i'm not ashamed i'm gonna show my scar

I've been watching MCR clips on youtube all day today.

Sometimes there are so many things to love about Gerard I cannot focus. 1) His STUPID FACE. 2) His STUPID SPEAKING VOICE OMG. 3) The stuff he actually DOES say when he's talking 4) His completely bizarre performance antics and faces and movements. OH GERARD.

So there's this really old mcr interview with Gerard talking about him and Mikey going to a Smashing Pumpkins concert and being mistaken for Billy Corgan all day because he had a shaved head at the time. Also Gerard being like "Yeah, [Frank] really wants to see that dude knock me out!" about Marilyn Manson, but I'm really stuck on the image of Gerard with a shaved head. That can't lead to good things. I'm kind of glad we do not have a picture.

Also, Gerard teaching Steven from Steven's Untitled Rock Star how to put on make-up. Several things about this: 1) Gerard is inhumanly pretty before he puts anything on 2) I really dig his coat 3) I love how the rest of the band is just wandering around totally randomly and ignoring the process 4) "Now all you have to do is catch the flu and have your mommy yell at you for not calling and then you're in My Chemical Romance 5) Gerard went to art school to learn to do creepy make-up, and Frank went to Catholic school to learn to tie ties.

I had seen the Bert & Gerard Q and A several times? But I had somehow never realized that Gerard was completely sober at this point, and had been for months. Ahahaha. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION.

So Steven asks what they're going to do to surprise their fans on tour, and Mikey is like "We might even shower!" and nobody reacts. *snickering*

How had I never seen the Bob Bryar solo project before now?

These ones all seem to be from the same interview, but I can't figure out a way to seem longer things of it on youbtube:

--Mikeyway likes arts and crafts, decorating, and coffee. Also, wearing his name on a sweater.

--Gerard is Mikey's favorite frontman.

--Ray refuses to point fingers at who is the really stinky people. Even though we all know.

--I don't know if I'm more thrilled by Gerard being afraid really LIVING his LIFE, or Mikey being afraid of sharks in swimming pools.

--Being from Jersey is as awesome as being from prison! Awww. I especially like Ray's little tourism speech. New Jersey has a lot to offer! (I made fox1013 watch this. I make her watch everything whenever I see them actually talking about New Jersey. It is her kryptonite.)

--I pretty much just want to give Bob Bryar hugs.

And finally, I had seen I think every other "making of" their videos, but I had never seen the one for Teenagers before, somehow. BOOOOOOOYS. Ray sitting in front of the fan! Gerard being really, truly, disgustingly pretty. Especially in the second part. I mean, in the actual Teenagers video, I'm too distracted by Gerard's being completely insane to really notice? But in this, oh my GOD. It's like. GERARD. WHAT. STOP THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAAAAAAND.

(Plus, Bob yelling at a bee. Gold.)

I would totally be going on for a long time with this, but I have to work tomorrow, so I should actually, like, go to bed. Heh.

Bob has someone fight the bee for him. That makes me happy.

I ALSO LOVE ALL THOSE MIKEY SEGMENTS FROM FUSE.

I love anything with Mikeyway. Why is there a lack of him :(

[birdsflying]

Bob's been fighting that bee all day! (and then the shot of him sweeping up! ahahahahahahaha. Oh bob! leave him alone for like, five minutes and he tries to shift an amp or tweak the soundboard. ♥)

I love them so much. *hands*

[blondiusmaximus.livejournal.com]

UGH GOD I just spent a bazillion years clicking my way through YouTube interviews with them. RIDICULOUS. ILTHEM.

*GLEEEEEEEE*

:DDDDDD

The make-up lessons interview is possibly my favorite MCR clip of all time.

"I'm half Italian so I tan really good...it's a bummer."

Oh Gerard. ♥

And it is totally my personal canon that Frank is the only one who knows how to tie a tie and thus ties everyone's tie for them.

omg, so, I am watching the Bob interview and he mentions Christina Aguilera's album as being a guilty pleasure and I immediately went, "HAH. PATRICK SO MADE YOU LISTEN TO THAT, DIDN'T HE?"

I really believe he did, dude. Patrick put it on his Best of 2006 list! I *totally* bet that's what happened.

um. yes. anyway. Hi, Erica! Hi!

I love love love all the interviews with Steven. He just seems like such a nice guy, and the boys seem to genuinely like him, and there's just never any of those horrible awkward moments you get in other interviews, where you just want to die of embarrassment for the person asking that stupid question, and the poor boys having to be polite about it on TV. Have you seen that interview where Gerard randomly starts stroking Steven's hair?

