My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way: “Even I Miss Going to the Record Shop”

11/2/07, 3:01 pm EST

What does the future hold for rock & roll? Rolling Stone questioned a handful of artists about how they’ve discovered and enjoyed music in their lives — and where they see the art form going in the future — and My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way recalled how he’d anxiously awaited the arrival of the Smashing Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream. Who does Way see as important to the future of music? Conor Oberst. Click here to read his whole interview, where he dismisses the mantra “sex, drugs and rock & roll,” complains about how the world has turned greedy and intolerant, and talks about having a gun held to his head.

I don’t really get down with the My Chemical Romance, but Gerard Way’s comic book, The Umbrella Academy, published by Dark Horse Comics, is fucking amazing. No bullshit.

in response to his answer to the RS question,
“How would you describe the kids that love your band?”

well then, gerard way, here’s a huge compliment to you and your band.
even though i’m not a kid, i have met quite a few people that have become VERY important in my life because of my chem. the band, the art they make, the live shows and most especially the amazing humans i’ve met because of this band have all had a huge and beautiful effect on my life. and to those of you that don’t get it…
we don’t fucking care if ever do.

I am always tickled how you always speak for others, even when you have no idea what they are thinking. I have the perfect job for you: politician. That is NOT a compliment!!!

I love this interview, yet agian this guy gives me a reason to live, he was the guy that showed me i needed to live, and it was okay to be myself. i don’t care if other people here are gonna talk shit about him, but i wouldn’t be aalive right now if i didn’t have MCR in my life, or i’d still be wasting my lunches over in the corner reading, too afriad of the world

Chinaski taught me to hold the vast majority of the human race in contempt and to sit in a corner and read!!!

Don’t ever forget that!

cakes4rockstars | 11/6/2007, 9:30 pm EST

dear ‘Dana A New York Doll’,
i think you’re adorable, but i can’t speak for how others feel about you. since i don’t know you, it’s fairly obvious i wasn’t speaking for you. but i love the personal attention. it’s delicious. just to clarify, i was speaking for others that i actually do know that do feel that way. i thought it was pretty clear but obviously you wanted attention from me. you’re welcome.

IT IS NOT BULLSHIT! I absolutley love My Chem (I know, nobody calls them that anymore), especially Gerard. They haven’t brainwashed us, they just understand. Like many many MANY people around the world have said, My Chemical Romance saved my life. Gerard is brilliant, don’t hate.

abbstar | 1/5/2008, 10:38 am EST
