Gerard Arthur Way, or simply known as Gerard Way, was born in 1977, in New Jersey. From a very young age, Gerard was interested in music and the artists that influenced him the most are Iron Maiden, Queen, The Smiths, The Misfits and others. When Way was only 8 years old, he got his first guitar. Despite the fact that Gerard was very interested in music, at first he decided to focus more on an art career. Later Gerard decided to become musician and in 2001 the band known as My Chemical Romance was created. The members of the group were Ray Toro, Mikey Way, Frank Iero and James Dewees.

All these albums were successful and added to Gerard’s net worth.
In addition to this, Gerard has also worked with other artists. For example he has worked with a Kyosuke Himuro, a Japanese singer. What is more, Gerard was the executive producer of Lost Alone’s album, entitled I’m a UFO in This City. This also made Way’s net worth grow.
As mentioned before, Gerard is not only a well known musician but he is also a comic book writer. He was 16 years old when he tried writing comic for the first time. The comic books that were written by Gerard became famous and acclaimed by others. So it could be said that Gerard is a really talented personality. In 2001 Gerard together with Joe Boyle created the cartoon entiled The Breakfast Monkey. He also was a part of The Anti-Bats!. These activities also made Gerard Way’s net worth higher.
All in all, it could be said that Gerard is a very talented musician and comic book writer. He has many fans all over the world because of the unique style of music that he creates and of course because of charisma on stage. It is a pity that My Chemical Romance has split up, but Way’s fans will be able to enjoy his music in the future as he is planning to start his career as a solo artist.

| 1 | What I Like about The Sims is that I don't have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It's fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favorite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She's really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It's pretty huge. |
| 2 | When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become. |
| 3 | There was a moment in my life when I really wanted to kill myself. And there was one other moment when I was close to that. But even in my most jaded times, I had some hope. |
| 4 | Surrounding myself with fans makes me feel like I'm not going through it alone." |
| 5 | If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen-year-old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about. |
| 6 | When I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really sleazy photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism. |
