What was happening in your personal life during the recording sessions for Danger Days?
Gerard: Me and Lindsey [Way’s wife, artist Lindsey Ann Ballato] had a child; we went through this odyssey. We weren’t [being] fearless. I told her, “I haven’t made this special thing,” and she really encouraged me to realize that I was an artist. She said, “You’re an art kid, in a rock band, but you’re an artist; that is what you do. You were making a record like a guy in a rock band, and that is not you.” That signified the change, and I then got fearless. I wanted to make this crazy song with drums and nonsense digital sounds. I wanted it to be a poisonous album, I want it to contaminate things. I want the album to have this infiltration quality, this neurotoxin quality. All the noises, all the digital sounds, I wanted it to feel like a feel like a fun disease, like a drug. And it was my rebellion against 30-something rock culture. This rocks way harder; it captured the spirit of everything we wanted to do the first time but hadn’t achieved.
In 2011: My Chemical Romance released the single "Every Snowflake is Different (Just Like You)" as part of the "Yo Gabba Gabba!" episode "A Very Awesome Christmas". (🖤)

I was thinking about how I know nothing about my chem’s drummer like. he’s up there rocking out every show doing amazing but I literally don’t know his name. he’s just a dude. I like it that way. it’s already too much that I love these 4 men profoundly, I don’t have room in my head to know 1 fact about another man lol
no truly jarrod seems like such a nice guy and awesome musician which is exactly why we all need to continue to ignore him bc as soon as we start talking about him the Fifth Member Curse will activate
During my search for what kind of shirt to try to make for my Halloween costume I found an archive of mcr merch that someone made a while back (very impressive btw) and in the folder of revenge era shirts I found THIS
a STIGMATA shirt?!?!?! As official merch????!?!??!?!!! Which was made before Unholyverse was written!?!?!!!?!?!???! Which begs the question: did bexless know about this merch and was the fic partially inspired by this shirt? Or just the shitty 90s movie (which I haven’t watched but saw the trailer for and went NOPE)? I have so many questions…
Gerard: "When I am singing, I have a ton of room and reverb in my ears, because traditionally, when doing shows, I am just hearing the room. I am so accustomed to that. I want to feel like I am in a theater in the studio."
