MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE CONCERT 11TH NOV!!!!!!!!

"How the fuck are you doing?

I don't really care"

The immortal words of Gerard Way

Last night was the BEST night f my life! I thought nothing could beat seeing My Chemial Romance on The Black Parade tour. But this did!

So we picked up Emma and it was pitch black outside and raining, typical! We got to the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena at 5:30am and Oh My Gee, we were freezing our asses off! On one of my excursuons into town, i got some Frankie-style skeleton gloves!! xD yayness!!

I met some really awesome people in the queue and i met up with Lynnie and Sam and found Karli sitting in Starbucks with Adele and Becca and i met up again with them in the car park whilst me, Adele, Caitlin and Paige tried to spot the MCR tour bus arriving! was damn funny! so many National Express coaches were mistaken for the MCR bus! lol! Plus i met up with Heatharrrrgh and Natalie so it was damn awesomeness!

Me and Adele were leaning against the barrier before the show and i saw the buses arrive over her shoulder and we were like "walk slow. don't be obvious. FUCKIN RUN!" lol and we saw Toro, Bob, Gerard and Lyn-Z getting off the tour buses! Me and Caitlin just gave these fangirls evils and i went back to the front where everyone had moved up because some people tried to push in, i mean we queued since 5am, daylight came and went and we were freezin our asses off and the MCR fans were like there's no way people are pushing ahead of us cos thats just not fair at all so we didnt let people queue jump! it was about 5:30 when they moved us to the doors and me, Caitlin and Emma linked arms and got prepared. they finally let us in and we ran ahead but the central doors were locked so we went to the right hand corridor and freakin ran like mad! we went down the corridor until the very end when they kept us waiting for about 10 minutes and wow it so so hot there! people kept pushing but they wouldn't let us in unless we stopped and also MSI were still doing their soundcheck so we waited and then they let us in and we just RAN to where Mikey was gonna be! I GOT TO THE BARRIER! there were these 2 small girls and they made this gap and let me go there! xD

Mindless Self Indulgence started at about 7:30pm and wow they have such an energetic show! Jimmy jumped down and i grabbed his arm lol then he vanished and appeared again on the side of the stage! lol! Lyn-Z rocked her ass off and did "the bend" during Shut Me Up; then she freakin crowdsurfed lol! She did another massive backbend infront of Kitty's drums and she didnt even flinch! i was like OMG! MSI were a really good support i think, its not like theyre my fav band at all or anythin but i think they do a good show. But it was interesting to see the reaction from the rest of the MCR fans, they seemed to give the band a good reception.

We waited about 25mins ish whist the security dudes gave out water! they kept squirting us in the faces and then just laughing! the cheek! lol

Then the lights went off. total darkness. then this figure walked round to the drums and then i saw the unmistakable fro! TORO! and then i looked to the stairs to my left and saw Frank and Mikey walk up then. i thought 4 down, 1 to go! then i saw Gerard!!!!!!!!!!! He looked incredible! Mikey looks so awesome, im definately loving the long hair! i dont know how Frankie can see, his hair is so long! lol

The started with a new song called Stay! OMFG it was sensational! i loved it! Then they played This Is How I Disappear and when Gee sings "Go!" all these fireworks went off and i was like OMFG! then the whole place went crazy!!!! it was amazin!!!!

They played Dead, which rocked the socks right off of me and Mikey played bass so fuckin hard it was incredible! best bass player ive EVER seen! for me, no-one else comes close! and omg MIKEY WAY SMILED AT ME!!! Plus Gerard gave me a grin/smile and i could have died just right then!

Its hard to describe how i felt or how it was when it was happening because it's literally like fireworks going off in my brain! it's one of those, you had to be there to understand! The pinacle of the night was definately, wait for it,

they played HONEY AND HALOS!!!

 

that made my night, week, year, fuckin life!

Gerard was like "this is an old song" and i thought he would just mean something from Revenge but when they started with Honey i freaked and was like OMG OMG OMG!!!! it was sensational! one of my fav songs and ive heard it live!!! i just screamed and sang as loud as i could! Gerard's voice during Honey freakin blew me away! it was amazing! and Mikey's bass line: OMFG!!! I was speachless! He was literally 2 metres away from me, i couldn't get any closer and it was just the most incredible moment! nothing like it!

During Mama the stage literally looked like hell! it was soooo dark and red and with the heat in the pit! loads of people were passing out but at least where i was people moved and helped them. Only MCR fans rock that hard, people realy took care of each other where i was!

