Mona Gale: The Inside Story Of My Chemical Romance

Here is the inside story of My Chemical Romance: their humble beginnings in the suburbs of northern New Jersey, their chart-busting indie and major-label albums, their sold out world tours, and art-house videos. This is the band's real story! Featuring tons of photographs and a full discography, this comprehensive biography - including The Black Parade - is a must for every fan of emo and pop-punk.

Their albums are modern-day classics; their songs tell provocative stories of life and death, love and loss. From the astonishing and groundbreaking Helena to Welcome To The Black Parade, the band always makes a statement with its music and has touched the lives of millions of fans.

My Chem is living proof of what can be achieved by self-proclaimed geeks and outcasts. Brothers Gerard and Mikey Way, Ray Toro, Frank Iero and Bob Bryer had a dream and chased it. Through every setback and challenge - like ditching original drummer Mat Pelissier and Gerard's wild drug and alcohol abuse and subsequent recovery - the guys pulled together and made it happen.
