BROTHER GERARD’S<br />
IMPACT ON HIM<br />
LASTYEAR, GERARD TOLD K!<br />
HOW PROUD HE WAS OF YOU<br />
FOR OVERCOMING YOUR<br />
PROBLEMS. HOW DID THAT<br />
MAKE YOU FEEL?<br />
“He’s always my beacon of light.<br />
He’s always there for me, he’s so<br />
supportive and loving and caring<br />
and nurturing. I couldn’t ask for<br />
a better big brother. I won in the<br />
sibling lottery of life.”<br />
ARE YOU STILL AS CLOSE AS<br />
YOU WERE IN MCR?<br />
“Absolutely. We talk all the time,<br />
and we live fairly close to each<br />
other and find time to hang out.”<br />
WHAT DO YOU DO<br />
TOGETHER?<br />
“We drink coffee and talk about<br />
life, what’s going on in our heads<br />
and what we’re doing creatively.<br />
He’s a great soundboard for<br />
creativity and I’m always able to<br />
share what I’m doing with him. He<br />
gives honest, brutal feedback.”<br />
WHAT DOES HE THINK OF<br />
THE ALBUM?<br />
“He really likes it a lot.<br />
He’s heard every version<br />
of every song since the<br />
beginning. He’s into it.”<br />
DID HE GIVE YOU<br />
ANY ADVICE?<br />
“Just have fun, and to<br />
remember to make stuff<br />
you want to make and<br />
have a blast doing it.”<br />
Mikey and Gerard during<br />
their shared MCR years<br />
