Unwound & Unplugged is a benefit concert, and mental health discussion featuring Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, Julien Baker and DeathbyRomy.
This event brings together artists standing in solidarity to promote community support around mental health issues and raise awareness for critical mental health resources during this time of need. There will be unplugged intimate music from DeathbyRomy, and a panel to “unwind” artists’ own experiences related to mental health, isolation, and the healing power of creativity and connection.
This event is presented by Sound Mind Live and National Day of Unplugging, with support from LilSpace and Sage Therapeutics. The 12th annual National Day of Unplugging starts at sundown on March 5, 2021 and ends at sundown on March 6, 2021. During that 24-hour period, thousands of people around the world will be doing fun and meaningful things away from technology.
Sound Mind Live is a non-profit organization that brings together musicians, music lovers, and forward-thinking organizations to build community and open dialogue around mental health. Our mission is to catalyze social action to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental health through the power of music. Support mental health advocacy through music at www.soundmindlive.org/donate
I didn’t realize how much fame really traumatized Gerard. It is insane how quickly MCR became famous.
It makes sense though, right? It must be such a strange experience. I can imagine having a bad reaction myself.
Its kind of like a nightmare you cant wake up from i imagine. He kind of covers that on the song Sleep
to everybody saying gerard saved their lives, you dont give yourself enough credit. you are stronger than you know.
Oh god, I was thinking about that too. It's pretty unfair and discouraging thing to see when people so easily underestimate all their efforts for living
Out of all the comments this one made me cry

“i found fame to be extremely traumatic” - gerard way
yeah, sad to hear that from him :"
Honestly, when I feel horrible, Gerards music really keeps me going. I'm so thankful for My chemical Romance.
Me too. Their music feels like a best friend who is there for you when nobody else is and you feel completly alone.
@@Polly1905 I agree, Their music is there for me, when I feel like no one else is. I will forever be grateful to that band.
I can’t express how much Gee and just MCR in general means to me, after almost 3 years of hopelessness and just kind of giving up, wanting nothing, I listened to MCR for the first time and I wanted to do something, for them. I still do. But it’s hard when they don’t know I exist, I recently got out of a mental facility, I wasn’t supposed to leave but insurance stopped paying so I had to, so I’ve basically been sitting at home just suffering through the days when I actually wake up for them, this gave me something to really wake up for, Thank you. Thank you for setting this up. Thank you to Gerard for saving my life multiple times and being one of the few reasons I’m alive. I hope I get to meet you all one day. Stay safe my fellow killjoys 🖤
That's so sweet. I was really struggling a few years ago and the MCR fandom was my emotional outlet. I still love their music, and I really like hearing other fans' stories. Stay safe friend. We're here for you.
You’re worthy and it’s so important to keep going. The killjoys keep their heads up and keep going. I’m really glad that you’re still here.
I feel the exact same way, but please remember that you’re so worthy ❤️✨
Love ya stay safe, you're worthy 💕 killjoy FOREVAH🖤
Gerard way. Probably the reason we’re all still here.........
in fact xD
Facts
Agreed.
Yup... without him Id be dead
Yes
I'm so happy to see Gerard Way sing again, i met him in New York, and I told him he and his music saved my life, and he hugged me hard and signed my ticket, saying to keep going. This was 4 year's ago and here i am still going
That’s so amazing :) I’m proud of you ! never stop going ! xx
You’re so lucky! Keep going because you’re so worth it ✨❤️
✨¡KILLJOYS MAKE SOME NOISE!✨
Since I can’t find any comments about Julien Baker, I’d just like to say how much love and appreciation I have for her. Her music has really helped me through dark times and her mind is just brilliant.
Sending so much love in these dark times❤️
While most of us are here for Gerard, we still have to show a little respect for the other guest speakers!
They did a really good job speaking too!
Gerard way.
