This is really lovely. It's nice to see Bert as not a villian and the way you write his thoughts feels right.

He knows exactly what Gerard's brother and their little psycho guitarist think of him (although it doesn't take a genius to work out what said psycho guitarist's problem is; really, those big starry eyes are so painfully obvious), and it kind of hurts. Sure, he knows he's loud and obnoxious and kind of a douchebag sometimes, but he's not that guy, never will be.

I'd quote the whole thing back at you really but this part especially really stood out for me. It's pretty much my favorite bit.
