gerard did this guys voicemail
(he downtown at farmingdale ny 7/25/2003 – fan account below)
“Ah. The walk outside. Fresh air. I called Jodi overratedantime who lives in COLORADO!!! And we talked for a little bit. MCR was hanging out by their van and packing stuff. I stood at a tree. Watching Gerard. My idol. Cigerate in one hand. Towel over his neck, basking in himself. Talking to two guys from Jersey about where he grew up. Geard. Gerard. GERARD.
I asked Gerard to do my voicemail:
Drew: Hey G, I met you at Knitting remember?
Gerard: Yeah man, whats up Drew?
Drew: Nothing could you record my voicemail?
Gerard: Course, give me 5 minutes.We went to a dominoes a few feet away and got pizzas. They were subpar. We went back and Gerard recorded my cell phones voicemail:
“Hey youve reached Drew, hes not here right now, leave him a fucking message. This is Gerard from My Chemical Romance.”
Want to hear it? Send me an IM: xPhantomsForever saying your gonna call or call me, and listen to it. If I pick up just tell me who you are and ill just not pick up when you call again. The number: 000.000.0000 Gerard and I talked for 5 more minutes. I was getting to scared to talk to him anymore so I gave a firm handshake and said goodbye as I walked away…Gerard Way.“

gerard is sink pisser and its endearing
“at the recent bloomfield ave show, me and my friend steve were waiting in line for the bathroom. gerard comes over and gets in line with us. we were talking about various things such as his lack of leather, the scene, etc. meanwhile, the rest of the band were halfway through setting up. when it’s steve’s turn for the bathroom, gerard was like
"dude, i really gotta be on stage, but i don’t want to seem like a rockstar or nothing by cutting you in line.. do you think i could piss in the sink while you go?”
well, needless to say, i was very careful about my business when it was my turn, so i wouldn’t have to use that sink.
a month later, at hellfest, i caught gerrard on his way to the port-a-potties. and informed him that there were no sinks to urinate in.“

2003 interview rec room magazine
Jessica: Can you give us a brief synopsis of the past two years, like how it all got started?
Mikey: Basically, we went to this evil magician and we told him to make us rock & roll superstars. So he took a pint of each of our blood and put it in a cauldron.
Ray: Obviously he fucked up, cause look at us.
Mikey: We’re not rock & roll superstars, but we’re sweet little dudes.
Frank: It’s been really good. We’re really lucky.
…
Mikey: He wouldn’t answer because he’s dead. I’d probably ask Morrissey how it feels to be a sweet little dude.
Frank: He might show you too.

gerard talks about 07/2003 spin shoot
gerard talks about his first spin shoot:
“they were calling me speed stick because I smelled so bad. and um basically he’s like "I want you to go to my cd collection. I want you to pick out whatever you want and I’m gonna give you a microphone and you’re gonna basically karaoke it. since I was like "yeah- you can’t fake singing and so we put on black flag and I was singing "nervous breakdown” and this guy comes over with a beer and just starts spraying me with water. and this is like shit i’d never.. let people do. and I was super into it. just got me soaking fucking wet. headbanging and singing. and it’s one of my favorite photos. and it ran in a page I think the guy from stellarstar was in it. and that was the first spin thing"
