Gerard Way: What I like is that there’s more electronics in it, which is very fun, but they kind of have the same energy…At times, it feels some of the older stuff has even more? [looks at Mikey] Uhm, maybe because it’s so much faster, some of it, but it fits right in with all the older material.
Mikey Way: Yeah, it’s kind of like Danger Days influenced the older songs that we’re playing live and we’re playing them kind of under that lens. We’re playing them with a Danger Days lens over it. So, it’s kind of cool. It makes them all a little different energy. …
Yeah, we always like to take a left turn when people expect us to take a right turn, and pull the rug out from under people. It’s a fun, exciting thing for us, and we always like to evolve as musicians, so we kind of got to do that again. And, you know, next record: same deal.
Gerard Way: To me, there was a lot of hope in Black Parade that maybe wasn’t seen at first by people that had heard it, so—in some ways—they’re comparable. I think Danger Days is actually an angrier record than Black Parade, you know?
Mikey Way: Yeah, it’s angrier in some ways, but then—it’s one’s one of those things where it’s like: We’re such multi-faceted people that some days, I feel Danger Days, some days I feel like Black Parade, you know what I’m saying?
