MCR Cover Contest

Dearest Friends,

Before we rip the curtain off of this new album, let’s have a little bit of fun. One thing we can’t help but notice, is just how unbelievably artistically talented you all are. People send us video clips and CD’s all the time of them performing our songs in every imaginable way. Be it solo, full band, acoustic, electric, electro, interpretive dance…we’ve seen just about everything, and it never ceases to amaze and inspire us.

We thought it would be awesome to finally showcase the best of the best of these videos, and reward you handsomely. From now until June 14th, we will be accepting entries for the very first My Chemical Romance YouTube cover contest. All you need to do is video tape yourself covering your favorite MCR song in whichever style you feel and follow the instructions below to enter the contest. We will review the entries and announce the champion and future owner of a signed guitar while showcasing some of our favorite entries.

Warm up those fingers and vocal chords! The sky’s the limit really, think outside the box and show em how it’s done.

Love you guys, we will catch up soon!

Mikey

One chapter ends and another begins…

Hello Friends,

Recently it seems as though every time we write to you guys we have bad news, and we apologize for that, but we’ve learned in life you can’t have the sweet without the sour. As a band we have been very fortunate over the years that our sweet times have greatly outweighed the sour ones, and a great deal of that is owed to you, the fans. Which is why we wanted this news to come from us and not some bullshit gossip site.

As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways. This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same.

We also wanted to give you all a quick heads up on how the record is progressing. We have been writing some very powerful new songs so this week the four of us entered the studio once again, and what has been ending up on tape each night is some of the most exciting and honest work we have ever created.

We hope this letter finds you well, we miss you…
talk to you soon,
xo MCR

Bid on a signed MCR guitar for benefit for Chi from The Deftones

posted by Jeff on Nov 20, 2009 11:11am

This week Deftones has launched a benefit auction in support of their bassist and brother Chi Cheng. Chi has been in a semi-conscious state since being involved in a horrific car accident in November 2008, and his family has accumulated an overwhelming amount of medical bills that insurance does not entirely cover. It is Deftones’ mission to raise significant funds to help ensure Chi’s recovery by launching this benefit auction in conjunction with their management Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group, and in association with CharityBuzz.com.

In support of this mission, My Chemical Romance have donated an Autographed ESP Guitar on which you can now bid, to further help this cause. Check out the auction here!
