Personal life
Mikey Way was born in Newark, New Jersey, USA.[1] Mikey and Gerard are maternal second cousins of Joe Rogan, host of the NBC game/stunt show Fear Factor and former cast member of the sitcom News Radio.[1] He is of Scottish and Italian descent.[1] He came up with the band's name, taken from the book Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance, by Irvine Welsh, while working at a Barnes and Noble bookstore in Clifton, New Jersey.[1] Mikey had been working in the music section of the store, and had decided to take out the books to discuss with a co-worker. Early on in My Chemical Romance's career, it was said that Way learned bass in order to be able to play in the band, which lacked a bassist at the time[1]. But during interviews with Way in their DVD release, Life on the Murder Scene, Mikey claims that he had been an amateur musician since he was young and was in bands as a bassist before MCR. He plays a Highway one Precision Bass and a Fender Standard Precision Bass, among others.[2]
Mikey Way had been known for his trademark glasses to correct his nearsightedness, but had Lasik eye surgery and no longer wears them. [1]
On March 7, 2007, Mikey married his fiancée Alicia Simmons backstage at the Orleans Arena, Las Vegas after the band's show that evening.[3] The couple were married by James Dewees, who was ordained as a minister in order to perform the ceremony. His brother Gerard was his best man, since there were rules preventing him from having all the other band members as his best men. [4]
Sabbatical
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 newly-wed 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.[citation needed] 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 European tour dates in November. Mikey and his wife have also been seen recently watching a Project Revolution show in NY.
(born September 10, 1980), most commonly known as Mikey Way, is the bass guitarist for the alternative rock band My Chemical Romance and is the younger brother of frontman Gerard Way.
