What really happened between them?

is it really cause gerard got clean and stopped hanging out with bert? or that mcr started getting too pop-ish and mainstream? you know the rumors ... bashing each other through songs and whatnot. Its a shame... then again, I'm a die hard fan of the time when they were friends.

Check this article out.

I believe Bert and Gerard were at different stages of recovery from addiction. Gerard got clean when Bob joined the group -- which I learned in LOTMS -- and I think that's how they (MCR) were able to become bigger and more successful. It was probably a sad point in their friendship when one of them was able to function sober (Gerard) and poor Bert was still not sober.

I haven't read the whole article yet, but I'm happy to hear Bert is sober now.

Hard to picture Bert saying these things when you think about who he was 10 years ago.

Good for him though.
Hopefully he can patch things up a Gerard.
It'd be sick to see them work together again.
