The song "Summertime" was written for Gerard Way's wife, LynZ.
LynZ actually wrote the lyric "Run away with me" on her arm, and Gerard wrote "Anytime you want" on his neck. He wrote the line repeatedly on his neck during concerts before the breakup.
Liza Minelli played on the track "Mama," along with the Way's family members.
Gerard and Mikey Way's parents, Donna and Donald Way, also sang vocals on the track.
MCR was formed by Gerard Way as a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
He recruited Mikey, and Mikey even learned to play the guitar just so he could participate in his brother's band.
The band members had actual jobs before being band members.
Mikey Way used to work at Barnes & Noble, where he discovered the book that would inspire the band to name themselves My Chemical Romance. Bob Bryar was a drummer at Disney World, and Gerard Way considered himself a cartoonist.
There is a reason a parade jacket was buried in the sand in the "Na Na Na" music video.
The burial of the jacket symbolized Bob Bryar's leaving the band.
