[Zookimer]

...You got some kinda charisma, man! I loved watching you play~! If you dont already have a band, GET ONE.

[GerardWayJr]

@Zookimer ^_^ Thanks much! I'd been looking around in the area for awhile, though I honestly prefer singing. Different sort of charisma, obviously, but I have a lot of fun with both instruments. Glad you enjoyed! :D

[GerardWayJr]

@bambamsamsh Pardon?

[xwebkinzx100]

lmao i love your randomness XDD

[Sammyboy3273]

Haha, dude ur jokes, lovin the solo.

[yhuu123456]

haha Lovee it!!

your wall is pretty awesomee tooxD

btw your really cute(or maybe it's just the guitar =P )

[GerardWayJr]

@yhuu123456 Aw, shucks, you're making us blush. The guitar's pretty red in the face as it is! O_O

[yhuu123456]

@GerardWayJr Blushing! :)nawhh really.

I feel so special. . .

i seriously thought your guitar would be used to getting hit on. XD

[GerardWayJr]

@yhuu123456 Used to it, sure. Thinks it's any less flattering? Nah, I don't suppose so! XD

[TheMusicToMySoul]

Are you a fairly new listener to mcr?

[GerardWayJr]

@TheMusicToMySoul :S I've been around since "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)." XD

[xmusicfanx11]

LOL, this is very very good :)

the beginning is too funny, i loved watching this ;]

you're really good

[GerardWayJr]

@xmusicfanx11 :) Thanks very much!

[imahughlover]

your cute !

you rock !

=D

[GerardWayJr]

@imahughlover Danke. ^_^

[paramore364]

i liked it besides when you embarresed yourself in the beggining lol jk

[GerardWayJr]

@paramore364 I'm never too embarrassed to have fun. ^_^

[paramore364]

@GerardWayJr thats a good thing :)

[notyouraveragecow]

Haha the over excentricnesshere made it, people always look like they have sticks up there ass when they are covering something; its nice to see someone actually get into the song, and it sounded really good too!

[GerardWayJr]

@notyouraveragecow :D Danke.

In all honesty, @deadlyPopsicles has her opinion and I do respect that. ^_^ I just thought it was silly of her to call me eccentric when...well, look at Frank Iero, for one. XD There again, she has her opinion, and it's not my job to take that away.

[Lolacrazy4ev3r]

your pretty damn good ! just superr hyper...

[GerardWayJr]

@Lolacrazy4ev3r Thanks! ^_^

[deadlyPopsicles]

You are a stupid butt face hater. Yes, that is spelled right and grammatically correct for you. God do I hate people who think others are stupid for using internet-lingo. Its YouTube people! Ok I'm done, bye stupid butt face.

[deadlyPopsicles]

@deadlyPopsicles P.S.

I hate your energy =P

[GerardWayJr]

@deadlyPopsicles Quite the contrary to what you say, your grammar is actually incredibly flawed.

[deadlyPopsicles]

@GerardWayJr No, it isn't. Stupid butt face.

[GerardWayJr]

@deadlyPopsicles "Stupid butt face" is not a complete sentence. ;D

[deadlyPopsicles]

@GerardWayJr Fine you stupid butt face. :)

[GerardWayJr]

@deadlyPopsicles Seriously, you look, like, fourteen-fifteen-ish. Why are you still calling people butt face? O_o I'm honestly confused.

[benhallock]

everyone hates your enegry because its seems out of place like your not that kind of person, and your not being serious enough to have the "MCR-energy".

[GerardWayJr]

@benhallock Uh, no one hates my energy and this was supposed to be a sound test, idiot. Read the description.

And I don't need the MCR-Energy; I'm not MCR.

[benhallock]

@GerardWayJr you know what i mean, some people were complaining, don't make excuses.

[GerardWayJr]

@benhallock Fact =/= excuse.

And people were complimenting the energy I had, so, no, I really don't see what you mean.

