My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way: The Six-Pack Q&A

8/9/07, 9:36 am EST

Rolling Stone posed six questions to My Chemical Romance singer/comic book artist/proud Jersey boy Gerard Way. He professed his love of Joan of Arc, squids and Ziggy Stardust (and discussed what it was like being “touched in the head”).

What’s the most rock-star thing you’ve ever done?
That’s really hard to come up with. I haven’t done anything rock star. I walked into a club in Canada with sunglasses on. I thought it would be cool. It was a total dick move.

What was your favorite album at age fourteen?
Live After Death by Iron Maiden. Easily. I listened to that thing for five years straight. That’s one of the things that really made me want to be a live performer.

How do you like to spend downtime on tour?
I write my comic book, which is amazingly fun. And I want to do serious paintings of Joan of Arc and squids. Joan of Arc is my favorite historical-legendary-whatever figure. Number one, it’s a boyish, waifish girl in a suit of armor on a white horse, and that’s badass. I’ve always been attracted to that character because it was somebody who was willing to die for what they believed in, and they were probably fucking crazy and like, touched by the hand of God, and I believe in that shit. I totally believe in that stuff. I believe that it can happen to anybody.
Like when we started this band, there was a brief amount of time where it felt like you drank gasoline and shit glass, and you were always covered in your own sweat, somebody else’s spit or blood or something. And I felt that, you know what I mean? I would make crazy speeches that made no sense onstage. I would talk about purifying flames being shot out of our cabinets at max volume to destroy evil and shit like that. I was, you know, touched in the head. And really, when you get touched in the head like that, I think your job at that point for the rest of your career is to remember what it was like to be touched in the head, and kind of keep that going. ‘Cause that can’t last forever, you’ll be dead, I think. Like Joan of Arc. So, yeah, I love Joan of Arc. And squids. Honestly, the shapes, the disgustingness of them, the suckers, the fact that they’re in the ocean. I’m a huge Hellboy fan so I draw lots of squids.

Who’s the coolest famous person you’ve ever met?
Johnny Marr. It was in Norway at a festival. He was amazing. He came up to get something signed for his daughter, and I basically nerded out on him. We talked a lot about Portland, OR, because he’s living there and I’m thinking of living there.

Name three records on your current playlist.
1) LostAlone, Say No to the World. They’re a really young, three-piece band from Nottingham. It’s a perfect record. There aren’t a lot of those. It’s a rock band but it’s really new-sounding. It’s fresh. It makes me feel angsty again and I haven’t heard anything that makes me feel that way in a long time.

2) David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. I listen to that all the time, but lately I’ve been listening to it front to back. It’s my desert-island album.

3) Mew, Frengers. It’s the album before the new one, and it’s great. They’re one of my favorite new bands ever.

When do you think you’ll know it’s time to retire?
When inside it doesn’t feel special anymore. Or if I can’t keep a personal sense of ownership anymore. If we can’t keep a sense it’s ours anymore, we’ll walk away.

Honestly this is rolling stone, why the fuck do we need to read about some Emo pop star?

Country Crotch | 8/9/2007, 10:59 am EST

Can someone slap this guy in the head for me? Thanks.

MegaCorpse | 8/9/2007, 11:08 am EST

I like Gerald Way. You go slap yourself in the head. This interview just sucks

Ashlie | 8/9/2007, 11:10 am EST

I love Gerard and MCR none of them are afraid to be themselves. I’ve learnt a lot from them.

LiquidHeaven | 8/9/2007, 11:19 am EST

He looks like a twat in that picture who the fuck is he Elvis Costello? Or maybe he’s trying to emulate Bowie. Either way he looks like a twat. Don’t do that again for your own sake son.

Bill Bones | 8/9/2007, 11:20 am EST

i’m afraid of myself Ashlie

ownage | 8/9/2007, 11:23 am EST

Corey Hart probably looked cooler wearing his sunglasses at night

Sixth Root | 8/9/2007, 11:31 am EST

MCR is pretty much the Warrant of today. Gerard…you dont have ownership. You combined Thursday and Sgt Peppers and sold it to 12 year olds. You’re a business not a band.

