How did you first heard about them?, page 2
i was about nine and I saw Helena on the tv, and then when i was ten Welcome to the Black Parade came on. It was probably one of the best memories to do with a band that I have.
I fell in love I really did. I have always been drawn to things like it, tragically beautiful, sad yet magnificent things.
Helena had my two favourite things in it at the time, death and ballet. I remember watching Gerard and the look in his eyes, it drew me in even at such a young age.
Everyone, especially my nan and my aunt, thought it unbecoming of me to be hooked on a band at such a young age, that's the moment I was taught individually was a 'bad thing.'
But my favourite would have to be the time I rediscovered them. When I was 13 and having an identity crisis, I'd just started high school and wanted so badly to fit in and becoming obsessed with bad pop music like Justin bieber was the best way, but my best friend ebonnie was absolutely in love with My Chem. I never told her until a few months ago that I loved them too, she always wondered how I knew so much about them or why my eyes would light up when she mentioned frank in particular, or how I would stare fondly at her maths book every time because Gerard was on it, or why I was so jealous of every piece of my chem merch possible.
I only really started listening to them avidly again at the start of last year.
now I'm back at square one, regretting ever giving them up really.
They've gotten me through a lot, and I miss them.

My sister was completely obsessed with My Chem for years and when our dad died in 2009 that was most of what she listened to and what got her through. I was only 10 at the time and didn't know how to deal with it so I ignored it and just acted like he was on another business trip. After a few years she stopped listening to them and got into other music.
I remember her listening to Welcome to the Black Parade a lot and one day I picked it out on piano.
In summer 2011 I finally decided to deal with the fact he was gone and my sister gave me her MCR CDs and that was basically all I listened to for a while.
I miss them so much

How i found out about My Chemical Romance is by my dad. It was around the time when the song Helena came out and my dad was singing it all the time and i would try to dance the the dead girl and i failed! I still love them today!!
I was about 5 or 6 when Helana cam out (im 13 today) abd my dad showed me that song cuz he would sing that all the time! My dad told me i would try to dance like the dead girl(Helana) and i love them till this day!
Well, Im a huge Green Day fan and on Twitter there were other Green Day fans that also liked My Chemical Romance and all I would see was "Gerard Way is one is one of the most amazing singers, I love My Chemical Romance!" and tweets like that. Anyway one day I asked this girl I followed if MCR was a good band and she replied to me saying "Yes! They are an amazing band! I love them!" and so I asked her which songs were her favorites because, I wanted to see what they sounded like. She told me Helena, Teenagers, Welcome To The Black Parade, Im Not Okay, and Ghost of You. Right when I heard Teenagers I instantly fell in love with My Chem and couldn't stop listening to them.
Uh well mines kind of sad.
See when I was in 5th grade I had really bad depression. I just couldnt handle it anymore. So, actually, don't freak out, ironically, I picked a date to kill myself. Which just happened to be March 22, it was a Monday after school and my mom was going to the library in our town, which was like a half hour away from our house.
I had no idea what I was doing, but I thought I could suffocate myself, or swallow a bunch of my dad's Prozac for being in the military. So I camped out in my room until my mom left, and I had Pandora Radio on in the background. I had it on Panic! At the Disco radio, and wasn't really listening, because it was my brother's account, and that music wasnt what I was into.
I remember rocking back and forth kind of, infront of my mirror, just staring at myself in my orange sweatshirt (Yeah I remember what I was wearing, and what I ate that day), and thinking God, you little fuck up, you little ugly fuckup. Worthless nasty fuckup. I had like a numbish feeling, I coudnt like feel myself, or my breathing so I kept pinching mycelf really hard, and then sitting on my bed. I had layed out a trash bag and some tape (I am not going into detail about what I was planning to do), and 13 fluoxetine next to it, deciding on my choices. I reached for the pills, and was bout to pop them in my mouth when I heard this piano riff, just oh god.
It was gorgeous.
I remember setting the pills down and quickly picking up my ipod, and just turning the volume up all the way.
"When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band-" it was so fucking clear and I fell in love, and I listened to the whole song until it was over, and I remember crying, and taking the pills and putting them back into the plastic jar, and shoving the cotten back inside, and ripping up the trashbag. I never came out about my love for MCR to my friends until this year, because nobody really listened to the same music as me.
Secretly, I had been in love with a band, and it's music. It influenced me to the things I do today. Even though I do regret having a short fallout with depression once again in the 7th grade, cutting myself (Never EVER cut yourself. It is addictive and masochistic. You will think you need it, but it will tear you apart from the inside out), I stopped because I had started to listen to music again.
When you guys say MCR saved your life, I want you to know, I am completley and utterly with you on that. They literally kept me from ending something so precious, something I will only have once ever, and I will thank them for that until the day, I naturally die.
Much thanks to My Chemical Romance, forever remaining in my heart, and stitched into my very being,

My older brother (who was a teen then) was really into MCR, and I always wanted to be like him. So when he got the album "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge" I took it, and listened to it. I was little and I didn't understand the lyrics totally but I loved the music and the look on my sisters face when I would turn it up over her pop/hip hop music. For a year though I denied my punk/tomboy self and didn't listen to MCR. I started again after I got better and figured out that I don't care what people think. Soon after I started making my own music thanks to Gerard,Mikey,Frank, and Ray.

