More pieces of music from the Gerard Way Archives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

After opening the vault a few weeks back, Gerard Way<\/strong> has posted two more previously unreleased demos on his SoundCloud.<\/p>\n

Much like the four tracks that he dropped then, these two were made alongside producer Doug McKean at different points over the last few years.<\/p>\n

Have a listen to both tracks and read some notes on each from Gerard below:<\/p>\n

PS EARTH<\/strong><\/u>
“This one was recorded at the tail end of the Hesitant Alien demo sessions, just Doug and I. I liked it well enough at the time, felt kind of 90\u2019s, didn\u2019t end up putting any vocals on it though. I like the bridge a lot. Looking back at the whole thing, I like it, but not sure if I\u2019m going to finish it. Guitar, bass by me. Programmed drums by Doug.”<\/em><\/p>\n

CRATE AMP_01<\/u><\/strong>
“This is the start of the Crate amp jam. Like I mentioned in the other post about the Crate amp jams, I wasn\u2019t sure when Doug was in record-mode, because I was in the live room with the amp, so I just started playing. I feel like doing more of these Crate amp jams. I think we can get it to sound even more messed up. At one point, I think in a later track, Doug tried to do this thing where he put a glass bottle over one of the mics, to make it sound more messed up and kind of underwater.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Oh and when I bought this amp, I also bought an old Peavy, which is another kind of amp that is cheap and you saw a lot of metal bands using in the 80\u2019s. That one sounds pretty messed up too, and I think it also has built in distortion. The amps sound pretty different from each other though. I can\u2019t remember which guitar I was playing for certain, but I am pretty sure it was the BC Rich Mockingbird Lindsey got me for Christmas, which I love. BC Rich is another one of these companies gear heads get snobby about, and the 80\u2019s saw a lot of metal bands, all kinds of metal bands, use them. Thrash, hair metal, just all kinds of metal. The Warlock was everywhere.<\/p>\n

“Years ago I heard about this successful musician buying up a ton of a certain kind of guitar, to corner the market on them, so I thought I would do what he was doing, but in the complete opposite direction, and buy up a ton of guitars no one really wanted and that wouldn\u2019t really increase in value. Just to be a clown. I ended up not doing that, as that would have been a gross misuse of funds simply to make a joke, but I did eventually get one. I like the shape a lot. It sounds metal af.”<\/p>\n

Absolutely wonderful.<\/p>\n

You can watch up with the other four tracks ‘Phoning It In’, ‘Crate Amp_02’, ‘Success!’ and ‘”Welcome to the Hotel’, and read Gerard’s notes on each HERE<\/a><\/p>\n