Here for both Julien and Gerard honestly
Julian Baker is dope
I can’t describe how much I need this. Gee saved my life so many time and my mental health is not at his best rn so hopefully it will make me feel a little bit better
im sure it will help!! you've got this! dont give up :) im proud of you
@@cemetery2801 thank you very much :)
Sending you hugs fellow killjoy 🤍🤍🤍
Omg thank you , Gerard Way take care please we need you in this world .
I am so watching this. Gerard is an absolute legend
To everyone here commenting and saying that Gerard is the only reason you're still alive, because he helped you through it:
His music may have helped you through it, but you're the ones who decided to stay. You're stronger on your own than you know :)
XO

we love you Gerard, thank you for everything you do, you are a wonderful person, and i don't need to meet you to know it ❤
I'm skipping class for this and I will regret nothing!
Same!
@@bushcarrot1289 yaSssS
This is in the middle of the night in Germany and i will regret nothing!
SAME
me toooo
this is great conversation
I love how Gerard has the ancient wizard look he looks so fucking cool
He looks like he’d send me on a grand quest and i love that about them
i couldn’t explain how important gerard is to me, he (and obviously mcr too) saved my life, i was extremely grateful for that
A fellow Rolling Stones and mcr fan I see that’s amazing ❤️😌😌
What Romy said about finding people on the internet having the same interest as her, finding her place on the internet etc, but then again experiencing the dark side of it is so true. Internet/ social media is a great tool if used in the right way
Listen can we all just agree that Gerard = 👑
yes
Y e s
Yes absolutely
i woke up and its already a shitty day, hope hearing the man that kept me alive for so long can make me get trough this
I'm here taking a break from the live chat because that shit's wild
Gerard, I'm here for you, I love you, you saved me😭❤️
i literally didn't killed myself because of my chemical romance, I'll be always grateful to gerard for that
I'm so grateful that these artists are able to acknowledge their own mental health needs. As heartbroken as I was when My Chemical Romance broke up, I'm glad the guys had a chance to take care of themselves and their families. My hope is that these artists can take this conversation and remind themselves to take care of their mental health when they enter back into the world of fame/public eye.
hesitant alien has helped me through so many dysphoric breakdowns.
Drugstore Perfume is soooo good.
i literally can’t wait-
Hearing Gerard talk about mental health over the years has really helped me. I love this man because he not only makes amazing music, but has a genuinely kind soul. And has helped so many around the world.
I overshared with all my friends who all turned out to be toxic. I literally have no friends at the moment and I'm honestly so much happier. I still have a lot hat I need to process, but this panel has really helped. Music is my therapy, see you all in hell.
i’m glad you’re so much happier! but i’ll be here for you if you want it. if you would like, i’ll send my socials :)
I don't have any friends too and I think that would be even much damaging to me if I actually tried to communicate with anybody around me, it happened that almost all people surrounding me are toxic. I know I made the right decision, but that doesn't change the fact that i feel awfully isolated
I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I’m so happy you feel happier! But if you like I can share my social media so you don’t feel so lonely ✨
I just came out as trans and my parents weren't so accepting and mcr and gee have saved me when i was near the edge. hang in there guys
I’m so sorry to hear that :( I hope you’re doing okay
@@skibidirizzgyatshaker Thank you
I’ll accept you :) it’s hard living when people don’t let you live at all 💜
My daughter is now out as trans. While I am supportive, others in the family are not. I showed her some things Gerard has said and how supportive he was of trans people. Now I've been a big fan and my daughter was aware of MCR and some of the music but she has dived in much more and it is helping her cope! She loves the pic of Gerard in drag. Made a beautiful woman, am I right? Anyway, older music now saving a new generation!!
@@cheapskatepanic I agree. Older music is amazing and has saved so many people. And I'm so happy your daughter has you. Unsupportive family members can really take a toll on someone so it's amazing that she has you. And yes, that picture is awesome! Another great roll model I look up to is Gottmik. I'm not sure how old your daughter is but Gottmik is a transgender Drag Queen. Gottmik is ftm and really helps with teaching that gender norms are stupid and that it doesnt matter how feminine or masculine you are.
who here is staying up until 1am to see this?? im so exited!!!
