MCR drummer quits

2010-03-04 by Damrod EMERITUS | 66 Comments
My Chemical Romance have stated that drummer Bob Bryar and the band parted ways:

"As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways. This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same."

The band said no word about a possible replacement behind the drums, stated a short update regarding the new record in the making though:

"We also wanted to give you all a quick heads up on how the record is progressing. We have been writing some very powerful new songs so this week the four of us entered the studio once again, and what has been ending up on tape each night is some of the most exciting and honest work we have ever created."

The full statement of the band can be read on the My Chemical Romance website, http://www.mychemicalromance.com/

He was the least emo looking one of them all... No wonder he quit.

So is this the real reason they pulled out of the Soundwave tour....?

Would have been nice if they could have been honest with people. And they should deeply apologise to Jimmy Eat World, who were thrown to the wolves having to appear between Jane's Addiction and Faith No More ( and Mike Patton's member)

It doesn't sound like he quit, it sounds like he got kicked outta the band...

This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly.

Not like it really matters. He was the least recognizable out of all the members, and seeing how they will be now going on there 3rd drummer in 4 albums, its not like there drummer was a key part in helping give them any sort of distinct sound. Oh well I just want the new album.

I wonder if this will cause any impact on their music. I'm quite interesting on seeing who will be the new guy, and knowing who is doing the drum tracks on the new songs they speak of.

This album better be released no later than Fall 2010.

He might have quit because of his wrist problems. Last year or something like that he had to drop out for a while because he was in a lot of pain. Who knows. I can't wait for this band's new album. Been waiting for three years now.

I think I only noticed him in one song (Welcome to the Black Parade) and even then it was nothing special.

Too bad the word "Drummer" is in the title, would've been a lot more interesting without it.

I think a lot of people just generally dont like this band because of the cred they get from all the little 12 year old faux-goth girls that obsess over them. But this is definitely one of the better pop-punk bands.

No, I listened to them plenty of times with an open mind. The Black Parade is one of the most trite pieces of crap I've heard in quite some time.

It's not as bad as a lot of metalheads give it, but it's not nearly as good as some of the hipsters trying to redeem it are making it out to be.
