Gerard Way's songs that made him

For so many of us, My Chemical Romance soundtracked our angsty youth. Their theatrical music was mirrored by the wild shows, and Gerard Way was at the centre of it all. He wasn’t just a musician - he was an illustrator, a comic book author, and most of all a fan. In 2015 he was in Australia performing at the Soundwave festival off the back of his debut solo album Hesitant Alien and supporting the Smashing Pumpkins so I grabbed the chance to Take 5. Supergrass - ‘Caught By The Fuzz’ David Bowie - ‘Five Years’ Iggy & the Stooges - ‘Search and Destroy’ Sleater-Kinney - ‘I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone’ Pulp - ‘This Is Hardcore’
