"Be yourself, don't take anyone's shit, and never let them take you alive." - Gerard Way
Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002.
They signed with Reprise Records the next year and released their major label debut, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge", in 2004. The album was a major and surprising commercial success, selling over two million copies due in part to the success of the singles "Helena", "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", and "The Ghost of You".
The band followed this success with 2006's "The Black Parade", featuring their biggest hit "Welcome to the Black Parade". While the band defines their sound as simply "rock", the sub genre of the band's recordings has been a subject of debate among fans, non-fans, and the media.
The band's bassist, Mikey Way, is currently on hiatus from touring with the band, primarily to spend time with his new wife. Matt Cortez, a guitar technician, is temporarily filling in for him. (read more)
Listen to My Chemical Romance
With all the lies on the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
Cause they got methods
Of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

Quotes by Gerard Way
"There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. . . . But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope."
"It tastes like somebody stole my wallet. Ya know?"
"It's like the drag fairy coming and saying 'What
would you like to do?' Um, yeah karate."
"Are You On Our Side And You Want To Be Diffrent Or Are You On That Side And You Want To Throw A Football At My Head?"
"Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend!"
"I said to myself, 'Man, I'm so tired of hearing songs about peoples' ex-girlfriends. It's really nauseating. And the whole me, me, me aspect of it was just like (overdone)."
"It takes a while to tell stories, I think it's because I was drunk for three years.""
