Notorious Rock Rivals Squash Years-Long Feud With First Performance Together in 21 Years
At their Los Angeles show on Friday, October 30, My Chemical Romance finally shared the stage with The Used once again. The bands reunited for their first performance together in years, bringing a long-running fan conversation to a new chapter.
On Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast in October 2025, The Used frontman Bert McCracken looked back on his friendship with My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way. McCracken, 44, described their dynamic as a “long-standing joke that we’re frenemies,” adding, “It’s only coming from my side.”
He said the rift was tied to Way, 49, getting sober. At the time, McCracken took Way’s distance as a personal slight and thought he was being judged for partying. “And I didn’t understand that at the time,” he admitted.
McCracken later recognized that Way was focused on his recovery. He also acknowledged feeling hurt by the end of their friendship and making critical remarks about Way’s artistic integrity. The two have spoken since, and McCracken said he has “full respect” for Way.
