My Chemical Romance Fan Suicide
| In the news around the world today there have been reports about the tragic recent suicide of 13 year old Hannah Bond. The media are blaming her death on 'emo culture', and in particular My Chemical Romance. You can find out the full story at the follwing sites: The Telegraph The Daily Mail The London Life When visiting these sites be aware that this is the media, and they will put their own spin on it. I find the following statement from The Telegraph article extremely disrespectful, Hannah Bond, 13, hanged herself from a bunk bed in her bedroom with a tie believing her death would impress fellow followers of the “emo” movement, it was said. I do not believe that anyone would choose to take their own life simply to impress others, do you?. If only the media would take the time to listen to this band. Obviously my heart goes out to her friends and family at this time, but it is wrong for the media to blame this on My Chemical Romance. Im sure I speak for many of you when I say that this band saved our lives. This is not the first time that The Daily Mail has targeted the band. Many of you will remember back in 2006 when there was an 'Emo cult warning for parents' published labelling My Chemical Romance as an 'Emo band'. You can read that article Here. |

GET THE NEW MCR CD/DVD - WITH SPECIAL MASKS MADE BY THE BAND!
Hey Guys and Gals, We have all been anxiously waiting for June 24th. On this day, the DVD/CD entitled "The Black Parade is Dead" hits stores, online outlets, and other avenues. Starting today, you'll be able to preorder said DVD/CD directly from mychemicalromance.com. It depicts the final "Black Parade" show in all of its arena-rock glory, live from Mexico City this past Fall. We also decided to include a video of the intimate show we had at New Jersey's legendary club, Maxwells, this past October. We played one of our very first shows on that stage, and it was amazing to be on it once again. These shows were some of the most memorable and fun we've ever had onstage. The kids at the Mexico City show actually overpowered the PA, and their voices were deafening. The Maxwells show was complete pandemonium, and the video captures the feeling of and old school MCR show, the way it was way back when. I want to apologize for the wait, as we wanted to make sure that it was absolutely perfect for your viewing pleasure. With the pre-order, you are entitled to 3 DRM-free download of select tracks from the Mexico City show (Mama, Dead, and Welcome to the Black Parade). Inside the special edition, you'll find the DVD tucked inside of a collectible pinewood coffin box with our logo burned into the top. Also, inside, you will receive 1 of 5 Day of The Dead-esque masks we each designed. We had a blast designing them, and hope you have a blast wearing them, (or whatever else you choose to do with them). The special edition also contains a "death certificate of authenticity with our signatures printed on it. This edition if extremely limited, so if you want one, pre-order sooner than later. We are almost finished with our special intimate theater tour and it's been insane. Some of venues we haven't played in many years, and flood my head with fond memories. It's amazing to be able to share with all of our fans old and new. We love each and every one of you, and hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it. Regards Mikeyway      |
