“Everybody brings their own heart to the band and [Frank] brought this kind of reckless passion that I think really expressed our music. He was almost kind of like this physical whirling blender like flipping and destroying everything around the stage that was an extension of exactly what we were trying to do.”

Week A, Day 1. Favourite band: Paramore 

"What motivates me is seeing people in the crowd and wondering what they're going home to and what they're dealing with, and knowing that for the time being we're their escape."

"Mikey Way, Gerard's brother ,was quiet that day. Ray Toro and Frank Iero were both polite and friendly. Frank was relaxed and cracked sharp jokes, but later in the interview he was intense and passionate. Ray was happier to take a back seat, but when he did speak it was obvious that everyone else listened and deferred to him. He seemed like the band's quiet mastermind, while Gerard seemed like its visionary. That would make Frank, I remember noting down, the beating heart." -"Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance" by Tom Bryant

“On ‘Famous Last Words’, the idea was to burn down most of the set they had used for the first video. The band would play in front of the set’s funeral pyre on a circle of dirt, as vast columns of fire erupted around them. The video would go on to look stunning- but its creation took a physical toll on at least two of the band.”

we don't care about the message or the rules they make...