[juliegizi]

everyone knows that you suck, but the cover its awesome because of the poster of The Dark Knight in your wall. It's the truth. Sorry.

[GerardWayJr]

@juliegizi It was a soundtest. Read the description before you make idiotic comments.

[deadlyPopsicles]

hisogoodjobcovering:)cept ur a tinsy bit over excentric

[GerardWayJr]

@deadlyPopsicles I don't take advice from people who can't spell. Thanks, though.

[GerardWayJr]

@deadlyPopsicles Also, in regards to your original comment...and, I mean, this WAS supposed to be a sound test, so it honestly doesn't count. You can go post negative feedback for the full cover; that's fine, because that was a legitimate cover. I will thank you for you feedback and move on. But I've looked at some of your videos, and saying I'm "over eccentric..." Well, let's just say that guys can have just as much fun. Is Gerard not eccentric? Freddie Mercury? Pete Townshend?

[ZombieKillUrMom]

People saying that he sucks are wrong, hes not that bad, but the faces and spasms are freaking retarded.

[GerardWayJr]

@ZombieKillUrMom ...thanks, person who obviously has no theatrical experience and, therefore, doesn't exactly know how to please an audience. XD

Seriously, maybe TWO people haven't liked my energy.

[mnkrock]

actually, i have my own cover

[GerardWayJr]

@mnkrock In that case, I'm gonna go look at it. ^_^ Thanks for your feedback!

[mnkrock]

you suck

[GerardWayJr]

@mnkrock Maybe you should read the description - the part about this having been a sound test before the camera broke?

And if you think I suck, then - here's an idea - DO YOUR OWN COVER! :D I totally encourage that. I would be thrilled to see you kicking my ass. ^_^

[GerardWayJr]

@frondozo45mizutani You're mom's the trrick. :D

[dontfuckwitharicko]

Me encantas! You're so pure and raw:3

[GerardWayJr]

@dontfuckwitharicko I do try. :P Thanks!

[AmberMCR4eVa]

Love it!! And I love your enthusiasm !!

[GerardWayJr]

@AmberMCR4eVa Thanks. :D I'm always enthusiastic about MCR! ^_^

[ralphis411]

Dude don't act out, I know you're good but it's not cool.

[GerardWayJr]

@ralphis411 Don't act out? You mean don't have fun?

Frankly, I don't give a damn what you think is and isn't cool. ^_^ I enjoyed myself, and everyone else but the hyper emasculate guys seem to as well. Since you're in the minority, I'll ignore your little comments. :D

[harryp7111]

Dude is that Suzan boyle on ur wall... Not cool man

[GerardWayJr]

@harryp7111 Susan Boyle isn't on my wall. XD Look in the description for the list of album covers.

[harryp7111]

@GerardWayJr lol ok just looks sorta like her at first glance

[GerardWayJr]

@harryp7111 I think you may be seeing the U2 "War" album. XD

[Erkary]

Me encanto mucho lo que haces... Suena bastante bien.

[GerardWayJr]

@Erkary If I had ANY clue what you were saying, I'm sure it would be awesome.

[DANASMELLS100]

well tbh i think your brilliantt :D xx

[GerardWayJr]

@DANASMELLS100 Well, thank you! :D

[cch312]

you look like matt in0:34!!

[GerardWayJr]

@cch312 The drummer or another Matt? XD

[dindonrosales]

its not complete, but great job, listen my cover, i upload it last night, you should clean your bedroom, i like muse too , i want a poster like yours.

[GerardWayJr]

@dindonrosales XD Yeah, I actually cleaned it after that; this wasn't supposed to be the actual cover. XD It was originally a soundtest, but I had to use it, because the camera broke. -.-

[xxalipwnsxx]

The facial expressions you did at the intro just made me want to be your new bestfrann. :D

Awesome cover though.(:

[GerardWayJr]

@xxalipwnsxx Hah, thank! ^_^

[MrSuperlillen]

cool guitar

i like it

[GerardWayJr]

@MrSuperlillen It's just an Epiphone... XD

[BobBryar01]

OMG!!

