Build a setlist: My Chemical Romance

They're back! Let's assume they are playing 20-25 songs. What do you want to hear?

 

Our Lady Of Sorrows 20-25 times

Idk I'm thinking about it just subbing

 

There's what I would ideally want and then what I'd want thats actually possible.

My ideal:

Helena
Give Em Hell Kid
To the End
Prison
I'm Not Okay
The Ghost of You
The Jetset Life
Thank You for the Venom
Hang Em High
Fashion Statement
Cemetery Drive
I Never Told You

Boy Division
Vampires
Drowning Lessons
Heaven Help Us
Early Sunsets
My Way Home is Through You
Summertime
Mama
Sleep
Desert Song
This is the Best Day Ever
This is How I Disappear
Demolition Lovers

 

right now my ideal setlist is Three Cheers and The Black Parade in full. gotta dive in to Danger Days and Conventional Weapons cuz I've never actually listened (such a fake fan)

 

Danger Days has grown on me a lot, has some very very good songs

 

I wasn't big on Three Cheers when it came out, so I'm gonna give their whole discog a listen today. My ideal right now is just all of I Brought you My Bullets and Thank You for the Venom. lol

 

Honestly, I would just have it be all of Three Cheers and then "Vampires Will Never Hurt You".

I saw this band a lot from 2002-2004 and I still don't think I've ever felt a more pure shot of adrenaline through my veins from any other band than when the "Honey, This Mirror..." riff would open a show. Immediate psychosis.

Once again, no encores, they're for chumps

Just kidding this time they bring out Motion City Soundtrack, Rage Against the Machine, MeWithoutYou, and everyone else on a reunion or farewell tour and they play a mash-up to Welcome to the Black Parade, Helena, I'm Not Okay, and Famous Last Words.

 

@Henry you should make one for Rage Against The Machine since they are back now too.
