It is
My Chemical Romance day at the
Warner Bros. Records complex in Burbank, California.
The band –
Gerard Way,
Frank Iero,
Ray Toro and
Mikey Way – are gathered out in front of the sprawling WB campus. Some kind of 4-wheel drive is parked nearby and they’re all eagerly leaning in to look inside.
Did Ray get a new guitar? Is it some promotional item in support of their new album,
Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys? No, it’s nothing at all to do with rock and roll. Guitarist
Frank Iero has just had twin baby girls and he’s brought the new arrivals along. The infants are both impossibly beautiful and identical looking – though they are fraternal – and the MCR guitar player is grinning ear-to-ear like any new daddy would. The babies are wheeled inside, seated peacefully in a double front-and-back stroller. All the Warners employees ooh and ahh. Against the left wall of the lobby is a huge photograph of the band in their 2019 Killjoys outfits.
Frank’s wife finds a quiet corner to be with her newborns while her husband and the other three My Chem guys slowly file into one of the conference rooms. The office has been turned into a live set with cameras, mixing board, and a couch to accommodate the quartet. They are all in justifiably great moods: the band have just given birth to not only a new and impeccably performed album but their very own guitar player has brought into the world his very own baby rockers.
Here, then, 13 minutes with
My Chemical Romance.
