerks that we only use it once. We're just jerks. I mean, who does that? Who brings out all the pyro, pays for all that stuff, and then says, 'Yeah, we'll just use it once'?" Actually, they used it twice. But what you won't find in the show are dancers, actors or cheesy dramatic interludes. My Chem wisely chose not to go the Broadway-musical route in bringing the Parade to life, though they said that possibility was there. "The band is not trying to be anything but the band, and the music is speaking for itself," Gerard continued. "There was a point when we were making the record that we were thinking we could have all this extra stuff [on tour], but as a musician you know in your heart that that's not you." "It's a fine line between having a really good show that will be remembered," Bob Bryar opined, "and letting all that other stuff become the show. I think it's more special if we let the focus always be on us." "We're so over the top anyway that why would we want somebody else up there hamming it up?" Gerard laughed. "I'm ham enough, you know?" If so, the fans are eating it up. The crowd here responded in a classic-rock way: with devil horns, waving hands and cell phones in the air on the ballads "Cancer" and "Disenchanted".
But best of all was the fist pump: There were plenty of exhilarating, fist-in-the-air, singalong moments on Thursday. In the magnum-opus title track, hardly anyone in the arena missed a word, earning the crowd a shower of black and white confetti. In the rollicking, darkly funny "Teenagers," Gerard trained a spotlight on the crowd. And, of course, when singing along with the line "I am not afraid to keep on living" from the closing "Famous Last Words," it's hard not to put a fist in the air. It's goose-bump time, and these guys have become masters at it. MCR say that, like never before, they feel they're making an impact with The Black Parade. Or, as Frank Iero puts it, "It feels like we're part of something bigger than one individual person or group or even country — it's like this whole little movement. And that's amazing".

Entrevista con Mikey (22 Feb 07),
Entrevista buenisima y graciosa con Mikey Way el pasado dia 2 de febrero...Sin desperdicios.
aqui se las dejo http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070222/REPOSITORY/702220301/1043/48HOURS Welcome to the Black Parade My Chemical Romance, playing tonight in Manchester, talk to us about dry cleaning, brotherly love and how everyone gets a little emo sometimes Ladies and gentlemen, ready your eyeliner: New Jersey-based angst-rockers My Chemical Romance are coming to the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester tonight. Fresh off a tour through Europe, Australia and New Zealand, MCR bassist Mikey Way took a few minutes to talk about The Black Parade, the goth-rock album that has taken malls and the MySpace community by storm. Call MCR theatrical, call them over the top - but please, Way said, just don't call them emo. Concord Monitor: You're calling me in New Hampshire. We're going to be your first stop in the States after your European tour. Have you been to New Hampshire before? Mikey Way: I don't think we've played there before. Yeah, it's our first stop in our headlining tour, so it's the first time we'll see all the production and everything. I'm pretty excited. Where are you calling from now? Australia. What do goth kids in Australia look like? You know what? Actually, they look just like the kids from the U.S. They're pretty identical. Let's get right to the important stuff. How do you guys clean your marching band uniforms while you're on the road? We dry-clean them every day, which sort of sketches me out, because I keep being afraid someone's going to steal them. You don't have duplicates? Well, we're getting some made, but they're not ready yet. So that's why I'm worried. I read an interview recently in which your brother (lead singer Gerard Way) claimed that no matter how much you guys sweat in them, the outfits never start to reek. I'm sorry, but I have to call him out on that. I just don't believe him. We catch 'em quick enough. We dry-clean them the next day, you know, so they never really have a chance to start to reek. But I can only speak for myself. Have you been surprised by the success of The Black Parade? Yeah! I was surprised at how fast it happened. I knew that people would connect to it, but I didn't think it would happen right off the bat. It's been unbelievable. I mean, I have not read a bad review of that album. Thank you so much! Yeah, I mean - I think that the people who hated it wanted to hate it, like went into it expecting to hate it. But that's what's been the good thing about this, a lot of people before this had an idea about the kind of band we were