[GerardWayJr]

@BobBryar01 :O BOB BRYAR.

xD

[manu4lifewwe]

[GerardWayJr]

@manu4lifewwe ...thanks. >.>

[iamstupiderthanyou]

"whenever i sing the part in the intro i have the same facial expressions and movements. :D"

my late responce: no i had the same moves before watching this lol

MCR FOREVER (ive been saying this for 6 1/2 years!)

[endofthespectrum]

[GerardWayJr]

@endofthespectrum Hah; thanks, man. ^_^

[Haru22597]

[proricand]

You're a funny dude...!

But you KILLED IT!

THIS SONG IS THE FUCKIN SHIT!!!!

[GerardWayJr]

@proricand This was supposed to be a sound test, actually. XD I only had to put it on because the camera broke before I could do another cut. -.-

[a7xlover19951]

OMG LOVE IT........you can be my Dr. Deathdefying any day :D

[GerardWayJr]

@a7xlover19951 Laaaaawl. XD With a name referring to A7K, I don't know that I'd be inclined to say no. XD Grazi. :P

[TheAfrorasta]

How you learnt that song, without any tabs, and perfected it on the same day the video was released I have no idea... You are my hero.

[GerardWayJr]

@TheAfrorasta Aw, thanks. I've been playing almost three years, so you kind of develop the hearing and all. It's just, ah...ya know. XD I mean, it honestly wasn't that hard! Thanks so much though. ^_^

[NxPlosion23]

Hell yush! That was amazing dude :D! -hyped up for MCR's new album-

[GerardWayJr]

@NxPlosion23 Grazi!

[GerardWayJr]

@NxPlosion23 Me too! :D

[DeathThenZombie]

[GerardWayJr]

@DeathThenZombie Thanks ^_^

[jdspiritwolf331]

very good job :) but where did u find the tabs? or what tabs did u come up for it i would love to learn the song but alas i cant find any tabs

[GerardWayJr]

@jdspiritwolf331 I learned it by ear, actually.

[NoBigDealBro]

pretty good bro

[GerardWayJr]

@NoBigDealBro Thanks dude. ^_^ It was supposed to be just a sound test, but the camera broke before I could tape another cut. >.<

[MsLalalaimsinging]

Haha that was pretty good (:

[GerardWayJr]

@MsLalalaimsinging XD Thanks! It was supposed to be a sound test before the camera broke. >.<

[yokoh691]

haha awesome man

[GerardWayJr]

@yokoh691 Thanks much!

[Animesungirl]

this is going to be HUGE!!!!anyway nice cover,keep it up:D

[GerardWayJr]

@Animesungirl Thanks much! I've been wanting to tape a do-over, since this was only supposed to be a sound test. XDD

I agree; this is going to blow my mind even more than "Parade." :D

[iamstupiderthanyou]

whenever i sing the part in the intro i have the same facial expressions and movements. :D

youre amazing OBSESSED REAL MCR FANS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH GERARD, FRANK, MIKEY, AND RAYYY!

[GerardWayJr]

@iamstupiderthanyou xD Inherently or did the punching the air and whatnot come *after* you saw this?

I'm so ready for that record. XD

[drunkalfuzzyness]

hey dude that was fricking awsum! sweet man!

[GerardWayJr]

@drunkalfuzzyness Thanks!

[deadwalkingcg]

i love how all mcr fans know about this song already. we've been waiting to long and they are amazing and absolutly delivered!

[GerardWayJr]

@deadwalkingcg Oh, yus, I've got a radio rip on my iPod. XD I could wait until Tuesday to get the full thing.

[amberfooz]

Ha you're awesome

[GerardWayJr]

@amberfooz You too! xD Thanks!

