3 My Chemical Romance My Chemical Romance is an American rock band from Jersey City, New Jersey, active from 2001 to 2013, and again from 2019 to present day. For much of their career, the band consisted of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way, and drummer Bob Bryar.

My Chemical Romance has saved me in more ways than one and there are many more people who can say that same thing. As a group, they are not solely focused on how popular they are on the radio or how many hits they got on a new single, they put out music that they've put heart into and the band members have said themselves, they are a band who wants to save your life.

Forever a Killjoy

This band is the reason I'm still here. They've helped me through the best of times, and the worst. I wouldn't be here without them. I'm a Killjoy in the MCR my for life, and I honestly don't care which band wins, because MCR will always be the best band in the world to me.

So absolutely amazing! You can count me into the number of people whose lives these amazing people have saved. Without them, and just a couple other things right now, I wouldn't be typing this.

Don't know them? NO WAY! "Welcome to the Black Parade" in my opinion, is the only song that is actually foremost in the history of music.

They don't have an exact genre. They normally do rock but I've heard some songs by them that don't fit the genre.
Their lyrics are meaningful.
"If I told you what I was/ would you turn your back on me? / and if I seemed dangerous/ would you be scared? " And then later in the song "I'm only a man with a candle to guide me/ I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me/ a monster, a monster, I've turned into a monster" - Monster
"It's who we are/ doesn't matter if we've gone too far/ doesn't matter if its all okay/ doesn't matter if its not our day" - who we are
"With our backs to the wall/ darkness will fall/ we never quite thought we could lose it all" - Ready Aim Fire
And they have a song for every mood. Radioactive is one of their most popular songs and it's very... Angry/determined sounding.
I bet my life is regretful.
On top of the world is pure happiness there's no other description.
Their songs all have morals.