and what to expect. This album absolutely shattered all that. You left the band for a while last year while you were recording the album because of depression and anxiety. I didn't really leave the band, I just left the house where we were living. Yeah, I was having some problems. Were you worried about going back on tour? A little bit. When I first left, I was worried about how I'd be able to handle it. But then, by going through the proper channels, it all started getting better. What's the best thing about being on tour? Hearing the kids sing the new songs is probably the biggest payoff. Huge payoff. Because all the kids totally got it, and they're the real fans. They're not these fair-weather fans who just like us for one song we did, or for how we look or anything. Hearing them just respond to the music. Is it ever hard to be in a band with your older brother? Do you guys get into of that stupid brother stuff? We've always gotten along, our whole lives. We've never really fought. It's really weird. So I actually look at it as, I have an advantage over everyone else because I have a family member with me on tour. Everyone else is separated from their families. What's the stupidest question you get asked by the press? People who are still asking where our old drummer is. I mean, like five - three years ago he was kicked out. They're like, "What happened to Matt?" I'm like, "Are you joking? That was forever ago." What's the most rock 'n' roll thing you've ever done? Oh, years ago, I had so many stories. But now I'm pretty much a boring person. After a show I usually go back to the hotel. On a scale of one to 10, 10 being unspeakably anguished, how emo would you say you are on a given day? Absolutely none. I don't think any of us ever are more than anyone else. I mean, everyone in the world is a wuss sometimes. You're never safe from that. People call music that, I don't even really know what that word means. I think it's fictitious. I think it's invented by the record labels to get people to buy records, so they can pigeonhole people. I mean, to me, what we do, it's guitars, it's bass, it's drums, it's singing, it's just rock 'n' roll. Have you guys started making lots of money now? Ummm. . .(laughs) I don't know if I want to answer that question. Why? Nothing wrong with making money. Put it this way, we're doing good. We're making a living like anyone. Except unlike most people, you have matching outfits. Are you starting to get recognized on the street? That started to happen with the last record, but this one even more. Especially in Europe, they put people on pedestals there. They get really, really into it. People in the U.S. are more used to celebrities, they're too cool a lot of the time. But yeah, we get recognized, depending on where we are. If you're at a truck stop in the middle of nowhere, no one notices you. I would think at a truck stop in the middle of nowhere you'd be especially noticeable. Do you ever worry you'll be mistaken for real band kids and get picked on by high school jocks? I get mistaken sometimes for someone who looks like they want to be in my band. That's the funniest thing. Like, "You look like someone who wants to be in one of those bands." It happened to me once, I was visiting a friend of mine who worked in a mall, and this guy in the store went back to tell him, "Someone else is here to see you. He looks like he jumped out of a My Chemical Romance video." I'm like, "I'm IN My f---ing Chemical Romance!" And he was like, "Oh, sh-t, I'm so sorry." I'm like, I don't even care if you like my band. It's the last thing on my mind. That's pretty hilarious. Yeah. That's actually my favorite story. It was a real foot-in-mouth situation. Be honest with me. How long does it take Gerard to put on his makeup before a show? Not really long. It takes him like 10, 15 minutes. He doesn't wear as much as he used to. So not that long. Do you have any pre-show rituals? Yeah, I have a lot! We're really superstitious. We're a really superstitious band. We give each other high fives before we play, and I have to connect with everyone's hand, and if I don't, if I botch a high-five, I'm like, yeah, then we're gonna ruin the set. Some of the guys do jumping jacks. (Drummer) Bob (Bryar) does stretches. Who gets all the girls in your band? Well, nobody's single anymore. Actually, Gerard's single now. So, in theory, he would get all the chicks. He's not really into that, though. Jay-Z name-checks MCR in a song on his new album. Yeah! That's so bizarre! Check this out, I got an e-mail from (Fall Out Boy bassist) Pete Wentz, he goes, "Jay-Z just name-checked you!" I go, "No way!" He says, "Yeah, download this song right now." And I did, and I couldn't believe it. He says it twice! My Chemical