Break Up

Imagen
My Chemical Romance — a band known for its dense, intensely strained instrumental textures, darkly poetic if often mysterious lyrics and elaborately theatrical performance style — announced its breakup on MARCH 23, 2013  evening after a 12-year career that produced four highly regarded studio albums (most notably “The Black Parade”) as well as two live discs and a handful of EPs. The reason for the sudden, unexpected split is – well, even after a 2,200-word essay, posted on TwitLonger by Gerard Way, the group’s singer, and apparently the instigator of the split, no one is quite sure. But the decision appears to be the result of a change in Mr. Way’s feelings about performing rather than any differences, creative or otherwise, among the band’s members. Mr. Way made a point of saying what the reasons were not. “I can assure you,” he wrote, “there was no divorce, argument, failure, accident, villain, or knife in the back that caused this, again this was no one’s fault, and...

Sing

Imagen
"Sing" is My Chemical Romance's fourth track and second single from their fourth and final studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. The official single artwork was posted on the band's website on October 2010. "Sing" marks the first time a song of the band has reached adult contemporary stations; it began airplay through Chicago radio station WCFS-FM by March 2011. The song was the second-best selling rock song of 2011 in the UK, ahead of Paramore's "Monster" and behind Foo Fighters' "Rope". The song debuted on BBC Radio 1 and subsequently on the band's MySpace and several other radio stations on November 3, 2010. The song was released on iTunes the same day. The song has been described as "poppy" and with a "surprising different sound than previous MCR tracks" by Wendy Rollins of Philadelphia's Radio 104.5. Dan Martin from NME reviewed the album and said the following ...

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

Imagen
"Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" is a song by American rock band My Chemical Romance. It is the second track and first single from their fourth and final studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. According to lead vocalist Gerard Way, the band had struggled with the departure of drummer Bob Bryar and was dissatisfied with the progress of the sessions for their fourth studio album until the recording of "Na Na Na". A breakthrough was achieved once the chord progressions for the song were in place, with Way explaining, "That's the moment where we said, 'This song changes everything. We're starting over right now. We're starting it over with [producer Rob] Cavallo, and we're doing it now'. Everything up to that point had felt like we had been in this kind of stasis, and as artists, stasis really equals death. So, it was so bad, the vibe wasn't good, and then 'Na Na' happened. And then, al...

Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys

Imagen
Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is the fourth and final studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance. Released on November 22, 2010 by Reprise Records, its songs are associated with the band's well known sound of alternative rock and pop punk, as well as new elements, including power pop, pop rock, and electronic rock. The inspiration for the album comes from contemporary rock, psychedelic rock, and protopunk bands of the sixties and seventies. In addition, the group has stated that there is a strong influence of cinema on the disc. Like its predecessor, The Black Parade (2006), it was produced by Rob Cavallo. The album's recording process took over a year, in which the band recorded more than thirty-six songs, most of which were discarded because the band felt they were not a contribution to the genre. The final edition of the album and video clips created a theme for the album, similar to the movie Blade Runner. The album's story line f...

Teenagers

Imagen
"Teenagers" is the fourth and final single and the eleventh track from My Chemical Romance's third studio album, The Black Parade. It is the third United States single from the album, but it is the fourth single released in the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Australia and Canada. This song is the band's eleventh overall single. The song was released to radio on May 15, 2007. Despite charting at #67 on the US Billboard Hot 100, "Teenagers" is their highest single on the Pop 100 at #23. Gerard Way is quoted as saying that he wrote the song after finding himself in a New York subway car full of high schoolers: "That was the first time I felt old...I was nervous and I was a target. I felt like I had become a parent figure or part of the problem." About the relationship between the song and concerns about gun violence, Way said: “   That song almost didn't fit on the record but it's a topic that's so important to our culture...
