2010 spin – photos by ture lillegraven
“For My Chemical Romance, a new LP isn’t just music — it’s a full on art project. That’s certainly the case with their November 22 concept album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. And it was the same with their recent photo shoot for SPIN’s December cover.
The band — singer Gerard Way, 33; bassist Mikey Way, 30; guitarist Frank Iero, 29; and guitarist Ray Toro, 33 — met up with SPIN photo director Michelle Egiziano and photographer Ture Lillegraven at L.A.’s Pink Motel, a ’50s joint often used in movies and music videos (like Cee-Lo’s latest).
The idea was to continue the concept of the album, which is about a post-apocalyptic, Mad Max-like gang called the Killjoys who fight an invading army of vampires. The tale unfolds like the comic books Gerard grew up on, and also takes cues from Japanese animation. “Gerard said he discovered Japanimation when the band was on a tour of Japan. He was really inspired by that imagery and it influenced the album, videos, and photo shoot,” Lillegraven says.”

2010 gerard wants to see fucked up killjoys
“‘the kids better be dressed really fucked up’ gerard said before the first night of the World Contamination Tour in London. He was joking and mock challenging the fans, but there was a part if him that was serious. ‘I hope i’m not disappointed. If they aren’t I’m gonna be like, "I dunno if I want to do this anymore.” There better be masks or I’m gonna be pissed. What’s the fucking point if they’re not going to dress up? If they don’t come up to me and tell me their Killjoy name, I"m going. to be bummed’“ – gerard from the mcr book "not the life it seems”
