My Chemical Romance - Biography

07-07-2006 20:43 | 12 reaction(s) | add reply
Based in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance got started in the early 2000s, when lead singer Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier decided to try writing some songs together. The first tune that Way and Pelissier came up with was called "Skylines and Turnstiles". Way and Pelissier both felt good about the song, and Way asked guitarist Ray Toro if he would be interested in working with them. My Chemical Romance's five-man lineup was complete when Way, Pelissier, and Toro joined forces with bassist Mikey Way (Gerard Way's brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With that lineup in place, the band started playing all around the Northeast Corridor and made plans to begin working on its first album. In 2002, Eyeball Records (the New York-based indie that Thursday had recorded for) released My Chemical Romance's debut album, "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love". The album was often compared to Thursday -- a comparison that, for various reasons, was inevitable and unavoidable. But Thursday isn't their only influence; reviewers have cited the Smiths, Morrissey, the Cure, and the Misfits as influences.
After the release of their second album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" in 2004, Pelissier was dropped from the band and so Bob Bryar was introduced as the new drummer, whom they had met while touring with Utah band The Used.

It's really disatisfying that Ray Toro is being referred to as Toto.
