Article dans le magazine Rockin'On, magazine japonais, à l'occasion de la sortie de Safe and Sound :
Et quelques extraits de l'article :
-(Who is currently moving you musically at the moment?)
Gerard:"Recently I like the new Glasvegas album very much, I think they're a great band, so I'm excited about them, and I'm looking forward to MEW's new album, Rich Costy is producing it and he produced Glasvegas's album too.....And also I'm listening to lots of older stuff like the Stooges, the old Damned albums, like really punky stuff, I like artists with very raw performance, and that's the direction we are trying for the new album."
-(What kind of emotion is pouring out of you now?)
"A lot of excitement, really, I don't have beefs with anybody I don't have any problems I'm basically very happy but there's this reckless kind of excitement with what we can do with music and that's what we are all excited about"
- They started to work on new songs in October 08, after they did the second recordings of "Desolation Row" in NY.
(What happened to the "new song"we can hear on the Black Parade Is Dead! DVD?) "That's a very good question. I don't know!(laughs) ...We have to see. We haven't even touched it, what we've been working on are completely new songs. so we haven't really delved into it"
- He never wants to be a solo artist but he wants to keep writing songs for other people because he thinks it's a healthy thing to do and some of his favorite songs are the ones that his favorite artists wrote for other people, like "All the Young Dude"written by David Bowie for Mott the Hoople.
- At the time of the interview, the producer was not confirmed yet, but he said they were talking with Brendan O'Brien and if they could actually work with him the new album would be finished quickly because Brendan is known for working quickly, and that's what they want this time around, especially after the long and hard work for the Black Parade.
-He couldn't say if they'd play new songs at Summer Sonic for sure but he said he knew that the next time they'd play a show, that'd be when they'd play new songs.
