tHE Start of MCR

Before My Chemical Romance

Ray was playing in a small, local, short-lived band called Dead Go West as a drummer. When Gerard found this out when he asked him to be in MCR, this made him upset because he believed that Ray was the best guitar player.

What was he working on with the band?

He was working with the rest of the band on their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. They were working on this from 2001-2003.

What did he look like?

Ray still had short hair and glasses at this time. He still looked almost the same as how he did in high school except for his hair, which had grown out a little bit.
