Am I the only one who hardcore wants another solo album from Gerard? I loved this one a lot, and I really want a chance to see him live, whether it be with the rest of MCR or not.
Victoria is a trash can he's been working on Doom Patrol (his comic book series) but it's just been released so hopefully we'll see some more music stuff from him soon
HIT MEH RIGHT IN THE FEELS and btw did you see Gee's Twitter recently? Jesus christ gerard I swear.... XD hes so weird and dorky I should be used to this by now
What I love about Gerard's voice is that it's not what's considered to be a professionally good voice in music. He doesn't try any of the little qwirks or try to make it sound cliche at all. He just sings as his voice naturally is. He sings in a way anyone can. Which is why I can never listen to his voice and not feel inspired to go and sing. I wouldn't have the confidence I do today in my band as the lead singer if it wasn't for Gerard. As cliche as that sounds in its self, its true. His voice is beautiful, it has meaning, passion and is truly from his heart. (That's what makes a good vocalist, not anything else :) )
plus the pianist had a pretty bad voice in this recording, making gerard sound like he was about to pass out. im not trying to be mean, but could he at least clear his throat?
If you watch the full performance, he's actually super excited about being there. You can tell that he was just exhausted here. This was the next to last song he performed. You can find the whole show if you just search for it.
He said he didn't want to at the beginning because people would start to expect that from him, but maybe in the future he would and that would have to be a special thing. He said that in a recent interview.
His music is evolving and maturing along with his fans. He showed everybody how rock was supposed to be done, and now he's showing everybody how Brit-Pop should be done. Gerard Way all the way!
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that Gerard is going solo, but does anyone else notice the fact that it looks like Gerard wants so be sassy and sexy and wild, but he holds himself back? I can see it somewhat in the way he carries himself. Maybe that's just me but idk
looking at him performing without his "brothers" especially mikey is really new to my eyes. my eyes is searching for mikey and ray and frank and others but as i look to Gerard right now im also content and happy for him because it feels like he have grown now, continuing to grow more and learn more, not holding everything back and he's just having a good time enjoying each moments in doing what he loves.
I actually love this album so much more than I had expected to. I bought this and stomachaches the same day, and wasn't in love with either on first listen, but now I genuinely love both for completely separate reasons.
***** It might be that he's nervous. It's natural. This is the first time he's releasing music since MCR's break up but also it's been a long time since he's perform live on stage before an audience. Give him some time ;)
I honestly don't know how to feel. I feel like he's not used to performing after like a year of no concerts. I also feel like he's still in the MCR energy feel but then realised 'wait this isn't MCR, I can't fake an orgasm on stage'. I feel like this is more restricting to him, because he channels his energy slowly and doesn't just give it his all... I mean, he probably does give it his all but I feel like he can't be more expressive because of the new vibe.
i adore gerards music - its such an interesting and new kind of vibe . you can clearly see the bowie influence and im really glad he went solo. i wish people would stop comparing it to MCR since its music in its own right and shouldn't be held back by nostalgic fans
+sim Laya ohh, your good. I was stupid last week and didn't know that that smol bean could be applied to anything cute and innocent. Just ignore me and how I think I know everything.
Wow I'm so disappointed reading these comments, MCRmy I thought you were better than this. You don't have to like his new music, hell you don't even have to listen to it! But comparing this to MCR is not fair to the music, and it's not fair to Gerard. MCR didn't break up because they all wanted to go solo and play similar things to MCR. They've said before that it just wasn't making them happy anymore, and I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather they be happy and making different music than to let them go on being MCR but being miserable. I mean if that happened then the music wouldn't have any real meaning, it would just be a fan service, and music shouldn't be about pleasing others for money, it should be about loving what you do and enjoying yourselves, and if people like it, awesome, if they don't, well then they're missing out. Shame on the people being so negative towards Gerard.
And by the way, the that ain't necessarily the true/ whole reason as to why they broke up. Mikey didn't want to do it anymore, and in 2009, Bandit was born. Not too long after, Gerard almost went back to his behaviour of 2001-2005. This included his addictions. He didn't want to go back to the addictions, and he also was always on tour, leading to Gerard not being able to see Lynz nor Bandit. This made Gerard break up the band. It wasn't necessarily that they weren't happy with MCR, Frank said he loved being in the band.
I live in France and I've been dreaming of going to Reading Festival for so looong ! Every time I had saved enough money nobody wanted to go with me (and every time somebody wanted to go with me I couldn't afford it) xD ! And next summer I'm finally going !!! It's gonna cost me an arm and a leg but that's totally worth it !
As an MCR fan, is it selfish of me to say he looked upset up there? It may be because I miss MCR but I feel like he looked happier while performing when MCR was still together..
It's his first concert in a year, he was probably a bit scared and unprepaired and it's something new for him. But I think it will be better when he will start touring ;)
I don't think its selfish of you, but as an MCR fan myself, there is an interview where Gerard says that he could never perform without his band. Now this was waaay back when they released their second album. The fact that he's gone solo is both sad (because I wish MCR was around to always make music), but also sweet because he's probably grown so much and gained enough confidence to take this one alone- to walk that road alone, awake and unafraid. :) *I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone*
Yeah his last concert was in 2009, it's the same as saying oohh it's weird not seeing matt pellissier on there... The drummer he's using was the last MCR drummer ;)
hah what Jarrod did was helping the band out because they fired the drummer before him during tour, and matt made more albums with the guys then bob did.
Anyone find it creepy how everyone who is a fan girl of MCR/Gerard Way will say 'look how much my (insert quote here) is growing up' but then he's about 25 years older than them...
Thanks BBC - loved watching this. He is such a great showman and the song is fantastic. The ending was wonderful. Now if we could only see the whole set...
Oh, I still have my old MCR shirt is actually washed, changed from black to gray hahaha I used to use it all the time. Long ago I stopped listening to MCR and never wore that shirt again, my musical taste has changed a bit, but I remember the way their music meant to my adolescent, is a treasure. Gerard is an inspiration, I wish him all the best. I think the things that mean so much we will never forget, we maintain only asleep in a special place in our hearts, at one time or another, like this, we remember with some nostalgia. Saudades...
Gerard Wah is my ultimate god and I don't think I'd be here without him he's an incredible human and I can never stop thanking him for all he has done. Killjoys. Never. Die.
