Birth Place?

Okay, Obviously at the top of the page, it says that Gerard Way was born in Newark, New Jersey.

But at his bio part, it says that he was in fact, born in Summit, New Jersey.

Does anybody else find this confusing?

I'm pretty sure Mikey was born in Summit, NJ.

Sorry if this confuses anybody else. I just thought i'd like to point that out.

FIX IT! Thanks.

Gerard was briefly in a band called Ray Gun Jones with Ray Toro prior to MCR. They only played a few shows and never released anything so maybe this doesn't qualify as an associated act. Ray Gun Jones is however mentioned in the Career, Music section. Copaface182 (talk) 14:48, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

I think that there should be a more recent image of Gerard Way as he now has red hair.

Lemme know. EDIT: I put the current picture of Gerard up (kneeling down and singing in the Manchester Apollo gig October 2010. It's been there a while so I assume it's staying.

Did he really? Where? What'd he say? And I totally agree, but you can't upload any random pictures up here. Your best bet is to search sites likes flickr or deviantart for photos that were uploaded by the same person who took the photo (and owns the rights for the photo), they're usually concert photos or from meet-and-greets or such, and ask them if they can give the picture a Creative Commons license so it'd be legal to upload here. --194.150.65.7 (talk) 16:43, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Relationship with Eliza Cuts

People need to stop adding Eliza Cuts into the Personal Life section. Despite popular belief that she and Gerard were in a relationship, there is no real evidence of this from either side that this is true. We know that Gerard was engaged but this was broken off before Projekt Revolution 2007 and before he began his relationship with LynZ of Mindless Self Indulgence (this Gerard explained in Projekt Rev interview at the time).

Existing interviews with Eliza Cuts have only ever been written interviews online which is extremely unreliable and various typings on websites and blogs which cannot be confirmed if they are even really her. Neither Gerard nor Eliza have ever physically mentioned eachother's name in visual interviews. In fact the only MCR band member to have mentioned Eliza was Mikey Way and he stated that she was simply a friend.

So until either side gives any kind of indication that they were once in a relationship, any mention of Eliza Cuts won't be put on Gerard's Wikipedia. It's not really an important piece of information anyway... Copaface182 (talk) 14:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Guest

Where in the world Gerard sings Head Automatica's 'Graduation Day' ??

I can't hear his voice and he isn't on the video-clip of the song.. ? 201.51.60.36 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:24, 26 July 2011 (UTC).

He's credited as a guest vocalist. He probably contributed to the backing vocals rather than having his own verse or something. And he wasn't in the video for the song eventhough there are pictures of him being present when the video was actually filmed. The only video he's actually been in when serving as backing or guest vocalist for a song was on Kyosuke Himuro's Safe & Sound video. But he definitely is involved in some way in the vocals of Graduation Day. This has been confirmed. Copaface182 (talk) 21:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes I saw Safe and Sound and also pictures of Gerard in the making of Head Automatica's clip. I just didn't understand. Thanks for making it clear. 201.51.85.62 (talk) 02:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected}} Please change the picture of Gerard Way to a different one because I read in Kerrang! magazine about My Chemical Romance.

New picture?

So, it's 2012, and since the Big Day Out in Australia & New Zealand, Gerard dyed his hair (yes, again!!) to golden-blonde ish, so I thought maybe the picture could be updated? How about this- http://static.stuff.co.nz/1327040655/083/6291083.jpg

Also to prove this is updated and stuff on the official MCR website www.mychemicalromance.com there are a post from a few weeks ago featuring Gerard + Mikey and as you will see Gerard's hair is indeed blonde Thankyou ^_^ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.27.104 (talk) 18:11, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 10 September 2012

Please change the listed origin on Gerard Way's Wikipedia page from "Belleville, New Jersey, emo mc emoville" to "Belleville, New Jersey" because "emo mc emoville" is not a real place (at least not that I am aware of, and even if it is, he is not from there), and it is also offensive. Also it is listed that he is also known as "emo", which I would like to see change also because it too is offensive, and he has never listed that as a name he goes by. Gerard even speaks against them being labeled a "emo" in one of his interviews (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1YnGl7GnYY). Thank you. BloodofSakura (talk) 03:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Genre list

