Mikey Way

Mikey Way, born Michael James Way, on September 10, 1980 in Newark, New Jersey, where he grew up. He is the younger brother of Gerard Way, (whom he has a very close relationship with, and is also He is Scottish - Italian, like his brother). Way is related to Joe Rogan, Host of the NBC game/stunt show Fear Factor and former cast member of the sitcom News Radio (Joe is Mikey's mother's cousin's son).
Childhood

Growing up, Way worked for Barnes & Noble, in addition to being an intern at Eyeball Records (the company that put out My Chemical Romance's debut album, I brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love in 2002). The first concert he ever went to was a Smashing Pumpkins concert.

My Chemical Romance

Mikey is the bassist of the band My Chemical Romance and only learned bass in order to play in his brother's band, as well as dropping out of college. He plays both A Highway 1 Precision Bass, and a Fender Standard Precision Bass. Mikey was also responsible for the band's name, which came from an Irvine Welsh novel Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance. He and Gerard's grandmother happened to buy them their first tour van. During the first show My Chemical Romance played, Mikey drank a lot of liquor to mask his extreme stage fright.
Injuries

Mikey is nearsighted and is a recovering iPod junkie. He currently loves the band Anthrax, Schlock horror films, and sushi, claiming he could eat his body weight in it. Mikey has been pretty lucky, considering the only injuries he's ever gotten were liver damage, broken toes (an epic battle with a brick wall), and multiple respiratory infections, as well as being bassist in the top-charting band, "My Chemical Romance".

On April 23, 2007, it was announced that Mikey will temporarily leave My Chemical Romance to spend time with Alicia. Mikey's brother Gerard said on My Chemical Romance's website that "The band has decided to give him and his wife a much needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all the things a newlywed couple should do. I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive. I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continue to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life." Mikey's temporary replacement is Matt Cortez, a guitar technician, and friend of the band. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands before a show at the Heineken Music Hall on June 5th 2007, Gerard revealed to a fan that he expected Mikey to return to the band in time for the Projekt Revolution tour.
