Gerard in Rock Sound

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
Interview: Andrew Kelham

Have you thought about how My Chemical Romance will reintroduce themselves to music fans in 2010? Do you ever wonder if your band is still needed in music?
Says Gerard Way (vocals):
"It's funny because the musical landscape is ever changing, but I think there's always a place for us and I think we're absolutely needed, especially now. I don't say that with any arrogance, I just really believe in my band and I believe that our band does what it does better than anybody else. There's no one that can do this like us. I feel a gap when we are gone and I hope people do too, if they don't then we're not doing our job properly. I think we're absolutely needed, but I'm glad we're coming back in 2010 because, as much as people need us, I think they needed a break from us too. I hope we got the balance of that right."

What have you tried to achieve with your forthcoming fourth album? How is it different from you past work?
"With this record we tried to ignore all the cosmetic nonsense and focus on becoming a truly great rock band. We felt that the world needed a really straight and pure rock band, you're hard pressed to find a lot of those these days. It was less about the theatricality and more about how we become the greatest young American rock band musically."

How are you adapting to fatherhood?
"It's great, it's amazing. Obviously we just wanted a healthy baby, but I was excited to have a girl as there are things I can see myself helping a girl with that I could never do with a guy, things like picking out clothes and stealing eyeliner, all that sort of stuff!"

Mod note: As happy and excited as we are that people are starting to discuss and converse in the comments, we'd like to remind everyone to play nicely.

OMG U GUYS NEED TO STFU

-___-

Why? There are lots of intelligent people talking about things that matter to them. If these things don't matter to you, allowing other people to carry on the discussion doesn't really affect you.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

maybe there should be a community where people can analyze and dissect everything gerard says.

[ciel-vert.livejournal.com]

Apparently this is it. Which is just fine. The members of any community tend to decide what will happen in said community.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

ooh ok. i guess i'll have to (silently) ~deal with people's discussions.

[ciel-vert.livejournal.com]

Yes you will. Unless you'd care to join them.

[jezrana.livejournal.com]

Or maybe you could just ignore discussions you're not interested in, since no one's forcing you to participate.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

okay, i will from now on.

SRY IF I HURT YOUR FEELINGS

[jezrana.livejournal.com]

I'll live, I'm sure.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

\o/

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that's this one. If we weren't meant to discuss things here, they would turn off comments and just pass along the information. This kind of discussion is inherent to communities of this nature (see icecreamhdaches).

Edited for typing fail.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's true.

HAVE FUN AND ALL THAT :D

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

I really AM having fun, actually. I find this kind of discussion fascinating and helpful. :D

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

that is AWESOMEEEEEE

[thebiologicshow.livejournal.com]

Hahah I love this comment.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

where is bob in your icon?! D:

[thebiologicshow.livejournal.com]

I don't know! :( I was trying to find another icon like it with Bob but I couldn't. Here's a Bob icon, though!

[jubella.livejournal.com]

Nah.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

wut are you saying "nah" to?

[jubella.livejournal.com]

Your comment?

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

you don't think there should be a community for analyzing shit gerard says?

[jubella.livejournal.com]

No, but if you want to start one, by all means, go ahead.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

i also have no desire to start said community. i'll be on my way now!

[mistersandbox.livejournal.com]

PMS?

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

Not entirely certain what you're implying here, bb. I don't think it's right to stifle a valid discussion that, on the whole, remained civil and thought-provoking. That has nothing to do with whether or not anybody doing the discussing might be experiencing PMS.