A new user just added shoegaze to the list of genres. I thought I'd bring this up here for anyone with more expertise to look into, as it seems the removal of this addition happened as a side-effect of cleaning up vandalism. Cheers, Samsara (FA • FP) 01:16, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Do you have any mention of the genre in an interview/review? His style does not fit within what most people would call Shoegaze (i.e. My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride, Deafheaven, etc.). 108.252.208.178 (talk) 01:26, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

"The sound of it is rooted in a lot in shoegaze, also Britpop — the whole thing largely feels like a British album," he said. "I was going for a lot of things that were completely new to me. Even the way we attacked the vocals and tried to make them sound was very different from ways that I had ever been recorded."

Perhaps a new picture?

Hiya, considering the photo is all the way from 2012, and Gerard has changed his appearance multiple times since then (especially his hair), I think that it's time for a new photo. How about a 'Hesitant Alien' photo? The blue suit and red tie? I'll attach a link to a photo I think is worthy enough to grace this article.

Not done: She doesn't have a page and probably will never get one so it will just redirect to the band she is in, Mindless Self Indulgence. Bowling is life (talk) 21:16, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Under the Guest Performances section, "Sailor in a Lifeboat" (by James Euringer, backing vocals, 2018) needs to be added.Mariazee (talk) 19:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[1]

Hiatus

I think there should be a change in the years active section from "2001-present", to "2001-2015 (hiatus) 2018-present", considering he did go on musical hiatus after touring for Hesitant Alien. What do you think? User:Danielcool123 -- 17:33, 29 December 2018 (GMT)

Pronouns?

Given Gerard's non-binary, do we have any source regarding their preferred pronouns? I mean, some enbies don't mind any given pronoun, but it'd be better if we found some form of official source on this.

Question: @Dave the enby: Later on in that twitter thread, he explicitly says "I really don't have a preference" [4] Both tweets are from 2015, do we maybe have a more recent one? Or a different source with more context? NiciVampireHeart 22:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Not done for now: Per my previous question, with no response in 72 hours. Please feel free to re-open this request if further sources are provided. NiciVampireHeart 19:38, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
One thing that frustrates me about this article is that when someone expresses <assigned gender pronouns>/<other> pronoun preferences, that a lot of people fail to ever use the <other> option, as this article does in its current state. If Way we haven't identified an explicit source clearly expressing a strong preference for one or the other, it seems that the neutral position is to use both, not just the birth assignment. 135.180.219.196 (talk) 15:10, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Sober

Currently under Personal Life the article states that Mr. Way enjoys the occasional drink sourced to a 2010 article. More recent articles state that Mr. Way relapsed into alcoholism in 2010 and that he is currently sober.

Lindsey Way link to the right goes to Mindless self indulgance for no reason at all? she is not even mentioned on that page. 78.82.163.205 (talk) 20:04, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

 Not done. It's not clear what you're asking. She's mentioned at the target article by her stage name. Any requests for clarification should be made there instead, or even at the redirect page if you think it's an inappropriate redirect. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:13, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Cousin listing.

According to Joe Rogan and Kevin Smith. He and Joe are cousins. Joe’s grandmother is Gerards Aunt. Ninjaofslo (talk) 21:25, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Not every fact is important or notable enough to be included in an article. Unless there is some significant relevance to Gerard Way's career or personal life his cousin doesn't merit inclusion. Should every Wikipedia article list everyone's cousins? Clearly not. Best wishes, JezGrove (talk) 22:24, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Add Joe Rogan as a cousin

Joe Rogan confirmed on his podcast that he and Gerard Way are ‘cousins’ with Rogan’s grandmother Josie being Way’s aunt.

Hello,

Can you please add britpop to the genre list? The wiki page on Hesitant Alien lists 4 sources for it, including https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/inside-gerard-ways-crusade-to-change-american-music-167894/

Pronoun consistency???

Article uses he/him pronouns for subject exclusively. Article then mentions that subject prefers they/them. Weird look, especially considering somebody in the Talk page mentions Way is okay with he/him as well but that bit doesn't make it into the article. 2600:1702:540:EA50:D8F7:F570:5D18:A74F (talk) 13:43, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