Another moment which took my breath away was when i heard the opening bars of Welcome To The Black Parade. If anyone knows me, you'll know how special and important this song is to me. When people started singing "When I Was A Young Boy......" i swear Gerard was actually drowned out. By far my favourite live song! When the song goes into the repeat of the first verse part with the marching band drum beat, i screamed my heart out singing along! When they song kicks in, everyone went crazy and wow it was phenomenal! The Chorus live is breathtaking! every single person there that night was singing their black lil hearts out and Mikey was just incredible during that song in particular! Frankie played like he was possessed!! ive never seen anyone play with such passion and wow, the fro was workin hard! Toro was damn amazin!!!! his leads were just awesome!

Famous Last Words was, again, sensational live! and Gerard's voice was incredible, its soooooo damn good! the crowd went crazy for the bit at the end and i almost lost my voice i was screamin so hard! There was flames and OMG it was so hot, i was like "how are the guys not passing out" the heat was so strong! You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison was amazing! the stage was doused in blue and Gerard did this lil speech thingy at the start, recorded of course!, and it was so awesome, Frankie damn went wild and Mikey's face said it all cos he just looked like he was playing with all his heart! He looked so comfortable being back and WOW we have missed him! He played like his life was depending on it and i was right in front of him and was just mesmerized!

Give 'Em Hell Kid was amazing because i Mikey was in front of me and then he started that sensational bass line and i was like "OMG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" One of the best live songs!

Halos freakin blew me away! i just went nuts and head banged my heart out! the crowd was crazy during that!! we all got pushed one way then another and i just didnt care anymore! Toro freakin excelled himself, the most amazin lead guitarist ive ever seen! Frank just went crazy! im not sure which song it was but he actually played whilst riding the amp; yes you read correct, riding it!

All the guys left the stage at one point after they'd also played I Don't Love You ( damn incredible! everyone was singing to the last verse bit and the chorus was so powerful!), House Of Wolves which was amazing!! everyone started jumping and the entire pit was leapin up and down!! lol noone could stand still during H.O.W!, they played Sleep during which i got loads of amazing piccies!! The chorus was just so powerful and at the end Gerard said " And You Can All Sleep Forever" i rather loved that part.

Teenagers started playing and we can totally give the people in the video a run for their money! we went insane!!! everyone was jumping and waving their arms and doing the air punch thing and the "all together now" part was just awesome! EVERYONE screamed that part and Gerard's voice was soooo awesomeness!! Ray blew me away with his solo! and Frankie was just amazing; he rocks soooo hard!!!!!!xD

WELL IT RAINS AND IT POURS WHEN YOUR OUT ON YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Sharpest Lives was AMAZIN!!! one of my fav live tracks and omfg it was incredible!!! i loved the bit with "lather the blood on your hand romeo!" Gerard's voice was brillaint!! I'm Not Okay started and i was literally like "AHHHHHH" the drummer who replaced Bob was so good too!! i was so impressed with how great he played!!!! TRUST ME was so awesome! i don't think a single soul didnt scream that line!!!! The drummer was awesome during Cemetery Drive, that song blows my mind! the 1st verse always makes me go crazy!! and they found you on the bathroom floor!!!

At one point during the show, not sure which song, but Gee held the mic to Mikey and he whistled into it!! LMFAO!! so awesome times!!!

The guys left the stage and all the lights went off and all you could hear was the guy on the keyboards playing this tune which turned into Cancer. The stage was so dark with this beam of light on the centre. Gerard appeared from the right, stage left, and dragged the mic stand back so you couldn't see his face at all. he began to sing and wow it was breathtaking. nothing like it. im always the same whenever i hear this song but especially live, so the tears started and i was just amazed at the power behinds Gee's voice and the sheer emotion in what he was singing.During the final line, he came forward and stood infront of the crowd in a moment where time stood still. nothing but this moment mattered. he walked back to the mic which he pulled forward and sang the last word of the song and wow, his voice was phenomenal. truly phenomenal.

Ray had taken to the steps to my left during the song, he put his arm through the legs of a roadie standing there ans grabbed his leg giving him a shock. i just glanced at him because for me, i couldn't take my eyes off Gerard during that song. Frank came back onto the stage and applauded Gerard and i duly obliged also. Mikey came back on and the guys were BACK!

Gerard gave a speech about how the won't be back for 2 years because i expect they need a good rest and need to prepare the new album! Judging by Stay, its looking incredible.

