Mikey is related to Joe Rogan, Host of the NBC game/stunt show Fear Factor and former cast member of the sitcom News Radio (Joe is Mikey's mother's cousin's son). The first concert he ever went to was a Smashing Pumpkins concert.The younger Way's trademark was his glasses, but that all changed in May of 2006. Mikey got Lasik eye surgery that corrected his nearsightedness and made the glasses superfluous. He no longer wears glasses.

My Chemical Romance

Mikey is the bassist of the band My Chemical Romance, and only learned bass in order to play in his brother's band. He dropped out of college for the sole purpose of playing in My Chemical Romance He plays both A Highway 1 Precision Bass, and a Fender Standard Precision Bass. Mikey was also responsible for the band's name, which came from an Irvine Welsh novel Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance. He and Gerard's grandmother, Elena, happened to buy them their first tour van. Before he joined My Chemical Romance, Mikey auditioned for Frank Iero's (rhythm guitarist for My Chemical Romance) band, Pencey Prep. He did not make the cut. During the few first shows My Chemical Romance played, Mikey drank liquor heavily to mask his extreme stage fright. Today, Mikey resides with Frank when the band is recording.

Interest

His favorite food is sushi and claims that he could eat his body weight in it. Schlock horror films are his absolute favorite. Mikey loves unicorns. He has a pet cat named Bunny Marie Way whom he loves. Bunny has a myspace. On the opposite hand, he hates small spaces, large and open spaces, and shopping for groceries.

Personal Life

Mikey is engaged to Alicia Simmons. The rumored wedding date is said to May 17th, 2007, but this is strictly an Internet rumor. Simmons is a guitar tech and merch seller among other things.
