In a recent interview with website Under The Gun Review, James Dewees, former touring keyboardist and Reggie and the Full Effect front man, talked about MCR and had this to say when asked directly about the band:
JD: It was weird because, as I got asked to join the band, I had played with them for seven years [already] and was asked to become a member of the band, sign a contract, all that shit, and live in LA for a year working on the record. Seven days a week, ten hours a day, writing music. We have like twenty-six songs that will never be heard. But at the same time, Iâve been their friends for a really long time, and I could see it coming. I mean I went through the first Get Up Kids breakup. Where it was like, I knew Matt was ready to go. So I could kind of tell that Gerard had the signs, like he wasnât happy, this wasnât what he wanted to do, he wants to go do other stuff. For me itâs always like, your friends and family comes first. So, I mean, he told me this is what he was thinking, and I was like, âHey, if this is what you want to do, itâs what you want to do. You shouldnât force yourself to do something you donât want to do.â When you hear bands do that, itâs like theyâre doing âthat.â âLike oh man, theyâre not writing good music anymore, theyâre doing it just to get paid.â If your heartâs not in it, you shouldnât be doing it.
