My Chemical Romance Band • Page 594

Someone posted the whole soundcheck from yesterday on their reddit. They play the entire record with some unique flourishes…but beyond that nothing crazy (only one non TBP song it seems). Seems like a musical theater type of show.

 

While I somewhat agree… you can’t say that post from Wednesday wasn’t at least a bit cryptic lol. Of course people are gonna speculate

 

I’m all for calling out toxic online fan culture, and god knows this band’s fanbase has its fair share of that. But also the band loves its mysterious teasers and cryptic hints, so they aren’t doing “literally nothing”

 

early look at merch. there's date exclusive shirts (which is the subpop rip for this one obviously)

 

Merch is kind lacking imo. Hope the San Francisco shirt is cool.

 

Posting cryptic images with zero context is literally doing something.

 

Does anyone have an idea of what set times will be? Deciding if I will be a menace and try to get last minute tickets tonight but it would be cutting it close and I don't want to do all that if I will miss some of their set

 

Right, but it means literally anything. It doesn't have to mean new music, but that's exactly where the conversation goes every single time. Just accept it's never happening.

 

It's like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Blade. These things only exist to never happen.

 

They did post a cryptic image, with cryptid words in the caption that could easily be interpreted as new lyrics. With today’s date. I don’t blame anyone for thinking it could be *something*

 

Good lord lol

 

gruuuuuuuummmmmmmmpy

 

Murph being a grump? A day that ends in Y.

 

I do like that baseball tee.

 

Patrick i stg

 

I saw that they are handing out cards that say “YEA” or “NAY” on them to everyone

 

holding up NAY until they play Drowning Lessons

 

I wonder if this become a controversial thread.

 

Some nice selections for the encore set

 

The whole show was amazing, had goosebumps the entire time and really enjoyed myself. Definitely was surprised they did the whole encore at the B stage but man that ruled especially seeing them play Heaven Help Us.

Just a heads up that getting merch was kind of a nightmare but that's just me being annoyed that I spent over 2 hours in line for the outside merch truck and then had to bail so I didn't miss any of the music.

 

Did Michael announce anything at the show?

 

In 3 years they came up with a slightly extended version on Mama and felt that was post worthy lol

table scraps

 

It will be exciting to see what subtle changes are made to their live show through cryptic posting on social media over these next however many years lmao.

There certainly is a disconnect from fans who still see these cryptic messages on social media and think it means something. I think a lot of fans are still expecting MCR as artists to make new art, but if anything these last six years have shown that the revival of MCR has had more of a capitalistic focus than it has a continuation of an artistic one.

They should absolutely be making $$$ off of that art, but their lack of self-awareness opens the door to valid criticism. And they should absolutely have the piss taken every time they do something like this. If Tom Delonge can get it, so can they. I think they actually will release new music one day once people wear tired of legacy concerts from them. It might just be a one off song to drum up ticket sales, but eventually the cryptic messages will mean something (maybe).
