I would argue, as much as I love Gerard, Mikey, and Ray. MCR doesn’t work without Frank. His rhythmic melodies and Rhythm guitar style really adds to the songs. You could find another replacement but they wouldn’t have the mind Frank has to make those notes

fascinating how even THE frank iero feels this way too in his own band. it's a very cool moment of literally seeing someone you admire as a normal human being that is always learning. usually i feel that there's a barrier between fan and artist. if you don't put them on pedestal they're basically strangers. but this, it made me realize we're all the same at base. humans.

I thought the same thing in high school and it's TRUE. Him AND MIKEY. Obviously he's good enough NOW. I feel like the band was just about to get going when Danger Days came out. And with the drummer thing and the BS label shit that makes a band not fun anymore. Think about it. Mikey learned how to play bass and then they went on tour. That's ridiculous. So of course it would take a while before every member was as strong as the next. Now even Mikey is like a good bassist. It's sad that the drummer thing happened. I can only imagine what they could've put out. Like when Blink broke up, all I could think about is how amazing the next album would've been. Putting all the AVA AND PLUS 44 SONGS MASHED TOGETHER TO MAKE A REAL ROCK RECORD. I used to hate that they got wrapped up in the emo wave. Cause they are and were and always WILL BE AN AMAZING ROCK BAND.
