What is your first memory of hearing My Chemical Romance?

[@justanotherfabulouskilljoy]

I was listening to fall out boy and wttbp popped up on my yt recommend

[@martitaalvarez4231]

My firt memory is the best time in my life .i love MCR always

[@therealglobglogabgalab]

Looking for new music and heard them for the first time, thought they were complete trash. Heard them again a month later and fell in luv xD

[@mariazikou3391]

"Famous last words" came up on my feed and I remember gasping and my eyes popping out even from the intro. I still get that feeling even after about a million times I've heard the song. That's how you fall in love with My Chem-fast and full on.

My older sister 3 years ago asked me if I ever heard of them. I told her no so she showed me Helena. Fell in love with the band, i remember thinking Ray seemed like such a cool dude even though I had only seen him every now and then in music videos

[@mariazikou3391]

Yes, I agree a hundred per cent! Brilliant musicians, musical geniuses. It's so good to hear someone express in those words why they like My Chem. Thank you, Lucas. I do not know you but thank you. I'll look up your music too.

3 days ago I listened to your most recent album, and I fell in love with everything, with your voice, the sound of the band and the emotions! It reminded me the first time that I listened to MCR, and then I read that MCR was one of your influences !!!! my instinct did not fail! Dude! You got a Big fan!.... Also my first memory was listen every damn day after school in my way to home like 7song , thank you for the venom was my first on the playlist

[@ximemeyer5807]

Listen to their last album (The greatest mistake of my life) Pretty good!!

[@demetrisloukas8586]

"Our Mega evolutions" I swear to god I find pokemon fans in the weirdest places

[@demetrisloukas8586]

@@ranivacar I think it's the biggest franchise in the world but I definitely don't expect pokemon references is interviews of alternative bands about other alternative bands

[@MMM1MM]

My favorite band of all time, I've yet to find anyone with a discography as good as MCR. Would love some suggestions, if anyone got any

[@susanlloyd1068]

I love Lucas and his insight into My Chemical Romance, I totally agree with his observances about their music

[@adambrown7893]

[@Commandercolt44]
