The musician is the lead vocalist and co-founder of the alternative rock band from New Jersey.
The 34-year-old star has revealed the group's underwhelming response from people after the release of their debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002.
Despite not having many people in the crowd, Gerard takes his hat off to the handful of loyal supporters that were in attendance.
"We played with Christian bands, metal bands, hardcore bands, indie bands, anyone. Only five or ten people were there to see us, but they were our people," he explained in an interview with Kerrang! magazine.
"And they'd be noisy too. I once watched someone clock a kid who'd been having a go at us in the face. It was awesome."
Bandmate Frank Iero says the band were full of ambition after their debut release. The group were hell-bent on causing destruction wherever they went.
"We only really had one [goal] - to get as far away from home as possible. We just wanted to play," he added.
"We'd play anywhere and with anyone and we'd destroy s**t."
