A few inside quotes from…
My Chemical Romance. Oh yesh.
About: The Band/ Their Music
Frank- “Nah, [Mikey] gets outta my way when I perform… the kid’s like a jaguar!”
Gerard- “All your quirks, all your problems, even your depressions and your failures, that’s what makes you you.”
Mikey- “With any song, the minuite I hear it, it brings me back somewhere immediately… I want this to be just like that… I want it to be important enough for people to hear it and it… be a moment in time, like a milestone.”
Gerard- “I want people to want to live after they hear [The Black Parade]. That’s the main thing. I really want people to want to live. I want them to express themselves however they want, to not be ashamed of what they are, to not be afraid of what they are, to really face their fears. I think this record is really about facing fears. I want them to have fun with it too, seriously, it’s a really fun record, I want them just to have a lot of fun.”
Ray- {Before a show,} We used to do 50 jumping jacks, but we’ve kinda been scaling it back…
Bob- We started at 25, and then we went up to like, by the end of the last tour, 80! And then we got to Reading and Leeds and we were like: Ah… Let’s just do 15.