Little Billy Boy | 8/9/2007, 11:36 am EST

I am 7 years and I am biggest fan of My Chemical Romance. They play the loud hard music that I like and jump all around to them! I have posters of Gerard in my room too because he is so cool! I wish I can go see them play in concert but my mommy won’t let me. I love My Chemical Romance and they play the music that little boys like me and girls can listen to! Bye!

eddie | 8/9/2007, 11:48 am EST

Hell yeahs, Live After Death.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner!!!

j | 8/9/2007, 11:58 am EST

i’m one to be unkind towards emoish, but why rip this dude a new one? In what way does this guy seem to deserve any shit talking? From all accounts, the dude seems like a real straight up guy that honestly knows a great deal about fucking great music, lay off the dude, christ…

Pedd E. Fylle | 8/9/2007, 12:12 pm EST

hey “yea?”,,,,,,oh by all means,,,,,,let’s cater to YOUR wants and needs,,,,,,,,,honestly,,,what a self center a-hole you are!!!

matt | 8/9/2007, 12:13 pm EST

god they suck

Chemical-Eclipse | 8/9/2007, 12:15 pm EST

why does everyone consider my chem emo? everyone is emo get over it!

gee seems to say shit a whole lot in a sentence lol. just pointing out obvious, love my chem.

Shark Sandwich | 8/9/2007, 12:17 pm EST

Is that the lead singer of Keane? Someone should replace the deli tray on MCR’s rider with whiskey and coke

NYC Nate | 8/9/2007, 12:25 pm EST

To all of the haters on the board: you don’t get Brian May from Queen on your record if you don’t have some creds. And why the string of negativity? Because MCR writes songs with hooks in them? I get the feeling that there are a lot of washed-up, never-made-it musicians who write on these boards. Maybe if you had sit with your instruments rather than putting your energy into hating shit so much, you would’ve made it somewhere.

Maggie | 8/9/2007, 12:28 pm EST

I’m wit him on Mew’s Frengers being a great album, but I’m really hesitant about agreeing with a guy who’s been “touched in the head”.

Dean | 8/9/2007, 12:35 pm EST

There are a lot of haters that comment on every article this website has. Dang.

I don’t prefer My Chemical Romance, but I’m not gonna get on here and be a jerk and talk crap about the guy. Let him do his thing.

Gerard Way has managed to gain some popularity over the past few years. Jealous? Yes, I think you are.

This guy has fame and fortune… he doesn’t care what you think. So go ahead and rant about how much you hate him and how lame he is.

… Whatever helps you sleep at night.

sweetnessfollows | 8/9/2007, 12:39 pm EST

what he said about joan of arc is possibly the stupidest and most brain dead thing ive ever read.

someone | 8/9/2007, 12:47 pm EST

Lets see some of you haters sell millions of records..Gerard Way has been through a lot of pain in his life, and he absolutely deserves the success his band has had. Sure, this wasn’t the best interview with him, but please, don’t judge him on that.

Shark Sandwich | 8/9/2007, 12:48 pm EST

NYC Nate
You are correct that Brian May got himself on MCR’s record. I suppose it was out of the goodness of his heart. For a price you could get Roger Waters on your record. But a shit sandwich is still a pile of crap stuffed inside a nicely packaged kaiser roll. Respect that some of us music fans aren’t all washed up musicians. I think the photo and Iron Maiden street cred comment this twat up.

Nikkidoo | 8/9/2007, 1:17 pm EST

Maybe he was touched in the bum.

NYC Nate | 8/9/2007, 1:23 pm EST

Yeah, Shark Sandwich…everyone is entitled to an opinion, but proporting it as a fact is juvenile. Your metaphor for shit sandwiches proves to me where you’re at intellectually and you are missing my point entirely. And claiming to be a “music fan” is a cheap way to (ironically) talk all music down except for, oftentimes, the most obscure artists (or metal bands because metalheads hate everything and anything but metal). That’s cool if you don’t jive well with MCR. I’m just saying that lashing out is an act of lameness usually associated with people who suffer from “SPPS” – Small Pee-Pee Syndrome. But, thanks for singling me out today anyway, Shark Sandwich. I needed a good laugh. I’d welcome you to debate anytime.

Big Nate | 8/9/2007, 1:24 pm EST

Is he doing a John Mayer impersonation in that picture?

Big Nate | 8/9/2007, 1:26 pm EST

By the way, Brian May was on American Idol once too, credibility is not required to get him, just cash.

One Fish Two Fish | 8/9/2007, 1:29 pm EST

I think my Chemical Romance is very different than other emo bands. I am not a fan of emo, but I can dig a little My Chemical Romances now and again. I think they just come off as being much more mature than other emo bands, lyrically and musically, and I find that to be more attractive.

