My Chemical Romance: "Internet is the death of record stores"

U.S. band My Chemical Romance has said Saturday that the Internet is assuming "the death of record stores" traditional, while recognizing that new technologies gave a big boost to his musical career early last decade. In an interview before participating in the MTV Winter Festival in Valencia, guitarist Ray Toro has admitted that for him, is still a "pleasure" to spend "long" hours in record stores and regrets that many young people give up now to this format.

My Chemical Romance could "heat up very quickly as a band" thanks to the Internet and especially social networks like MySpace or PureVolume, where the group offered free downloads of his first job-I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (2002) - that earned him an initial base of fans around the world.

For them, being on the network "is not an obligation, but the way to keep in touch with their fans and communicate their news, while acknowledging that" if you use too much, you run the risk of losing the essence "of music says the guitarist. Toro argues that new technologies have made the music "more accessible", as you can get "anywhere" and also believes that both must coexist: "If you're a fan of the music is good to have both options" both Internet access as the compact disc.

My Chemical Romance could "heat up very quickly as a band" thanks to the band InternetLa New Jersey, with her platinum second album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge (2004) and over one and half million copies sold of The Black Parade (2006), arrives in Valencia to the delight of Spanish fans, who are "true lovers of rock." Tonight will be presented his new work, Danger days: The true lives of Killjoys Fabulous (2010), which has come as a breath of fresh air for the group after two years of touring with 'The Black Parade'.

My Chemical Romance I wanted to "break with the customs" and "write something different:" we played the same songs night after night. This is an evolution, "says Toro. "What we like about this new work is that, compared to The Black Parade, the stage is totally different. Each light feels differently is a more free to act", noted guitarist.

Not surprisingly, Danger days: The true lives of Fabulous Killjoys has been proclaimed as "the best rock album of 2010, the salvation of rock and roll" by British music magazine New Musical Express. For the group, "the greatest victory is that people admire their work. "That is the main gain for us," but at some point the recording of this fourth album they do a little "uphill".

Queen, The Rolling Stones, The Smiths and Misfits are some of the most admired bands in which they are based, but "never into any of them." Are influences, but apparently can not work together, "really does make it," says Toro. Guitarist envy these legendary groups because "it seems that living in their own bubble, outside pressures," and despite the weather, "continue to do very well." "Hopefully we can be a day like this," he says.