It’s so late cause it Britain isn’t it
@@kaigreaves8081 yup. I'm not allowed to go on my phone past 9 but as long as no one finds out, I should be fine
im from italy, 2am
@@_.ravenge._ crazy how so many people from all around the world are getting together to hear this
I thought it was 1 and realized it was 2AM and i woke up at three :(
Gerard and my chem has helped me in more ways than I can even imagine, I'm so thankful for them
YES I CANT WAIT luv u gee
AHUHAUA YOUR PFP
@@gerardwayisinthemiddleofag6644 thank you, thank you
if gerard ever scrolls through the comments , hi :) we love you so very much!! you've helped all of us in so many different ways. from finding ourselves to battling through different mental disorders. thank you and your band for making music that helps us. i can never thank you enough. stay safe!
I miss him so much i can't 😭✋🏻
i really need this, especially when i am So Close to escaping a toxic household and all i need is a little push before im free and can improve my mental health
Stay safe, gee loves you
Same here, one more year and I can move out
BE RESPECTFUL IN THE CHAT
These experiences are so important for impulsing a wider discussion about mental health in work environments. As a long term fan and a former psych major, I can not thank Gerard enough for his openness, sharing his experience through these "artist isolation" traumas that comes with sudden exponential success. There's a documentary "Meeting people is easy" from Radiohead that displays this issue in a very personal manner
gerard saved my life, and his little dad face thats just adorable.
ur name oh my god what is ur name
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL OVER PREEPSTERS YT!!!!! I can’t believe I found you here 😂😂😂 anyways hiii I missed uu
He looks like a dandelion, I'm living for it
@@greenlee5030 hallo my friend:)
I just want to hug him🤧
The amount of lives Gerard has saved is unreal
❤️
Even though I came for Gerard I found what both Julien and Romy said really interesting and helping with my own mental health! Thanks for the perfectly chosen round, Im definetly gonna check both of them out :)
Can't wait to see Gerard again.
All these points are spot on. Every day I feel less and less like I actually exist. Spending a genuinely gross amount of time watching videos and images to make me feel more alive as my actual life passes by. My generation, Gen Z, has gotten screwed over really hard; both by the generations that came before us and the current world events. I want to get off the internet more, I do. But how do you just abandon and ignore a whole “dimension” and lose the one place where you semi-exist? I’m isolating myself increasingly from the real world, but the internet’s anonymousity and escapism gives me a place to go and smile. It’s a rough decision.
I want to say thank you to the artists on this podcast for speaking up about this topic and looking at all angles and perspectives. They turned this topic into a way of spreading connection and positivity. Personally, I really want to thank Gerard. He’s a massive inspiration and someone who led me to be a lot of the person I am today.
To those reading this: I hope you all are doing okay out there, my friends. If you aren’t, I hope you will be soon. :)
i could listen to gee talking about mental health with other people everyday
As a fellow, future counselor, I can not tell you much I would love to sit down and talk to Gerard and discuss mental health. He is such an interesting person and such an inspiration to so many.
Gerard has saved my life when I was in really bad mental spots. Him and the music MCR made just made my entire life so much better
Gerard is our lil delicate flower🥺
I hate that he felt this way during touring and that he used the word traumatized :( I hope he didn’t regret MCR because he saved many of us 🖤
i don't think he regretted it, i mean I hope not. if not maybe we wouldn't have had the upcoming concert now
I’d say it’s reasonable to think he regrets some parts of it & not others. I mean I also don’t think he expected mcr to get so popular when he first started out, so on hindsight it makes sense that the fame aspect was traumatizing. I don’t want to over speculate on anyone’s inner emotions but I get the sense he’s for the most part proud of the art he made if you take away the fame stuff, like mcr wouldn’t have come back if he (& the other guys) didn’t like some part of it. ofc I could be wrong bc I’m not Gerard but that’s how I like to think of it
ive been waiting for this for years!!!
so fucking excited!!!!!!