The collective MCR glee about their action figures makes me laugh and laugh. They are such huge dorks.

I can't believe Gerard was sober for the Bert Q&A. Does not compute. HAHAHAHAAA GERARD YOU AWESOME FREAK. (There is nothing not awesome about that clip. The picture of the two of them that Ma Way gave Bert for his birthday! Gerard pretending not to know what haute couture means so Bert doesn't have to be embarrassed, awww.)

And that whole Fuse Q&A thing in front of the red background is completely fabulous. Especially the ones about fears. I love how everyone is all "Spiders!" "Drowning!" "Heights!", except for Gerard, who has deep and existential thoughts about life and death. ♥ And Bob talks!

[universeunfold.livejournal.com]

I'm convinced that Mikeyway thought there were sharks in the pool because Gerard TOLD HIM THERE WERE.

Also, Mikey likes arts and crafts! Just one more reason he's awesome.

[etben.livejournal.com]

I had not seen the making of before? and OH MY GOD HOW IS HE SO FUCKING PRETTY? I DO NOT EVEN KNOW. UGH. *flappy hands* GERAAAARD.

(I also have, like, a MILLION BILLION HEARTS for frank iero and his deadpan "yeah, if we get anything wrong in the video, it'll change the meaning of the song and, like, ruin everything. ever." ♥)

You know, the make-up lesson with Steven is one of the first things I ever watched and it totally made me fall in love with Gerard. He's so serious about it! And then he does his little snorting laugh with all the tape on his face and it just cracks my shit up. Also, I think someone mentioned this but I adore all their interviews with Steven, because they so clearly adore him and he OBVIOUSLY loves them.

Here's a thought: Steven of Fuse is to MCR what Rick-the-Temp was to *NSYNC. Heh.

Also, I'd never seen the Bert Q&A and wow, they really are just that into each other. Whoa. I love the way they dance around the whole "going out" thing. And Gerard totally knows what Haute Couture is (and pronouces it correctly every time), but he doesn't want Bert to feel stupid. Good lord.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Maybe if there was more Mikey we wouldn't appreciate him so much?

...Yeah, I'm not convinced either. MORE MIKEYWAY ALWAAAAAAAAYS.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

BOB. He is just so ... BOB. You know? ♥

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It's such an inefficient way of doing things, because nothing is well labeled and it just goes from random thing to random thing, but it doesn't matter because BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYS. I LOVE THEM.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

ME TOO.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

HI SHEILA HI HI HI. ♥

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I am a little fuzzy about how catholic school taught Frank to tie *other people*'s ties. Isn't it hard to adapt from doing your own?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I CANNOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT THAT IS GERARD SOBER, I SERIOUSLY CAN'T. What the hell?

I do not think I have seen the random hair stroking one!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

There are SO MANY reasons Mikeyway is awesome, it's true.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I CANNOT DEAL WITH GERARD WAY'S PRETTINESS. HE IS GOING TO KILL ME ONE OF THESE DAYS I SWEAR.

I was talking to someone the other day about how it's almost creepy how MCR has, like, a total lack of all irony, and then we realized that maybe Frank just got to suck up everybody else's for them.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree, all the ones I've seen with them and Steven have been pretty adorable!

The idea that Gerard doesn't know what haute couture is really unbelievable, isn't it? Aw, Gerard. I also like the "we're not the dating kind" stuff, because the obvious conclusion is, you know. They're just fucking and hanging out and etc.

[neery.livejournal.com]

Good thing I am organized! (Sort of.) Random hair stroking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1DqQmZ3Jw), at about 0:39. ♥

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OH GOD HOW IS GERARD SO ADORABLE I CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT. My lord. And I was thinking that even BEFORE he started talking about LynZ.

[lovinspike247.livejournal.com]

Dear Gerard,

Please don't shave your hair again. Ever. Because if you did, you would make the fangirls cry, and that's never a good thing.

But good job looking insanely pretty, I approve.

Love,
me

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It would be horrible! And also possibly hilarious.

[lila-bet.livejournal.com]

What I love about the Makeup with Steven is that you can see Gerard blatantly checking him out...seriously watch out gor it and you'll be amazed you didn't see it before.

Oh and hello *waves*
Just read your latest fic that was recced and started to read around

To this day the Bert/G interview continues to send me on a delightful LOLLERCOASTER ride every time I see it.

Gotta love the long pause and awkward glances at Bert's direction when Gerard's trying to answer the question about them going out. Oh boys... ♥
