My Chemical Romance...
 

I defy anyone between the age of 22 and 35 to watch the video for Helena and not have the thought that the lead singer must be Billy Corgan's son.

Also, I actually like this song. Among the new-fangled crappy music bands dominating today's pop/rock, MCR is probably the best.

i listened to some other songs on their album, and that single was by far the best track i heard by them.

Does band popularity go in waves based on name? Like that stretch where every band was a "The" and back in the day it was all about short, one-word band names and now you have to have almost a sentence for a band name to be popular.

Right now we're in the second coming of the emo phase known as "Three Word Name."

yeah i agree he looks like he could be billy corgans son.. helena, good song.

Re: My Chemical Romance...
 

Never thought about Billy Corgan, but now that you mention it they look very similar.

It's a pretty cool song and a neat video. I didn't like the rest of the album that much though...

...and you will know us by the trail of the dead has everyone one trumped i thnk on this one.

Re: My Chemical Romance...
 

This band is pretty big in the UK probably more amonst a younger crowd, I really like the album though is a lot more varied than you might think after listening to the two singles. I dont generally like the overhyped american bands but this is one thta in my opinion deserves the hype.
