My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has admitted that the band’s exuberant stage show has caused them to miss being in a conventional rock band.
The group won praise throughout 2007 for their Black Parade spectacle – which took its inspiration from their 2006 album ‘The Black Parade’.
However, the group downsized the show towards the end of their live commitments for the album – something which Way says will reflect in their future material.
“I think (the next album) will definitely be stripped down. I think the band misses being a rock band,” he said.
“That doesn’t mean we won't explore really crazy ideas on the next albums, or do something even crazier.”
He continued: “It doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll start to take steps backwards creatively. But it felt in a live sense, this is what we do great live.
“And we’re better musicians for having written and played 'The Black Parade', so you're dealing with (the fact that) everybody's better as musicians and singers.”
“So to have that to play with in a live sense is really thrilling. We can cut loose more,” he added.
Way also told NME that their new material, including one song which has been road tested already, was a return to “punk rock music” for the band.
