Product Description:

After steadily building a committed and enthusiastic following on the back of their first two albums, "I Brought You My Bullets", "You Brought Me Your Love" (2002) and "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" (2004), MCR achieved global prominence in 2006 with the release of their platinum selling album "Welcome To The Black Parade". The band have toured extensively throughout the United States, Britain and Europe adding to their extensive fan base with incendiary, sold-out live shows that established the quintet as the emerging force in alternative rock. Having swept the board at the 2006 Kerrang! awards, winning Best Band, Best Album, Best Track, Best Video, Best Live Show, Best Thing About 2006 and with frontman Gerard Way taking the Hero of 2006 and Sexiest Male categories, the band capped their annus mirabilis with a memorable performance of 'Famous Last Words' from the top of Chicago's Pontiac Building as part of MTV's New Years Eve Special. "This Band Will Save Your Life" tells the definitive story of this groundbreaking band; examining their influences and ethos and charting their rise from obscurity to the apex of the post millennial rock pantheon. Packed with unique images of this highly visual group, this book will be a must have for the legions of Black Paraders.
