ARTICLE: Guilty Pleasures - My Chemical Romance

 
My friend recently showed me a video where the guitarists of My Chemical Romance spent around 10 minutes attempting to explain what a power chord is. They were unsuccessful. That painfully awkward interview showcased everything that’s wrong with My Chemical Romance, yet every time I hear “Welcome to the Black Parade,” I find myself singing along.  Their songwriting is just a bit more emo than Queen, but maybe that’s what makes the song so irresistible. The whole shtick of the Black Parade turns me off, but I’ll probably still be shouting, “when I was…a young boy,” just like we all did back in 7th grade.

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
It’s been a while since we’ve seen any comic book work from Gerard Way, the writer of the utterly fabulous Umbrella Academy. Though more Umbrella Academy isn’t in the cards at the moment, his new project – The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys – takes its name from Way’s band’s most recent record, My Chemical Romance’s Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, a concept album about a post-apocalyptic future. This book is the continuation of that story, starring the lone surviving member of the original Killjoys who must continue the good fight against the evil corporation known as Better Living Industries.
But don’t worry, fandom of My Chemical Romance or experience with the Danger Days album isn’t required; Way’s quirky writing style (along with co-writer Shaun Simon) will surely deliver some mighty fine characters, and the inclusion of Becky Cloonan on art duties is simply icing on the cake.
