My Chemical Romance speak out!

My Chemical Romance have issued an official statement about recent suicide of 13 year old Hannah Bond.

According to British tabloids such as the Daily Mail, Bond allegedly killed herself after "she started following US band My Chemical Romance" and "started cutting her wrists [as] part of an initiation into the emo fashion."

"We have recently learned of the suicide and tragic loss of Hannah Bond," wrote the band on www.mychemicalromance.com. "We'd like to send our condolences to her family during this time of mourning. Our hearts and thoughts are with them.

"My Chemical Romance are and always have been vocally anti-violence and anti-suicide. As a band, we have always made it one of our missions through our actions to provide comfort, support, and solace to our fans. The message and theme of our album The Black Parade is hope and courage. Our lyrics are about finding the strength to keep living through pain and hard times.

"The last song on our album states: 'I am not afraid to keep on living' - a sentiment that embodies the band's position on hardships we all face as human beings. If you or anyone that you know have feelings of depression or suicide, we urge you to find your way and your voice to deal with these feelings positively."

In related news, My Chemical Romance fans are organising a march across London this weekend to protest against the Daily Mail's repeated, and wholly inaccurate, demonisation of the New Jersey rockers.

NICE JOB MY CHEM!! X---X---X
the Daily Mirror are NOT fans of My Chem, Do NOT listen to them, Or ENJOY their music, therefore, they do NOT have the right to critisise the amazing job that these five amazin' guys do to keep us ALIVE!!
Yeah, We may wear black, but we aren't a suicide cult! and we don't promote death or at least encourage it . . . WTH!
this is just a story blown up and made uglier by the stupid press!!! aka - Daily Mail!
Nothing wrong with EMO!
The suicide of Hannah Bond, has obviously no relation to the lyrics in The Black Parade, as stated by MCR, its about finding that stronger person inside you, and finding your voice to deal with depression or whatever . . .
im quite annoyed at the fact, people can brand other like cows or sheep!!!
i think it is stupid to blame the suicide of one girl on a band, make the band members suffer and the fans x x
thats all . . . .
X--X

For one, The Daily Mirror were not anything to do with this, it's the Mail, get your facts straight before shouting off. 2) They do have a right to say anything, its called freedom of speech and finally, Emo Is wrong, but only if the stereotype of it is followed e.g. The whole "I hate myself, I am different to everyone and no-one understands me but its everyone else fault, I am gonna cut myself whaa whaa." Otherwise, emo's who just follow the music (even though in MY OPINION is crap) follow emo fashion etc, thats fine. Also, please cheak your damn writing before you post!

I'm going to go ahead and say it right out: If you cut yourself and dress in black and whine about the world around you, you seriously need help. MCR has okay music, but to me, they look like they dress to be a knight of Stalin's 'honorable' guard. Like faschists in training and the emo subculture is absolutely silly and rediculous. Goths I have some respect for as they can at least have honorable and well-spoken views. I whole-heartedly agree with the Russian Government. Emos ARE a danger, okay? Anyone who whines like a little bitch and are against free speech against them deserves to go to what a YouTube 'friend' of sorts calls a 'happy camp'.

Is anyone seriously taken in by this latest round of media led toss?

I came across this subject through a younger relitives copy of Kerrang (yes, I'm - really old!) and this is the same old crap that was being levelled at Ozzy Osbourse in 1982!

In the early 90's they blamed Nirvana for suicides - before that Danzig were turning everyone into satanists - before that Iron Maiden were doing the same - go back another 20 years and the popular bands of the time were going to cause the end of civillization through casual sex and drug abuse (although the kids doing that stuff are now running the country so maybe they were right!)

Hell - in the 50's people wouild protest against the corrupting influence of Elvis and his scary pelvic moves.

The media like nothing more than to add the latest face to an age old demon.

Keep the public outraged and fearful and they will continue to be willing and obedient consumers.

Rant over, time for the cocoa.

well said, sir.
the media IS responsible for making peeps fearful/suicidal etc. it ISN'T down to emo, or death metal 'cultists'.
DID they check the poor young ladies background? DID they see taht she wasn't being abused by someone close etc.?
i cannot comment as i don't know, but i think we as a civilisation NEED the whole sodding story?
NOT just that which the media/daily mail dane to share with us..
this 'ordination' of us seeing what those in charge WANT us to see/know royally pisses me off..
as in the last post - we have had this since time immorrial - beatles/stones - maiden/danzig etc.
kurt's suicide ended nirvana, and i among MANY others wept like a baby at the time.. those who CHOSE to end their lives in the same manner as mr cobain, did it for their OWN reasons.
grow up world?
i wish love to all.
end of.
rant over.
you got another spare cocoa, oldmosher?
ha ha ha..!!!

couldnt of put it in better words, i must say its amusing fiding out im not the only older person on this site...haha. i would also like to mention there was an incidence with Marilyn Manson about one or two teenagers killing people with guns in there school, or something like that, and i think people are missing out on something else...Films...i know there was and incidence were kids younger than 13 had seen a horror film (dont know which one) and had peformed a sinnister act on a toddler resulting in its death. Films are just as bad, if not worse.

cheers

The Daily Mail are idiots, they've always been out to slag off bands like My Chem, their whole article is just biased, mis-informed rubbish! They should check the truth of their statements before they publish that kind of crap!

i think that this girl... Hannah bond, haved very much problem bekause in her group of friends dont accepted her how she been. But, MCR doesnt responsable to this tragic affair.... Its awesome that MCR publiqued in the official page the condolences from the family, maybe the family its the causant to the suicide..........
MCR LONG LIVE GUYS.....

well, press, tell me this then...

Yeah, every one goes around calling people names for all sorts of reasons. But this is just out of hand. You should really think about what you are saying because if you actually stopped to think about it, what is the difference between, goths, emos, punks and moshers? Not much really. Yes she did kill herself because she thought she was an emo and because thats what she thou
