    Pros: An intimate inside look into the beginnings of a fabulous band

    Cons: You want more!!

    The 'diary' DVD has to be the best part of this fantastic package and the reason for purchasing it. It's 2 hours and 1 minute of viewing pleasure. As a fan I didn't learn much new information, but it was great to hear it from themselv...es and in chronological order. It takes you from the formation of the band, through Bullets and Three Cheers and the future. If you're not a fan you won't be disappointed in your purchase and I'm sure you'll have as much adoration for these five great guys as me after viewing. The second DVD features live footage and their three music videos from their single releases from Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. It also includes the Making-Of the video's which are just as fun to watch as the DVD. The CD is awesome. It is a bunch of songs performed live, and believe me MCR sound just as good live if not better. Also Bury Me In Black (demo) and Desert Song (previously unreleased) - a beautiful song. BUY IT NOW!!

Pro Reviews: Life on the Murder Scene

  • All Music Guide

    Life on the Murder Scene combines two classic ways for a band to bide time in one convenient package: it's a live album and a live DVD. Actually, it's even a little bit more than that, since the live DVD also contains two TV appearances, a selection of performances originally aired online, the videos from My Chemical Romance's 2004 majorlabel debut, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, and three "Making the Video" segments and there's a second DVD, containing a "Video Diary," where the bandmembers spend two hours talking and talking: talking about their influences, talking about why they make music (basically, to save lives, whether it's theirs or their fans), talking about each other, talking about how they met, talking about comic book art, talking about 9/11, talking about signing to a major label, talking about touring, talking about "becoming more theatrical," talking about how they're "antirock roll," talking about how "there's no groupies, that's the best part of My Chemical Romanc...e fans." Basically, talking about anything that's happened to the band, which makes this less of a daybyday video diary and more of an insanely detailed twohour documentary about a band that is on the cusp of breaking big. In other words, not the thing to convert the skeptics who were not convinced that MCR is a generationdefining band based on "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Helena," but it's a gift designed for those 25andunders whose lives were saved by Three Cheers. It's stuffed to the gills with live performances and ephemera, the kind that wears its repetition proudly (no less than seven different appearances of "I'm Not Okay [I Promise]," for instance), and it takes the hearty soul of a fanatic to sort through it all. For all others, Life on the Murder Scene is a test of patience the CD less so, since the live renditions are enhanced by rhythms that are tougher onstage than they are on record (which tends to ground Gerard Way's hammy vocals), and there's also less of it, so it's easier to digest. But only the dedicated could sort through the four hours of video here, plus the hour of music. They'll do so happily, and be pleased that they can get all this stuff in one convenient package, but Life on the Murder Scene is such a piece of product for a particular moment a moment when MCR had been voted Band of the Year for Spin, but have yet to cross over into the mass popular consciousness; a moment when the band needs new material to keep its momentum going, yet has nothing ready; most importantly, a moment when their adolescent angst resonates with a particular generation that is slowly, inevitably reaching a point where the angst no longer makes sense that will always exist as a snapshot of this point in time and never be much more than that. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

My Chemical Romance

Based in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punkpop band that has been compared to Thursday and, to a lesser degree, Cursive. Many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, but My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and popminded. My Chemical Romance got started in the early 2000s, when lead singer Gerard Way and drum... Read more