"Look at all these jewels & treasures. You're all my little treasures... my little gems & rubies. You're all my little rubies. I just wanna take you and polish you up real good & put you in the pocket of my tight pants..."

That was the words of the amazing Gerard Arthur Way! LMFAO! i couldnt resist not telling you all that he said it! i was killing myself laughing! but my god, i love this dude! he is phenomenal! so inspiring i could never possinly write how much!

They played Helena and the opening verse was so amazing!!! they entire crowd was joinin! The chorus was sensational and everyone went fuckin crazy!!! Frankie and Mikey who were just there, right there ^__^ in front of me and they played their hearts out!!!! so incredible!! the looks on their faces showed how much they believe in their music!! breathtaking!

They left the stage and i gave up on my poor feather boa! i got my ticket back and grabbed my bag from the front of the barrier and went out to the merch stand! i got a tour tee and bag which i adore!!! i had to get a drink cos i was so thirsty it was unreal! then we went outside and saw Steve from MSI, but i'd already met him so we decided to go round the back. I saw Lynnie and Sam again and Kirsty and was chatting with them for a while! then Emma's 'rents picked us up and dropped me off home and wow i just damn crashed. sooooo tired!

it was so worth it though! The best night of my life by far! MCRmy for life! MCR for life! im still excited from it! i have London on Wednesday to look forward too and its my birthday tomorrow! so yayness! but wow! MCR mde my fuckin life last night!!! MCR forever!! xoxoxo

MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE 9th October 2007

All the problems
Make me wanna go
Like a bad girl
Straight to video

Little darling
Welcome to the show
You're a failure
Played in stereo

So last night i saw Mindless Self Indulgence at Newcastle University Basement. OMFG. soooooooooooooo amazing!!! with the exception of MCR, it was the best gig of my life!!!!!!!

so i got the metro at 5:15ish and it was full of commuters and there i was: skinny black jeans, vans, stripy vest and hoodie....plus eccentric eye make up, glow sticks and a red stripe in my hair...lookin unique?? fuck yea!!!

so when i got to the uni it was raining and i went to the queue and met these 2 girls and we attempted to stay dry under this canopy thing which totally didnt work so they gave us bin liners to put over our heads...yea bin liners!!! lol so there was only abt 8 peole ahead of us in the line and we felt ever so priveledged to get bin liners!!! lol

then it took forever for it to reach 7:30 and at abt quarter past 7 i was sooooooooooooo hyper!!!!! i had to check i still had my "HIP LIKE BADASS" written across my chest...unsmudged!!! indeedy it wasnt!!!

so they let us in at just after 7:30 and we ran to the barrier and then i went to the merch stand and got these two amazing MSI tees!! then Rachel pulled my back to the barrier while she went to see the merch!! the support band were called Scanners and they were really good except as part of their stage set up they had these two t.v. sets with fuzzy screens which were fuckin our eyes up!! lol!! then i got a bit bored so started to write on my arm...Gee style...and i still have a HUGE "Lyn-Z" on my forearm and "Stupid MF" on my wrist...the rest has come off!! lol

Goodbye 1989
I wanna be the one in control
Rock my white shoes, polo tie
The next big thing for five years running

Then at about 8:45ish, Mindless Self Indulgence took to the stage!!!! Kitty appeared first and they removed this cover from her drum kit which had pics of little kittens on it. sooo cute. kitties for kitty!!! then Steve Righ' came out onto my left. Next Lyn-Z emerged, hair in bunches, bass on hip, and OMFG she totally rox!! then Lil Jimmy Urine came out, with his famous "AS SEEN ON TV" jacket, walkin like an old man with a cane which he then twisted round and threw to the floor!!

MSI live are sooooooo incredible!!! Shut Me Up was the second song and OMFG!!!!!!! i had been warned that the place would go mad for it but here everyone went freakin insane!!!!!!!!!! Lyn-Z did her amazing back bend where she was still playing her bass but bent back so her head was almost touching the floor!! AMAZIN!! then she put her back to the floor and slid across the stage whilst Steve took her vacant position on the other side!!! then she got up still playin bass and wow she is soooo incredible!!!! and during Stupif MF she wore this awesome pirates hat!!! this was before she staged dived and hung from the lights!!! omg this woman is soooo amazin!!! she totally rocks!!

