Guess where I was on Wednsday? :D
Yes, despite my former statement that I couldn't go to the My Chem gig, I ended up going anyway. and before I start my recount of the awesome night that it was, I'm going to make a short statment that really shouldn't be needed, but is anyway;
I do not give a fuck if you think they are depressing/emos/fags etc. I never have, and never will. Your opinion of them is irrelevant.
It's so irritating. And whats more, when I say I don't care, one of the responses is that if I didn't care I wouldn't say anything. Idiots, I don't care about your opinion, what bothers me is that you're trying to force it on me with your righteous indignation that if you think a band suck, I should too. Anyway. Moving on.
I left school at one, went home and then went to Monstereven to get the bus with Siobhan. Then we got the Luas with her sister, and got to the O2 at about three or four, I can't remember. Queueing was boring, and so, so cold. Doors didn't open until half six, but it was worth it.
I got a super awesome "Art is the weapon" tee shirt. I wanted another one, but needed to keep money for the bus home, so I settled for an overpriced wrsitband. Turns out we didn't get the bus home, but anyway.
Most of the people there were pretty awesome, apart from some fat drunk idiot who just annoyed everyone, and some idiot little 13 year old who was there with her mum, only sang the Black Parade, and pinched people when they pushed into her or got in front of her. I'm serious. But here I am, focusing on the bad stuff, what's wrong with me?
The first support band were LostAlone...yeah, they sucked, but the frontman did put on a good show.
Then there was The Blackout. Ohmydearsweetjesus. Did I mention I love The Blackout with an undying passion? They were soooo good! Sean Smith is such a legend.
"Give it up for LostAlone!
Give it up for Gavin!
Give it up for the security crew!
Give it up for Pop Tarts!"
I think he talks to the crowd most out of all the bands I've seen. He's awesome, because it's not the usual stuff you hear from bands, but just random shit. It's like he's actually holding a conversation- albiet with a hell of a lot of people.
They played all my favourite songs, including Spread Legs, Not Lies, which was a surprise. During I'm A Riot (freakin' brilliant song) Sean Smith sang most of the chorus while looking directly at me. Presumably because I was screaming the song back, and most of the people around me were clearly just My Chem fans. Lovvved it :D
And then there was My Chemical Romance, who I think I'll always have a special love for. I honestly can't help but love them. Maybe because when I was eleven and decided that what the majority of what my class listened to was shit, I turned to My Chem. Which doesn't say much in all fairness, because we all know those little idiots who love MCR and Paramore, and just annoy everybody. But, call me an emo, I was seriously insecure for about two years, and I don't care how retarded it sounds, My Chem were a help. Sure, I was a silly little twelve year old, who really knew a lot less about everything than she thought she did, but the fact that I had no confidence is undisputable.
So hearing songs that I've heard hundred times at home, live with the beautiful band in front of me- it was freakin' awesome. They opened with Na Na Na, great decision. I really love the new album.
It was a long concert, and every second was worth it.
There's more that needs saying but I'm tired.
