The Burning Question!

Chatting to Kerrang! last week, My Chemical Romance vocalist Gerard Way revealed that if he ever got sick - he would hope the band would carry on touring without him.

Gerard told Kerrang!, that in the event of this happening, he would "trust Adam [Lazzara] from Taking Back Sunday to fill in."

"He did it once before at a show that I had to cancel when my voice blew out," he revealed. "Adam sung 'Not OK…' at a radio station, and it was the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me!"

Who do YOU think could do a good job of (temporarily) stepping into Gerard's shoes were he to fall ill?

Post your answer as a comment below - and remember to include a link to your MySpace profile - so we can print your answer in Kerrang! magazine!

a trained monkey for pre-pubescent grils to scream at, and a recording of Gerard for the actual music.

Replacement for Gerard Way

It's not just pre-pubescent girls screaming at MCR gigs for Gerard Way, it's sometimes us post-pubescent girls too! But when it comes right down to it, it's only the sound that matters. ROCK ROCKS!! In all it's strange,assorted forms, if you don't like how they sound, fair enough, but if it's just their fans you don't like, you really need to get out more!!!

Filling in for Gerard Way

The obvious fill in would be Billie Joe from Green Day!

I think Jared Leto from 30 Seconds to Mars could fill his shoes, In fact I think he would make the band better. He has a much better voice too. I don't think Wil Francis would make a good Gerard because Aiden's last album, Conviction was such a disappointment, whereas I enjoyed A Beautiful Lie a lot

Me again

Oh, I just had a bright spark. I amgine Hayley Williams, filling in for Gerard Way, Would be a totally different (and better) vocal performance. also add in some guitaring solos from Josh farro also. That would improve the band greatly

I think the best candidates for this would have to be Nathan Leone, Bille-joe Armstrong, Jared Leto or Dave Grohl.
You've got to have a pretty special voice to fil in for the amazing Gerard Way!

Maybe... Lawl I would enjoy seeing Matt Bellamy up there, or... Brian Molko, I heard him and Gerard are mates. That would be cool.

Who'd do a good job?

Someone whose testicles have dropped, thats who.


But for MCR... I'd have to go with someone like Sonny Moore. Even though I hate him.

Glenn Danzig. Without the Misfits there'd be no such thing as goth punk or emo.

I think Gerard is right, Adam Lazarra is a great stand in, although I have to say I don't think anyone could ever replace him. Peter Petrelli however, I wonder if he can sing.........
