"Good ol' fashioned depression." I just died inside

Idk if I should listen to Gerard's voice or "Cancer" in the background

For a lot of reasons *CHEWING INTENSIFIES

2:32 "I mean, everybody gets depressed, it's totally normal" My favorite line ever.

honestly. I just want to hug him.

Gerard is actually on antidepressants again. He has been for the last few years. I think he's changed his opinion. Depression can be a clinical problem, but no that you can get help and that you are not alone

First time watching this and I'm just sobbing. My parents ask me why I like these bands, why they mean so much to me. These guys. These guys understand. Gerard understands. I don't feel so alone.

Did they have to play cancer I'm gonna cry

He was a 30 year-old man when he did this interview. THIRTY. isn't that crazy? (now he's 39)

I hugged him today just perfection I will never forget that feeling of being safe

...might be my favorite Gerard interview.

This is Gerard Way. One of the few greatest beings to ever live. he's actually been through that point in his life where he crumbled down to his worst state and it must be like hell for him every second of it. And he survived that he rose and climbed back up to overcome this hardship and he brought valuable lessons back with him. It's like he's been to hell and back that's what amazes me most and he experienced a lot of shits and he shares it with us like open up and spill it all out even his darkest memories and fuckkk he actually did thought he was going to die imagine that but look where he is now.GERARD WAY IS LIVING PROOF THAT NO MATTER HOW WORSE LIFE GETS, YOU NEVER LET IT PUT OUT THE FLAMES OF YOUR WILL TO LIVE DEAR GOD DEAR PLANET EARTH DEAR MILKY WAY DEAR UNIVERSE, I fucking love Gerard Arthur Way and I always will

HIS EYELASHES! I WANT THEM!

I'm sobbing like his voice is so calm and comforting and then cancer in the backround like just altogether it's making me cry, in the best way possible

Nothing motivates me to live my life more than this man.

Jesus, Gee. I just want to hug him so bad

my entire body just flew into the sun

"All your quirks and your problems, all your depressions and your failures, that's what makes you...you." NO I DIDNT JUST BURN IN FLAMES WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HAHA

every once in a while i come back to this interview, it's beautifully depressing

I am doing Gerard Way for an inspirational person speech in school. I am so nervous but I love him so much x

I wanted to clarify what I think Gerard meant when he said there was something romantic about self destruction because some people are getting the wrong idea. Self destruction is romantic not in a good way especially if it involves drugs or addiction of some kind. Let's say your drinking too much you need to be drunk so you can feel okay but you know you're doing something horrible to yourself. You want to stop by you might feel like you can't. It's like being in a relationship with someone who you know isn't good to you. You might stay with them because you love them and you're so dedicated to them that you'll let them hurt you as long as you can still be together. I don't think he was trying to promote self harm or self destruction of any kind. He said what he felt. The whole purpose of the band was to make us feel understood and I think when he makes claims like that it just makes it even more clear.

3:35 his smile looks so peaceful so blissful and cute

I'm literally crying right now. I can't help it. Everything he said, it just hit me.. About his fears with 15 and about depressions and oh god. Gerard Way is a literal angel, we must protect him at any cost.

Gerard is my role model, he's just seems like a nice guy, he got out of drugs and alcohol.he's more relatable than other celebrities, Taylor swift can go through something that we can't but Gerard can go through something we can. I just like him he's a good person.

This video makes me so happy, yet sad at the same time. It makes me happy because Gerard is one of my favorite people in the entire universe, he means so much to me and I care about him like a mother would a child, as creepy as that sounds. His voice, and just him as a person, has really helped me through some tough times, and I know it's like that for a lot of people. This also makes me sad because I feel so nostalgic while watching this, especially because Cancer was playing the entire time. It reminds me of when I spent the summer with my grandparents, and I was just getting into My Chemical Romance, and I would stay up until the birds were chirping just watching live videos and interviews and funny moments. I'm glad Gerard's better, and I'm glad he decided to start a band, and I'm glad he got that gut feeling that the band was gonna work because if he hadn't, there wouldn't be mcr, and there wouldn't be Hesitant Alien or .stomachaches. or Electric Century, or whatever Ray's doing, and they wouldn't have saved so many lives. Wow this whole thing is really corny but I don't even care.

Tears...! "I was so addicted to self-destruction. ..... There's something very romantic about it." FINALLY someone who is able to put it into words. I never knew how to describe why I didn't want to let it go. Thanks, Gerard. For everything you've ever done for us.

