In 2004, Bryar replaced founding drummer Matt Pelissier as a drummer for My Chemical Romance. He worked on My Chemical Romance’s most well-known album, The Black Parade (2006), and remained with the band until 2010, making him their drummer with the longest tenure.
Before allegedly pursuing a career in real estate, Bryar engaged on various musical endeavors in the years after leaving MCR.
In a 2016 interview with the Alternative Press, Bryar talked about his early years with My Chemical Romance and how he knew the band was “special” right away.
“I left a great touring job where I was in charge of sound and tour management. In order to join a band that was dirty, had shabby equipment, a smashed-up, smoking, death-trap van, and was impoverished, I quit my job. They also had a foul odor. He told the magazine, “I was overjoyed to get the offer. Even before we recorded “Welcome To The Black Parade,” I felt [MCR] was unique and wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to be able to shred with the band every night and contribute to their evolution.
Additionally, Bryar talked about some of his favorite recollections from his time as the band’s drummer.
