My Chemical Romance became one of the biggest emo bands on the planet, but their journey to stadium-sized success was anything but smooth. In this episode, we trace the band's story through ten traumatic moments that shaped their career, from Gerard Way witnessing 9/11 and the band's early struggles to lineup upheavals, addiction battles, devastating injuries, heartbreak, breakups, reunions, and the tragic fate of former drummer Bob Bayar. These experiences shaped the music that made MCR an icon for an entire generation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
