I took a super weird route. Saw them 12-15x times during Bullets, 2x or so during Three Cheers and then...never again.
I'm kind of okay that I only ever saw them in giant venues. Those early days certainly seemed magical but that seemed long before they got their shit together playing live, and I always felt they were meant to play big stages. Although the magic was gone towards the end. Honda Civic Tour was depressing.
only ever saw em on projekt revolution right after black parade came out. may not have been a headliner but holy crap what a great show.
I only saw them open for Blink in 2011 and nobody around me was into it for some reason. Ruined the vibe for me. Did not expect that to be the only time I ever saw them
I wished I lived close enough to a city to see bands a lot of times. I've seen mcr like 4 times and each time they sounded better than the time before. But going to shows was (and still is lol) such an ordeal that there were some I really wanted to see from them and missed
I got to see them like 8 times but they were all in the Danger Days era. So sad that I didn't start going to shows until 2009, I would have loved to see their earlier shows.
Only saw them once, and it was opening for Blink. They did play Skylines and Turnstiles, a slowed down version of it since the show was on 9/11
Pretty certain they were still an arena level band when they split (they were in the uk at least). I only saw MCR once and they absolutley killed it, it was on the tour for 3 cheers and had Every Time I Die supporting (they were on Gutter Phenomenon). I wish I'd caught them on the Danger Days tour as I'd imagine Sing being incredible live. I'd imagine a reunion is on it's way at some point int the next 2 years, it's been about the right amount of time now.
They mostly played the Fillmore here in Detroit near the end of their run, but they sold it out each time. Around 3,000 capacity.
Still don't feel like a reunion is possible any time soon. I honestly don't think they'll ever get back together, maybe they'll play a show at some point but I don't even know about that.
Aw man, what a beautiful time for band message boards. Chorus is my only one now, but I used to frequent one for each of my favorite bands around that era. Meeting up with people at shows was a beautiful thing. I saw MCR around that same era, just before 3 Cheers was released. Also, where's Ray's solo album?
Saw them on the Black Parade tour, where (I believe) they played the album in full. It was at the Verizon Arena in NH. Also saw them open for blink on the Honda Civic tour.
Their headlining tour for Danger Days was mid-size theaters (Fillmores, Aragon, House of Blues, etc). Their final US a tour was with Blink-182 in amphitheaters. So they played to big crowds just not necessarily their own
Indeed. Official MCR boards during the Bullets era was a zoo. Very cliquey (I was a part of the problem) and got semi-nasty towards n00bs, to the point that the band shut down the boards shortly before Three Cheers. This unofficial one cropped up in its wake and was a good time. I miss it!
They played in mid sized venues most of the times I saw them, but they played in a big one for the black parade tour. They got better and better each time I saw them. I think the first time I saw them circa survive opened? Idk
Lol, MCR members are not hurting for cash at all. If they do get back together, I guarantee it isn't strictly for money.