Besides that, I thought what he had to say in this interview was really interesting. Being touched by god and destroying evil with flames shooting out of cabinets. Wow. See, that to me is creativity, even in personal beliefs, and I admire that. I admire even more that he is willing to share his personal beliefs with other people.

Shark Sandwich | 8/9/2007, 1:38 pm EST

NYC Nate:
Its all good.
Go rent Spinal Tap and you will understand the metaphor.
I have to agree with Big Nate.

Shark Sandwich | 8/9/2007, 1:40 pm EST

Big Nate: When did Keane change their name to My Chemical Romance?

Perez | 8/9/2007, 1:50 pm EST

My Deli Tray Romance

marnr67 | 8/9/2007, 2:10 pm EST

you know they’ve never really been my cup of tea. but they’re definitely worthy of being the hardrock band of our generation. they get my snooty-bob-dylan-loving-elitis t-asshole props.

killingfloor | 8/9/2007, 2:12 pm EST

My Chubby Romance……..has he been eating the squids with cheese and fries?

lu z. | 8/9/2007, 2:26 pm EST

gerard’s an amazing artist who has had to struggle his whole life to get to where he is today. this wasn’t the greatest interview with him but he can be very articulate and there’s no doubt that he’s an intelligent, creative, hard-working guy. he and his band deserve our respect for overcoming what they did.

Shannon | 8/9/2007, 2:31 pm EST

Dude, why is everyone hating so bad on them?

Gerard is NOT fat first off..
and just because you have nothing better to do than sit on your computer in your moms basement writing shit about bands other people like, doesn’t make you seem cool.
Get a life.

No matter what you say, it wont make MCR any less popular.
They’re still richer than you, they still are more popular than you, and still, more people love them than you will ever have love you.

So honestly, I think all of you haters are just jealous that your life isn’t as great as theirs.

Its pretty sad.
Grow up.

HeartIsInJersey | 8/9/2007, 2:45 pm EST

Oh..The boy’s gone clinically insane AGAIN.

SATAN | 8/9/2007, 3:13 pm EST

Like My Chem
Don’t like “Touched In The Head”

makes him sound like a retard

lik roper | 8/9/2007, 3:17 pm EST

the most rock star thing i ever did? hmmm…two cashiers at a taco bell in utah or something asked if the tour bus driver (who we named mario andretti because he would often have us bouncing off the ceiling in our bunks) and i were ‘in a band’ – i said ‘he’s just the bus driver’ which obviously angered him, because when i got dropped off in hollywood he not only showed me his stack of bill$ that i didn’t make, but also reminded me that he always carried a gun underneath the front seat, just in case there was trouble on the road…

Pedd E. Fylle | 8/9/2007, 3:20 pm EST

NYC Nate was’nt complaining of “SPPS” when my junk was in his mouth. Nate, you seem like smart guy, but way to often come off as a snively little bee-ach with an ax to grind,,,,,,I suspect small pee-pee syndrome,,,,,,

... | 8/9/2007, 4:30 pm EST

^^
Nobody forced you to read the article. The band’s not here to please everyone, they’re there for whoever actually gives a shit about them.

Schultz | 8/9/2007, 4:46 pm EST

disgustingness – though a word, not normally used by half way intelligent people.

Don’t like Gerard, never have. Don’t like MCR. DOn’t know why I even read this crap.

Bell | 8/9/2007, 4:47 pm EST

Freakin PORTLAND??????
I live there.
He’s amazing.
Gosh

Dean | 8/9/2007, 4:51 pm EST

I don’t draw pictures of them, but I actually think giant squids are pretty dang cool. There is so much mystery involved with them. A japanese scientist snapped the first ever picture of a live giant squid a few years ago and some fisherman caught a giant squid this year, and that’s the first time that’s ever happened.

Big Nate | 8/9/2007, 4:52 pm EST

All of you people defending this band are going to feel pretty stupid in about 5 years when they’re a laughingstock. Of course you’re probably the same people who bought Limp Bizkit albums and Creed’s greatest hits.

PastyJournalist | 8/9/2007, 5:10 pm EST

He’s right…Live After Death is a really f**king great album.

Liquid Feces | 8/9/2007, 5:10 pm EST

LOL @ Schultz and Big Nate.

These guys are gonna be a bunch of has beens just like Fall Out Boy and Lincoln Park. You’re gonna find their CD’s in the Discount Bins at Best Buy and Circuit City.

