My Chemical Romance (often shortened to MCR or My Chem[1]) is an American Music Award-nominated, Grammy Award-nominated, American rock quintet that formed in 2001. The current members of the band are Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro and Bob Bryar. Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002. They signed with Reprise Records the next year and released their major label debut Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004. The album was a major commercial success, selling over one million copies due in part to the success of the singles "Helena", "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", and "The Ghost of You". The band followed this success with 2006's The Black Parade, featuring their hit singles, "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", "Teenagers" and upcoming single "Mama". While the band identifies their sound as simply "rock", the subgenre of the band's recordings has been a subject of debate among fans and the media.[citation needed] After a long hiatus, Mikey Way returned to the band in time to support Bon Jovi. The band also recently filmed a live DVD in Mexico City, which is due for release in early 2008.[2].
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Is:Ronnie Winter: Lead VocalsElias Reidy: Guitar, Backing VocalsDuke Kitchens: Guitar, Piano, VocalsJoey Westwood: Bass, VocalsJon Wilkes: Drums, VocalsWhat's in a name? Well, it depends who came up with it. In the case of Middleburg, Florida quintet The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, it might mean anything. Jumpsuits can be sleek and fashionable, tight and revealing. Or they can be loose and homogeneous, suggesting redundancy and confinement befitting a jailbird. Red is often flashy and easily noticeable, but it's also the color of blood. And an apparatus allows a jumpsuit to be used for a specific purpose, such as leaping from an airplane - or it could be something sexual. After all, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are ballsy and emotional, pulsing with vibrancy and tenacity. They're strong, yet vulnerable, and they shift between musical styles with the confidence of superstars.
Much like Five for Fighting or Dashboard Confessional both musically and in theory, Secondhand Serenade is a project name for a solo artist, singer/songwriter John Vesely. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in a musical family that included his professional jazz musician father, Vesely spent a number of dues-paying years in a variety of local bands before switching from bass to acoustic guitar and beginning to write his own songs. (In his official artist bio, Vesely claims that the inspiration for the band name Secondhand Serenade is the fact that all of his autobiographical songs are directed first and foremost to his wife, thereby making the audience mere bystanders to their pas de deux; he seems not to notice that some potential listeners might find this attitude a bit condescending.) Vesely recorded his debut album, Awake, in 2005, originally self-releasing the disc and selling it through his MySpace page and iTunes. Online buzz led to a deal with Glassnote Records, a pseudo-indie funded and distributed by the Warner Bros. offshoot The Independent Label Group. Glassnote released an expanded version of Awake in February 2007. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
The four members of Chicago's Fall Out Boy came together in suburban Wilmette around 2001. Vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz, drummer Andrew Hurley, and guitarist Joe Trohman had all been in and out of various units connected to Chicago's underground hardcore scene. Most notably, Hurley drummed for Racetraitor, the furiously political metalcore outfit whose brief output was both a rallying point and sticking point within the hardcore community. As Fall Out Boy, the quartet used the unbridled intensity of hardcore as a foundation for melody-drenched pop-punk with a heavy debt to the emo scene. They debuted with a self-released demo in 2001, following it up in May 2002 with a split LP on Uprising that also featured Project Rocket (for which Hurley also drummed). The band returned on the label in January with the mini-LP Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girl, but by this point a bidding war of sorts was already in full swing.

Formation (1997-2001)
Plain White T's lead vocalist Tom Higgenson originally set out to be a drummer in high school and was a member of various bands. However, when Plain White T's first came together in the late 90's Higgenson took over songwriting and singing duties for the band. Bassist Ken Fletcher and drummer Dave Tirio came on board and the band began performing around the Chicago area.
The T's were just an average starting out rock band, playing covers in a garage. They spent a few years doing this, but in the summer of 1999 Tom Higgenson was in a car crash, which left him with a lacerated kidney and punctured lung. The band had only just started to get noticed by record labels at this point, but this made no difference as far as Atlantic was concerned, as the band got signed to this indie label in 2000. They recorded an album and released it, its name was Come on Over. They supported tours around their hometown, Chicago, aiming only to gain their fan base.

