Kerrang awards 2007

Take to the basement! Day Of Rock image gallery

Gerard Way checks in

My Chemical Romance, who have picked up an impressive four nominations for this year’s Kerrang! Awards, are naturally over the moon about being nominated. MCR frontman Gerard Way has just check in from the US to say:


"It's been an amazing, crazy adventure being in this band for six years. The United Kingdom has always been a second home for us and you have all done more than make us feel welcome. And while nominations are flattering, and trophies are thrilling, our greatest award is the love and dedication we receive from all of you - and nothing sitting in a shelf can take the place of that. Thank you for making us the best we can be"

What a lovely man.

Nahh, i love Gerard, hes one awesome kid. (:
AND I CNT WAIT TO SEE THEM IN NOVEMBER AT THE O2!! (:

Posted by Emz | August 10, 2007 7:13 PM

I think that just shows how much Gerard isn't in it for the fame, he doesn't care about trophies or anything.

He just cares about changing lives with the band.

WOO MY CHEM. They deserve to win everything they've been nominated for.

Posted by Sarah | August 10, 2007 7:21 PM

I bet MCR will win all their nominations, I hope they fk*in do! They are great.

Posted by Gina | August 10, 2007 7:23 PM

So genuine, really is a person to care a lot for his fans, doesnt have his head up his arse like most wannabe rock stars.

Good Luck to Muse (best band on the planet) 30 seconds to Mars and obviously My Chemical Romance, they all deserve to win an award!!

Posted by Charlie | August 10, 2007 7:23 PM

Aww, such a sweet guy <3 He's so caring, so....down-to-earth, so....human.
That's what makes MCR so awesome - they're all so genuine and well, human.
Good luck, MCR!
I bet you win all your nominations - you deserve it. And also, you all are just so awesome. Rock on! \m/

Posted by angelface way | August 10, 2007 9:22 PM

Well we already know that MCR care for thier loving fans. Can you believe how amazing that it is to take nearly a week that they could have had a break with, and come and visit the UK for a tour the second time this year. Shouldnt there be a dedication award with MCRs name on it??

Posted by rachel | August 10, 2007 9:27 PM

omg, that sos sweet i love gerard soooooo much! he is my idol! i love that he is passionate about what he does and isnt in it for the money or the fame. he wants his music to mean something to people and for me it totally does. MCR have actually helped me in a lot of ways!!!

I think they deserve all their nominations, they are the best band in the world, they dont have one bad word to say about anybody, they care for us fans so much and give us all they've got so they definatly deserve my votes! LongLiveTheBlackParade I was just wondering can you only vote once or can you vote as many times as you want and it will count? I also cant find best video. AWSOME, GENUINE, FUNNY, KIND AND THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

They deserve to win. Esp. after what Mikey went through during the making of TBP.

Posted by Amyy-leigh | August 12, 2007 1:23 PM

MCR dont deserve these awards.
If you hadnt noticed..none of the bands deserving awards got them last year.
The album sucks...give other bands a chance instead of stealing the limelight you silly little emo kids!

Posted by Ant | August 12, 2007 6:56 PM

Oh my.
Gerard Way is one of my favourite rock stars. He's so sweet.
=]
My Chemical Romance deserve to win lots and lots of awards.
They are one of the best rock bands around.
They are also very genuine people.
I love them and the music they make.

Posted by Faye | August 12, 2007 7:49 PM

MCR do should not get eney awards for making crapy music and get away with it prober bands like machine head and bullet for my valentine should get the best album and band but crappy pop emo bands

Posted by Machine f**king Head | August 12, 2007 8:56 PM

Vote MCR!!!!! vote for them and not Fall Out Boy.Mcr rocks!

Posted by Rose Way | August 12, 2007 9:21 PM

Gerard Way. Is there good enough words to describe him? He can sing, write, draw, dance, perform! And yet he isn't full of himself or bigheaded. He is still as down to earth as he was from day 1. People who slag MCR and Gerard Way for that matter should stop. They are all so talented and nothing can stop them now.

Posted by MCR!X! | August 12, 2007 9:31 PM

he is so nice, its amazing. yeah, me and all mi m8s love u, gerard, ur just an awesum guy

gee way rules he rocks my socks but frank iero rocks my shoes aswell

Posted by SHAZAMTHA | August 13, 2007 6:31 PM

First of all, all of you dumbassess are brainwash! Gerard is fake as his hair and lost sight in what real music is! He used Bert for fame and tossed him away. Bert is better off without that fag! Just like in his song " Gerard can careless as long as he 's on t.v.!"

Posted by Elizabeth | August 13, 2007 9:29 PM

They deserve every award.
They truly do.
They work so goddamn hard for everything,, for their music && their fans.

"AND I CNT WAIT TO SEE THEM IN NOVEMBER AT THE O2!! (:

EMZ!! [I hope this is you xD]
I'mma going with you! :D
It'll win! :D

Posted by Katie | August 13, 2007 10:54 PM

LOOK!!!!!!
what I am about to say is true, if you don't believe me thats on you. Ok, I know someone who worked backstage as an secrity gard during the show in Airzona. And he told me that he saw Gerard under the influance and said that he could bearly play that night. When he told me that , I didn't believe it until i saw a video that night of the performce. So for all those fans who love Greard Way, I think you should be worried about him going back to drugs than his looks. ( don't believe me go to you tube about type projekt rev. MCR)

Posted by Ava | August 14, 2007 2:04 AM

Gerard is the sweetest most talented guy in the world,i love him with all my heart.

This shows the reason why mcr deserve allt he awards they were nominated for.

there deffinetly a one of a kind band and there so down to earth....

they care so much about there fans and not about the number ones, or the women, or the medals and trophies and awards... they care about ppl and the way there treated and being happy.

so for all these ppl tht say mcr are gay and posers and wannabes read that you goons!!! ^^^^^ lol

love them <3

Posted by Nicole | August 14, 2007 5:12 PM