Vicki | 8/9/2007, 5:30 pm EST

Every person that took the time to sit at teh comptuer and write up a comment bashing Gerard and MCR are complete and totally idiots. Don’t like Gerard? Fucking deal with it. If you think you’re so much better then him I’d like to see you put out 3 albums and go through what he and his band mates went through.
I don’t understand why you people actually take time out of your lives to bash bands you don’t like.
My Chem doesn’t give a fuck what you say anyways.

As for the interview.
lol Gerard, you are complete and utter weirdo but that just makes you even better :]

T. Rex | 8/9/2007, 5:36 pm EST

“They’re still richer than you, they still are more popular than you, and still, more people love them than you will ever have love you.”

To Shannon –

First off, I would like to point out that I dislike MCR greatly and I am not defending them. Secondly, I would like to say that the sentence that I quote above is one of the most nonsensical, illogical, and blatantly dumb things I have ever read. Let’s start off with the monetary aspect – how much money you have does not define you, and in my opinion it makes you less human and leaves you alienated and detached from a sense of morals. It’s people like you who think that money has more value than it’s actually worth. Money is the root of all evil. If you think Gerard Way is a better person than whoever wrote that because of money, you need serious help. Then you said that he was “more popular than you”. I feel like I am repeating my self, but being famous and popular inflates your ego, alienates you from society, and leaves you with no sense of boundaries. In my eyes, being popular is more of a reason to dislike someone. Lastly, you said “more people love them than you will ever have love you”, which is downright arrogant and you have no evidence, nor will you ever have any evidence, to prove that. It’s absurd. You yourself need to get a life and think before you write.

Frenchie | 8/9/2007, 7:14 pm EST

Mcr isn’s emo!

Panties in a Twist | 8/9/2007, 8:07 pm EST

Okay, freak-a-leaks…what is the deal with everyone bashing MCR? I am an older fan (31), I feel as though I am pretty diverse in my music likings and it just ticks me off that so many people act as though just because a band has a lot of fans, or that they are played often on the radio, that they must be trash….WTF!! Seriously, can you people just shut the heck up? If you don’t like the way someone is dressed when you are walking down the street….do you shit on them? I thought music was about expressing yourself….in your own way. You people needs some serious social skills and you also need to let people be who they are…even if they are spouting out crazy drivel…..

Gee you are an absolute fruitcake…that is one of the reasons your fans love you!! Stay Loopy!

kelly | 8/9/2007, 8:54 pm EST

Gerard is so kickass!

Shannon | 8/10/2007, 12:20 am EST

To T. Rex-

I do have a life.
My life is MCR, and I defend them when people try bashing them down.
If you dont like what I say, than dont make yourself look dumb by reply back to me.

“Honestly this is rolling stone, why the fuck do we need to read about some Emo pop star?”

Have you checked the recent cover of RS? Zac Efron? I don’t think the magazine should be held at a high standard anymore.

mee | 8/10/2007, 4:27 am EST

fuck yeh.
gerard is so fucking honest.
squids :]
hahaha, hes so cool.

Amanda | 8/10/2007, 4:40 am EST

Wow. unbelieveable.

why do you people fight over the internet?
even if you win, your still retarded.
so have fun sitting here

MCR = Cool As

Lady Macbeth | 8/10/2007, 1:05 pm EST

“Emo-pop star”

Ha.

I would love to give some lengthy elaborate response to that comment but, lacking the time and energy and not wanting to waste that much cyber-breath on someone so ignorant, I will simply say, HA!

meghan | 8/10/2007, 1:10 pm EST

who is johnny marrs daughter?

Lady Macbeth | 8/10/2007, 1:13 pm EST

Anyone who says My Chem are “emo” or “a business, not a band” and have actually done any small amount of research on the topic have obviously been “touched in the head” in a very profound way.

givinghell | 8/10/2007, 2:41 pm EST

i just love gerard way but this interview just was bad!

helene | 8/10/2007, 3:11 pm EST

OMFG. he talked about a guy from the NORWEAGIAN FESTIVAL (hove) XDDD i was there!! XDD i’m stupid.