I can't help it I forget what he was talking about and just stared at his face I can't get over his perfection

I adore and respect Gerard as much as anyone else. But just a friendly reminder: just because pre-recovery Gerard thought there was something romantic about self destruction, doesn't make it okay to adopt those thoughts yourself! There is nothing beautiful or sweet or romantic about self destruction in any way, shape, or form. Look at how much he's changed, from then to now, and use that as you're inspiration. Sorry, I have no idea where I was trying to go with this comment.

The only person that need no comb in his life and still look like an angel.

this is the most comforting interview ever... i will never get over this

yo this man is perfect. - his eyes - his eyebrows - his eyelashes - his hair - his face shape where’s his imperfections? 🥺

There are no words to describe how much Gerard Inspires me. He is so truthful and wise and I love that he doesn't want to be cool. He is my favorite person in the world and i would give everything just to tell him that in person. He is the reason i can get through the day without completely hating life and myself. He made mistakes but yet he is still so smart and beautiful. Just hearing his voice is like the best thing in the world. I really want to meet him to thank him for saving my life. Love You Gerard so much

Maybe it's Gerard Way's genuine honesty combined with the passion of the song in the background that's making this interview such a tear jerker. I don't like getting emotional, but this makes me feel this heaviness in my chest and gut.

At 4:10 he explains how his 15yo self was afraid of not having an impact on the world. Scared of being stuck, invisible. Honestly this is 110% me. I want to try to be a guitarist someday, I'm 15 and I've been playing guitar for 1 year, and I still practice like my life depends on it. Still believing it'll get me outta this small town someday. This video has me on the verge of tears. Gerard is so perfectly unperfect ❤.

Gerard and his gum😂

ever so often i come back to these interviews

I have that fear, that I'm just gonna stay invisible, not making an impact.

How not live him? He is really emotional there, I wanna know him in real life, he is amazing

"All your quirks, all your problems, even your depression and your failures.. that's what makes you, you." gerard way everyone

its 2015 and i still cry at this

crying while watching this

He has a beautiful and innocent soul, he looks like an angel, has an angel voice, he is a genius writter and very dawn to earth. I love Gerard Way.

He's 31 years old here. Can you believe it?

I'm actually laughing because of his gum chewing after every word

he is the living proof that it gets better. thank you gerard, you are a huge inspiration to us all. i'm so glad i found out about you in my life. i will always remember the first time i listened to a mcr song, how it immediatly made me emotional. it made me feel like no other song ever had. i am so proud to call you my idol. i'll never forget how much you mean to me, or meant at one point.

I became a fan of mcr when I was 11, and I used to watch these interviews everyday, but I didnt understand what he was saying. Watching it now just blows my mind... I called him my hero before even knowing why! this man is amazing!!!!!

he looks so so so pretty

I should be sleeping but instead I'm crying over this video lol, love him sm

Thank you Gerard. For existing. You're such a beautiful person. You are a wonderful teacher. I feel like when he's talking on there, he's talking to every single one of us individually. Telling us all that "Everything will be okay." and "Be proud of who you are." It's like, even though you don't know any of us personally, I feel like you acknowledge that someone is gonna be watching this that's having a tough time in life. Thank you so much Gerard

I just want to hug him and tell him everything is going to be okay. He probably already knows that, way better than I do, but I want to tell him anyway.

This is quite possibly my favourite interview of Gerard he is so genuine and you can really see how he's a real person with real feelings X

His eyes are so pretty. I love him so much, he is one of the biggest influences on my art.

man i haven't seen this interview in almost 10 years and i was really thrown when he started talking about anti-depressants so negatively, i had completely forgotten he used to think that. it's really cool that he's said in more recent interviews that he's in a much better place now, and on anti-depressants that actually work for him. obviously anti-depressants don't work for everyone, but the idea that they take away who you are or change your personality is bullshit. i am more myself on my meds now than i ever was off them when i was sleeping 14+ hours a day, not eating, just waiting for time to kill me off.

*gee casually talking about project rev* me in the background whishing I coulda' just, hugged him during that tour the entire tiME-

I've just cried my fucking eyes out😭

I wanna hug him so fucking bad.

