[edit] Image

Please do not post user editted images of Frank. We want formal photos I believe. (Aspen Coles 21:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Frank Iero

Frank Iero is deathly afraid of spiders its says so in an interview. I will put the link on tomorrow - Gerard's wifey! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.218.191 (talk) 04:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Is Frank still with Jamaia? I noticed he wears a ring on his wedding finger...he's not married, is he? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.33.121.174 (talk • contribs) .

Yes He Is Sorry!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.193.100.236 (talk • contribs) .

Frank just recently mentioned her in an interview ( this month, october 2006 ), and Gerard said they would be taking a break after this (long) tour to buy houses and have kids [1]. I don't think she's going anywhere. Her name is also "Jamia."--Jude 05:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I just read that very article. It doesn't actually state that its FRANK specifically. Besides the interview is with Way, and he seems to only say that statement about buying houses and having kids as a general "Were going to live our lives" statement. -Lindsey8417 21:51, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I was refering to two different interviews: One on video and the other in AP! The one on video Frank mentions that his fiancee "turns him on." Because the lady asked what turned them on. The second article was in AP, where Gerard Way ( as you said ) stated they would take a break for families and houses, but he meant the whole band, not just himself.--Jude 05:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


The statement, "Frank is very, very hot." is obviously with bias and as such should be removed. 172.132.156.111

I agree with said statement!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.193.100.236 (talk • contribs) .

He is taller than 5'3".....i am 5'5" and i reach to his eyebrows.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.56.55.100 (talk • contribs) .

He is 5'4 right?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.193.100.236 (talk • contribs) . Frankie's 5'4"......... thats correct... he is

Whats with the last part about Gerard Killing him that is tottaly stupid whoever wrote that is a moron that has no life! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.100.236 (talk • contribs)


he he still sick? isnt he better and joining the band again?

i took out the part of mcr postponing their australia tour dates, because they didnt. plus i added that frank re-joined the band for the big day out because he has and they've already played together in auckland and the gold coast =] --lauren 01:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC) HOW LONG WILL THE BREAK BE! I WANT THEM I CANT COPE WITHOUT THEM!

[edit] Marital Status

Do we even know for certain that he and Jamia are married? I was under the impression they were just engaged, as he's only referred to her as his fiancee. and if Mikey's page can't have Alicia Simmons on it even though they are engaged then Frank's should have the same restrictions. Just a thought..I don't do much here so if you disagree no worries.72.164.60.199 16:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm an admin here, and have been watching this page for a number of months, mostly reverting true vandalism and badly formatted junk. That said, the thing about Jamia is something I'm mostly staying out of. The issue of whether he has a GF/fiancee/wife, and who she is, has been a slow boil edit war on this page for months, with it being changed several times a week. I have no idea personally which is true, and do not really care. But people keep changing the factoid.
Hmm. As I'm writing this and thinking about this, I'm thinking that, for a WP:BLP page, we have an unsourced fact that is being constantly changed. I'm inclined to say that, if someone cannot provide a source for the fact of his marital status, the factoid should be totally removed.
So, with WP:BLP as a policy to follow, I'm going to remove the marital status factoid entirely. Please do not restore it unless you can provide a reliable sourcing for the information. - TexasAndroid 16:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


Frank stated in an interview with a New Zealand radio show called "The Edge" (I think it's a radio show, I'm not sure) that he and Jamia were engaged. It was done shortly after the premier of "Welcome To The Black Parade". If you'd like, I could either type or find a transcription of it. 24.161.133.145 01:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)janet

I'm sorry, but typing up a transcript yourself will not meet WP:RS which is what is needed. We need sourcing to show the fact. Sourcing to meet the requirements of WP:RS. I really have no idea if he is engaged myself, nor do I care. But I do care about the fact that this factoid has been edit warred over so much here on this article. If the factoid (along with his height and name pronunciation) cannot be sourced, then they really have no place on the article at all. - TexasAndroid 15:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


They married in March of 2008. I'm not sure of the date, but I'm positive they're married, and there are rumors of a baby coming. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The proud pansy (talk • contribs) 16:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Find sources that pass WP:RS, and add it back. Without them, it's just rumor. Myspace and facebook down not count. - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Is photographic proof enough? http://mychemicalfreak.com/2008/03/10/frank-and-jamias-wedding-photos/ Jamia and Frank have been together for a long time (since high school), and have been living and working together for a long time, too. They got married March 9th, 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.45.121 (talk) 21:31, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] F.I.F.

