What makes me happy is that gee still has the same voice and mannerism when he talks but seeing him with natural white hairs is like omg he is grown up already, im so used to see old interview videos
EXACTLY. I feel validated as as old school fan. They have always been "My Chem." I don't understand this "MCR" shit. Having him call them by name, and use "My Chem" is vindicating. Also, this is a total fucking COVID comment because no one who has left their house in the last 8 months would care about this at all.
@@mavik9833what are you saying? Jimmy eat world been on the scene like a decade longer than my chem. If anything my chem owes them more than vice versa.
I met Gerard. I spoke with him several times. He loves ☕ coffee. Sugar no cream. I didn't even know who he was as an artist, so I got to meet him as a person. The person he is has a wonderfully creative mind. I feel blessed to have met him in this way. Not a fangirl just a person.
That's cool if that's true. I wish I could meet him, like for real. Not at a concert, just as a person. He seems so creative and smart , he's practically a genius. I would be intimidated but still, I would like to have a conversation with him 😭
i love the glow in gee's eyes, i'm 24 and i feel like a 15yo every time i see his face, i want to hugh him and thank him for everything he has done for me
@@rangernat100 So true! I was so excited to find this video but the first 5 minutes Gerard barely said two words. I wouldn’t call it an “interview”, G should have been given more questions & time to speak. But I’m glad I saw it! ❤️
I met Gerard in 2003 at Hell Fest in NY standing near the stage waiting to watch a little known band called Murder by Death and we chatted for a bit and he told me to watch the band and that they were among the best bands in the 3 day hardcore/punk/indie festival and he was right! I was so grateful that he introduced me to those guys! Super nice dude
@@jrv4901 Jimmy Eat World tweeted this around a year ago: "Advice for new bands: When coming up with a band name, make sure it’s acronym displayed really large on your artwork or t-shirts won’t be complicating matters. You’re welcome."
Oh man, I hoped to see Gerard on the show, but wasn't sure if it'd actually happen. It's SUCH a delight to see to of your favourite bands colliding like that. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a show with both of you if/when the pandemic ends. Watching this series, I think my main takeaway is how much smart phones and voice memos have become as tools in the creative process, haha. Thanks for all your work on this!
First concert I ever went to was MCR Black Parade tour in Chicago Illinois, i was 13 years old. I'll never forget that concert or what this band meant to me. Long Live the Black Parade!
I haven’t really sat down and watched an entire interview with Gee in so long. It’s sweet to see him doing so well. I’m genuinely happy for him, he worked so hard, he’s been through sooooo much and I’ll always be proud of him. He deserves everything great and positive. There will always be a place in my heart for him ❤️
Watching this now after Doug’s death is really heartbreaking. It sounds like he and Gerard had a really beautiful creative friendship. I hope that after ending the tour and returning home, Gerard is able to step back into that studio and keep writing music, but unfortunately it’ll be hard for him.
People being rude about Gerard need to realise when My Chem was popular he was an alcoholic, drug dependent and had an eating disorder, this is him happy and healthy living his life the way he wants to, think before you say anything :(
i´m so glad that gee says the name of the band. I think he´s finally feeling better! this interview is awesome. I felt so indentified with Gerard about the creativity. I hope he´s doing well also the interviewer did a great job (sorry if there´s a grammar mistake i´m mexican haha)
14:21 I had no idea how to describe the mind of the musician but Gerard has gotten the closest to how I feel when I just go about daily life and am surrounded by constant music coming into my head no matter what I'm doing.
13:38 this is rlly good. dont chase peoples approval because both you and them are going to change over time. 38:39 is also good. just do your best work regardless of what will sell or be popular.
Gee's hair is so pretty :) I love hearing him talk about pretty much anything. He's my biggest idol, the reason I could survive my teen years a little better and a great inspiration as an adult now.
