Bob Bryar wasn't an OFFICIAL member of the band during the recording of this album, as he can no longer drum due to wrist injuries and operations.

However, he did drum on the following songs

- Na Na Na

- Party Poison

- The Only Hope For Me Is You

- Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back

- Bulletproof Heart

Released in 2010, this is the most recent official MCR album. The final edition is set in a post apocolyptic California 2019, where the world is being ruled by Korse and the BL/ind, who sell 'happy pills' to control the population, set at the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W unit

The albun focuses on the Fabulous Killjoys (Gerard, Mikey, Frank, Ray) who are fighting against the corporation.

The band's alter ego's are as follows

Party Poison (Gerard)

Jet Star (Ray)

Kobra Kid (Mikey)

Fun Ghoul (Frank)

The allies of the Killjoys are Dr Deathdefying, a radio pirate DJ, who helps them, along with his sidekick Show Pony.

Grace Jeanette plays a young girl (The Missile Kid). She was kidnapped in the Na Na Na video, and the Sing video shows the killjoys trying to save her.

The Na Na Na video, at about 1:28, shows a Black Parade jacket, on a skeleton, a final way to show the era's death.

The final track 'Vampire Money', shows MCR basically saying 'fuck off' to the offers for them doing a song for Twilight.

5 singles were released;

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

The Only Hope For Me Is You

SING

Planatery (GO!)

The Kids From Yesterday

As well as this, a different CD version was released, which came with two extra songs, and another CD that comes with three songs recorded, the only EP containing drummer Mike Pedicone.

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) was the first single from the Danger Days. A very catchy song, with a dark undertone, that has recieved generally amazing feedback.

The video features the killjoys going about their daily lives, on the run from BL/ind in Battery City, in a Californian desert.

The band are indulging themselves, on magazines, canned food, fast driving, and killing Korse's henchmen, the Draculoids.

Their child-member, Missile Kid (Grace Jeanette), accompanies them, helping them rein havoc. After a mexican-style standoff, the fabulous killjoys lie defeated on the floor, and Grace is captured.

The Only Hope For Me Is You was released as a single later that year. The single CD also came with a remix of The Kids From Yesterday, and a cover of the Pulp song 'Common People'.

Sing is arguably the most popular to come from Danger Days. It was the seconds most famous rock song of 2011, only beaten by Foo Fighters' 'Rope'

The video continues from Na Na Na, and features the fabulous killjoys on a mission to rescue Missile Kid.

As they arrive at the Dystopia S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W unit, shooting their way past the guards.

Upon entry, they are ambushed. Party Poison then takes the mask off a Draculoid, to reveal Agent Cherry Cola, a killjoy ally who had been captured and turned into an involver BL/ind. This distracted Gerard, and he was backed against a wall and dramatically shot thriugh the neck by Korse ;~;

Upon seeing this, Mikey is enraged, and charges at Korse, shooting him in the knee, before he to dies next to his brother.

After this, Frank and Ray retrieve Grace from the fighting. They try to leave, but Frank shuts the door behind Ray and Grace, to give them a better chance of escape. He is shot twice, and then Ray is shot, and dies on the roof of their car.

Just as she was about to be re-captured, Dr Deathdefying shows up, and saves her.

This song was covered on an episode of 'Glee'. However, the Glee version of the song sadly reached higher in the charts than the MCR version.

Planatery (GO!) was released as a single in 2011. The video was a live performance of the song, of which tickets were sold the day before the recording of the video. It is also the only video to feature Mike Pedicone. The only chart that this song entered, featured it as no.1.

The Kids From Yesterday was released in January 2012. The song is highly inspirational, and has an equally moving video, that features the band's journey from start to then.
