It’s been almost six years since members of My Chemical Romance broke our hearts by going their separate ways, and we finally know more about what went on behind the scenes. Frontman Gerard Way finally shared his thought on their split during an interview with The Guardian.
According to Way, they’ve been dealing with a lot of pressure ever since dropping their hit record The Black Parade. They had a hard time figuring out which direction to take next because everybody had an opinion about what the band should be.
“When things start to succeed and go really well… That’s when a lot of people start to have an opinion and that’s when you run into struggle. It wasn’t fun to make stuff anymore. I think breaking up the band broke us out of that machine,” said Way.
After parting ways in 2013, My Chemical Romance released greatest hits album May Death Never Stop You and celebrated the tenth anniversary of The Black Parade by dropping a reissue with several unreleased demos and live tracks.
