It is interesting. Also flattering that people would think about these things.

Oh, questions. Let me learn you in the way of the Way brothers :D

Gerard being lost is actually canon. He's been open about his problems, how he spent a lot of time abusing alcohol and prescription drugs, add in illegal drugs too and once he nearly died. There's also a battle with deep ongoing depression and well, you get the picture. But that time he nearly died he decided enough was enough, and quit, everything, and has been clean ever since.

Mikey also has problems with depression, and while they were recording their last album had a really bad time that led to him having to leave the band for a while. He also had a drink problem, one he admitted was worse than Gerard's at times.

There's some great articles here (http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=1533), here (http://altpress.com/features/MyChem.htm) and written up here (http://wax-jism.livejournal.com/1237392.html) if you want to read more.

I have to admit, their relationship fascinated me. How hard it must have been for Mikey watching his big brother going through that? Especially with his own problems being so similar. They're incredibly close and have gone on to be so successful. I just think it's great.

It also makes me wonder about Nsync, and especially Chris. He's hinted at how things got, if boybands were allowed to be more open, would he be telling all in articles like that?

Also. MIKEY IS THE PRETTIEST WAY OF ALL!