Guitar parts
When you think of guitar parts, it is likely that the first part you think of is the string. As a matter of fact, for many people, this is the only kind of guitar part that they are able to think of. Even though these parts are very important, they are not more important than any of the other parts that are included.
• Strings ? Of course these are important parts to the guitar. The reason that strings are so important is obvious ? the sound that produced from them is what makes a guitar an instrument.
Remember that if you want to have good sound, not just any old strings will do. The strings range from thick to thin and they produce different sounds depending on how hard you stroke them. Of course, another way that sound can be altered is by tightening the strings up.• Pegs ? These guitar parts play a large role in determining the kind of sound and the quality of sound that will come from your computer. This sound can be affected by simply making a small rotation with the tightener. The way you turn it greatly affects the sound of the guitar. These are the items that you use to tune the guitar to make sure that it is in good, playable condition
There are other guitar parts as well, but regardless of the part, the important thing to remember is that each part affects how another part works.
Guitar picks
Perhaps no part of playing the guitar is more angst-ridden than choosing a guitar pick. For some reason, people seem to get very upset with these picks. But some people love to use picks. It all boils down to the fact that for some people, picks are comfortable while for others they are not.
Here are common arguments for and against using guitar picks:
• For ? One thing that playing a guitar does to you than non-musicians might not know is that it can truly be hard on your fingers. That’s right. It hurts. Those who play with picks protect their fingers from becoming calloused from strumming on the guitar for hours at a time.
If you want a simple black pick, then it is simple to find this at any music supply store. But, if you want a pick that has your name on one side and the name of your band, along with your logo, on the other side, you can custom order it. Expect to pay a little more if you plan to get one designed just for you.
• Against ? One of the biggest reasons some people do not like to use picks is simply because they do not get the same kind of feel when your finger touches a string. The way a person strums their guitar can have a significant affect on the mood of a song. Some people feel if they are unable to use all of their fingers to stroke the strings, they are not going to be able to convey the sense of emotion through their music.
Blues guitars
Blues guitar is a style of playing based on specific chords and feelings of despair and sadness. Blues guitar isn’t a specific instrument, though some guitar bodies are better-suited for blues playing than others.
There have been many great guitarists who specialize in playing the blues. Perhaps the recent greatest and certainly one of the most popular is B.B. King. There are a few reasons why B.B. King is considered to be such a great guitarist. If it is your plan to be able to truly play the blues, perhaps you should try to learn from his example. Here are some of the things B.B. would pay attention to:
• Feel it ? When King plays the guitar, he doesn’t just play it, he feels it in his soul. And because he feels it himself, he is able to help others feel it as well. This is one of the signs of a great blues guitarist. You have to make your audience feel what you feel.• Practice ? You can feel it all you want, but it is still absolutely necessary to practice a lot if you are truly interested in being able play the guitar with the best of them. The great guitarists didn’t get that way overnight. Their achievements required lots and lots of practice and hard work. If you want to be great, you will need to commit yourself to the same. Learn all the rules and technique before you can abandon them.
Guitar amps
If you have an electric guitar, it is a given that you are going to need some guitar amps. ‘Amps’ is short for ‘amplifiers’ – electronics and tubes that bring life to that electric guitar.
Guitar amps are as varied and personal as the actual guitars. You have to hear the sounds produced by any given amp before you know if it will suit your purpose. That’s why music stores are sometimes irritating – just one guitar player plugged in to an amp in a music store creates quite a ruckus. But with so many different kinds of amps available, you have to try before you buy.
Rock ‘n roll would be nothing without guitar amps. From the dry, classic sound of Elvis’ guitar to the signature snarl of Black Sabbath guitars, most of any recognizable guitar sound is produced from the amp. Amps are equipped with a variety of knobs used to adjust high, low, and mid-range electric sounds.