I got soooo many pics...which i need to post!! plus Steve threw this plectrum into the crowd but it fell down beside the barrier and this really nice security girl who had put our shit under the barrier picked it up and gave it to me!!!!!!!!!!!!! yyaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!! then i saw this piece of tape that Jimmy had had on his eyes and Rachel told me to lean and get it cos i was the closest, so i did and i shoved it into my pocket!!!!

Should I talk slower like you're a retard
Should I talk slower like you're retarded

Then Jimmy had us all boo cos we should "after all those shitty Panic! At The Disco records you guys bought"...lol...his words not mine...perhaps Brendon and the boys shouldnt really have ran offstage when Brendon got hit with a plastic bottle at last year's Reading and Leeds festival....not much cred with the crowd it seemed...anyways...

Shut Me Up live is amazing as is 1989 and Stupid MF but for me "Straight To Video" was incredible!!!! Jimmy saying that "this is the one you've all been waiting for"...sooooo true!!!!! he then proceeded to inform us of a description of an encore where the band leave the stage and go to their tour bus for cocaine and whores...only to return once the coke had run out and the whores all had S.T.Ds cos apparently there was a band playin inside!! sooooo funny!!!then they wud continue with the encore lol!! THATS AN ENCORE!!!

Plus i reached out and grabbed Jimmy's hand...soooo amazin but damn those guys were sweaty onstage and i played Steve's guitar when he leaned into the crowd!! ha ha i just went for the strings lol!!

it was soooooooooo amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! apart from MCR, best gig of my life!!! then the really omg omg omg stuff happened!!!

The bass, the rock
The mic, the treble
I like my coffee black
Just like my metal

After the show, Jimmy came and and Steve so i went to Steve and got his autograph and a piccy and he asked where was best to live around he and i was like "Sunderland" and he said he had family in Watford and we ended up talking about Elton John!!! lol

Then i went to Kitty who had just come out and got her autograph and a piccy and i gave her my glow in the dark neclases..not the shitty glow sticks...my treasured chains!!! and she took them!!!:D shes sooo amazing!!

then i went to Jimmy and got his autograph and he called me Lois Lane cos my note pad was HUGE...lol...my Nightmare Before Christmas one!!! lol!! then i got a piccy with him too!!! then i went to the merch stand and got the support bands CD and they signed it for me and i ended up chattin to the frontwoman about their next tour and she said they would hopefully be coming back to the North East at the end of the year!!!!

Then i went back to Kitty and asked her if MSI were officially supporting MCR in November and she said YES!!!!! yyyyyyaaaaaayyyy!!! sooooooo hyper!!!! and then we spent abt 4 mins talkin about drumming and i said how inspiring it is for a woman to be the drummer in a rock band and she told me to "stick at it"!!!!! she's sooooo lovely!! we talked about Projekt Revolution and i said i really wanted to go when i was in NYC and then she hugged me twice!!!! twice!!! :D and thanked me for coming out to see them!!!

then i looked up to the stage and OMFG!!! I SAW LYN-Z!!!!!!!!! she was walkin across and down the side of the stage and i was the first person to go up to her when she came through the barrier and i asked her if i could give her something and she said "of course" and i gave her my chain with a plectrum on it and she said "thank you so much! this is so sweet! thank you for coming out" and i got her autograph and 2 pics with her and then i got one with Lyn-Z, Me and Jimmy Urine and he was asking her how the pirates hat was!! soooo funny!!!!

She is the nicest person and she was so kind!! and we had almost matching hoodies as they are both black but mine had purple stars and hers has purple guitars but i swear it was the same colour purple!!! and i gave her my fansite address and she told me how she was in internet exile "cos apparently people hate me and want to kill me" and i was like omg and we were all like "tell them look where i am now!" and she was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!! apart from Mikey, she is the best bass player i know!! soooooooooooo amazing!!!!!

then i left still sooooo hyper and i was literally bouncin down the road to the station humming Stupid MF!!! apart from MCR, the best gig of my life!!!cant wait for November to see them again!!!! Meeting Lyn-Z and talking to her and giving her my chain made my day, week, month, freakin year!!! she is so amazing and it meant the world to me!!!!!!!! :D

All We Know lyrics....quite significant at the moment

We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't.
We held the world out in our hands and you ran away.

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

Now we can follow you back home but we won't.
Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

You never, you never said
This wasn't what you wanted, was it? Was it?

