Oh man. Brian? This is my primary reference for all things Brian. I reread that interview every few months or so, and it's where I take all my Brian characterization. And dude, he was the one Gerard called EVERY NIGHT while he was working himself toward rock bottom and the band was on tour without Brian, so he was very closely involved in that. I think Brian's a lot like Gerard, actually, or he was in his twenties, in that sense of "this is my dream." He was in the music scene for years, from the point when he left home until now, really.
And I have no idea how he reacted to Gerard, but in my head it went something like, okay, I'm going to deal with what I have in front of me right now, which is a drunk/drug-fueled/suicidal lead singer, and I have to get him through this intact plus the rest of the tour has to work out, jesus--uh, I think he was probably working way too fucking hard and then helping hold Gerard together, and I don't think he had time to think, and then suddenly they were all okay, and then it got too much.
Does that make sense? Feel free to ask me more questions!