Romance and the Black Parade! I mean, it was so surreal. He's my favorite rapper, so it's super, super ironic. It's weird, a lot of rappers like our band. The Game likes our band. He's one of my friend's neighbors, and he's been over at the house before and I've met him. And I know Lil' Jon likes our band, he came back to a hotel party once after a show and hung out! I love how you tried to tell me a minute ago that you don't do anything interesting after shows. Well, once in a while something like that happens. What does Lil' Jon like about the music? He just said he liked our CD, he didn't say anything too specific. And The Game, he just said he liked our videos. What advice do you have for Bowie-worshiping, aspiring glam-rocker kids in high school? I think what you would tell them is, the people who get picked on and have a hard time in high school are the ones who will eventually succeed and make money and have the important jobs. And the people who are the most popular usually end up boring and doing nothing. You learn that after high school. You know, high school, it's pretty bad. People are picking on you, you're not happy, you think life's always gonna be like this. I'd want to tell them, it won't always be like that. Everyone I know from high school who was like that are the people making like $80,000 a year now. I'd say to them, don't do anything to try to fit in. Go with what you like, what turns you on. I just have one more question. Are you okay? Oh, I'm great! Promise? Yeah, I - oh. Are you referring to the song? Yes. (Laughs) That's the other question people used to ask us a lot. I mean, not that I don't like it, but it's funny. Yeah, I'm pretty much okay.

Entrevista a MCR en una revista de Noruega.,
Aqui les traigo una entrevista hecha a MCR en una revista de Noruega
.::scan::.
Dark, strange and dagerous. That's how other bands like The Killers and Kasabian has described My Chemical Romance. The english newspaper, The daily mirror, says that they're making kids hurt them self.. Sounds like really dangerous guys, but Impoc magazine took a sneak peak behind the scenes and talked to Ray, Frank and Mikey, who all showed up to be really good guys. All they really want to do is to sit home and read cartoons. My Chemical Romance is out with their latest album: The black parade, which has allready sold over 11 millions around the world.. (it's from November). You recorded your first albun in nine days. Did you work this fast this time? Ray: No, not at all. This time it tok over 6 months, but what's was really awsome, was that this time we colud work with the songs to they were truely finnished. Some of 'em didn't fit into the album, and they are on the B-side. We didn't do that with the two other albums. Mikey: Our first album, it was 10 songs. That was all we had that time. We wrote the songs while we recorded them, and all came in the album. I've heard that you read a lot of cartoons when you were younger.. Frank: We still do. We havn't grown up yet.. hehe.. Do you get some insperation from the cartoons? Mikey: I think that all your experience gives you inspiration. People you meet, what yot read or even what you see at tv. Everything affects you and the music. Even this cup of coffee.. maybe it also gives a kind of inspiration? What is your favorite cartoons then? Mikey: I like "The Punisher". "Fabler" is really good too. You went on tour with Green Day for a while, and now you've used theirs producer, Rob Cavallo, to your own album. Do you have a secret plan of get Green Day out of the spot light and take the place yourself? Ray: Oh shit, you got us! No, it was actually under the tour we got to know that he wanted to work with us. The guys in Green Day thought we were a cool band, and told Rob that he should work with us. Frank: Exactly, and we read it in a mag ourself. The journalist asked Rob which band he wanted to work with, and he answerd My Chemical Romance. We had thought of him earlier. He prosuced the "Jawbreakers" album, "dear you" and that's just amazing! It was their first album, and it was Rob that made them known! When we read that he wanted to work with us, we didn't belive it. It was the best thing that's happend to us! Have you ever heard about/seen any norwegian band? Ray: Norwegian bands? No, not exactly. Death metal, that's tha only thing I know avout Norway. You're from New Jersey. Bon Jovi're also from there and have also recorded a album named "New Jersey". Do you think the album is worthful to be from your hometown? Ray: Haha.. Yes, abselutly. Bon Jovi is the superhero at home. Bruce Springsteen too. If you don't like Springsteen and Bon Jovi when you're a kid, you'll get locked inside a closet. Is it true? Who did that? Frank: My parents. They are giant