Ahaha, well, to be fair - apparently they did record a no-frills straight-up Stooges-inspired rock album? But then they hated it, and had to start over!

I mostly feel vindicated, because I could not believe that Gerard Way of all people would really want to lay off the theatricality and grandiose storytelling (although I kind of wish he'd figured that out before taking the time to record two entire albums).

I'm also never really sure if Gerard knows what the hell he's saying, to be honest. ♥