This isn't what you wanted.
This isn't what you wanted.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

heaven help us now...come crashing down

when i die i hope i dont go to hell.

i hope i get into heaven. its almost like trying to bribe a guy at the stage door to give you a back stage pass, just so you can get in.         

but i hope heaven doesnt have cherubs and angels flying around and clouds because i hate that sort of stuff.       

i hope heaven is like earth and i hope that its dark and raining a storm outside.       

im already attracted to the dark side...lol           

a storm brings panic and fear out of people.          

most people are always afraid of something and it hides the real them.            

in a storm you have to trust people.         

people are scared and dont know what to do         

all sense of normality and safety disappear because all usual forms of communication are down and people have to trust who they are with.        

Storms bring out the honesty and a fearlessness in people.      

Everyone loses their fear and become one.      

i fit in during a storm.          

we all have to trust one another.          

 no one leaves anyone outside or behind in a storm.          

i love to walk in the rain.      

i love to dance in the puddles and feel my hair cling to my face.           

i love splashing about.           

i could stand in the rain all day.       

the thunder and lightning block out the usual sounds of traffic and bitching.             

i find peace in a storm.                 

i'd love to live in a storm.        

i hope heaven is a storm

xoxo

Mikey Way has left The Black Parade Tour....only temporarily though

Hey guys...just wanted to say how unbelievably awesome it it for the band to allow Mikey to temporarily leave The Black Parade World Tour in order to spend some quality time with his new wife, Alicia. I can understand how hard a decision it must have been but Mikey and Alicia definately deserve some time to enjoy being young, in love and married. I'm one of the lucky ones who got to see Mikey with the band perform on the tour when MCR came to the UK and they were amazing. Mikey will definately be missed but we know he'll soon be back killing it every night as the best bass player in the world.

So a final note; congratulations and ENJOY to Mikey and Alicia; A big "I'm Proud of You" to both Mikey and the rest of the band and just to never forget to keep on rocking!!!!

xoxo

This is the official message from Gerard:

Hey Guys,

We like to keep all of you in the loop because although you are fans we see you as our friends...

I'm very proud to announce my brother's recent marriage. Watching him grow up into a man and finding love makes me the happiest brother alive.

In light of this joyous event, the band has decided to give he and his wife a much needed break from the road to start a life and have a proper honeymoon and do all of the things a newlywed couple should do.

I know this is upsetting news, as it is for us, but we will continue to tour with a temporary replacement until he has situated himself in his new life.

We thank all of your for your love and support, and know you are all as happy for him as we are.

See you on the road,

Gerard

Fall Out Boy gig!!!!

So last night i went to see Fall Out Boy in Manchester!!!! i wasn't sure what to expect of them but they we're awesome!!!! Me and my friend travelled down yesterday and were stuck for 2 hours in traffic on the motorway because some oil tanker had caught fire...then at like 6pm were finally got past it and hit the gas to get to Manchester in time...

then we got lost on the way to the Apollo, so i had to run into this gas station and ask a really dodgy looking man directions...but this other man behind me said we were only round the corner from it and he directed us!!!

so we got to the apollo for like 7:15pm and got straight in, went to the bar for a bottle of water and then me and my friend slowly walked forward down towards the pit...shiny toy guns came on and the girl in the band was really good...she had an amazin voice...then at about 8:15pm cobra starship came on and they were actually better than i though they would be...the singer guy was really funny...he saw this person in the crowd with a doll of Joe Trohman and he thought it was him!!! he also got this girl up to sing the snakes on a plane song!!!

then it was about 9:35pm when Fall Out Boy came on and were all standing on this platform infront of Andy's drums...Pete and Joe came down the two ramps and Paddy came down these steps to the front and they played Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued!!!! it was awesome!!!! considering i didn't queue and was stuck in traffic for two hours, we got to like 10 rows (sort of) from the front!!! Pete Wentz was right in front of me!!!! he kept licking Joe and Paddy's guitars and his bass!!!!

i don't know how he wore a hoodie on stage...maybe it's a bass player thing because Mikey Way from MCR also wore a hoodie on stage when i saw then on The Black Parade tour!!! i was meltin in the mosh pit!!! i got soaked in water and beer!! lol!!!

When they played Sugar, We're Goin' Down, i phoned me friend Nicola and held my phone up for her to hear it!!!! Paddy's voice wa incredible!!!! i don't know how he does it!!!!

They played songs from Take This To Your Grave, From Under The Cork Tree and Infinity On High!!!! Before they played...Arms Race...Pete was saying how he love how the british swear and was fasinated by c*** and b****cks...then he said his fav. word was Goddamn!!! then he screamed "this ain't a scene it's a goddamn arms race"!!!!!!! the crowd went wild!!!

