Stipulation for the interview was no MCR questions!

 

So many ways around this.

See below example:

"Frank, do not bark twice if you are releasing an album with another band this year"

 

tickets secured for tomorrow

never seen them or Jimmy Eat World live before. i am.... extremely excited lol

 

Random but this popped up on my fyp the other day. Never heard it before, it’s good!

 

one hour till i see them holy hell

humbly asking the thread to help me manifest Fashion Statement or Heaven Help Us on the setlist

 

They really need to make Deathwish a setlist staple. I need to see it.

 

already one of the best concerts I've been to and MCR aren't even on yet. heaven help me

 

THEY FUCKING PLAYED DEATHWISH OH MY GOD

 

I may get some stuff wrong because my entire body is still vibrating with serotonin lmao but i believe the sets were:

Jimmy:
futures
pain
criminal energy
big casino
23
just tonight
work
sweetness
hear you me
something loud
praise chorus
bleed american
lucky denver mint
the middle

MCR:
foundations of decay
venom
na na na na
give em hell
ghost of you
destroya
vampire money
welcome to the black parade
how i disappear
boy division
vampires
I'm not okay
fashion statement (!!!!!!!)
mama (!!!!!!!!!)
teenagers
the world is ugly
sleep

cancer
helena
famous last words

 

Venom, ghost, disappear, ugly, Helena, and sleep. Incredible.

 

boy division into vampires would have knocked my ass out

 

Still kinda mad my show was Three Cheers heavy yet no Deathwish lol

 

12/18 songs they played at my show were Three Cheers era haha. Got really lucky with that show, but I do hope to see them play some other stuff one day.

 

I can't overstate what a fucking great show that was and like, how goddamn hard they went. I never saw them live in their heyday so I don't know what's changed, but it's astonishing a band this far in who were gone so long still sound so hungry and intense

I mean Decay into Venom alone was one of the most insane combos I've ever seen. Gerard sounded absolutely vicious all night, makes me want to hear him put out really heavy music again because his screams still sound insane. and the entirety of both bands are just consummate professionals, didn't miss a note and sounded absolutely airtight

both Jim and Gerard also took time between songs to get the crowd to back up and help people out of the crowd if they needed it which was really appreciated. haven't been to an arena concert since before COVID, heard some horror stories, but this crowd at least was pretty A+. seeing the entire stadium light up with phone lights during Hear You Me and Cancer was a pretty moving experience. on that note some blurry pictures



(halfway through Decay the back curtain opened to show this backdrop, one of the coolest things I've ever seen lol)

 

They were absolutely amazing weren’t they? I was also shocked by the intensity of their set, they did sound so hungry it was amazing. Especially after doing as many shows as they have. The curtain drop was insane and Gerard’s entrance with blood all over the face was just insane… I’m glad you enjoyed the JEW set @Rowan5215 , I recognised your name from Sputnikmusic (where I just lurk lol) - your support for that band on the site is part of what drove me to check them out properly and dig through their catalogue beyond just “the middle”… they’re one of my favourites now and I’m glad you got to enjoy such a killer set from them. They are such consummate professionals, 23 was jaw dropping

 

hey thanks, Jimmy have been a favourite of mine since I was about 8 lmao, it makes me really happy that people are still discovering how good they are. one of the few bands with almost no dips in quality for me even over nearly 30 years. and yeah 23 was absolutely astonishing, I almost couldn't focus on their next few songs because I was still processing it lol

 

Does anyone still believe that more new music is on the way soon?

 

I'm optimistic

 

I feel it’s more likely the tour was a one-off thing, but I really hope I’m wrong

 

Yeah I'm not feeling very optimistic but it would be a great surprise

 

They’re gonna shut everything down for awhile and I missed my only chance to see them before I’m 40