Yay! | 8/10/2007, 4:41 pm EST

Go Norway! :) ^^

reaperLUVSgerard!! | 8/10/2007, 6:05 pm EST

i just absolutely LOVE mcr! but i think music is a way to express yourself and if anyone tells anybody differently then they are just jerks who dont even deserve to talk to you! if someone tries to put you down for singing then just ignore them and do what you do! MCR is expressing themselves in their own way and no one should be able to tell them how to do their job. i love their music just how it is!

reaperLUVSgerard!! | 8/10/2007, 6:17 pm EST

if you want to bash up my FAV bands reputation then you might want to just see what i say to you if you are ******* stupid enough to send something back! i dont even like you but i love MCR, and if you mess with them i will post so many things on the internet about yall that will make your reputation so freakin’ bad that you wont even want to be in business anymore! STOP POSTING LIES AND HURTFUL THINGS BEFORE I FREAKIN PROTEST!! I AM LISTENING TO MCR WHILE I TYPE THIS TO MAKE A MORE DRAMATIC AFFECT!!

P.S: I LOVE YOU GERARD!! :D

Jo | 8/10/2007, 8:37 pm EST

In MY opinion, MCR are a great band, and I respect people who think otherwise, cos I dont expect everyone to be the same. I think that the problem in society [without meaning to sound too melodramatic or cliche] is the lack of respect and tolerance we have towards each other. Difference isnt a problem if we respect it. And if people want to go off and listen to damn Gipsy Kings or Justin Timberlake its got nothing to do with me, so I think its utterly wrong and small minded of people to talk shit about a band/person/music genre they might not even know much about, and that have done nothing wrong. i think that there are bigger things to worry about, like the worlds being run by damn idiots, and war [you know, actual INJUSTICE]. HA! sorry about the rant :D

on a lighter note – David Bowie rocks :D

bekki | 8/10/2007, 9:31 pm EST

i love gerard way soo much he is so cool and i love MCR they freakin ace man xxxxxxlove yaxxxxx

Koko | 8/10/2007, 10:20 pm EST

That last question just got me anxious. >_*coucoughhilaryduffcoughcough*
Oh God. Someone called him Gerald. *shoots*
Gerard, I love you more for being a Joan of Arc fanboy. I can’t believe they burned her at the stake. Stupid witchburnings. Leave us alone. We do no bad.

Koko | 8/10/2007, 10:22 pm EST

Oh crap. They messed with my comment. Ignore the cough and NEVER TALK ABOUT RETIREMENT EVER AGAIN.

huuwa | 8/11/2007, 1:24 am EST

yeah my chem forever. they should be on the cover, not that high school musical guy. frank iero’s the man, though.

haras | 8/11/2007, 9:00 am EST

stop dissin my homeboi mans

1 | 8/11/2007, 6:15 pm EST

I love Gerard so much!
I love MCR!
They saved my life.
The last question was bad. :|
“yea?”…”Emo pop star”?! you wish!

Emily | 8/11/2007, 6:56 pm EST

I think Gerard Way is amazing. Not just because he is amazingly hot but because one of his song “Cancer” is helping me to get through my Aunts Cancer. So I think he is great

Rachelle | 8/11/2007, 10:43 pm EST

i love gerard way so much,,
i love his band[mcr]

MCR Girl | 8/12/2007, 1:52 am EST

They will never retire they rock to much.

T-Cat | 8/12/2007, 6:11 pm EST

I love MCR, duh. Squids… lol. Gerard’s a little weird sometimes, I mean that with LOVE.

danielle | 8/12/2007, 8:29 pm EST

squids…hahahahhaha

Twister411 | 8/12/2007, 10:02 pm EST

Don’t be haters! It’s only music people!

I like MCR, I also like a lot of other bands. I don’t get why people are upset because they do write about their lives.

Reality, experiences, and love are usually the main topic all song writers use.

Growing up, all heavy metal bands wrote about “love and heartbreak”. They also wrote really bad outfits and had long shaggy hairs. Are they emo?

punky monkey | 8/12/2007, 10:12 pm EST

gerard is one of the most hottest guys around but i think ryan ross n brendon r the hottest sorrrrrrrry^^

punky monkey | 8/12/2007, 10:12 pm EST

jade | 8/13/2007, 1:07 am EST

i LOVE MCR W/ A PASSION!! “emo pop star” what the hell? but this interveiw wasnt the best =[ but squids…haha gerard cracks me up. oh, i have a question:why does everyone call my chem an “emo” band? thats stupid, were all emo if you think about it…ive shared my peace, im leaving
MCR ROCKS!!!!! THEYLL NEVER DIE, NEVER!!

