Gerard Way speaks!

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has told MTV that the New Jersey emo heroes plan to get aggressive on their upcoming new studio album.

''The one thing is we've never really captured that 'live' feeling,'' says the frotnman. ''We've gone for sometimes more polish. We've obviously emulated bands like Queen in trying to get that classic, late-'70s glam sound, and we've gone for that at times, especially on the last record. But then, when we're playing this stuff live, it's ultimately going to get more aggressive, so I think it'd be interesting to hear what the band sounds like recorded at least somewhat in those parameters of a live set.''

In related news, guitarist Frank Iero has told Kerrang! that MCR hope to get into the studio to release the follow-up to 2006's The Black Parade as soon as possible.

"We got together in October to finish up a song for the soundtrack to the film Watchmen. That happened in New York, where we mixed and mastered the song. All we want to do now is to get together and write again. Really, right now, it's a waiting game to see whether Bob [Bryar, drummer who has suffered ongoing wrist injuries] is 100 per cent."
