Ray: "The furthest length I ever saw anyone go to get backstage was the kid who made the fake Rolling Stone ID. He made a Rolling Stone press pass - that is so blatantly fake - to get backstage to our dressing room, and it worked! For some reason, the guy at the door that night thought that a poorly made Rolling Stone ID was all you needed to walk right into our dressing room. It was genius! You can see where he photoshopped over someone else’s face."

Gerard: "The flow of The Black Parade as a record is so good, that when you’re playing it live, you look forward to each song; it comes right at the perfect moment. Doing ballads in a live set is usually a bummer for a band, but ‘I Don’t Love You’ comes at just the right moment, so it totally works. We were never even that comfortable about having production for the stage show, we always thought it was kinda lame, but it suit’s the record and so it works live. We wrote the record with the live show in mind, really. There was never any debate about playing the whole album live, although we did consider changing the order around a little bit. If you do that, the whole
story changes."