Frank has his own (not owned BY him) fansite on www.myspace.com. It was the FIRST known fansite dedicated to Frank Iero. It was made Febuary 26, 2006, and is turning a year old. The fansite is owned by Josie (aka JosieDeth). www.myspace.com/frankierofans Pansy Lover 19:36, 17 February 2007 (UTC)Ashley Punketa


Somehow, I sincerely doubt this. The band formed five years before that, I'm sure he has had a fansite in that time. This sounds like someone just trying to promote their own site. (Aspen Coles 11:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC))

I concur with Aspen. That seems a little off to me.--JUDE talk 18:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Its the First Known Fansite on Myspace.com
  • Although the band formed 5 years before that Frank joined in 2004**, which is why the fanisite was made a bit late. This is not promoting someone's own fansite, it is just showing you a place where you can also appreiciate and talk about Frank Iero and learn new facts about him.


I figured I should put this in, I know this is an old page but Frank was amrried this year to Jamia Nestor(sp) on March 9th, 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.226.212 (talk) 18:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frank is sick again...

friday night, he was sent home about half way through the concert again due to his Epstein-Barr virus. Thik this should be added again? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MCRluvr (talk • contribs) 06:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Apparently his guitar tech, Matt Cortez filled in for him because he got food poisoning? Trying to find some reliable sources for it, as for above. CattleGirl talk | sign! 01:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
There was a video floating around on the MCRmy forums, but that's not a source on wikipedia right? I guess we'll have to wait until it's in print somewhere.--JUDE talk 17:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I saw a video too... but so far I can't find any reliable printed sources. CattleGirl talk | sign! 04:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Epstein-Barr and engagement

I'm sure I read on here that Frank had Epstein-Barr Virus but this doesn't seem to be there anymore. I remember the old MCR site said he had had mono but obviously that's not there anymore.

Since he's been getting ill recently I wondered, I've heard a few people on fansites saying "he's ill again because of his EBV" and somesuch, although I suppose that might come back to here.

Also, he and Jamia are believed to be engaged since he has a tattoo of an eagle holding an engagement ring with "L.A. 5.25.06" on his upper right arm. Jane Gibson 19:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I read somewhere that it was epstein barr, but lately it's been all different illnesses, like the food poisoning, the wisdom teeth, etc.
They are engaged, Frank said so himself in a Swedish (?) chat. There's a text version of the chat on Livejournal here. CattleGirl talk | sign! 04:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I read that one, they're so sweet! It's when people on deviantArt start saying that "maybe Frank went home from the tour because his wife was pregnant and had the baby" that you really have to wonder about the state of the fandom... Can we source the Geoff Rickly food poisoning statement? Otherwise it technically should be removed but in a way I prefer it to be there to clear up some of the crazier rumours. thefunkygibson 14:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

frank said himself in an interview with kerrang magazine that he had to leave a concert early because of food poisoning, and he does also suffer from epstein barr syndrome which weakens his immune system and that is why he is always sick. he is not married, but engaged, and is due to be married in march, 2008

frank is getting married?

As said before, he's engaged, and getting married next year. CattleGirl talk | sign! 22:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations? We don't need no stinking citations...

I see that the only reference on here is imnotokay.net, which is only a fans site and not a primary source of information. I noticed that imnotokay.net is used as a reference in all the MCR articles, in spite of the fact that it's all speculation and gossip and is also really badly written. What's up with that?

I think in this case imnotok.net will be fine- it's probably the most trusted fan site out there, and also the most cited. Of course, it would be much better to have additional sources backing it up.
Although it's not written formally, the information follows what the band members themselves have said, so I regard it as reliable. But yes- we do need something else. CattleGirl talk | sign! 07:48, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Incorrect Grammar, and other issues.

I've noticed his last name is spelt 'lero', with a regular 'l'... AFAIK, the 'l' should be capitalised, as it's a name. I also might add, the Trivia section was recently removed from the Gerard Way article. I feel that a trivia section on a factual biography of a living person is unnecessary. Unconscious 11:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

My apologies about the Iero confusion. I'm not used to this found, and I thought it was a lower-cased 'L', it was an honest mistake. Unconscious 17:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

It says that Frank Iero had dreadlocks while in Pensey Prep. The band's actual name is not Pensey Prep, it is Pencey Prep

[edit] Parents

I think this point, currently under Trivia, should be included at the beginning somewhere, and also:

"Frank's parents' names are Anthony (Cheech) and Linda. Linda was featured in the song "Mama" off the band's third studio album, The Black Parade."