🖤
I’m so glad I watched this. My mental health has declined greatly ever since this pandemic started, and part of it was because of seeing things on social media. I felt pretty lost, especially because I couldn’t see the people I care about and do certain thing I liked to do. All of you really made me think that art is important, but of course our mental health comes first. I basically couldn’t live if certain music didn’t exist and that’s what makes it so powerful. I’m rambling now, but this was a nice experience
Твиттерские вперёд 👊
Yes, I will be watching this at 1am
MCR has always and continuously created an environment for the weirdos of the world to be celebrated. I think many of us have stories where we felt alone and we put on a MCR record and just the sounds alone soothed us in our darkest moments. Thank you Gerard for always being so open and honest with your struggles with mental health. The kind of conversation that encourages others to seek light. It's beautiful. MCR saved my life.
I’M SO EXCITED TO SEE GERARD
hey g. it was my 13th birthday on the 28th. thanks for helping me make it.
I think that's why he was very low key needed time to be just himself for his mental health. I never realised he was traumatized by fame. Glad he's in a good place now. Thank you all of you for doing this mental health panel for us. It was very helpful.
Awwww, i m soo happy to see Gee again
Спасибо прекрасному Джерарду Уэю из-за которого я не буду спать сегодня
Я проснулась в пять к трансляции,а потом поняла что у меня она начинается в восемь.....
GEE HAS LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE🥺🥺🥺WE LOVE U GERARD🥰
i have to wake up at 2 am for this but it's worth it, even though i have school tomorrow and i don't have online school.
Same
Same 😂
Same😂💀
same ughhh
Oh ha I just realized It will be 1am and not 2 in the UK wowww I'm smart
Can’t wait for this! I never got to see anything Gerard has done live so this is great for me, also I really need to hear more about mental health because I’ve been struggling more than usual and this will help :)
"We were about to leave for tour"-damn these words hit me like a knife! I really hope I can see mcr as soon as possible. U saved my life. Thank you, Gee
Gerard and mcr's music definitly saved my life and its still trying and im still trying, many times things are hard but music makes me feel safe, protected, even good.
Девушки: говорят про Джерарда. Джерард: молчание...yeah....
Music literally saved my life. My Chemical Romance really saved the broken. Killjoys, make some noise🖤

I always feel alone and with few friends when I met mychem and especially Gerrad I identified a lot and how we can use art as a therapy, now he studied psychology and I use my novel commenting on my internal demons thank you Gerrard for teaching me a lot
agh i’m so excited for this! i really need to hear some things about mental health right now.
Im 13 years old I have a little strugles in my mental health when I was 10 years old, it was something terrible and only my close friends know it (not even my family). I knew mcr last year I couldn't be so thankfull to have them with me gerard take care, I love you, romy I love you too such a great artist
This was so comforting and I felt very comforted, they talked about things that I thought I was the only one feeling and it made me feel a lot better that people understand how I feel. I feel like most celebs are looked at more than a normal person which is not the best. Hearing all these artist talk about there mental health struggles can help put you back down into reality and push all the fame and crap away, so you can see that this “rockstar” is just like you and I find that, people can learn to respect them better. Sorry this was so long😅 Thank you guys❤️
So excited!!! 🥰
last year was so tough for me. i quit drawing and writing because of my depression and anxiety, but then i met the band. mcr's music helped me A LOT. if was not for them, i wouldn't be able to come back to art. thank you gerard, i love you 💖 (sorry about the bad english, I'm not a native)
same for me :]
Трансляция это какие-то смешанные чувства типо ура джи и блин очень спать хочется ещё и школа в 7 утра
ПОНИМАЮ 😩🤝
ПОНИМАЮ
кемы-хуемы
When my brother was in the hospital, I felt quite sad and discouraged about many things. One afternoon I listened to the song "Brother" by Gerard Way and I began to remember several happy moments with my brother, I called him constantly to find out about him and how he was doing. Today he is much better than he was before. But thank you Gerard for such a piece of art that it comforted me.
