Generations to come will always remember My Chemical Romance as the biggest band of their kind. And with good reasonsince 2004s Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge blew up, the band has been on top of the world, culminating in the epic madness that has been their recent reunion. But its important to remember that MCR started as just a crew of Misfits fans from New Jersey, if only to put a human face on these guys who many consider rock royalty. If you need help with that, watch this video of the band from 2002, doing an interview from the back of avan.

Once you get over the premise of this videoMy Chemical Romance, in 2002, talking to an interviewer from the backseat of a van the beautiful details of it emerge. The segment, an interview for bedroom network Swept Away TV, opens with the band introducing themselves, since, you know, they werent household names for rock fans yet. Even more impressive is how much of their personalities are present even thenGerard Way is informative and a little nerdy, while Frank Iero looks like hes itching to just get out there andplay.

Perhaps the most precious moment is when host Nicole asks the band if they can tell her about something crazy that happened on tour. Gerard breaks into the sweetest grin youve everseen.

Its funny, we just got asked this question, and we dont have any stories! he says, in a moment made delicious byhindsight.
