As I said in a previous blog, I'll go through all the members of this band. Today, I had Frank Anthony Thomas Iero on my mind, because I didn't get to go to his concert last night. (Be sad for me.) Currently, Frank Iero is thirty-two, and will be thirty-three on Halloween, hence the "HALLOWEEN" tattoo on his knuckles.
Before MCR, Frank was in several bands playing rhythm or lead guitar. The main one was Pencey Prep. When MCR was in the studio, Frank would listen to them play. Pencey Prep didn't last long. Once it was over the boys in the band offered Frank the spot of rhythm guitarist. He eventually accepted, but at the time it was said that he was "too high to get off the couch." Don't worry, though. All the boys are clean and sober now.
They went through all of "Revenge Era" getting high and drunk, but it was Gerard's suicidalness that cleared Frank's head. He didn't want his best friend to die. He promised to help him get clean, and Iero followed through.
This is the early legacy of Frank Iero.
