You can only hold on to something for so long and enjoy it just by yourself, what's the point? It's very selfish. For better or for worse, I feel like the point of all of this is to make someone feel something.
Frank IeroI've always been a fan of vinyl. There's something about the ritual of it. Something about it holds its gravity, for some reason. Sometimes you'll put on music and the music fades into the background. But when you take that vinyl out and put it down, the music becomes the conversation as opposed to being the soundtrack to it.
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 IeroNormally you'll have a structure to a song. You'll have an intro to a verse to a pre-chorus to a chorus, kinda repeat that, maybe there's a bridge, then you'll go out on a chorus - that's the quintessential song structure - sometimes you might do a fake-out, re-do a pre-chorus but the chorus doesn't come until later, but for the most part you follow these tried and true structures.
