  1. Hey Travis! Good job on the blog so far. My Chemical Romance is a great band, if I had to pick a favourite song by them, it would have to be “welcome to the black parade”. The music video for that song is pretty cool too. Anyways, keep up the good work! :]

  2. Don't forget to add your opinion on their music. Be careful giving us just the facts. If that's what we wanted, we'd look it up on Wikipedia.
