Well, Gerard had mentioned he had a strong idea for The Paper Kingdom at this time but it seems any small bit of good writing probably went to Conventional Weapons aside from Fake Your Death. They probably had a drive to create because of what they were going through but it just wasn't working between them, hence why they all almost immediately started work on independent projects.
@@youraveragemusicperson2176 Conventional Weapons was released after Danger Days, and although most of the songs were written ~2009, Gerard said a few times that a bit of it was written after Danger Days (incomplete stuff) and this was around the time production of what would be The Paper Kingdom was being made, which is why many assume a small portion of Conventional Weapons was cut Paper Kingdom work.
Basically, they started coming up with more ideas for MCR5 and Gerard said that he came up with a concept for the album, and the idea was of a group of parents in a support group that all lost their children in terrible ways. Gerard had finally been happy when he wrote Danger Days and he saw that he was going back to where he started so they decided to stop.
I think Warner wanted them to take a more pop route, I just don't know why they won't just sign with another label or maybe they didn't sign with another so they fuck us up.
RobertoGTR JAM they needed it honestly . Gerard way needed to really just be a dad. He also wanted to start the umbrella academy. He was always into comic books instead of singing. I’m proud and not upset they’re just doing a reunion and not officially together. It’s baby steps, then maybe they could be the original My Chemical Romance!
they were so set on this new record and so happy and pumped and it makes me wonder why they cut the band off like that. i think about that kinda shit a lot.
people here are talking 'bout them "going back" to the old days, but I don't think they will. they've always said that they want to move on and never do the same thing twice, and it's one of the things I love with this band. I have faith in that whatever they'll do, it'll be awesome. :3
To be honest guys, I think there must be something happened , there are secrets behind that brutal break up , they were so excited about new music and didn't wanna break up , don't you think that they had some problems with their label or some shit that made obliged to break up? Idk , I just feel the break up wasn't real enough , especially that paragraph on their site it's not the style of writing Gerard usually follows right? I know it's 2018 but still .
I feel you. Its pretty obvious they have left things out about the break up, and they have every right to. We will probably never know what really happened but in the end it is in the past, they are all on good terms now and none of them have counted a reunion out. They are all doing amazing on their own right now
The break up was definitely sad but necessary. I think a lot of it just had to do with Gerard and his own health. He relapsed with alcoholism after successfully seeking counseling and kicking the habit after Three Cheers. Not only that, but they felt pressured to return to more dark themes for the fifth album Paper Kingdom due to the poor commercial success and tepid fan response to Danger Days. And I think after breaking away from that image with DD they didn't want to just go back to it for the sake of making an uninspired but successful album. This I believe all culminated in the decision to just end things where they were at. I think Danger Days was a good stopping point. It was different and you could tell the guys just had a blast making it and performing it. It was a shame it under performed but I don't even really blame the shift in tone for that. By the early 2010's radio was dominated by pop, electronic, club, and dance music. There really wasn't any landscape for alternative left on the airwaves which led to bands like MCR who were once chart toppers to just fall to the wayside. But it was a solid album with some great songs, and I even feel like we got sort of a swan song in the Kids From Yesterday. I was shocked, but pleasantly surprised when they reunited. Really didn't anticipate that but it shows this band not only retained their loyal fans, they gained tons of new ones including today's youth. Takes a special band to do that.
Gerard made it clear that MCR is done but it can never die because it is alive in us and in the guys. But we may never know maybe in a couple of years they miss playing in a band and start MCR again.
I'm loving that Frank seems to be going back to the revenge era, but I will miss Gee's red hair. But no matter what, the way they look isn't going to change the way I feel about this band. They saved my life, that's all that matters.
I think we all knew it was coming we just didn't expect it when it happened. Especially after the announecment of MCR5 when everyone was gearing up to hear these great new songs. I mean Gerard said the band would keep going as long as it had to and then it would end but no one really took it to heart I guess. Either way it's pretty shocking when your favorite band breaks up.
4:11 OMG I love Tom Petty! I grew up listening to his music every night before bed throughout literally my whole childhood and I got to see him in concert in 2014. It's awesome to hear the newer bands I listen to appreciating the older bands I grew up on
wait a minute, why were we all shocked and brokenhearted when mcr broke up? Gerard said it himself, "we're actually gonna start working alone." they were already planning on going their separate ways anyway so why were we all like, "What?!" when we should have known this was coming?
i think all three albums are really different yet i still love them allany style that mcr tries they can pull it off i am just excited to see what they do next and will still love the old stuff
since everyone is talking about them going back to their old selves, i just thought i'd let everyone know that they played a song from Bullets while they were at Voodoo((:
he got his eyes lasered and ever since they're hyper-sensitive and he pretty much wears them always now except for dark rooms without any flashy lights, as far as I know
i wish they would go back and do something that is like revenge, parade and bullets. Not do the exact same thing but when there music was dark and emotional. It was just so much easier to relate to.
I can NOT wait to hear their new album when it's done. As much as I love Danger Days I would love to see a little more Black Parade type music for their next mixed in with a little DD y'know? ;) Gerard is lookin' fine by the way. Loved his red hair, love his black hair :D They're all so awesome.