Not to sound racist or anything (because sometimes it happens...) but would they take American money? Again... not trying to sound rasist.

I can relate. They saved me from a suicide a few times. You have a beautiful story-thank god you're here.

when I was 6, my brother got the "three cheers for sweet revenge" album. I only really liked Thank You For The Venom, and would listen to that song all the time. Eventually he changed his taste in music, and I never really listened to them. Two years ago my friend started talking about Black Parade, and I started to listen to MCR again. Now I love them!!!!
I first heard of them when I stayed at my friends house in 2004. I was 11 and Revenge had just come out that summer. I had always listened to alternative music because of my older brother and sister and my friends didn't really understand it. (Some still don't and are super judgmental but I've learned that you can't please everyone and frankly, why would you want to? I finally stopped trying to get people to understand my music tastes and now I just sit and laugh at the looks on their faces when they hear The screaming and the guitar and the...I'm rambling...) So I was staying at her house and she had fallen asleep. I had woke up in the middle of the night and saw that she had left the tv on. It was on MTV and I remember seeing a girl dancing around funeral home and although it didn't hit me right away, I couldn't stop watching it. And Gerard's voice was so... words could not describe it. Anyway, for a month or so after that I never really thought about it but every once in awhile I would remember it and mean to ask my friend. One day I finally did and she laughed as I was trying to describe it to her. Something along the lines of "the dead dancing girl" song. So she said it was MCR and I've been in love ever since. Almost a decade later and they are still my favorite band. <3
My sister was a huge fan, when I was five she taught me to sing blood from the black parade album (not caring to tell me about the swearing before I sung it in front of my parents) and she taught me to have a crush on Gerard say. That is why I like my sister :3

Oh my glob, you & my sister both. She'd say things like, 'isn't he cute?' And I'd agree, even though I was 8 years old

I guess I had heard their songs when I was younger but never really payed much attention to them cause it wasnt really my thing (i started kindergarten the year revenge came out and I'm Australian to give that some context). I went to the US in 2007 and I vaguely remember seeing stuff about Black Parade there but again i didn't really get into it. then I heard 'Sing' on Glee a few years later and I loved the song. at the end of last year, i was watching a Black Veil Brides music video on youtube and Welcome to the Black Parade came up on the suggested videos. I clicked on it and I was hooked! that was the only song I listened to for a month straight then I got my dad to download anything he could by My Chemical Romance. I listened to some of their stuff but I actually hadn't listened to every song by them until the day of the breakup - I cried when my friend told me and went and listened to every MCR song from bullets all the way to conventional weapons. My Chem is my favorite band and they have helped me through my depression, anxiety, bullying and lots of other stuff throughout the past few months. Without them, I probably wouldn't be alive right now...
I heard of them on the internet. I got bored and did a search for types of music and they popped up whilst surfing wikipedia. I was eleven at the time, and this happened a few years ago. I didn't like them at first but it just so happened that I started to fall hard with their music at the time they broke up. Actually, I remember the day they split. I was searching them up on YouTube and there were so many videos from fans. I remember crying. They were there for me, when I was struggling with horrid things no child should go through such as depression, alcohol abuse, self harm, and the like. I was struggling with questioning my sexuality. I had attempted suicide three times. MCR taught me that it's okay to be different.
This makes me sound like a total noob and a non-Killjoy, but I found out about them a day after the break up. I had a friend who was obsessed, but one day she was just crying and stuff, and when she said they broke up I decided I'd try listening to them. Fell in love instantly.

I found them at like 2 or 3 in the morning when Helena was playing on MTV when I was like 7 or 8. I mostly remembered them at the time because I thought Ray's afro would come out of the TV and eat me alive...so I kind of got scared by Ray's afro. [oops.] But now I'm over my weird fear and listening to them every day. ♥
NaNaNa is/was on Sims3?
I started listening to them when my friend, who I now call Mikey, said Welcome To The Black Paradehis favourite song that he heard on the Kerrang! channel. When I got home, it also mentioned it in the book I was reading, so I downloaded their greatest hits onto my ipod. Then I loved them. Few years later they split up. Ace.