^^Is there a source for this? isn't Lisa Minelli the female vocals towards the end of 'Mama'?? :S

Mz.Kiedis 20:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the album booklet now...
According to this, Linda Iero, Donald James and Donna Lee Way are all guest vocalists with Liza Minelli who acts as Mother War.
Trying to figure out when they sing... maybe the chanting bit near the end? Not sure... hm. It also says that Cheech played additional percussion on Welcome to the Black Parade. CattleGirl talk 08:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

According to imnotokay.net Frank grew up with his mum linda who divorced his dad who was a big influence on him also that he has been playin in bands since he was 11 years old he also dropped out of college to join MCR that it is said on inotokay.net and life on the murder scence (i cant spell) i not a signed user because even tho i come here alot i dont think i bein doin alot of editin --81.154.191.82 20:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Liza Minelli was in fact the female vocals in the song "Mama" off of The Black Parade. I recently watched an interview with Gerard Way on FUSE and he talked about that one subject for like 5 minutes of the half hour!

[edit] Dogs

Shouldn't it say what KIND of dogs he has too under the trivia part? I know he has a pug if that helps. But some people want to know what kind of dogs Frank has.

[edit] News!

I just read in www.imdb.com that Frank is married- since February this year! Can anybody confirm this? 9(User:FendiCatz]]

No, I think that's Mikey (can't remember the month though). Mikey's married, Frank and Gerard are engaged. Hm, I just looking on Imdb [2]... that's really weird, normally they're accurate. Pretty sure I heard him say he was getting married early next year. CattleGirl talk 07:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to stress again. Unless his marital status can be very well sourced, it has no place on the page, and will be removed each and every time it is placed. WP:BLP is in play on this article, and the past continual edit wars over factoids about his GF/fiancee/wife has definitely shown this to be a controversial subject. If someone can source the marital factoid, then it is welcome to stay. But as long as it is just rumor, etc., it has no place on the page. - TexasAndroid 11:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IERO's kids

frank iero has 3 young boys called Geoff, Mark and Liam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Equasym2000 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

i doubt it. ~~ justicemanlulz —Preceding comment was added at 03:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Got sources for that? Probably not.. because Iero definetly does not have three kids. He's super young and really doesn't have time for kids at the moment - I don't think any MCR members have any children. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.226.183.1 (talk) 17:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

franks name is not "Franklin Anthony Thomas Iero " could someone change it please thanks Lizz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.38.121.254 (talk) 19:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marriage

Just a heads up to say that the Bouncing Souls posted a genuine Myspace bulletin saying they played at Frank and Jamia's wedding (on 9th March I think), and although there won't be any proper sources for a while, I'd expect at least a few edits about this.

Text of bulletin:

Hey Everybody! Me, Pete and Bryan are at Bryan's place in Ny today workin on some new tunes and learning a Johnny Cash song for a compilation. We have some great new ideas that are gonna turn into some sweet tunes.

Yesterday we all enjoyed celebrating the wedding day of our good friend Frank from My Chemical Romance to his beautiful wife Jamia. It was a fine family gathering which ended up in us singing a couple of Frank's fav Souls songs. Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio jumped up to sing along to an acoustic version of Night On Earth. He also did 3 of his songs on acoustic. Acoustic Skiba = goosebumps.

Congratulations to Frank to Jamia and much Love to you both.

Have a Good Day All, The Souls

thefunkygibsonT¤C 00:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

TBH I don't think any of the bulletin belongs on here, certainly the verification of Franks wedding deserves a place in the article, but ultimately the bulletin itself is alot of excess. For example, I don't even have a clue who the Bouncing Souls are.
So I'm gonna take it out for the time being, if you disagree please say!
Kokiri kid (talk) 06:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm not totally sure what you mean there - I didn't add it to the article, I was just posting that and the bulletin on the talk page so that anyone looking to remove any edits about the wedding (as has been done in the past because of vandalism, I think) would be able to see that there was actually some proof of it, even if not a wiki Reliable Source. I wasn't suggesting it should be added at all.
Oooooh wait I just checked the History and I see why you're posting... my bad! I agree that it shouldn't be there but we definitely need to get it sourced asap. (The Bouncing Souls are an ok band, not my kind of thing, but they're one of Frank's all time fave bands it seems and he goes to their gigs and has played with them a few times. ^_^) thefunkygibsonT¤C 22:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Cheers and thanks for not jumping down my throat like alot of people would have ;) Kokiri kid (talk) 05:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Okay For Frank's project Leathermouth, i believe the album is called "Like Noise" and will be released some time this summer

[edit] A new band

I've heard from a site that Frank has formed a new band... a The Cure tribute band.. called The Love Cats? http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u302/mychemfan27/amomenttobitch.jpg <~ a poster
