My Chemical Romance Predict 2019 Sound In Unearthed Interview From 2011

What ended up being My Chemical Romance's fourth and final album (at least for now), Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, was set in a post-apocalyptic California town in the year 2019, so naturally during a 2011 interview with Warner Music Germany the band was asked what they thought they'd sound like when time caught up to their future world.

“What will we sound like in 2019?” frontman Gerard Way ponders. "I did think about that when we were gonna start saying that this was set in 2019. Because I was definitely like, well this isn’t what we’d sound like in 2019. It’s a guess. I don’t know.”

“It’s hard to say,” he continued. “We take a long time to make records and I’m actually outwardly proud of that. I don’t think that will ever change. But because of that, I think the fans of the band and other people that listen to it they get a high level of quality from that.”

“So we might be on, we might be two records ahead at that point,” the singer added. “Maybe we’ll be on the sixth. So I don’t know. It’s really hard to say.”

Watch the full interview below (the 2019 question gets asked at the 1:49 mark).

As fans know, that sixth album never happened (nor did the fifth), and MCR announced its breakup in 2013; however, a few thousand lucky fans will get the chance to hear what the band sounds like in 2019 when they play their reunion show in Los Angeles on December 20.