_"Very strong idea of where we wanna go now."_ OH REALLY
Emphasis on "idea"
Ya break up in 2013, get back on Franks bday 2019 and announce a tour. MAKES SENSE DEFINITELY

@@Kekktye Conventional Weapons was before Danger Days, though. It was scrapped in favor of Danger Days.

0:50 - mama, we're all full of lies.
Mama, we're meant for the flies
And right now we're building a coffin your size.
He said "idea" when i tapped 0:50 :(
Japhet Miranda mama were all full of lies
How did they go from "we don't need a break" and "we're excited" to breaking up? I just wanna know what happened..

Seth Ransom ITS 2017 IM
Ikr there's something behind this brutal break up
I think Warner wanted them to take a more pop route, I just don't know why they won't just sign with another label or maybe they didn't sign with another so they fuck us up.
Kimberly as much as I would love to hear that album, it would be super tragic.
"the band will start work on new music soon" my ass
for real tho
I love how when Frank says "A lot of shit's happened this past couple years" he sort of side glances at Gerard... Hmm...
omg yes
Omgg
Gerard's face kinda falls when Frank says that too, if you look closely. ;-;
Taylor Britt aw yes :(
Damn
"we don't need a break" ;_;
Hanna Eide they took their break

"I like to call it MCR5 right now."
they seemed so excited and pumped for it I'm in pain
they were so set on this new record and so happy and pumped and it makes me wonder why they cut the band off like that. i think about that kinda shit a lot.
alyssa reed same :/
so many people were excited for mcr5 and stuff and even more after conventional weapons this video breaks my heart
;(
It’s 2022 and they just toured North America and Europe so I hope that made it a bit better :)
I love that he talked about David Bowie as the Goblin King!!! Labyrinth is my favorite movie ever.
Sameee!!!!
"we don't need a break." *breaks up*

OH MY STUmp RAY GET yoUr fOOT oFF ThE cOUch

"We don't need a brake"
2 years later
*Breaks up*
I don't even know what to feel about this. This is just...just... ;_;
This interview killed me ten times over

"I'm sure david bowie does teh same stuff" My Chemical Romance and David bowie are my all time bands.

"A STRONG IDEA OF WHERE WE WANNA GO" YOU MEAN FUCKING BREAKIN UP 😢
Ray barely listens to music yet the man's a genius with guitars!
RAY IS IN SOCKS AHHHH 🖤🖤
Two years later: "were breaking up"

Gee is just too beautiful to this world. 🖤

Surprise surprise, it's 2019 and no they're not coming back
@@sleepyrina they're back...

When you're watching this on March 22...
Gerard made it clear that MCR is done but it can never die because it is alive in us and in the guys. But we may never know maybe in a couple of years they miss playing in a band and start MCR again.
Reckless Astronaut ITS NOT A BAND, ITS AN IDEA
1:01 FUCKIN READY
I don't think I'll ever get over that breakup.
Gerard looks like this now because of his being back black!
this is my childhood and my now and my adulthood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm loving that Frank seems to be going back to the revenge era, but I will miss Gee's red hair. But no matter what, the way they look isn't going to change the way I feel about this band. They saved my life, that's all that matters.
I love this comment sm, this is exactly how I feel
Maybe their still on a brake but wanted to tell us that they were breaking up so they wouldn't get pestered about a new record.
Why did everyome say brake instead of break 4-3 years ago did grammar not exist lol
love watching interviews of then talking about how they have lots of ideas and stuff, right before they broke up
Who else watch this in 2019 xD?
Ray is such a sunshine☀️🌤️🌻
They introduced me to Sleigh Bells, Bowie (sad yes), Pulp, all the good stuff. So excited for the new album-to-be :)
I'm not even joking this is making me cry
Frank is so cute
I think we all knew it was coming we just didn't expect it when it happened. Especially after the announecment of MCR5 when everyone was gearing up to hear these great new songs.

I must thank my mom, even at 3 in the morning, for feeding me Tom Petty music in the womb. O.O
RIP Tom :(

"It's kind of a 'game plan' which is what kinda happened with The Black Parade"
CONCEPT ALBUM YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
