"Gerard Way has said that he embraces comparisons to David Bowie. The former My Chemical Romance vocalist suggested that since going solo, he had been accused of &amp;quot;ripping off&amp;quot; the legendary singer.     The artwork for his album Hesitant Alien has been compared to Bowie&amp;#039;s Heroes LP, while Way&amp;#039;s dress sense has also been likened to Bowie&amp;#039;s Aladdin Sane era. Speaking to NME, Way said:&amp;quot;You can look at [the album] and go, &amp;#039;Yeah he&amp;#039;s trying to rip off Bowie&amp;#039;, but I&amp;#039;ve been ripping off Bowie my whole life so why stop now?&amp;quot; Way said that his solo album had a much different sound to his work with the band and he hoped to attract an older audience. &amp;quot;The music was very angry and it was coming from a very emotionally stunted individual that hasn&amp;#039;t grown up much past high school,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;I went through a lot of pain that teenagers could relate to, but grown-ups - people my age - would look at what we were doing and be like, &amp;#039;This is high school music&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;You know, I&amp;#039;d be lying if I said I didn&amp;#039;t want the acceptance of people my own age.&amp;quot; Way recently debuted his new song &amp;#039;No Shows&amp;#039;.
