They also apparently have a new shirt from Summer Sonic. "Straight from the Summer Sonic Show! Ridin' Out is the first out of 4 Limited Edition Summer Sonic T-shirts. 100% cotton heather red slim fit t-shirt. This shirt is a one time pressing, and only 200 available at the MCR.com store."

My Chemical Romance recently played a show at the Roxy in LA – but it wasn’t what many were expecting. No makeup and grandiose set props this time – instead of coming out in a coffin, MCR’s front man Gerard Way looked more like Stevie Ray Vaughn with his slick rocker jacket.

Now I’m not one to advocate music and fashion, but the sound wasn’t far off. According to Rolling Stone MCR “ditched their goth-meets-Sgt. Pepper outfits and blasted through three concise, Stooges-influenced songs from their new album, due in 2010.”

Way even said “If people want to return to Castle Dracula every time they listen to My Chemical Romance, they’re going to be really disappointed. We’re making a rock & roll record.”

I’m pumped for this one – I always thought MCR was heavily R&R influenced anyway, and didn’t really buy into the whole goth thing with them. Their guitarist has incredible rock/metal sensibility in his solos, and you can hear hints of Metallica/Van Halen and even SRV in there fighting to come out. I’m looking forward to hearing My Chemical Romance blaze through some steady Rock & Roll.
