I started going to shows more regularly in 2010, plus it took me years to properly get into them so I missed my call at the time. I'm not able to see them on their upcoming European tour so I hope I'll get my chance in the following years.
Funny that MCR opened for Muse on their 2007 European tour, and Muse opened for MCR on their 2007 US tour.
Saw them open for blink in 2011 from the lawn and it was really unremarkable. My brother saw them with Green Day on the American idiot tour though, I was too young to go to shows then according to my parents
Best time seeing them was for the black parade is dead tour. Smaller venue and hearing b-sides was awesome. Felt very cool and intimate after seeing their big black parade tour production.
I was too young during the TCFSR and BP eras, and a bit of a loner until i hit 16, and it wasn’t until I was 17 that I started going to gigs with friends. And then they finally came back with Danger Days and I wasn’t hugely into it, so i never saw them. Very pumped for Saturday though.
i've been doing a discog run for the billionth time, surprise it all rules excited to listen to danger days later just to get to: YOU MOTHERFUCKER (ohhhhh)
it is not unfair to say danger days is backloaded (*al pacino voice* it's got a great ass) but also: "bulletproof heart" is the best song ever
Saw them during TBP at Voodoo Fest 2006 and again at The House of Blues I think in 2008 in New Orleans…
'cause you only live forever in the lights you make when we were young we used to say that you only hear the music when your heart begins to break now we are the kids from yesterday ;_;
Here's a vid for anyone who wants to see the dude from The Darkness get retroactively super into MCR.
Loving all the song choices they've played so far while still holding out hope that one day I'll see them play My Way Home Is Through You so I can yell/sing "my gun, fires seven different shades of shit. so what's your favorite color, punk?" with a bunch of other people.
I remember reading somewhere that Gerard was super into Neon Trees around the time of Danger Days and I can really hear it
