American Actors and BandsWelcome to the world that is home to the many gaymo bands, most predominantly My Chemical Romance (MCR), Panic! At The Disco (Panic!, P!ATD), Fall Out Boy (FOB), and The Academy Is... (TAI). (With appearances from Taking Back Sunday, All American Rejects, ect.)
It's hard for my to give a full summary/primer on all the bands, but I'll try.
>___>;;
EDIT; Okay, so I found this awesome journal entry that will better explain everything. Personal backgrounds, Band primers, and Quotes!

My Chemical RomanceOkay, let's introduce the guys.  From left to right, we have Bob Bryar (drums) Mikey Way (bass) Gerard Way (vocals) Ray Toro (Lead guitar) Frank Iero (Rhythm Guitar)
Okay, here is a background from Femme's Journal
MCR was formed the week after September 11, 2001 when Gerard Way, then involved in the NYC comics industry, realized that he wanted to do something that would change the world. He got together with drummer Matt Pelissier and soon after Ray Toro was added to the lineup. Gerard's brother Mikey was added to the lineup after their first demos were recorded. Mikey's the one who came up with the name My Chemical Romance, after Irvine Welsh's novel Ecstasy : Three Tales of Chemical Romance. After being signed to their first label, MCR met Frank Iero, then lead vocalist/guitarist for Pencey Prep. When Pency broke up, Frank came on board just in time to record the first album. In July 2004, after a tour of Japan, the band replaced drummer Matt Pelissier with Bob Bryar. There are conflicting stories about what happened to cause the replacement, though supposedly it was due to Matt messing up on songs. This split was not amicable and Matt doesn't seem to have kept up with any of the guys. Their 2004 album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge gained them a large amount of popularity, as did their place on the Warped Tour in 2005 (where they played alongside Fall Out Boy--and yes, the bands are very friendly). Their huge breakout has been their newest album The Black Parade.
Gerard Way You should know Gerard Way saves lives. So Gerard is this MAJOR comic book person, and he's the biggest geek ever. Like, there's an entire interview about comics, and the interviewer asks who his favorite here is, and he goes off for 5 minutes about some team I"VE NEVER HEARD OF. And at some of projekt revolution most recent dates, he's told all the guys (and ONLY the guys) to take of their shirts and throw them on stage. Frank was the first to strip. Guys. this is the GAYEST FANDOM EVER.
Frank Iero Frank is like compacted awesome-ness, hence his height of what? Around 5"5? Around there somewhere. He's a beast on stage, and he's given a couple of the members of the band stitches before. He's snarky and sarcastic and he says some seriously awesome stuff during interviews, such as "I would date Gerard." and during in interview where he was asked about his first kiss nterviewer: "First kiss, with who and where?" Crowd: "Ooooh!" Frank: *makes a face* "Oh man...it's kind of synonymous with how I met Bob, really...It was a dark, dark room; I didn't really know." Bob: "He has soft lips..." Frank: "But it was bearded! And it was weird." Interviewer: "But the question is, was he a good kisser?" Frank: "He's in the band, so..." MCR: *cracks up* Thank you, Frank. Ray
 Ray ******** THIGHS Toro. But more about that later. I love the fact that none of these guys were even remotely popular in highschool, even though that's the way it usually goes. "I wasn't popular at school. Thank God I didn't have a girlfriend or I would suck at guitar now." and "I've been left at truck stops, and I'd have to call them on my cellphone, you know, it's like, 'Hey what's up?' and they're like, 'Hey how's it going, man?' I'm like, 'you notice something's missing from the van?' OH RAY. <33
Mikey Mikey is a very lovely boy-thing, a bit awkward at times, but that just makes it better. Here: * Interviewer: "Which of your band mates is most likely to accidentally stick a fork in a toaster?" Frank: "Mikey." Interviewer: "And who would yell 'Hey! It's still plugged in!'?" Mikey: "That would be me." Gerard: "I would definitely be the one yelling. I think we're all very protective of Mikey for things like sticking forks in toasters." Frank: "It's funny because when we were recording, me and Mikey lived together and I would go to Gerard after and be like, 'I can't believe he did this today.'" Mikey: "Yeah, I would leave the tea on overnight." Frank: "God forbid that kid ever lives alone!" Gerard: "He had to promise he would watch him because he likes to do this thing where he'll take a heater into the shower and plug it in..." Frank: "Oh god!" Gerard: "...and there's water everywhere!" Mikey: "I did that one time..." Gerard: "What about the times with the radio?" Mikey: "...and I was pretty warm when I did it though." Awww, little Mikeyway is a little absent minded.
Bob Bryar Okay. Bob is sheer cool. He hates. HATES HATES HATES Cameras, so there aren't a whole lot of bob anywhere. "We like beards." (When he and Frank Iero were asked about fetishes) ((My fandom's gayer than yours. >__<)) "I'll practice my solo project. It's all songs about Gerard. *sings* Oh Gerard..." Frank: "It's called 'Gerardolopoly'" Bob: *sings* "Gerard...you make my heart burn..."