Sprigsteen fans. They took the speekers against the door and turned the volume to max and played album after album. It started to bleed out of my ears. Ray: It's actually not allowe to not like Bon Jovi and Springsteen in New Jersey. It's true! It's like drive to fast with your car. Frank: Exactly. And now I love 'em. Tha album "Nebraske" is a wonderful album! What kind of music do you like, besides of Jovi and Sprigsteen? Which tree albums would you take with you on a desert island? Mikey: I would have taken.. "OK computer with Radiohead", "the Queen is dead with The Smiths" and ""Blurs, The great escape". Frank: It would have to be.. "the Sergeant Pepper album with the Beatles", "Nirvanas in utero" and "Enter the 36 Chambers with Wu-tang clan". Ray: I'll take "Pink Floyd - the wall" and... Frank: Hey, that's a double albun, that means he's only to choose one more, right? That's true, sorry.. Ray: Fuck it, then it'll be "Pink Floyd - the wall" and "Riel Alex'".. that'll be mine choises.. You're touring very much and spends then really much time in the tour bus.. Do you have some funny stories from the life on the road? Mikey: You'll get dissapointed.. but we ain't a band that gatheres up stories like that.. We don't fight.. we're actually very kind small boys =).. Ray: BUT.. I can tell you about our first tour to europe!.. We were suppose to get a tourbus with our own driver and all, but somthing went wrong, and we ended up spending the whole tour in a van. AND the only ones that could drive was the old drummer and the tourleeder.. It was horrible! We almost sat on each others in the back, and everyone went sick, couse noen of us had ever been to europe before.. Our phones didn't work neither, and we couldn't find a place to get this special card to them.. We coldn't even call home! Mikey: We had almost nothing! Not even money to food! Ray: That must have been the worst tour we've ever been on! The band we were touring with had (of course) a bus with two drivers and could without any troubles drive 13 hours at once.. And the whole tour was planned out of that all the bands would have a bus and driver! But we went the same trip in a van, without an extra driver.. Mikey: I still have physical scares from that tour. They'll never dissapear! Do you still use the same van? Ray: Very funny.. No, never. I would never gone inside that van again! A stone on tha pedal and down a hill, that wold be what I'd done with it! What is the best moment you've ever expirienced on a tour? Mikey: It has always been amazing to stand on a scene and play tha songs you've written at home in your basement, to thousand of kids! But it's even cooler to go to another place, a place you never thought you'd ever go to, just to see that it's many kids that loves your music there too! That feeling is not esay to beat! Ok, here comes the most importan question: Which ringtones do you have on your phones? Ray: I've got "Blue Öyster Cults - Don't fear the reaper". Mikey: "Oasis - Wonderwall". You don't have your own songs? Mikey: No.. we were all ecited when the first tones came, and we all downloaded them. But the we understood that it was stupid to go around with our own song as the ringtone, specially if everyone in the band had it! So we decided to don't..

Entrevista con Frank Iero en The Muse,
My Chemical Interview
Michelle Gajkowski Issue date: 2/15/07
Muse Stranded in L.A. with a sinus infection while his band tours Australia, My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero spoke to The Muse via conference call about his band's upcoming tour, promoting The Black Parade - an album Iero calls "an epic battle between life and death set to music." Muse: How has your approach to performing live changed? Iero: The hardest thing about playing shows now is that it is totally different connecting with 1,000 people versus 100 people. Going into an arena, with people in the rafters, it's a different mindset. It has taken a long time to perfect, and it's something we've been able to try a bunch of times. It's an incredible feeling seeing these people and looking in their eyes and having them walk away thinking not that it was a great show but an experience. We're MCR but on a larger scale. Muse: How have your fans changed over the past year? Iero: There are a lot of new faces in the crowd, which is cool. We got into music and punk rock because we didn't fit in. We weren't the cool kids at parties. We were searching for acceptance, and I found that in going to shows. Starting this band was kind of that idea-this band that didn't fit in anywhere else. The old fans have been really great at letting these new people in." http://media.www.dailyfreepress.com/media/storage/paper87/news/2007/02/15/Muse/My.Chemical.Interview-2722481.shtml
