"We started this band in the trenches and we all grew up together -- we're brothers before anything else," guitarist Frank Iero said. "We've grown up and we see things differently, so our music and inspiration has changed.
My Chemical Romance likes to play off different styles of alternative rock, so the band decided to create a futuristic world forDanger Days.
"We put our guitars down, and made synthesized sounds and loops," Iero said. "Computers changed the way the songs were written. This wasn't a concept record, but it had a post-apocalyptic vibe.
"We wanted to make a challenging record, so we came up with this world when we sat down to write. The songs are about corporate clean-up and continuously running to keep yourself alive."
The band used theatrical costumes and props for its 2010 arena shows, but this smaller tour is stripped down to basics.
"This tour is more of a celebration of our rock show and the band," Iero said. "The shows are really intimate and it's great getting reacquainted with fans again."
MCR is also excited to help out the people of Japan. The band had just returned from the country when news of the earthquake hit.
"We knew we had to lend a helping hand," Iero said. "Sing' is a very inspirational song to us and it's very empowering, so we decided to use it to help this cause.
"We made an incredible new version of the song that had unbelievable string arrangements. It really was a project inspired by our fans. We hope it does some good to raise a little money and help."
