My Chemical Romance Vocalist Gerard Way Co-Writes Episode for Kids’ TV Series ‘The Aquabats! Super Show!’; Continues to Work on New Music

“I’m definitely not taking a break,” he explained. “I’m usually up until a minimum of 2 a.m. writing music and I’m up at about 7 a.m. with my daughter. So I’m sleeping four to five hours a night and I work from the minute I’m up after I drop her at school until I go to bed.”

While Way revealed that he has been tinkering in his home studio with multiple styles of music and playing different arrangements with various instrumentation, he won’t specify whether the songs are rock, punk, pop or something altogether different. “I’m just trying to figure out exactly what I’m supposed to do,” he said. “I take a cue from the universe and I think about that pretty deeply and go with my gut 100 percent.”

He did, however, deny any interest in doing a solo record. “I’ve never seen myself as a solo guy. Some of my favorite artists, like Nick Cave and Tom Waits, are so far beyond me right now and I feel that if I was going to do something like what they do, I’d have to be a lot older and I’d need a lot more life experience. So I don’t feel like doing that. It just doesn’t feel right.”

That puts Way in an uncertain position that will probably be dictated by fate or the right meeting with the right group of people — though he said that right now he’s putting no effort into forming a new band.

“I really haven’t been doing anything concrete except writing tons of stuff,” he said. “I’m just having experiences. I’m playing tons of instruments, constantly writing music, and I guess I’m putting myself out there and not pushing anything away. The only way I can describe it is I don’t know who I was before I started My Chem. I know that answers nothing, but that’s the point. I’m just exploring and seeing what happens.”

Gerard appears briefly in this recent video for AltPress

Our 300th issue has arrived, and we’ve done something very special to celebrate. We paired up with Gerard Way, former vocalist of recently disbanded My Chemical Romance to revisit their first cover story, which has been sold-out for years. Way took the issue into his own hands and turned it into an art project, featuring his original visual work as well as a short fictional story that you can read exclusively in AP. Pre-order bundles are available now and include a  limited edition 11x14 print of the classic MCR archway shot from issue #197, both as it ran in 2004 and modified by Way with the text, “EVERYTHING IS LOVE.” Copies of the issue with cover modifications by Gerard are available only to subscribers and those who pre-order. Prints are limited to 250 each, so act fast to secure yours.

Pre-orders available HERE.
