Yes! Gerard was a comic book artist who graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York and got a job working for, um, Cartoon Network? I think. Anyways, he saw the crash and decided right then that he had to change his life, that he had to do something that mattered. Within a week, he'd started the band; within the year, they'd released their first record. Pretty fucking inspirational.
