Frank Iero Gives Album Update
My Chemical Romance axeman Frank Iero has been giving Rock Sound the skinny on the band’s fourth album progress, R&R, and Gerard and Lyn-Z’s good news...
What stage are you guys at with the fourth My Chemical Romance album?
''Rightnow, it’s really in the preliminary writing stage, just tossing backand forth ideas. There haven’t been any real serious writing sessionsyet. We’re actually talking about getting together again this month,and after that in the new year we’ll really sit down and start workingon songs. For now it’s just been you know, kinda hanging out.''
Life must have been so hectic over the past few years; we expect you need time to reflect?
''Wellthat’s the thing, it’s nice to see your family again and become part oftheir lives again. We’ve been away for so long that it’s hard toreconnect to the people that you left back home, because it’s just hardto reconnect to real life. And to actually be able to make plans andsay, ‘Hey, you know what, I will see you next weekend, I will bearound, what are you doing, can we hang out and just be together?’That’s a real nice thing.''
Do you ever stop and pinchyourself? It’s incredible the level you’ve reached from quite modestbeginnings, playing smaller festivals and support slots not too longago...
''Absolutely, every day you wake up and you’re like,‘Holy shit, what happened?’ I remember being in a van, I remembergetting to these shows, and then all of a sudden I’m coming home to ahouse that’s mine, and playing shows to thousands of people – venuesand countries that I never thought I’d play. I feel very, very blessedto be able to do that – I really am doing things that I dreamed of as akid. We know how fortunate we are, and I don’t think a day goes by thatwe’re not thankful for that.''
We were very happy to hear that Gerard and Lyn-Z are expecting their first child; is that going to affect MCR’s plans much?
''No.You know if anything, it’s just going to make the family bigger andwe’re just really excited. As soon as he told me my jaw dropped,because he was the kind of kid that was like, ‘I’m never going to getmarried, I’m never going to have kids’, and it was in a year that allthat changed. I’m just so excited for him, because he’s so excited, andif anything, it’s just going to make touring that much better –everyone’s gonna have kids out on the road and their wives and stuff,it’s just going to be like a touring family circus.
