My Chemical Romance Vocalist Gerard Way Co-Writes Episode for Kids&rsquo; TV Series &lsquo;The Aquabats! Super Show!&rsquo;; Continues to Work on New Music

&ldquo;I&rsquo;m definitely not taking a break,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m usually up until a minimum of 2 a.m. writing music and I&rsquo;m up at about 7 a.m. with my daughter. So I&rsquo;m sleeping four to five hours a night and I work from the minute I&rsquo;m up after I drop her at school until I go to bed.&rdquo;
While Way revealed that he has been tinkering in his home studio with multiple styles of music and playing different arrangements with various instrumentation, he won&rsquo;t specify whether the songs are rock, punk, pop or something altogether different. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m just trying to figure out exactly what I&rsquo;m supposed to do,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I take a cue from the universe and I think about that pretty deeply and go with my gut 100 percent.&rdquo;
He did, however, deny any interest in doing a solo record. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never seen myself as a solo guy. Some of my favorite artists, like Nick Cave and Tom Waits, are so far beyond me right now and I feel that if I was going to do something like what they do, I&rsquo;d have to be a lot older and I&rsquo;d need a lot more life experience. So I don&rsquo;t feel like doing that. It just doesn&rsquo;t feel right.&rdquo;
That puts Way in an uncertain position that will probably be dictated by fate or the right meeting with the right group of people &mdash; though he said that right now he&rsquo;s putting no effort into forming a new band.
&ldquo;I really haven&rsquo;t been doing anything concrete except writing tons of stuff,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m just having experiences. I&rsquo;m playing tons of instruments, constantly writing music, and I guess I&rsquo;m putting myself out there and not pushing anything away. The only way I can describe it is I don&rsquo;t know who I was before I started My Chem. I know that answers nothing, but that&rsquo;s the point. I&rsquo;m just exploring and seeing what happens.&rdquo;