[AwwwCatarina]

you look cool!! I like you.

[GerardWayJr]

@AwwwCatarina xD Thanks. ^_^

[Alanelis]

Ive made a vocal and guitar cover of this song :)

[notpenguin]

Just so you're aware of it, on your The Dark Knight poster, Batman is staring straight at a pole.

[GerardWayJr]

@notpenguin XD A pole?

[PEACEout0813]

Awesome. What are the frets you use? I use 7,11,9,7,9, on e but that's by my ear, what do you play?

[mychemicalpumpkins21]

yay! that was good!

and i see Michael Jackson Dangerous!!! :D

[GerardWayJr]

@mychemicalpumpkins21 :D Thanks! Yus, I've got a full list of albums on my wall in the description.

[nikk0c]

ehh solos off but at least ya tried

[GerardWayJr]

@nikk0c Well, this wasn't supposed to be the one I put up; it was a test shoot. The camera died before I could do a better one.

[PEACEout0813]

Great job. I have a question. I have all of this down(just the demo version, not the full song yet) and I have no idea how to make the last 5 notes of the solo sound like ray plays it. Tip?

[nikk0c]

@PEACEout0813 try going down the G string bending notes at the frets: 12, 15, 16, tremelo pick 16 while pulling off 17, and then go back to bending the 15. Check it out in my cover, i learned it by ear too so im not sure if its correct but it soudns about right =]

[GerardWayJr]

@PEACEout0813 Yeah, it's the same effect used at the beginning of "Dead!". You essentially hold down the note on one string while bending the next string up two frets down until the notes match. It's a GREAT effect.

[robertgarza13]

thats good. i play piano and i already figured it out to but i learned the whole song. but i may have a little difference when it came down to the chours so let me know what chords you played please so i can compare and contrast.

[GerardWayJr]

@robertgarza13 I believe it was just a basic power chord progression; obviously, power chords don't apply to piano, though basic chords can be applied for the same effect. The only problem is that power chords are Note - middle note - octave up from the first note, so they're obnoxious to play. Minor or major chords can be used to substitute. The progression in the chorus is B, G, F#, Ab, E.

[ReekofVomit]

I was about to hit dislike, then you just ripped that solo. Good job. Now stop making that face.

[GerardWayJr]

@ReekofVomit Uh, no?

[GerardWayJr]

@ReekofVomit Also, that's not really a solo. XD I mean, it's a solo, but not really a difficult one at all. Thanks anyway I...guess.

And, hey, I was having fun. Sure, being over the top with my face, but this wasn't originally intended to be the final cut. The camera broke before I could do another. XD

[olvido96]

eres un payaso, pero tocas genial! xDD

[olvido96]

eres un payaso xDDD

[15minutedisco]

That really sucked

[GerardWayJr]

@15minutedisco Do better. :D

[15minutedisco]

[GerardWayJr]

@15minutedisco How terribly creative.

[15minutedisco]

@GerardWayJr More creative then your guitar cover.

[GerardWayJr]

@15minutedisco Key word: "cover." :D More creative than your comebacks.

[15minutedisco]

@GerardWayJr lol im really not trying to bag on you dude lol ur good. Im a guitar player myself. and i did all the studio bass for the band relient k's new cd.

[GerardWayJr]

@15minutedisco Yeah, I know Relient K. I also know that John Warne did all the studio bass, so thanks but no thanks, eh?

[15minutedisco]

@GerardWayJr So you where there at the studio? For all the recordings? I didn't see you.

[GerardWayJr]

@15minutedisco Yeah, and I didn't see you in the album credits. ^_^

[ADayToRemember669]

[GerardWayJr]

@blackmariah100 No problem! The song leaked yesterday and it's actually pretty tight. Not difficult at all where the main riff and the solo I played are concerned; have fun! :D

[kelcboyd]

[GerardWayJr]
