I've always loved Gerard's speaking voice.

Video is mildly mottsy.

It is a bit mottsy! Ahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. Some good GIFs have come out of it on tumblr! But yeah, I mostly felt a bit awkward.

[rosalui]

Which is weird, because I usually love their super dramatic stuff and Gerard's crazyass expressions.

It's like being challenged to a staring contest and you can't help but laugh and feel awkward because the other person is taking it way too seriously.

While I think this is awesome (just for the gifs that have come out of it) I am LOL at Gerard because wow, he cannot help but have some crazyface. Which is cool...I get the crazy eye in pictures a lot. It just gives me a giggle.

I wonder when this was filmed. Because Frank seems to have that "What? Fuck, I'm tired. New baby. Twins. Stand here and stare? I can do that." sort of look. Still manages to look like hotter than everything EVER, though.

I think it's from like...early-mid 2011. I don't know if it was a photoshoot or some interview, but I remember them all dressed like that (at the same time, I mean -I know Gerard and Mikey don't change clothes much), I especially remember Ray's shirt, lol. It was around the time when they were touring Europe. And although it's black and white, you can guess that was Gerard's red hair. So I guess those AMP people have had it ready for a long time and were only waiting to have videos from other bands too and then post them all together.

Gerard's shirt still has the bumblebee logo instead of the red numbers, so this would have been February 2011 during the England leg of WCT. After the European leg it got modified to the way it looked for the rest of the tour.

What have we done of you, Matty? You're part of the telling-date-by-clothes-and-hair club! xD I agree, though, I don't think that shirt ever looked that way again.

Ahh, so glad to know several of you also thought it was rather awkward (although cool) and mostly giggled nervously at it. xD I felt kind of bad because I was seeing people talk about how it made them emotional and they cried and I was "uh..I couldn't help laughing at their awkward seriousness, so the emotional factor was kinda lost?" xD I never meant to criticize it, it's a pretty cool idea, but that was my reaction!
