At the bottom of the Music section can somebody add that Gerard Way contributed screamed vocals to the song Rōnin, released in March 28, 2022 by the black metal band Ibaraki? Source: https://www.nme.com/news/music/triviums-matt-heafy-shares-new-ibaraki-single-ronin-featuring-gerard-way-3191688

(Note: the above is not an April fools joke, Ibaraki is Trivium frontman Matt Heart’s black metal project) 2604:2D80:9801:E900:E0B8:C995:2526:95E4 (talk) 20:32, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree! Gerard looks different than he did in 2019 and I think a newer photo would be more accurate. Skierstonks25 (talk) 05:30, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please be specific about the changes to be made to the article. I assume you're referring to this image, which would probably be more appropriate in the Music career section rather than in the infobox. It is also nominated for deletion on Commons as a result of licensing issues, so I will not add it at this time. PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 02:28, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1993-present: writing

In cooperation with Nick Derington Way also wrote three volumes for the comic book series Doom Patrol titled “Weight of the worlds“, “Brick by Brick“ and “Nada“. 2003:D4:4F0F:B236:F0E4:8909:BFEB:8D1 (talk) 09:58, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