Gerard saved my life all the days. 💕
Why Gerard? Is he alone in the group or what? Your life was saved by My Chemical Romance. F*ck this worship of Gerard🙄
@@dumbb_bear I remind you that the one who appears here from the group is Gerard and that he is not only in My Chemical Romance but he also had a career as a singing soloist and that he also has a solo career as a creator of comics, he made many things alone and if not you value as much as I do it's not my problem if you don't know the means by which he saved my life, don't speak.
This is a cuestion of mental health issue so stop being so toxic if you don't know the people, who was here and the only person I know of these people is Gerard so all my support is for him, I'm a fan of My Chemical Romance but I am also a fan of each of the boys and their projects separately, I am a fan of each one individually, for people like you it is that some of the solo projects of Mikey, Ray, Frank and Gerard not have the support they deserve because they only think and keep asking for My Chemical Romance even if they are in a comic book firm. You shouldn't downplay his solo projects if you're a fan, just dedicate yourself to supporting and making good comments instead of criticizing, if you see something you don't like, just ignore it because you don't know the people, stop being so toxic. 🤨🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
wow I'm definitely gonna start listening to DeathbyRomy!! Her voice is amazing!!!
I don't know if Gerard is reading this, but he literally saved my life. Thanks for anything.
I love how Romy smile when Gerard say thier name. 🥰🥰🥰
I bought MCRs first album at around 13, today I am 25 just got back from seeing them in concert, I never thought I would live to see the day. It was so cathartic and it just felt so good to be alive even just for those 2 hours. The fans are so incredible and alot of us have survived so much and I am so proud of everyone who is still here. Watching gerard grow up and get better, nice to see him happy.
i’m so excited. gerard gave me the courage and words i needed to hear to get help and work on myself, i’m so thrilled he’s a part of this
back to report after. this was so lovely. romy and julien are so insightful and had so many wonderful things to say and of course gerard had some really lovely insight. i appreciated this so much, i felt so heard and felt and understood
Can't wait! Thank you for this event 💛
Gerard I have been your follower for 11 years or more and your music really saved my life, it gave me a powerful reason to overcome my depressions and I really admire you too much! ❤️
Thank you gee for inspiring me to want to be a better person ilysm
wakin up at 4 am for this, but its so worth it!!!

Yes, I made it in time!! Gerard Way literally saved my life, I wear an MCR pendant around my neck at all times, so good to see him again.
I really set an alarm for this!
I love you Mr. Way!🖤
i cannot wait!! as cliche as it is, he really did save my life. he continues to inspire me everyday ❤
I'm so excited!! I'm here bc Gee, but I also need to hear a talk about mental health 🖤💖
I’m so excited!!! I love Gerard, I can’t wait!!
gerard you saved my life,
many times.. thank you, always and forever
I really hope they upload the stream after
gerard saved my life 😭💖
Hi gee, I know you probably will never read this comment but I want you to know that you make a big difference in a lot of us, you make a big difference in my life, your music, your words, helped me go through a lot of traumatic experiences and you inspire me to keep on going, thank you so much, and I love you.
i don’t have any words to describe how much i love gerard and how important his words are. he saved my life, and that's so wonderful, that he talks about all these important things and about mental health. i couldn’t watch the stream because of the different time zones with russia, but im so happy, that gerard talked about such important things for all of us
We love you Gerard, thank you for being there 🖤🌾
Edit: This was absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for doing this 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Ugh I LOVE GERARD SO MUCH I most likely wouldn't be alive today without them
Is this live going to be saved on the channel?
I am an aspiring musician and depressed (and I love Gerard so much!!). This was so inspiring and made me feel so understood by someone I appreciate so much. Thank you so much. And I love you, Gee!
