The Killjoy carnival was busy being set up outside around a swarm of My Chemical Romance fans who lined up a solid 12 hours before tonight's "Live In L.A.: My Chemical Romance" House Of Blues show celebrating the release of MCR's fourth album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. My Chemical Romance's crew--in front of a backdrop of the American flag covered in MCR's now-signature Danger Days spider--line checked at levels well beyond a rock-ready 11, while My Chemical Romance, in leather jackets and black sh** kickers, took a seat in the back of the House of Blues to answer your Buzzworthy fan questions.
They may play a bunch of outlaw misfits in their "Na Na Na" video, but Mikey, Gerard, Frank and Ray, are consummate artists and devoutly professional musicians. While many artists would be out celebrating on the day of their album release (Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is out today), My Chemical Romance spent release day sharing articulate, intelligent, heartfelt and funny--are you reading this, Bruce Willis?--answers to questions from their legion of fans who put them--and kept them--on the musical map. While, as any My Chem fan knows, only Mikey and Gerard are brothers, and the band interacts like a true family unit with an intimate understanding of their own artistic vision, evolution and reinvention. Any true My Chemical Romance fan will probably pick up on the band's measured yet confident identity--beyond their Killjoy personas--which should make this My Chem fan interview even more rewarding to watch.
Watch My Chemical Romance answer MTV Buzzworthy Blog fan questions to find out more about the origins of their Killjoy names, the evolution of the Danger Days spider and lightening bolt, the music they find uplifting and giving their fans credit for saving themselves.
