The band has been touring in support of its 2006 million-selling disc "Welcome to the Black Parade."

The concept record about a terminally ill, deathbed-trapped young man gazing back on his unremarkable life debuted at no. 2 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart in November. It was named Best CD of 2006 by Honolulu Advertiser entertainment writer Derek Paiva.

In his December 2006 review Paiva wrote, " 'Welcome to the Black Parade" is one of the most unabashed rock 'n' roll love letters ever written to rock fans by rock fans. ... Pick a track, any track. Then try to figure out which of its musical heroes My Chemical Romance is channeling — and sometimes outright stealing from. Instead of falling face first on its classic-rock-geek CD collection, My Chemical Romance triumphs with a fearless sound fully embracing 'where'd-I-hear-that-before?' musical teases while keeping things wholly original."

My Chemical Romance's last Honolulu concert was at Pipeline Cafe on Feb. 15, 2005.
