Notice to all MCR editors

It is great to see so many of you interested in improving MCR related wikipedia articles. However, there a few things you must remember. Because this page in paticular is a biography, please do not add any claims or rumours that are not well sourced. Please use the discussion page first, that is what it is here for. Second, do not add any personal opinions relating to any of the members, as this is an encyclopaedia. Thank you for contributing. --Sadistic monkey 23:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Picture change

yeah i agree, we need a new picture. With the one up now you cant even see his face hardly. - Lemonxsmoothie

Preferably one that includes his new image for The Black Parade. -EowynMorgan

Mcr's Genre

whoever changed the "emo band mcr" to "rock band mcr" and then saying "Mcr isnt emo" is wrong. MCR is an emo band, their actuall genre is "emo/punk-pop/post hardcore. You dont have to include the genre of the band on Gerards page but they are in fact an "emo" band.

I can't cite this which is bad (I'm sure it's in an interview somewhere) but I'm positive that the band themselves do not want to be called emo. In my opinion they are genre-less, since it changes from album to album.

I think it is best to leave it as "Alternate rock, disputed sub genres". That way we can avoid any arguments.--Sadistic monkey 09:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Helena

I saw on Gerard's page it said his grandma's name was Heena Lee Rush, but it is actually Elena Lee Rush I think....IDK if this page is protected or not, so can someone change it? I'm new here! ; ) thx! Mcrfanatic01 15:36, 17 June 2006 (UTC)mcrfanatic01

Belleville, NJ

On the page it says Belleville is a crime-ridden town. I've lived here all my life, it's far from crime-ridden.

You're right. Belleville is a small, normal, suburban town in northern NJ. Gerard and Mike's house isn't "a dark and dingy gothic-looking place." It's just a normal-looking house. Gerard and Mike have exaggerated about their background, much like Vanilla Ice did in 1990.

it may not be crime ridden now, but it might have been 20 years ago when he was growing up. and about his house, it's probably been renivated. let's not forget, It's been 20 years. 72.43.140.77 20:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Siting Sources

Does anyone have a source for the statement Gerard and Mikey made about Bert's comments to MTV being a joke? -EowynMorgan

I agree, I would like to see a source cited for that as well. It's pretty obvious that they did have a falling out, otherwise we MCR fans would be seeing more of Bert around because they used to be inseparable.--Jude 06:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Trivia About Gerard's Hair

That trivia should defently be removed.. it doesn't go out to his music nor himself...it's about HIS HAIR, and it's completely pointless. And also, i doubt he ever said that.

Frankly, it should be removed altogether. Just having a trivia section about one's hair is hardly loaded with trivia. I think it should either go, or get some add-ons. CD Amadeus 09:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

The "ruckus in the fanbase thing" needs to go, it's a tad ridiculous and completely pointless. --Remz 12:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Has Gerard died his back back to black now cos i just saw a picture of his with his black hair in his black parade outfit.

okay his hair is black again, it could be permanent or temporary, but here's proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R647Ya2gixo

Youtube cannot be used as a reliable source.--Sadistic monkey 05:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

This has little to do with the topic I'm posting it on, but I'm not sure how to make a new question: If anybody knows how tall Gerard Way is, that might be a statistic to include.206.78.37.98 20:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC) MC W.

why do we have an old picture of gerard on the page? that video was live during new years day, that was about 17 days ago, he might of dyed/bleached it back..but i believe thats reliable because there are a few videos that have gerard and his new dyed hair, he even had it while he sung famous last words and dead! also on that day Blkeddie! 03:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

King of Rock

Recently on MTV2's All That Rocks, Gerard Way was voted the "Almighty King of Rock" with 63% of the vote. Should this be put on Gerard Way's page??

