Bryar departed the band before the video was filmed.

Chelsea: So does ‘DESTROYA’ have anything to do with him [Grant Morrison] or is it just his favourite song?

Gerard: It’s interesting, it was their favourite when we played them [Grant and his wife Kristan] the finished album. They hop over to LA sometimes too and we had them over at the studio and before we even played it for them I kinda had a feeling they were gonna love it. I remember Kristan saying “Wow that is the fucking greatest”, she loved it and they both loved it!

Mikey: They loved ‘DESTROYA’ and ‘Planetary (GO!’), those are the key jams.

Chelsea: Also at your last show in Scotland you played the track ‘DESTROYA’ for the first time live, which was dedicated to Grant Morrison. How much of an influence is he on the new album?

Gerard: Huge. He is a huge influence personally to me, too. I guess more importantly he is just a really close friend, he and his wife. I look up to them; I ask them for a lot of advice. He was a big influence on taking a chance with this record and kinda saying “Fuck it!”, but in a really good way. We are playing ‘DESTROYA’ again tonight. It’s gotten, I think, much bigger sounding.

Mikey: ‘DESTROYA’ is actually my favourite lightshow set! Grant’s one of the great thinkers and philosophers of his generation, he is one of the greats and just such a warm hearted and caring person and a huge influence on me and Gee and one of our closest friends.

 Chelsea: We asked a fan for a question and they wanted to know is Party Poison’s jacket influenced by Akira?

Gerard: Definitely! The iconography as well, I try and make it my own but it is definitely inspired by Akira.

Transmitter

Someone asked if there’s any way you can view MCR’s website at the beginning of the era. The Wayback Machine has no record of the website when the transmitter first appeared (September 2010). However, if you check the records for the transmissions page, there are several partially-working snapshots. The earliest working snapshot I could find is from June 2011. Most of the buttons don’t work (unfortunately), but you can at least view the animation and click around and get an idea of how it worked at the time.
