  • 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"

  • 04/2005 bravo german magazine

    “you don’t know pain! on their website my chemical romance brag about how many injuries they have sustained during their live shows. mikey broke his toes. frank knocked out a few teeth. ray got a scar on his head and gerard tore his lips. after the five from new jersey released their debut album I brought you my bullets you brought me your love. while they thrilled the rock world in 2002 they also lived to excess in their private lives. gerard swallowed vodka and pills, drummer bob having suffered a nervous break down. "this has only made us grow as a band” believes gerard. and the new album three cheers for sweet revenge proves him right"
