My Chemical Romance ‘miss being a rock band’
My Chemical Romance are set to start work on a “punk rock” album this year. Singer Gerard Way explained why he wanted to par the band’s sound down for their next record, the follow-up to 2006’s ‘The Black Parade’. Speaking about a new song the band began playing live in November, Way said: “It’s one of those songs that just spills out of you, and you’re very inspired. It’s nice because it’s a return to punk rock music. It feels like a rock song.” Way explained that, having done away with their theatrical stage show on their most recent dates, album number four would most likely follow suit. “I think it will definitely be stripped down. I think the band misses being a rock band. That doesn’t mean we won’t explore really crazy ideas on the next albums, or do something even crazier. It doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll start to take steps backwards creatively. But it felt in a live sense, this is what we do great. We’re better musicians for having written and played ‘The Black Parade’. We can now cut loose more.”