Fall Out Boy From left to Right, Andy Hurley (drums) Pete Wentz (frontman, Bass) Patrick Stump (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar) Joe Trohman (Lead Guitar)
FOB was formed in 2001 when Pete Wentz and Joe Trohman decided to put a band together (please to be noting it was Joe's idea to form FOB *g*). Joe ended up in a conversation with Patrick Stump at a Chicago Borders which ended up in Patrick eventually meeting up with Pete--while wearing shorts and an argyle sweater and black kneesocks and people this is why I love Patrick Stump with all my heart because hello, BLACK KNEESOCKS, I'm just saying. Andy Hurley was added as drummer temporarily (he's in other bands at the time) and somehow temporarily becomes permanent. They pretty much lived out of their van for a few years while touring. Their first breakout was "Sugar We're Going Down" from the From Under The Cork Tree album in 2005. From then on, their popularity grew and their latest album Infinity on High became the No. 1 album on the Billboard charts in 2007.
Pete Wentz
Guys, his smile makes my heart melt. Pete Wentz is kinda a jackass sometimes, but he and Patrick are RIDICULOUSLY BFF. There is so much love there. Q: If you were stranded on a deserted island, would you rather bring Patrick or an ipod full of your favorite songs? A: Trick question. Patrick is an ipod full of my favorite songs.
Patrick
Okay. I. I can't. I'm not even articulate when Patrick comes into the picture. He's cute (understatement) sometimes, burning hot other times, suave the next moment. And you just don't know. But I love him. Muchly. "I hear all sorts of things slung at us, one of my favorites being the boy-band accusation. I’m like, “Boy band? I’m fat! If we were a boy band, I’d look good, I’d dance, and I’d be charming – so what the f*** are you talking about?" I write the songs, that’s all I do."
Andy
 Andy is this seriously hardcore vegan who is the most extensively tattooed of all of the members. (again, more on that later.) Generally considered the smartest of the group. Andy is considered 'straight-edge'. And I love him and his tiny, drummer hips.
Joe  Joe is your general Jewish, weed smoking, video game playing, star wars loving geek. Haha, yeah. WEED. Srsly tho. He's a freaking animal on stage, Trohmania, you guys. He's hurt himself (and others) many times. Much like Frank Iero. "(On the tour with Arma Angelus’ Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley when he was only sixteen) I definitely got initiated on that tour they would rip my underwear off me everyday. I hated it, dude. I should have stopped wearing underwear."

Panic! At the disco  Left to Right; Ryan Ross (Guitar, Lyricist) Brenden Urie (Vocals, Guitar on occasion) Jon Walker (Bass) Spencer Smith (Drums)
Panic ! At The Disco was formed by Ryan Ross (guitar) and Spencer Smith (drums) with Brent Wilson on bass and Brendon Urie on vocals. The band was originally called Summer League, but switched to P!ATD after Brendon came on board. The name comes from the Smith's song Panic, and the "at the disco" comes from a line in the song burn down the disco. The group was signed by Pete Wentz after Ryan posted two songs to Pete's journal and Pete gave them a listen. He was impressed (though he says he only listened to them to tell these cocky kids where to get off), and he came out to Las Vegas to hear them play. He liked them enough to sign them to Decaydance. The band kicked Brent out in May 2006, reportedly for missing performances. Brent's now suing them for royalties. He was replaced with Jon Walker, the guitar tech from The Academy Is... In August Brendon was hit in the head by a bottle thrown by a fan and temporarily knocked out. arsenicjade wants to know where the ******** is the bottlefic, people! Hello, H/C? Panic is currently holed up in a cabin writing their second album.
Brendon Urie Brendon is a complete dork! (If you did not already now, you will after the first 2 pictures of him.) He was raised in a Mormon family that at one point kicked him out of the house when he started playing with Panic! With a job at smoothie hut, he was able to pay for a 1 bedroom apartment, he has since made peace with his family. He can be really snarky at times, and is really sarcastic in a ton of interviews, and is in general and adorable boy-thing.
Ryan Ross Ryan grew up with an alcoholic father, who died this past June. He had a lot of difficulties with his father and two of Panic's songs (Camisado and Nails For Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks) are about his relationship with his dad. Ryan's pretty quiet for the most part, and he reportedly hates his singing voice and was more than happy to let Brendon take over lead vocals. He's the lead guitarist for the band, and he has fabulous skillz with eyeliner, bringing it to the level of an art form many times. His first band was with Spencer Smith, and was called Pet Salamander. They did blink-182 covers. *G* Ryan attended UN-LV for one semester before dropping out. He was born on Aug. 30, 1986
Spencer Smith
![User Image]() Spencer Smith's smile is the future of renewable energy, you guys. He's this gorgeous boy, who sometimes has the best b***h plz face ever. He's known Ryan since they were 5 and has played in a band with him since 13. They used to do blink182 covers. And he's got a case of drummer hips, which is totally fine with me.
Jon Walker
JON WALKER IS A REAL BOY. Though really, when compared to the other members of his band, he stands out big time. Jon used to tech for The Academy Is... but after Panic! Got rid of ex-bassist Brent Wilson, he was asked to stand in for a show, then was announced the stand in bass player for the tour, then, eventually, he was announced their new bassist! And thank god! Panic ver. Jwalk just seems so much more complete. Jon makes them smile, I think. He used to work at a starbucks, and has a crazy obbsession with flip flops.

Tattoos H'okay, this post is basically just a few pictures of who I think has the most AMAZINGx32509872350 tattoos. So here goes.
Andy Hurley has two sleeves and his back covered in some of the most vibrantly color tattoo I've personally ever seen. Plus he has this whole thing where he likes to where shorts and no shirt when he's drumming, and yeah. Expose them to the world, Andy.
The Butcher (drummer for The Academy Is...) has this awesome sleeve, topped with a tree that I find very attractive.
This is Frank Iero's tinyyyyy little belly, he's got a ton of other tattoos, too, though. Like Halloween (his birthday) across his knuckles.
Pete Wentz has an array of tattoos, on his right arm, the sleeve is mostly made up of Nightmare Before Christmas, and on his left arm, he's got a Howl's Moving Castle one which I adore. (And yeah, my heart has melted.)