Oh my! | 8/14/2007, 6:32 pm EST

Okay, I just want to add my piece to this: I personally love My Chem. I know they will retire, probably within ten years or less, and I know that one day they may be considered by some as “has-beens,” seeing as how many people already hate them or consider them sell-outs. If you are one of the people who hold this opinion, that’s fine with me. One rule that I abide by is to NEVER let someone tell me what/who to like, or that it is cool/uncool/good/bad etc. to appreciate certain kinds of music. To all the people who are simply writing unintelligent comments on this, mainly to annoy the others posting, I pity you. Do you really have so much hate and ignorance in you that you must take it out on a Rolling Stone article’s comments section? To the MCR fans who are being just as indignant and ignorant, I pity you as well. Just because you like the band gives you no right to argue with the bashers. And to the rest of you, whether fan, hater, or otherwise, all it proves when people argue and write unknowledgable things is that they have virtually no life. So please, write related (or at least intelligent!) comments!

Oh, and this iterview really isn’t all that great for such a brilliant artist of his kind… :(

Charlie | 8/15/2007, 6:58 pm EST

Fuck yeah, NORWAY! Representin’! :D
To “Oh My!”: I’m not even going to comment on dA h8rZ, because what you said sums up my views perfectly. High five! (:

DEAD | 8/16/2007, 7:11 pm EST

i love MCR i just bought there new cd “the black parade” my favorite song on it is DEAD!!!!!!!!! if you know you like MCR as much as me email at SububiaBomb35@gmail.com

Myself | 8/18/2007, 3:39 pm EST

To answer your question, yea?, people on here like different things and have different opinions. Personally, I think my Chemical Romance is okay. If I saw it on TV, I probably wouldn’t change the channel unless something better was on. Nice voice. He’s cute.

xx !Disenchanted for life! xx | 8/19/2007, 3:54 am EST

hey there

i love love love love my chemical romance (especially gerard) and was really upset wen i heard bout him and his ‘future Mrs’.

the reason why i love these guys so much is cause they sing from the heart. because in my personal opinion i frikin hate singers that focus all there songs on love and guys loving girls and girls loving guys. its a total waste! thats something that happens in reality and everyone knows that! music is like a different world that needs to be creative and my chemical romance does exactly that! they sing from the heart and they create that new world! thats what all singers should do!

for people that dislike my chem, thats ok! everyone dislikes something/someone. but if do, thats one less person/thing/band that you love. and it does hurt some people to hear that you dont like my chem. so if you dont like my chem, keep it inside!
for those that do like my chem, you guys are totally rad and keep on loving them cause there is heaps more to come from them!!!
xxx peace out xxx

well well well
Kool interview. Everyone does have a right to their opinion. ppl can read what they want..believe it or not..not everyone loves MCR. so all you “to die for fans” needa get the hell over it. Sooner or later MCR will retire. It happens. It’s life.

yes they are my favorite band but its reality…stop living in a dream world worshipping guys you dont know.

the black parader | 8/26/2007, 3:47 pm EST

i can just truly say that mcr are the cooliest band ever.Anything that has been said (nasty stuff)they have risen above it . they are just the band that everyone should love.gerard ,ray ,bob,mikey and frank are sooooooooooooo hotttttt
and music is just music you shouldnt treat a band so nastily that you get their fans upset and mcr rule

Mcrfan | 9/2/2007, 3:43 am EST

I LOVE gerards Little Comics!
Three cheers For sweet revenge pic was cool!There just the right band for me! There so brave!

monica d | 9/4/2007, 11:35 pm EST

well, i really like mcr for what they’ve done.

i dont like people bashing them, it kinda makes me a little pissed off, but you’re right, everyone has their own oppinions. they’ve really opened my eyes to new music and styles of art and clothing. gerard is incredible, as are the bad behind him.

i hope they live a happy, healthy life.

