Mikey Way

Michael James Way (born September 10, 1980) is the bass guitarist for the band My Chemical Romance and is the younger brother of frontman Gerard Way.

Personal life

Michael James Way was born in Belleville, New Jersey. [1] Mikey and his older brother, Gerard, are maternal second cousins of Joe Rogan, host of the NBC work show and former cast member of the sitcom News Radio.[1]

Mikey is bassist of the band My Chemical Romance, and 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] 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.

Mikey got married to Alicia Simmons on March 7, 2007.
