My Chemical Romance questioned if audience was still there

The members of My Chemical Romance admit they were nervous to release their most recent album, The Black Parade. It had been more than two yeas since the band put out their platinum-selling Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, leaving some in the group to fear they may have waited too long to release new material.

Guitarist Ray Toro told us he and the guys spent so much time working in seclusion that they doubted if their fan base still existed: "There were actually times where I thought, do people even remember us? Are people gonna be interested in hearing what we put out next? And, you know, there were times I felt like, are there going to be people out there waiting for this record, you know. So we kind of live in a bubble, in a sense. We're very closed off to that whole world of thinking about those kinds of things."

My Chemical Romance is currently touring Europe and is scheduled to play in Stockholm, Sweden on November 8th.

The group returns stateside for a series of radio show holiday shows beginning in early December.