*Dies from all the awful grammer I just read*
Look, you little emo-hardcore-wanna-be kids, just GET OUT. Please go worship some other person and leave My Chem alone? I know they love all their fans, but its little grammatically incorrect emo shits like you that make me almost feel ashamed at my taste in music.
But regardless, I still love My Chem.

gerard’s appearance’s is an ancient sculpture.haters are shy (or ashamed)to admit that such things as love exist in their life

The Gery Effect~ | 12/25/2007, 3:03 am EST

Gerard Way, he is amazing, i honestly believe the band will make it all the way. I dispise the way that people say MCR is an emo band and how they also Lable Gerard emo as well. Gerard you are amazing and i can’t wait till I meet you in-person when we are competing in the Future. ^_^ one day, lets just hope you can last that long. Love ya,
A.P.Willis

Never ending Sickness~ | 12/25/2007, 3:10 am EST

Gerard Way is absolutly amazing, I love his voclas, and he seems very determand in life. The fact that he is trying to finish all of his dreams is great. He will be and is already very succesful.
I only hope that one day we will meet in the long run, “Gerard, Live long don’t ever stop beliving and keep holding on”

MCR’s performances last night was so great. I know you gotta respect the music and the essence of the song, but hey i’m so in love with Gerard i just can help screaming his name. There might not be a second chance they’ll visit Indonesia.
MCR keep it up, i love ‘ur works. Thanks for all the hard works

jess | 2/8/2008, 3:28 pm EST

gerard is not at all an emo pop star. he’s a cool rock star and i think he is the best singer and that it is cool that he writes his own comics

jess | 2/8/2008, 3:34 pm EST

i’ll have to say, this sounds alittle obsessed, but i love gerard.HE IS HOTT! i love how he is so dramatic during his music videos,he really gets into the song i want to go to art school also because i love to draw. i was in art club for 3 years straight,and i look up to him

courtney | 4/13/2008, 7:25 pm EST

Trey | 5/17/2009, 9:59 am EST

This is funny…it’s great to see people bitching and then see people bitching about people bitching. Gerard is a cool dude. Not so much in his music but eh it happens.

Trey | 5/17/2009, 10:04 am EST

And you know while I’m still here…yeah, emo is a way of life. ok cool. And i shouldn’t hate on your own opinions…ok yeah heard it before. But you see i have opinions of my own. And they are that your opinions suck and that they control your style and eventually your life without you even noticing. So i mean yeah gonna speak my mind I like to help people. I do not like to explain things you already know though so that’s enough typing.

a person . | 6/21/2009, 11:50 pm EST

Lets all calm down ,
If you like my chemical romance, great .
If you don’t, get off the lead singers fucking interview page.
keep doing what your doing Gerard, your a life saver , literally.

Aida | 11/17/2009, 1:55 pm EST

well… lots of people don’t like MCR, but i don’t think it’s 4 that 4 what they said all that stupid things, maybe they were just bored…

i used to have a friend, she didn’t like MCR and we were good friends. one day she asked me to make a copy of a MCR album and the next day, when i was talking with more friends (all fans of MCR), she said “i don’t like this shit”
i haven’t heard a “sorry” 4 her part since that 23-june-2009, but we’re not friends anymore.

think about how the others feel when u say all that rubbish!!

xo.

Rachel | 11/17/2009, 10:34 pm EST

Okay, quick question?
Do you people even know what emo is?
Because, Gerard is obviously not emo.
It’s a genre of music, guys.
How can Gerard be a music genre?
Seriously, the dude can do lots of fucking amazing stuff, but not be a genre of music.
Duh!
Secondly, if you hate him or the guys of MCR so much, why the heck would you be here?
Wow, what a waste of time commenting for nothing…

Alf | 11/18/2009, 4:22 pm EST

fuck ¬¬
MCR ISNT EMO

MYbelovedROMANCE | 11/18/2009, 7:16 pm EST

My Chemical Romance is not an emo band. They are not a death cult. They aren’t out to sell out.

They make fucking great music and they put on a great show. When you watch them onstage, you can see and feel the passion that Gerard, Mikey, Frank, Ray, Bob and James put into it. It a raw energy like you’ve never felt before.

Stereotyping them isn’t cool either. And no matter what they choose to do is a personal choice. I mean, come on. Who of us hasn’t once put on a pair of sunglasses and dreamt of walking into a club. Or belting out a song in front of the mirror, pretending you’re onstage.

And they actually play their instrments too. Which is more than I can say for 90% of music today.

I’m not saying that they’re perfect, but calling the Emo Cult’s and saying that they wrecked the alt-rock scene is wrong.

Nat | 11/20/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Hahaha. I think that EVERYONE here is fucking hilarious in all of their petty arguements. Personally, I respect Gerard.

But this article, much like how almost ALL magazines/journalists do, portrays Gerard as… well, kind of a douchebag and not the brightest.

But this man is just about brilliant, and deserves everything that he and his band have achieved for themselves.

Get a life.

Also, Rolling Stone is well on its way to becoming a kiddie mag.
