My favorite song by mychemical romance is Welcome to the black day parade. Everytime I hear this song it brings me to tears almost. I jus love this song so much I have no words. My Chemical Romance is often abbreviated as MCR. MCR signed a reprise records the nex year and released their major label debut Three Chhhers for sweet revenge in 2004; the album was a commercial success, and was awarded platium status a little over a year later.

Front-man Gerard Way and Matt Pelissier formed a band after the September 11 attack. With witnessing the world trade center towers fall. Way's life to the extent that he decided to start a band. Way wrote the song "Skylines and Turnstiles" to express the feelings that he had after the September 11,2001 attack. Shortly after Way wrote the song Ray Toro was recurtied because Way could NOT sing and play bass at the same time. Mikey Way suggest the name of the band after a intreging title of a book that he had saw at work when he worked at Barnes and Nobels. The book was written by Irvine Welse called Three tales of Chemical Romance.After hearing the demo and dropping out of college, Mikey Way decided to join the band. While with Eyeball Records, the band met Frank Iero, the lead vocalist and guitarist for Pencey Prep. Following Pencey Prep's split in 2002, Iero became a member of My Chemical Romance, just days prior to the recording of the band's debut album.They recorded their debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, just three months after the formation of the band and released it in 2002 through Eyeball Records. The album was produced by Thursday frontman Geoff Rickley after the band became friends with him while playing shows in New Jersey. Iero played guitar on two of the tracks, one of which was "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville." During this time, the band was booked at the infamous venue, Big Daddy's, where they began to receive more attention.

My Chemical Romance started recording their third studio album on April 10, 2006 with Rob Cavallo, producer of many of Green Day's albums.It was originally thought to be titled The Rise and Fall of My Chemical Romance (in reference to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie), but in an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Gerard Way suggested this was just the album's working title, stating "It was never the title of the album, more a spoof, or joke."

On August 3, 2006, the band completed shooting the videos for their first two singles from the album, "Welcome to the Black Parade" and although not released until January 2007, "Famous Last Words".The "Famous Last Words" video was directed by Sam Bayer, director of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Green Day's American Idiot videos.During filming for the second video, band members Gerard Way and Bob Bryar were injured. Way suffered torn ligaments in his ankle, and Bryar a burn to the leg which caused a severe staph infection that needed constant monitoring in hospital.[citation needed] Consequently, the band was forced to cancel a few tour dates. While these injuries were reported by several news agencies to have been the result of a car accident, a statement released by the band on their website and MySpace page confirmed that these injuries occurred on the set of the video.