Ok, I put it on there, but if it needs to be moved around then it should. But that's an important think to add I think. Orfen 05:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that. --Remz 12:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

As long as you have added a source, that's fine.--Sadistic monkey 23:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, its about him,and its pretty important. well,not so important that it should stay on there forever, but yes,i think its a good idea. THExBREAKFASTxMONKEY 21:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison

Isn't that song ^^ about him being prison rape.--Kingforaday1620 23:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

it's the product of a free-styling session. No one in the band has ever been prison raped... --Jude 01:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

It's a joke referring to what they do to guys like them in prison. He doesn't look a thing like Jesus 01:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

"Olivia"

I recently put a piece in teh trivia section about a supposed relationship with a girl named Olivia and it was deleted. I usually don't like to rock-the-boat but that was a serious rumour for a while and I left it a month before I added it just to be sure. Now my paragraph also defunked the rumour and cited an interview refrence about how she is a hair stylist and they are "just friends". So why was it deleted? You've got a paragraph there about a supposed relationship with Bert McCraken, so why not this one?

It is a rumour, not a fact...The bit about Bert McCraken is a fact. I think that is why it is removed. Olivia is not a person...She is Gerard's dog. The girl in the rumour is Eliza "Cuts". She is Mikey's hair stylist and a friend of Alicia Simmons. Mikey has offically declared on his myspace account that Eliza has never dated anyone in the band. Please visit worldsmosthated.com to learn more about Eliza and Alicia. Unlike Mikey, Gerard never talked about his personal love life in interviews. -- Chatake 20:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Adriana Mercury

There is an article titled Adriana Mercury containing many false claims about a person who is purported to be Gerard Way's girlfriend. If the article is still there when you read this, I would appreciate it if anyone familiar with Way would comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adriana Mercury so we can get rid of the false article. (Among other things, Adriana Mercury is claimed to be the identical twin of Billie Joe Armstrong.) --Metropolitan90 23:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Change the photo already!!

Gerard has recently dyed his hair back to black again (as of his appearance on MTV, which can be viewed on YouTube with MCr performing "Dead!" and "Famous Last Words" from The Black Parade. The picture needs to be changed!!File:Http://file028b.bebo.com/0/mediuml/2007/01/04/17/2271190142a3075239309b923383635ml.jpg can someone do this for me i cant do it. and WE NEED A LONGER trivia section, i mean how can you get information, if theres hardly any. The Spanish version of this article is better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MuitoLocaNina (talk • contribs).

Cleanup

This article needs a pretty big cleanup- I've already removed unnecessary sections (see page history) and added citationneeded tags at various points. The article also needs to read more like an encyclopedia, and most of the article needs to be sourced, as I said before. Some of the sections are also about My Chemical Romance and not Gerard- Discography and Lyrics, and Musical Influences and Tastes, however some of the material in these are relevant to him, it's just a matter of filtering the My Chemical Romance material and putting it in that article. I'll be working on this over the next few weeks, but please help! Other than that, it's looking good, and it's got a pretty thorough biography. It's now just a matter of the wording.

Also, I think we need another blond picture of him at the top. The current one is small and he may have dyed his hair black for the New Years performance but that doesn't mean that is for the rest of the tour. Also the caption doesn't match the picture, an easy fix but I still think it should be a blond picture of him for right now.  Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 20:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed- I don't think there's any recent pics of him with black hair anyway. I'm pretty sure it's black at the moment, but I could be wrong- we'll find out for certain at Big Day Out, at least, unless people can find pictures of him sooner? The most recent ones I can see are with short black hair. CattleGirl ^{talk | sign!} 08:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe that it is black right now during Big Day Out. I believe so. But this isn't really part of their The Black Parade tour yet, so unless someone has something recent I'd try to go with a blond one.  Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 08:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

picture (g, with black hair)

Some one change the picture because i dont know how to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MuitoLocaNina (talk • contribs) 01:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

The picture is pretty out of date, it's not recent at all. And by the way, whether it's a picture of him blonde or not, it doesn't really matter, it's him. True, he has dyed it back, but the fact is it's still him. A more recent photo, however, should be preferable. CattleGirl ^{talk | sign!} 08:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Sources

I've seen this major problem with pretty much every article related to My Chemical Romance -- people aren't sourcing! People are adding rumors and hearsay to the pages. Not just that, people are adding things that ARE the truth but aren't putting sources. We need to work on cleaning this up, in my opinion.

72.200.21.91 09:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm of the opinion that this entire article needs to be rewritten from the ground up. Apart from including details that are more suited for the My Chemical Romance article, it's badly formatted, badly laid out, and doesn't cite enough sources. illspirit|talk 10:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

stuff to add to trivia

• dream car red corvett w/t licence plate KNIVES
