How did you come up with your band name "My Chemical Romance"?

Gerard: It was all Mikey.

Mikey: I was at work one day, and someone left Irvine Welsh books, and on the back of one, it was talking about his genre, "Chemical romance." And we added the "my" and there ya go.

Gerard: Then Mikey, had this name and he wasn't even in the band, and we were like we need that fucking name dude.

Ray: So that's how we got Mikey in the band , we used him for his name. Haha, no no, now he's a fucking awesome bass player.

Gerard: This kid picked up the bass.

Ray: Fucking 6 months.

Gerard: Not even that! Since January he's been with us, so wait... yeah we have been together 6 months.

Is this your first interview?

Gerard: No this is our second interview. Our first interview was with "SnaggleZine," Kim and Chris who are interns for Eyeball [records], they did ourfirst interview in Garfield at a show. They asked us questions about Disney character's and stuff, it was fun.

Any new stuff coming out , that I should know of?

Gerard: July 23,2002, "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love." It's on Eyeball Records, it was recorded at Nada Studios with Geoff Rickly, John Naclerio, Alex Saavedra producing. It was really hard for me to make this album , I had a lot of problems and hospital visits.

What do you mean Hospital visits?

Gerard: I was in the hospital 5 times during recording, and I saw 7 doctors and they couldn't figure out what I had. If I had a "stroke" or facial nerve paralysis, they gave me a Catscan, ended up being a fucking tooth. It was driving me so insane, I was fucking delirious, and these people here saw me in the hotel one night.

Frank: Ha ha yeah, spit was coming out of his mouth and he was laughing maniacally, it was fucking great.

How does it feel to be on Eyeball?

Gerard: It's fucking amazing, we love it, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. So many great bands, and there's so many great bands coming out like Sleep Station.

Frank: Little Joe Could, there new album is fucking sick.

Ray: A lot of good stuff is coming out, I'm glad to be a part of it.

Frank how does it feel to be a new band member of My Chemical Romance, after the break up of Pencey Prep? How do you feel?

Frank: It's like your a fan of a band and one day they ask you to be in it and you get to be a part of it. I'm like a fucking kid up on stage, it's like the fucking shit.

Gerard: Having him up there I felt so complete, and that's why it made it so much easier, it felt like all like a fucking unit, like another person to throw out energy, it was fucking incredible, I love it.

Frank, I have to ask you about your hair, what the fuck is up with your hair?

Frank: It was suppose to be dread locks, but I'm a white kid so it's just there. It's fucking itchy and sucks.

So when are you going to shave your head?

Frank: I have a horrible shaved head, it comes into a cone.

Gerard: Ha ha, his hair is fuck'n great.

Ray: Like really.

Frank: I think that's the only reason they asked me to be in the band.

Gerard: Mikey is trying the James Dean hair, I'm trying the wolverine hair, it's working.

Mike why don't you ever eat?

Gerard: When he was a kid he was so fat.

Mikey: But I eat food though.

Ray: He eats Pizza Hut, he eats Popeyes.

Gerard: Century Buffet, I was there and this kid here ate a lot, if the kid wants to eat he eats.

Mikey: I ate my weight in sushi today.

Gerard: Like this kid just dropped so much weight one day and now he's skinny as hell. I use to be like 250 pounds.

Frank: We were all fat kids at once, we were all fucking fat.

Gerard: It's good now.

Ray: See how Matt's staying quiet.

Matt: Shut up, I'm 250
