In a 2016 interview with the Alternative Press, Bryar talked about his early years with My Chemical Romance and how he knew the band was “special” right away.
My Romance with Chemistry At the age of 44, drummer Bob Bryar passed away: My Chemical Romance.
“I left a really successful traveling concert where I was in charge of sound and tour management. In order to join a band that was dirty, had shabby equipment, a smashed-up, smoking, death-trap van, and was impoverished, I quit my job. They also had a foul odor. He told the magazine, “I was overjoyed to get the offer. Even before we recorded “Welcome To The Black Parade,” I felt [MCR] was unique and wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to be able to shred with the band every night and contribute to their evolution.
“A few performances and occasions truly stand out to me. In the first, the whole Black Parade tour is involved. Most of the time, I thought I was dreaming,” Bryar said. “I sincerely hope that everyone gets to sit at my drum kit and enjoy themselves while reflecting on how insane this is during a performance.”
“We spent a lot of money to put on that tour,” he added. Additionally, we immediately reinvested all of the profits back into the production. Because we were more interested in the show than the money, we took that action. This also enabled us to maintain relatively modest ticket prices. I still long to preserve a piece of that set as a memento. I had the most fun time of my life during that time.
