My Chemical Romance - Im Not Okay & Helena (Live MTV2) (2005)

Polski opis

Opis: Na muzycznej scenie Jersey (przez niektórych określanej mianem 'sceny morderstw') pojawiło się My Chemical Romance. Łączą oni w swojej muzyce elementy pop/rocka, punka i gotyku i stworzyli ciekawe, własne brzmienie.

Zespół powstał z inicjatywy Gerarda Waya i Matta Pelissiera. Postanowili oni założyć zespół z wielu powodów. Way, który ukończył szkołę artystyczną w 1999, pracował w firmie projektującej figurki, ale czuł się niespokojnie w firmowej atmosferze. Po napisaniu piosenki "Skylines and Turnstiles" byli naprawdę zadowoleni z niej i zapytali gitarzystę Raya Toro, czy nie chciałby się do nich przyłączyć. Brat Gerarda, Mikey, był zachwycony tym, co robi brat i postanowił nauczyć się grać na basie, aby być w zespole. Na teledysku zobaczymy "I'm not Okay" & "Helena", które My Chemical Romance miał okazje zagrać na żywo w studio MTV2. Polecam

English description

Description: Based in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punk-pop band that has been compared to Thursday and, to a lesser degree, Cursive. Many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, but My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and pop-minded. My Chemical Romance got started in the early 2000s, when lead singer Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier decided to try writing some songs together. The first tune that Way and Pelissier -- who had been friends since high school -- came up with was called "Skylines and Turnstiles" (a title reflecting the fact that Way had been working in New York City, where he was in the animation field). Way and Pelissier both felt good about the song, and Way asked guitarist Ray Toto if he would be interested in working with them. My Chemical Romance's five-man lineup was complete when Way, Pelissier, and Toto joined forces with bassist Mikey Way (Gerard Way's brother) and guitarist Frank Iero. With that lineup in place, the band started playing all around the Northeast Corridor and made plans to begin working on its first album.

In 2002, Eyeball Records (the New York-based indie that Thursday had recorded for) released My Chemical Romance's debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. The album was often compared to Thursday -- a comparison that, for various reasons, was inevitable and unavoidable. Both bands were from New Jersey, both had recorded for Eyeball, and both combined punk-pop's musical aggression with introspective, confessional lyrics. Plus, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was produced by Geoff Rickly, Thursday's lead singer -- add all of those things up, and there was no way that My Chemical Romance was going to escape Thursday comparisons. But Thursday isn't their only influence; reviewers have cited the Smiths, Morrissey, the Cure, and the Misfits as influences. And Way has even cited British heavy metal icons Iron Maiden as an influence.

Lyrically, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love is as dark as it is introspective and cathartic; Way has been quoted as saying that the band's lyrics were a great way for him to deal with the problems he had been going through (which included severe depression and a serious illness in his family). The 2002 release included Way and Pelissier's first song, "Skylines and Turnstiles" and many of the album's other song titles were equally intriguing, including "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us", "Drowning Lessons", "Headfirst for Halos", "Our Lady of Sorrows" and "Vampires Will Never Hurt You." In 2003, My Chemical Romance signed with Reprise/Warner Bros and released Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge one year later.
