Growing up, his mother was always very protective, and in junior high to impress a girl he stuck a piece of Runts candy in his nose (like a booger), but it ended up getting stuck in his nose and he had to go to the nurse to get it taken out. He went to the same high school as Gerard & Mikey, and they were 'loose friends'. He also used to have a pet dog called Boy, growing up in a Puerto Rican and Portuguese household. His childhood neighborhood was a strange one, and Ray has said that there were drug addicts overdosing outside his house. As a child, he was not allowed to go outside much because there were bodies always being found in the park and lake near his home.

He replaced Matt Pelissier in 2004. There is not toco much information on Matt, and My Chemical Romance doesn't talk much about him because they "don't like to talk shit", but it seems that Matt was kicked out of the band because he kept messing up onstage, plus no one was happy playing shows together anymore.

my chemical romance (l.a concert in jkt)

Jumat 8 Februari 2008
Konser MCR di Jakarta
My Chemical Romance: Sebuah Pesta Tanpa Encore

lewat L.A. Concert My Chemical Romance The Black Parade, Gerrard Way cs. sukses mengundang anggota parade hitam Jakarta berkumpul di Jakarta Convention Centre.

Kamis, 31 Januari 2008. Waktu menujukkan pukul 18.30 WIB saat ribuan orang berpakaian hitam berbondong-bondong memadati area Senayan. Ada yang hanya mengenakan kaos dan celana jeans. Namun, nggak jarang juga yang mengenakan stelan marching band hitam-hitam.

Meski nggak saling kenal, mereka terlihat kompak. Saat pintu gerbang Jakarta Convention Centre (JCC) dibuka sekitar pukul 19.00, ribuan orang ini berbaris rapi. Berparade menuju sebuah ruangan yang ada di dalam gedung pertemuan itu.

Barisan parade hitam ini berhenti saat melihat set panggung yang tertata apik di depan mereka. Satu per satu, anggota parade maju. Mendekati barikade yang terpasang rapih di bagian depan panggung.

Sempat terdiam beberapa lama, ribuan anggota parade hitam itu tiba-tiba bersorak. Penyebabnya nggak lain dan nggak bukan adalah lima pemuda berpakaian hitam-hitam yang muncul di atas panggung.

Yap! Mereka adalah Gerard Way (vokal), Mikey Way (bas), Ray Toro (gitar), Frank Iero (gitar), dan Bob Bryar (drum), personil My Chemical Romance (MCR) yang memang sudah ditunggu-tunggu oleh ribuan orang berseragam hitam-hitam itu. “Jakartaaaaa.......! Jump!”

Begitulah seruan pertama Gerard Way di atas panggung. Sebuah seruan yang bisa membakar adrenalin seisi JCC yang malam itu berjumlah kurang lebih 5.000 orang. Dan, saat penonton melonjak, gelaran L.A. Concert My Chemical Romance The Black Parade resmi dimulai.

Ngebuka set-nya dengan Dissapear, MCR ngasih bukti kalo mereka memang layak diperhitungkan. Dan, saat Dead dimainkan, Gerard cs. semakin membuat penonton yakin kalo mereka adalah band yang amat berbahaya. Penyebabnya apalagi kalo bukan entakan drum C+C yang dimainkan Bob Bryar dan distorsi maksimal Gibson andalan Ray Toro yang menggema seantero venue.

“Halo, apa kabar Jakarta? Kami My Chemical Romance dan kami siap untuk mendobrak kalian semua,” ujar Gerard Way kelar memberi shock therapy lewat dua lagu pertama. Selanjutnya, barisan lagu paten macam I’m Not Okay, House of Wolves dan Kill All bergantian membuat penonton menggila.
Beberapa saat setelah mereka ngebawain lagu Kill All, kilatan lampu yang menyerupai petir dan suara gemuruh memenuhi panggung. “Death...........”

Gerard berbisik di atas panggung seakan mengajak penonton untuk mati bersamanya. Vokalis berwajah “sakit” ini langsung menyanyikan lagu Mama. Koor panjang pun langsung terdengar lantang.

Mama we all go to hell,
Mama we all go to hel,.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama we all go to hell......

Benar-benar sebuah konser yang sempurna. Yang merupakan perpaduan penempatan set list yang apik, permainan cahaya, dan tentu saja gerakan teatrikal dari personil MCR. Terutama, Gerard.

Malam itu, MCR benar-benar membuat penggemarnya berpesta. Banyak banget hits mereka yang digeber ke hadapan penonton. Sebut saja I Don’t Love You, Give Em Hell, Headfirst For Halos, The Sharpest Live, Prison, Teenagers, Helena, Sleep, dan Cancer. Semuanya dibawakan dengan apik dan berkelas.

Bahkan, ada juga lagu-lagu yang nggak pernah masuk album yang ikut dimainkan. Salah duanya adalah Dessert Song dan sebuah cover version lagu Motley Crue yang sempet dipopulerkan lagi sama Limp Bizkit, Home Sweet Home.
Sayangnya, MCR terlalu cepat mengakhiri konsernya. Selepas membawakan Famous Last Word, band ini langsung pamit ke belakang panggung dan nggak keluar-keluar lagi.

We want more... We want more!” teriak penonton meminta encore.

Tapi percuma. Mereka nggak naik lagi. Yang naik panggung malah kru MCR yang sibuk ngeberesin alat.

Meskipun rada kecewa karena nggak ada encore, toh penonton nggak protes. Soalnya, selama 90 menitan, band asal New Jersey itu menampilkan sebuah konser yang amat mengesankan. Salut!

My Chemical Romance - Band Profile


My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance are one of the biggest bands around at the moment - loved and hated in equal measures, their songs about drug abuse, lost love and homosexuality have attracted attention worldwide. They are widely said to be emo… although they’ve gone on record as to say they hate being called that!

My Chemical Romance (or MCR as they’re more commonly known) are from New Jersey and are Gerard Way (Vocals), Mikey Way (Bass), Ray Toro (Guitar), Frank Iero (Guitar) and Bob Bryar (Drums). They formed in 2001 after the September 11th attacks in New York as they felt that the event had such a profound effect on them (Skylines and Turnstiles was written about it) Their name came from an Irvine Welsh novel.

They were quickly signed up by Eyeball Records and a year later they released their first album I Brought you my bullets, you brought me your love.

In 2004, after being signed up by Warner Brothers Records they released Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, the album that helped them hit the big time. They supported Green Day on their American Idiot tour and later headlined the famous Warped Tour with Fall Out Boy.

In 2006 they released their most recent album - The Black Parade (although at one point it was joked the name of the album would be The Rise and Fall of My Chemical Romance). This album was celebrated by a change of image, which included Gerard’s bleached blonde hair and the now famous Drummer Jackets as seen in the Welcome to the Black Parade video. The Album was voted the 4th best album of 2006 by Kerrang.

In 2007 the Band went on tour, obtaining the ultimate coup by getting Muse to support them. They also toured with Linkin Park and HIM in Projekt Revolution - in a tour where a controversial snog was shared onstage between Gerard Way and Frank Iero.
