My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero has designed a six-string guitar for Epiphone
called the Phant-o-matic. "I took the body from the Wilshire, I took
the Anico Humbuckers out of the Les Paul, I put the Les Paul neck on it
and headstock, changed the tuners around, and fucked a little bit with
the electronics – and we made the Phant-o-matic," Iero tells Rolling Stone.
As a kid, Iero says he had his dream celebrity guitar, the Kurt
Cobain-created Jag-Stang. But being approached by Epiphone to make his
own model made Iero think about his family before any guitar legends.
"Basically when given this opportunity the first thing that came to mind
was my dad buying me my first guitar," he says. "And the reason I got
into music was my grandfather and dads played drums and were in bands
forever."
So, what did his dad say about the Frank Iero Phant-o-matic? "They
were like, 'Are you serious? That’s crazy,'" he says. "My dad was super
psyched." And to pay tribute to his family, Iero is turning the venture
into a philanthropic endeavor. "About six years ago my family was
affected by multiple sclerosis and that was the first thing that came to
mind. The only reason I would be doing this is because of my family, so
why not give back?" he says, adding that Epiphone is matching every
dollar he gives to MS.
Designing guitars hasn't been his only recent burst of creativity. He
says MCR have been very inspired of late as well. "Whether it be
writing a new My Chem record or working on a different kind of project,
there are a couple of things that are coming in the works," he says.
"But I definitely see new music coming out or at least being worked on
throughout the rest of this year and hopefully maybe something coming
out by summer."
Gerard Way, Mikey Way and Ray Toro of My Chemical Romance recently stopped by the Rolling Stone studios to chat with senior writer Brian Hiatt about their bold new album Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys. "It's really the kind of record where you kind of need to put your money where your mouth is," says frontman Gerard. "If you made the record with the intention of trying to change something, or rebel against something, then it's a fight. So I accepted that at a certain point. This record kinda is a fight."
My Chemical Romance's frontman grew up a metalhead, but when he heard Iron Maiden's lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, cover Mott the Hoople's "All the Young Dudes," he discovered a whole other world, "I knew I had to find out more," Way says, "To some people, glam is just about makeup. To me, it's a very magical thing almost like witchcraft."
1: "Ziggy Stardust"David Bowie, 1972
This song defines glam. It was also the first thing in rock that really challenged people's notions of sexual orientation. Bowie actually sings about a man's ass!
2: "Children of the Revolution"T. Rex, 1972
You always knew Bowie would make it out alive and turn into another character; with Marc Bolan you didn't know that. He came across as very vulnerable.
3: "All the Young Dudes"Mott the Hoople, 1972
This is kind of a cheat because David Bowie wrote it for them, but I always preferred the Mott the Hoople version. By this point, Bowie was talking about the actual glam movement, which is why it's about kids stealing makeup and breaking into unlocked cars. Glam became about the kid in the room, the poster on the wall, putting on a women's short fur coat and eyeliner, with no shirt on, just listening to this music.
4: "Ballroom Blitz"Sweet, 1973
They completely break the fourth wall when the song opens up and they're calling each other by name. We emulated that on our song "Vampire Money." It literally starts out just like "Ballroom Blitz" does.
5: "Cum On Feel the Noize"" 1973
Obviously, everybody knows this for the Quiet Riot version, but when you hear the original you realize just how bold it is. The soundscape they created is probably one of the best out of all the glam-rock bands.
6: "Love Is the Drug"Roxy Music, 1975
Roxy Music took the glam thing and then modified it. Bryan Ferry looks nothing like a glam artist, and that's what I love about him. He's wearing this great suit and he's got short hair and he's so romantic. Maybe some people wouldn't consider Roxy Music a glam band, but I do, for a lot of reasons. A major one is that they used to have Brian Eno behind the keyboard wearing feathers on his shoulders and eye shadow.
7: "Needles in the Camel's Eye"Brian Eno, 1974
Speaking of Eno, this is the first track on his first solo album. It's the glammiest track on the record. As soon as he finishes that song, he's almost over it, and he's moved on to something else. Besides Bowie, Eno is still the most important artist to me of the glam scene. When you heard his first album, you knew it was gonna be his last glam record. He just needed to do it once and he was done.
8: "Clones (We're All)"Alice Cooper, 1980
With "Clones," Alice Cooper was moving into the glam of the future, like this kind of Blade Runner replicant version of glam. Alice Cooper doesn't get enough credit for being a glam artist. A lot of people just say, "Oh, he's shock rock," but I think he's way more Rocky Horror than he is shock rock.
9: "48 Crash"Suzi Quatro, 1973
She's the most unsung glam rocker. She's also the prototype for the Runaways. "48 Crash" is one of her more aggressive songs. She looks amazing on the cover, wearing this black cat suit. Everything about the song is magic.
10: "Personality Crisis"New York Dolls, 1973
They were a lot more punk, but I will always consider the New York Dolls glam by the nature of how they looked and their attitude. They took glam to America and really challenged the sexuality of it. They also had Johnny Thunders, who's basically like the American Mick Ronson.
