What is the meaning of the My Chemical Romance CDs?

Question

For TBP I've heard it is celebrating the end of some "Great War" -I played the game thingy on their website- But I've also heard it's about a guy called "The Paitent" and his regrets in life.
And then Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge... does anybody know the story behind that?

THANKS!

Answer 1

alrighty...
their first cd: I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me You Love
this cd is about 9/11. the song Skylines and Turnstiles on this cd is directly related to 9/11.
their second cd: Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
this cd is about death basically. The song Helena is about Gerard and Mikey's grandma (Elena).
their thrid cd: The Black Parade
This cd is basically the exact opposite of Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, this cd is about living. yes, this is a rock opera! okay.. the cd focuses around "The Patient". He finds out he only has 2 weeks to live (as said in the song Dead!). When he does die death comes for him in the form of The Black Parade, so the song Welcome To The Black Parade is an intro for him basically letting The Patient know that he's dead.
The rest of the cd has im looking back on his life. The song Mama has him regretting what he has done to his family, especially is mother.
The song Famous Last Words says, it's okay to live, not everything sucks in your life
The song I Don't Love You is him letting go of either a lover or his family.
Cancer is self explanitory.
basically what the entire cd, The Black Parade, is saying is: death comes for you in the form of your fondest memory. For The Patient, the fondest memory for him was going to a parade with his father when he was younger (Welcome To The Black Parade). When you die, death will come for you in either an event or a person or whatever is your fondest memory.


yea.. and if you've never noticed this:
there is a song on I Brought You My Bullets... that's called Demolition Lovers. On the little pamphlet in the cd Three Cheers it mentions the cover picture... the cover picture of the two people was drawn by Gerard Way and entitled "Demolition Lovers II"
also, (this is also metioned on the pamphlet, this was drawn by Gerard Way and entitled "Just The Way It Goes") Three Cheers' little cd tray (the place where the cd goes) has a picture of a woman on an operating in a morgue place- this is another reason why Three Cheers is about death.

Answer 2

"Three Cheers..." is about the continuation of the demolition lovers story from their first album, "I Brought you my Bullets...". After their death, the male demolition lover makes a deal with the devil to gather 1,000 evil souls in exchange for their lives, he does this and gets his love (helena) back from the grave, but he dies at the end because he is the last evil soul left.
