If I could've picked a birthday it would've been on Halloween. Yeah, it's always been my favorite holiday. Not because it was my birthday, but actually because, I think it was the freedom, you know? When you were a little kid, you got to go out and be an adult for a couple of hours. You got to, like, just go out with your friends and knock on peoples' doors and be nuts and pull pranks and stuff like that. You could be whoever you wanted to be, you know, I guess that was the appeal to it.
Frank IeroMy tattoos are like a scrapbook of my life. Sometimes you don't feel comfortable in your own skin, so covering it up with pictures helps
Frank IeroI feel like the older I get, the more I start to think about life in general. All the clichรฉs that people tell you, the ones that you hear over and over and over again, there's a reason they're clichรฉ, there's a reason you hear them over and over again, because it's all true. As much as you don't wanna hear it, it's true. You'll find out later on, like "Man, they're all right."
Frank IeroTo kill the misconception, I donโt think the songs we wrote before โDanger Daysโ are bad songs by any means. In fact, I kinda think some of them are among my favorites we have ever written. A lot of them are kinda fโing radโฆ they just so happened to have been created in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and we as their parents were not ready to raise them just yetโฆ and so they sat and waited.
Frank IeroI made songs really for myself - I didn't ever expect to put it out there and make this a record for mass consumption, this was really just a way for me to get out of my own situation and reclaim that part of myself - so when making the songs, I wanted a testament to what I'd gone through, I wanted a snapshot of those moments.
