Band Q&A

Is this a real quote?


My life was awful. When I was a kid, I was fat, pretty ugly and had awful hair. I used to get teased every fucking day. Slammed up against lockers, punched in the face - you name it. Hell, I had to go to prom with one of my female friends because I couldnt even get a proper date. I cant even look back at those photos because I look so bad. I transfered schools, but the teasing just got worse. After a, lets say, "incident" I had with the school play, the bullying just got worse. But I made it through high school, only to find out that real life was pretty much the same. I just stayed in my dark room all day. I didnt talk to anyone, I didnt go outside. I just stayed inside and drew. I'd draw vampires, mummies, hereoes, villians. Anything to help me escape all the bad in the world. I went to art school and didnt really belong. All I could draw was comic book characters. I tried to put my only good talent to use, by drawing a cartoon and pitching it - only to have it turned down. Life to me was just pointless. I started drinking, doing drugs and just generally wasting my life drawing. Then one day, I saw bodies falling from the sky. I witnessed people dying. And thats when I decided to turn my life around. I called up anyone I knew who had an instrument and we formed a band. Being on tour for the first few years was bad. All we'd do is get drunk and do drugs, but I loved it. Because I was doing something I loved with people I loved. And a few years ago I met the most perfect woman ever. It's like we share a wavelink or something. She just knows me, without even knowing me if you understand. And now, 2011. I have a beautiful baby girl, a caring wife and I get to perform for all my adoring fans every day. I am living proof that no matter how bad life gets, it gets better. I am Gerard Way, and I survived.

It sounds like it's from a fanfic, to be honest. That's what I'd put my bets on.

You never know, I mean on Frank's shirt and the back of his guitar at the iTunes festival there were the initials "LB" and "CB". Obviously the L and C are for his girls' first names, but no one is really sure of the B's.

Hey guys

I just signed up. What a great forum.. I'll make sure to show up at times. Heh.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you know the website where someone listed links to sites where you can buy clothes that the guys wear themselves? I tried to find it till my fingers were burning, but I couldn't trace it back.
Whoever did the page did an awesome job at finding out where the guys got their clothes from and where you can get them..

I'd be so happy if one of you had the link!!

Thank you!

Adore.:

Err, this might seem like a silly question, but does anybody know what their favorite foods are? (If I remember correctly, Mikey said somewhere that he likes sushi, and I know Frank is a vegetarian.)

I'm sorry if somebody already asked this, I went through a few of the pages and I didn't see it.

As far as I can remember Frank also said he likes vienna fingers, a chocolate covered biscuit.

ok, im not even sure if this is the correct thread for this but ive looked around and it seems the best fit.

at the end of house of wolves, what is gerard saying/screaming?

this site claims "yes i, yes i, yes i am" but that didnt sound right to me, so i explored the interwebs a litte and another site said "yes i am, yes i am." that sounded more accurate but i wanted to make sure, so i kept looking. the third website interpreted it as "S-I-N. i S-I-N" like gerard is spelling 'sin.'

i just want some clarity.

Where is this quote from..?

"Screaming along to the words embedded in your heart, can give you the most happiness ever needed. When you’re shoved against a sea of bodies and you don’t know what sweat actually belongs to you or your neighbour, you can barely breathe and in that moment, your favourite song starts playing and you forget about everything: all you’re concerned with is the melody, rhythm, and beat of the song. All you care about is singing your heart out and knowing it’s okay to love something maybe a little too much as long as it’s real to you."

-Gerard Way

thanks, you two.
