My Chemical Romance’s tour drama

My Chemical Romance guitarist Ray Toro has revealed a member of the band was almost electrocuted on their current tour.

“Our tour drummer had a run-in with a busted phone charger and an angry electrical outlet and zapped himself,” Toro told Spinner.com. “Went to the hospital – luckily everything was fine. We had a gig the same day and he had his best show yet, so I think we may do this to him now and again.”

Toro also said he’s glad The Black Keys are getting so much attention as it’s good for rock music in general.
“That's very important, given the pop-dominated music scene. Rock, especially at a live gig, does something to the body and soul that is very unique and special, so the more of this the better,” he said.
