#mcr: 2011

[angstics]

What was happening in your personal life during the recording sessions for Danger Days? Gerard: Me and Lindsey [Way’s wife, artist Lindsey Ann Ballato] had a child; we went through this odyssey. We weren’t [being] fearless. I told her, “I haven’t made this special thing,” and she really encouraged me to realize that I was an artist. She said, “You’re an art kid, in a rock band, but you’re an artist; that is what you do. You were making a record like a guy in a rock band, and that is not you.” That signified the change, and I then got fearless. I wanted to make this crazy song with drums and nonsense digital sounds. I wanted it to be a poisonous album, I want it to contaminate things. I want the album to have this infiltration quality, this neurotoxin quality. All the noises, all the digital sounds, I wanted it to feel like a feel like a fun disease, like a drug. And it was my rebellion against 30-something rock culture. This rocks way harder; it captured the spirit of everything we wanted to do the first time but hadn’t achieved.

my HC for ASS trio’s music preferences is that the three of them listen to different kinds of rock music. with sam, he’s into more metal and hardcore punk. abigail is a gothic rock chick, siouxsie and the banshees CHANGED her life. and sebastian is into deep cuts of alt rock (though he enjoys hüsker dü and sonic youth who are more popular). however, they don’t mind each other’s tastes, they even listen to them together and give recommendations. sleepovers in seb’s basement with bauhaus blasting softly as they sleep is like a religious ritual for them.

the three of them shares another bond by hating oasis and clowning them together. sam would play that goddamned intro in acoustic because he's a little shit like that and he'll get oncoming pillows thrown at him.

Gerard: "When I am singing, I have a ton of room and reverb in my ears, because traditionally, when doing shows, I am just hearing the room. I am so accustomed to that. I want to feel like I am in a theater in the studio."
