Gerard Way, frontman of emo-rockers My Chemical Romance, has confessed that he can never ‘leave or escape’ his band – despite how ‘burnt-out’ or uninspired he may get.
Speaking to Music-News, Way revealed that him and his bandmates are now more up for writing, recording and performing than ever before and that they’re a far-cry away from their exhausted and almost burnt-out former selves.
“Going on 10 years now we love being in the band,” Way told the site. “It's something you can never leave or escape or get away from, and that's a great thing.” He then went on to admit that the band was enjoying working on their latest album, saying: “The cool thing is we've spent a lot of time writing new material on the road this time. We didn't do that before 'Danger Days…”
He continued: “I think [it's down to] just not being burnt out. Really enjoying and connecting with making music again, just being inspired, whereas after [their third album] 'The Black Parade' we weren't inspired to do much at all besides disappear.”
Way has previously spoken about the album, claiming that the new record won’t just be a random group of songs.
“It can't just be a collection of songs. It's never going to be 'Oh, we had these 12 songs so record it real quick and we'll put them out!'. I don't think anyone can really do that these days without some sort of thought or vision behind it. I think the days of just filling the time and putting a disc out is over, and I'm glad, because those are some of my least favourite records.”
