tehometWell, that was mental.
I had forgotten how crazy live gigs can be. I was right in the middle, ten foot from the stage, and it was moshpit central, although security kept trying to break it up. But good luck to them even trying to get in there in the crush. I'd have thought that being in a heaving mass of sweaty strangers would be unpleasant, but I just threw myself in and elbowed anyone who was aggressive, and actually it was fun!
My Chemical Romance are fantastic live. They played it like they meant it. Frank Iero is incredibly rock and roll, even in a dodgy green cardigan; Ray Toro is amazing and note-perfect; Gerard was excellent; and Mikey was cool. They came out in Irish football shirts for the last song, which was well-meaning but kinda bizarre. The new drummer guy, whoever the hell he is, was fine; even the two support acts (LostAlone and The Blackout) didn't suck.
The music was such a rush. I danced and sang and screamed my guts out for four hours, and now my face hurts from smiling and I ache all over.
Brilliant.

Date: 2023-06-22 02:24 pm (UTC)I was wondering if your Frank Iero fanlisting would like to affiliate with the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge one? The join and contact forms on the fanlisting don't work as the captcha doesn't load and your email address kept bouncing back?
If you do, drop me an email fan@drinkingsouls.com
Thank you.
