My Chemical Romance

Ok deh ini bwat Katy yang request McR:


Mcr terbentuk di New Jersey, aliran band yang satu ini bisa dibilang emo-rock(sebenarnya mereka menolak bila beraliran emo) meskipun terdapat sedikit unsur pop didalamnya. Kebanyakan lagu mereka Keras, cepat,dan Agresif,namun juga ada yang juga melodik (yah,kayak2 musik pop gitu lah).

Di awal tahun 2000, Gerard way (vokal) dan Mat Pelisier (dram) jalan bareng bwat nyiptain beberapa lagu, lagu pertama mereka adalah "Skylines and Turnstiles" (lagu yang mengisahkan perjalanan mereka di new york) dan juga serangan 9/11). Gerard dan Pelisier merasa puas pada lagu tersebut dan mulai mengajak Ray toro (gitar) untuk bergabung bersama. FOrmasi ini semakin solid dengan masuknya adik Gerard Way ,Mikey Way (bas) serta diikurti Frank Iero (gitar), Bersama, McR manggung di North East Corridor kemudian disusul dengan lahirnya albu pertama mereka.

2002, Eyeball records (perushaan rekaman indie) meluncurkan album pertama McR "I Brought You my Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" sekedar informasi, album tersebut di produseri oleh Geoff Rickly (vokalis band Thursday). McR waktu itu sering di banding2kan dengan Thursday, mereka dibanding2kan karena berbagai alasan; lirik,sama2 dari New Jersey,lirik2 yang konfessional,dan sama2 berada dibawah perusahaan rekaman yang sama. Meski begitu, Thursday bukan satu-satunya inspirasi bagi McR ,band-band yang berpengaruh besar bagi McR adalah: Morrison,The Cure,The Smashing Pumpkins, dan The Misfits.

Dilihat dari segi lirik, "I Brought you my Bullets,and You Brought Me your Love" terdengan sangat gelap, dan mencerminkan rasa sakit dan depresi yang mendalam.lagu2 nya antara lain ;"Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us," "Drowning Lessons," "Headfirst for Halos," "Our Lady of Sorrows,"disusul "Vampires Will Never Hurt You". Setahun kemudian (2003) Mcr direkrut oleh perusahaan rekaman raksasa "Warner Bros".

Album kedua yang banyak dikatakan oleh sebagian besar orang beraloran emo "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" sukses meledak dipasaran (DUAR!!heehe) dengan Hit-singlenya "helena" McR sukses konser di seluruh belahan dunia, bahkan Helena sukses jadi lagu yang paling populer dan menjadi Ballad.disusul dengan "The Ghost Of You","Im Not Okay",dan "Thank For the Venom"

Kini dengan senjata baru mereka "The Black Parade",McR seolah ingin meninggalkan kesan "emo" dalam diri mereka meskipun di album ini juga ada sedikit unsur "dark".Memang, Welcome To The Black Parade sukses dipasaran tapi menurut aku lagu2 di album ini tetap kurang "bunyi" atau kurang keras bila dibandingkan dengan 2 album sebelumnya.Dengan Personel yang kompak (belum pernah ganti) kita harapkan McR bisa lebih berkembang di album selanjutnya.

Gaara Shura

Gaara, by Ben Seery.

Gaara is the son of the Fourth Kazekage and the younger brother of Temari and Kankuro. Because of Sunagakure's decreases in funds, Gaara's father ordered Chiyo to seal the One-Tailed Shukaku within Gaara during his birth in the hopes that he would become the ultimate weapon for the village. Because a sacrifice was needed, Gaara's mother, Karura, was used. Before she died, Karura cursed Sunagakure, hoping Gaara would avenge her death.
Gaara was trained by his father, but raised mainly by his uncle, Yashamaru. Because of the power of Shukaku, the villagers of Sunagakure hated and feared Gaara, seeing him only for the monster sealed within him. For a time, Yashamaru seemed to be the only person who cared about Gaara. When Gaara would mistakenly harm others due to the subconscious abilities granted to him by Shukaku, Yashamaru would be the only one who understood that Gaara hadn't intended to harm anyone. Gaara's father, however, did not see Gaara in the same light, and viewed Gaara's frequent attacks upon villagers as a result of a failed experiment that was a threat to the village.
Because of the danger Gaara imposed, his father began sending assassins to kill him, though when all attempts met with failure, the Kazekage asked Yashamaru to kill Gaara. As a result, Yashamaru tried to assassinate Gaara, though Gaara's abilities defeated Yashamaru with ease, saddening Gaara. Although Gaara tried to dismiss Yashamaru's attack as an order of the Kazekage, Yashamaru corrected him by saying that he had willingly accepted the mission. Having never truly loved Gaara, Yashamaru hoped that killing Gaara would avenge the death of his sister, who had named Gaara after the phrase "a self-loving carnage" (我を愛する修羅, Ware wo ai suru shura?), a sign of her hate for Gaara. In a last ditch effort to kill Gaara, Yashamaru detonated a number of explosive tags covering his body, asking Gaara to, "Please die." Gaara survives the blast and loses the only person he thought had cared for him.
While Gaara had initially tried to be friendly towards others despite their fear of him, Yashamaru's actions and words changed Gaara. Realizing that nobody loved him, Gaara used his sand to create the kanji on his forehead (愛, "Love") as a symbol of a "demon loving only himself". Gaara became emotionally withdrawn, all but silent, and consumed with a bitter loathing for everyone but himself. He learned to find pleasure and eventually a reason to live in annihilating the numerous assassins sent to kill him – and by extension, anyone who threatened his existence. Gaara's insomnia, forced upon him by the fear that the demon inside him would eat away at his personality if he were to fall asleep, only furthered his instability and desire to kill. In time, Gaara's father would come to appreciate Gaara and the uses he could serve, and canceled all assassination orders in the hopes that Gaara would become an effective tool.
Gaara's childhood was somewhat similar to Naruto Uzumaki's, albeit more unfortunate due to his lack of anyone to call a friend. Both were lonely and desired to be liked, loved, and acknowledged as an individual, free of others' prejudices — they are themselves, not the demons they were forced to "contain" — and both were driven into a desperate state. While Naruto consequently developed the misconception that pranks and mischief would bring him the attention he sought, Gaara came to the conclusion that he could preserve and confirm his own existence by killing any and all who challenged it, securing an extreme form of existentialism as his key personality trait. In the absence of others' acknowledgment, he could compensate by valuing only himself to the exclusion of everyone else. Furthermore, while Naruto eventually had Iruka Umino and Team 7 to acknowledge him, Gaara never had anyone to bond with and did not understand the concept of fighting for anything other than himself until his confrontation with Naruto.