Mom: "Go do something productive!" Me: "Ok!" *Watches Gerard Way interviews*

k, kinda unrelated BUT THE WAY HE MOVES HIS MOUTH WHEN HE TALKS IS ASDFGHJKL

I will never get tired of this interview

And so i sit here, a tear slowly running down my face, when i realize how much this man means to me and so many other people. He really did change the world, at least for me. :,)

When he said he was always angry at nothing... I FELT THAT. 🖤🖤🖤

I relate to him too fucking much fuck

i always feel better when i hear his voice, especially when he says 'everything's gonna be okay' and 'it all works out in the end'. its really comforting

"it all works out in the end", Gerard is so encouraging! I love him for it :)

his eyes are so beautiful

He smacks his gum... Usually I would cringe but it's okay because it's him doing it.

i could listen to him talk about anything, his voice is so nice to listen to. honestly everything about him fascinates me. he’s such a unique and interesting person. proud to have him as a role model.

I'm currently trying to get sober, and his words really make me feel like there are people out there who understand.

he is so genuine, I love this man

3:19 He tried to take NyQuil and I smacked him- Frank Iero

Gerard, I don't know if you will ever read this, but you are beautiful. Your message and your music and the way you changed your life. Your message about drugs (like antidepressants) stripping you of your identity really hit home with me. Same here, I'd hardly ever take cold medicine or anything like that unless it was severe enough. My (thankfully minor) depression is controllable without meds, and even if I did try to take meds for it, I would no longer be me. "Me" is both sad and happy, successful but lonely, and alone but together. I at one time didn't think I would live to graduate high school (I had a pretty awful childhood as well), and here I am in college with a 3.99 gpa. I can identify with your struggle and your progress. I may not be a fan of your new music, but what I can appreciate is how you change and grow, and follow what makes you happy. I wish I had discovered you sooner! So, for my parting words, I have but to say stay beautiful and happy, keep living your life, and above all, you do you. Now we can both say "Trust me, "I'm Okay (I Promise)." :)

My all time favorite Gerard Way interview of all time. So much meaning

Why is he so pretty? I can't

He is so beautiful

it's 3am and I'm sobbing because I honestly love gee so fucking much and he's such an inspiration

Tears are streaming down my face right now. He's my hero. I'm not even kidding. This band is one of the few reasons I'm still here, alive. Thank you so much.

from 2:00 to 3:00 in this video... especially just that first bit where he says he was addicted to self destruction and there's something very romantic about that... that part was the beginning of the end for me as a 14 year old. I heard him say that back then and that's a big reason I allowed myself to try self harming.

This gets me every fucking time.

Tears came at "everything's gonna be okay" :'( love you so much gerard, i can't even explain waht kind of impact you've amde in my life

1:27

because im a weboo im gonna make this joke... GERARD: i was a preatty angry 15 year old Me: did a titan get your mum?

3:27 HE GOT SO EXCITED IDEK HE'S SUCH A CUPCAKE

he's fucking awesome

I watch these two interviews every day

He's so sassy and sarcastic in this 😂

.bless his heart.

Throughout this whole interview I was just clutching my chest trying so hard not to cry. He is such a beautiful human.

This man is the reason I'm alive

a 15 year old gerard is basically me right now but i'm 18 actually, i really hope i'll snap out of this situation soon coz i've wasted so many years i don't wanna waste any more.

Y'all I know this is gonna sound totally but weird but wouldn't it be amazing if Gerard would sing you a lullaby to sleep with his beautiful and calming voice like where else can you find a man like this????😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Please NEVER delete this video.

My tears started to come as soon as he said "Stuck being invisible." It's like this man see's into my brain.

i fall in love with Gerard everyday

I miss them please comeback in 2019 😭

Omg he said "find the girl I'm gonna marry" and Cancer was playing "know that I will never marry" 0:40

Whenever I'm down I watch this interview. It always inspires me, thank you Gerard.

i love him for these words. I'm depressed...sometimes when im drunk or high i feel terrible things. I want to die and stuff like that. But people know me like "this funny, crazy, awesome chick". Why the hell they dont see that I'm broken? Im afraid about the future. I want to be known, but i dont play instruments etc. Im drawing a lot, love music and books, and i have no fckin idea what to do with my life. Im just tragical romantic kind of girl. Is in it something romantic just like Gerard said?

He looks like an angel

This inspires me so much. My biggest fear is being nothing, so it's really great to hear that someone who is really successful felt the same way.This video makes me feel like I'm not alone. Gerard Way thank you for inspiring me everyday.

Thank you Gerard. He is so inspirational. He has saved so many lives. I love him , with all my heart, not just for his looks, but the things he stands for , the way he is so dedicated to what he does, and putting on a show for fans, the way he can change peoples lives after a 1 minute interview. He has saved so many lives. Thank you Gerard.
