Eins Live: "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" was a milestone in the emo-area. Did you have the feeling that your next album had to be a kind of a riddance?
Gerard: Definitely! But first: We've never seen ourselves as an emo-band. After we'd played our first shows, we were pushed that way. "Three Cheers" was a milestone for what I'd call a teen culture. But we are a band that is permanently evolving and as artists we had to grow.
Frank: We didn't want to record a second "Three Cheers". That wouldn't be a holdup, instead it'd be another step backwards. That's why we wanted to tear all boundaries and restrictions down that we'd worked with for "Three Cheers" and put up ourselves, which other people wanted to impose on us later on.
Eins Live: With "The Black Parade", there are always comparisons to stuff like Pink Floyd's "The Wall" or "A Night At The Opera" by Queen. What do you think about such comparisons?
Gerard: It would be arrogant to say that we're on a similar level. We were inspired by them. Our own album is a tribute to such classic rock albums. I wouldn't even consider it a rock opera.
Frank: It's a concept album with a very integrated subject. Both, "The Black Parade" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" are very similar. Those comparisons show, that we've done a great job. But we're far away from being on a similar level.
Gerard: You have to see it this way: Right now, people think about such classic albums while listening. Our album has just been released though. Pink Floyd and Queen made their records for the eternity, while "The Black Parade" still has to persist over the years to have the potential to be compared to them.
Eins Live: Queen were obviously a great influence for you. What were you thinking when you first heard of them?
Gerard: I can't exactly remember how it came to it. But a friend of mine played Queen's Best-Of album an it had Bohemian Rhapsody on it. Al that time, the song impressed me so much, it was crazy. And I believe, before we'd written the album, we all traveled in time to our musical idols.
Eins Live: For you, this band is more than just the possibility to make music. What else would you say belongs to the complete work of My Chemical Romance?
Gerard: For me, My Chemical Romance represents a lot of things. That's why it's a project that I've been involved for the longest time in my life. I can implement anything I want to. I like film, art, music, design. I can do all this with My Chemical Romance. That's why it doesn't only stand for music. And even for us, My Chemical Romance is more than just a band.
Frank: All this has so many different sides, so it's never getting boring.
Gerard: Of course, we go to work every day, but for us it means that we have fun. I believe most bands fail because they restrict themselves to just music.
Eins Live: You say that from album to album you take two steps ahead. Don't those steps increase the risk to stumble?
Gerard: That is actually an important question. And still, I've never thought about is. Well, when we'd carefully take small steps ahead, then "The Black Parade" could have only been out fifth album in a few years. But when you stop being something special, it's time to quickly move on.
Frank: I guess when you start to think about it, you get nervous and tense up. That's the end of your creativity and you begin to stumble.