I HATE MYSELF for missing TWO MCR gigs!!!!! One due to my bitch ex wife, the other due to dried up funds- unable to get to the gig But , ive seen Jimmy Eat World MANY times
Jim can you please make this like a more serious thing, even after everything gets back to "normal". As an aspiring musician, I find these conversations you have with other amazing artist to be so insightful and motivating. I could literally be in a rut and get nothing done musically and next thing you know I listen to one of these episodes then Id feel way more motivated. You guys are my heroes and getting opportunity to listen as well as feel like ure a part of this conversation has got me through all of these hurdles during quarantine. Thank you and love you man
This conversation is GOLD! I could listen to you guys talking forever, as independent musician is so inspiring to see two legends talking about things that I can relate, this brings me hope to carry on. My heart is just so full right now, that you!
i appreciate the dive into the creative mind and how these guys view, operate, and navigate through their creative eye. and yes, i freaking love jimmy eat world and my chemical romance.
I turned 41 this year in June, and I swear I admire Gerard just as much, if not more today. I just Love his creative genius and who he is as a person. - forever a fan, even if my 13 year old calls me lame.
@ Yea, I had a friend tell me years ago what his age was and I remembered he was a few years older than me, but never felt the need to actually look that info up. The post you replied to stated “ I turned 41 this year in June “. Thanks for the knowledge drop, however, like so many others, I too admire his talent and enjoy the way his art matches up to my interests and style. I’m definitely not a fan girl and definitely do not wish to know his personal info. If I’m being honest, it’s kind of creepy to obsess over someone you don’t even know. Sincerely, when you’re able to envision yourself in another person’s situation and really think about the amount of weirdness out there it sends a shiver up your spine. And the weirdness part is only a fraction of the bullshit . Take care.
These kind of conversations (vs interviews) are amazing at getting great info out of the artists. In interviews its rare for questions to be profound, and its even rarer to get truly profound answers. This is just full of profundity.
more like 2018- gerard, and yes i agree. during three cheers for sweet revenge he was addicted to cocaine, alcohol, and multiple other things, and in danger days he was severely anorexic and underfed himself.
The Artist's Way is a book on my shelf that I bought to get myself out of artist's block when I was really struggling with other stuff going on in my life that was sapping all of my creativity, and it was SUPER HELPFUL. Also I love that Gerard's nerd shelf looks kind of like our nerd shelf that my husband and I have...=D
I idolise both of these dudes, and it's awesome to see them just chat as humans. Thanks for your art Jim and Gerard, it's been instrumental in my life and I remember fondly attending your live shows when you visited Ireland and look forward to doing so again.
i love gerard so much and i’m so happy i grew up with him. I love hearing about whatever creative process works for him, I find myself with a lot of similarities. thank you for inspiring me every day.
the thing that makes me happy for no reason is how good of a listener Gerard is. hearing them say ‘mhm’ or just a simple ‘yeah!’ shows how much he genuinely cares about these topics! :) loved this video
These episodes are making me feel so inspired. They are full of substance and truth. I can only dream of a 2 hour special on the writing process of past albums. 😁. Thanks so much for these, Jim.
I was at that first Australian tour in Melbourne and I'm not going to lie, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. You were all absolutely top notch! Thank you!
Well, time to dive back into the MCR catalog for the millionth time and be impressed yet again. The absolute pinnacle of post-punk songwriting and vision.
Title should be
Jimmy interviews himself while Gerard agrees.
Jimmy: rambling about nothing
Gerard: “mmhmm, yeah...mmhmm.”
Lol
Oh God stop ahahahhahaha
It was a little annoying.
Deadass
Where there's a Gerard, There's a way.
Lmao his motivation motto from now on or I’m rioting
Its actually "where" there is a gerard, theres a way. Lol
Why did his original comment get so many likes when he wrote the phrase wrong? Lol wtf
This comment should forever be associated with Gerard 🤣👍
In taking this
What makes me happy is that gee still has the same voice and mannerism when he talks but seeing him with natural white hairs is like omg he is grown up already, im so used to see old interview videos
Sooo fuckin adorable
Y'all r getting personal calling him "gee." You're gonna scare him away ahhh
@@wapwothefetty2569 The fandom has called him that for about 15 years, and the bandmembers also say this. So I don't see a problem in this.

I knew I wasn't the only one, his eyes are so gorgeous. Him and Mikey it's the Way gene
Swoon
So beautiful!
Yeah his eyes are beautiful
Gerard in 2004: I will never grow a beard.Nope.Never
Gerard 2020: *beard*
He's joining SAMCRO at this rate

This is a great conversation for anyone who is already in a band or wants to be in one.
