One of my hobbies - music. Music is
the source of good mood for me. My favorite
rock band – My Chemical Romance.
Слайд 3
My Chemical Romance was an American rock band
from New Jersey, formed in 2001. The band consisted
of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way and drummer Bob Bryar.
The band was formed by front-man Gerard Way soon after the September 11 attacks. Witnessing the World Trade Center towers fall influenced Way's life to the extent that he decided to start a band. Guitarist Ray Toro climbed aboard soon after, and the quintet's ranks solidified with the addition of bassist Mikey Way (Gerard's younger brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With their lineup in place, the bandmates began touring and making plans for an album.

The following year, they released "Three Cheers for
Sweet Revenge", a platinum-selling album that featured cover art
by Way himself.

My Chemical Romance issued the conceptual, highly ambitious
effort "The Black Parade" in October 2006.

After the rigorous touring for The Black Parade,
the band took time out to decompress, especially the
brothers Way, who both went through a number of changes, with Mikey dealing with anxiety issues related to touring and Gerard becoming a new father. With all of this happening in their personal lives, the band felt it was time for a change in their professional lives as well. When they returned to the studio, they decided to eschew their gothic image in favor of something fresh and new, replacing the darkness of their previous albums with a newfound exuberance and in 2010 released "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys".

The band's final release was a series of
five 7 singles entitled "Conventional Weapons", released between October
2012 and February 2013, which collected the unreleased songs they had recorded during the sessions for Danger Days. Shortly thereafter, they announced they were disbanding, on March 22, 2013. Almost exactly a year later, they announced the release of a posthumous best-of compilation entitled «May Death Never Stop You: The Greatest Hits 2001–2013», which Way described as their "epitaph." It featured songs from all four of their studio albums, as well as three demos and their final finished studio track, «Fake Your Death».

My Chemical Romance's general style has been categorized
as alternative rock,post-hardcore, punk rock, pop punk and, most
controversially, emo. The band's official website describes their music as simply "rock" or "violent, dangerous pop". Gerard Way has publicly rejected the term "emo".

My Chemical Romance may have split, but the
band still has a ton of fans and for
good reason. Some of them know every little detail about the band and very little will surprise them. More casual fans will love these fun facts about this eclectic and talented group of guys. If the not so fun fact that they are not playing together anymore upsets you, just remember you can still see them separately "anytime you want."
