Frank Iero

Frank Anthony Iero (born October 31, 1981) is the rhythm guitarist for the band My Chemical Romance. He was recruited to fill out the band's sound when his own band, Pencey Prep, broke up. Iero grew up in Belleville, New Jersey and attended Rutgers University for a short time before dropping out. In addition to Pencey Prep, Iero played with Hybrid, Sector 12, and briefly with I Am A Graveyard. Frank Iero used to suffer from Epstein-Barr virus, and battled pneumonia throughout his childhood.

My Chemical Romance

He currently is the rhythm guitarist for My Chemical Romance, and is the newest (and youngest) member of the band. He plays an Epiphone Les Paul Elite Series and uses Marshall JCM900 and Sun Cabinet Amps. He was recruited after the band decided they needed another guitarist (in addition to Ray Toro) to fill out the sound. He also dropped out of college (and another band, "Pencey Prep") to pursue the band full time.
