(At the MTV ceremony, Usher met the band and called their lead singer "Steve" [3]). Their third (and most recent) single from the album is "The Ghost of You". On March 21, 2006, MCR plans on releasing, Life on the Murder Scene which will be a DVD giving a behind-the-scenes look at their rise to fame.

My Chemical Romance's popularity has spread internationally particularly in both the UK and Australia (they played two shows with Green Day and Jimmy Eat World in Sydney and Melbourne and a show in Brisbane in December 2005). They also were the start-up band for Green Day on their American Idiot tour.
