The band's current lineup consists of lead vocalist Gerard Way, lead guitarist Ray Toro, rhythm guitarist Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way. They are considered one of the most influential rock groups of the 2000s and a major act in the pop-punk and emo genres, despite the band rejecting the latter label.

Tributes flow for the key member of the emo band's seminal lineup.
"Let Creators Create. Have your people stop calling my people."
“I can wait for you at Bikini Bottom…” or whatever Bad Omens said.
“It’s as if the bass jumped straight from my dreams into reality..."
"It's a lot of responsibility when someone asks you to participate in the writing process of a song like that, you know? So it's something I don't take lightly..."
In a perfect storm of catharsis, it was an evening of mutual devotion, fierce passion, and an understanding that music can save you.
The band's debut album, Past Lives, is out on 11 November.
The emo supergroup features members of My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Circa Survive and Coheed & Cambria.