Some girls on the balcony screamed in between one song for Pete to take this top off...he said that none of the guys in the crowd would want to see that then said "Where are all the guys in the mosh pit???""...but Andy did play the entire set in only a pair of shorts!!!!!

Joe has grown a huge afro and had this unshaven look...but Pete still looked the best!!!! he had awesome hair!!! but it kinda got messed when he started to spin around with his bass...

My fav. songs that they did were Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Golden (which for the second verse, they added loads of guitar riffs), I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me, Dance Dance and Saturday!!! Saturday was the last song and near the end, Pete put down his bass, tore off his hoodie, grabbed Paddy's mike, dived into the mosh pit and began to sing the rest of the songs...he kept giggling as people ripped his t-shirt...you could see his awesome tattoos!!!!

we waited outside after the show til about 12:12am ...a whole hour and a half in the freezing cold...we saw them take in about 10 huge pizzas for the bands but then the roadie's and the security began taking all the stuff and laoding it onto the trucks and we were getting really cold so just came home...i already got a look off Pete Wentz during the show so i was content!!!!

It was a brilliant show...not as good as My Chemical Romance because they are my ultimate favouite band, but FOB was still amazing!!!! sooooo glad i went!!!! Pete and Paddy were awesome!!! joe was hilarious and andy just drummed away!!! pete and joe kept leaning towards the crowd getting them to sing along...it was brilliant...the best songs live were Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Dance Dance, Saturday and Arm Race...

My Chemical Romance 24th March 2007 MEN Arena Manchester

It was absolutely fucking incredible!!!!!

So here's the best day of my life:

Got to arena at about 6.30 and whilst walking across the orad to the stairs, i almost got knocked over by some nutter...it certainly didn't help my heart which was beating soooo fast...it felt as though it would rip out of my body...

Immediately joined the merch queue...my mate got stopped at the door to have her bag searched...i only had my ticket, phone and the parents credit card...all shoved in my pocket...we queued for about half an hour til we reached the entrance of the store...then i just got pushed to the front and got served immediately...i think i emptied the shop...i got my tour t-shirt and a hoodie...then i saw this arm band so bought that and immediately put it on... then...little did i know, but my friend had picked out another t-shirt and some badges and given them to me!!!! is she the best mate ever or what!!!!

so we practically fell out of the merch store and whilst strapping on our black parade arm bands, bought a bottle of water...then we made our way up to the seats...it was about 10 minutes before Thursday came on...

I spent the time laughing at some of the random messages on nthe big screen...for example..."i slept with a member of mcr and all i got was this stupid txt on a screen" or "scream if you think frank, mikey and gerard are hot" that was shortly followed by "scream if you think bob and ray are hot, there were missed out before"...

then the screen went off and then the lights went off as thursday came on...i had no idea how incredible a front man Geoff Rickley is...i never realized how amazing Thursday are...especially live....At This Velocity and Jet Black New Year were the best!!!!!! Geoff Rickly, in between bouncing around then entire stage, dedicated the Jet Black New Year to Gerard and Mikey... earlier he had said "about 7 or 8 years ago i first met two guys called Gerard and Mikey Way who told me that they wanted to started a band called My Chemical  Romance and they never forgot their friends!!!!"..anyway..well done and thank you MCR for bringing such an awesome band on tour with you!!!!!!

Then at about 8.20 ish the lights came back on and so did the screen...then i phoned my friend at home to fill her in on what was goin on...

Then at 8.40 the screen went off again and so did the lights...then at 8.45 this hospital trolley was wheeled on stage with red and white flashing bars of lights...then we all heard the bleeping of a heart monitor and the opening bars of The End and this patient on the trolley began to sing "now come one come all to this tragic affair..." Gerard Way it was indeed...He then sat up and then stood up draped in this hospital gown, the sort terminally ill patients wear, from his neck to his ankles and to each wrist...then as Gerard sang "I'd encourage your smiles i'll expect you won't cry" he ripped off his gown to reveal the perfect Black Parade uniform and at the same time the curtain raised to reveal the band in full Black Parade uniforms... incredible...genius...

Then the band launched into Dead which got everyone moshing!!!!! even people in the seats were jumping around everywhere... it's such a fucking amazing song...the LA LA LA LAAA LAS were sensational!!!!! you could hardly hear Gerard because the crowd were singing so loud!!!!! 

Then came This Is How I Disappear...before which Gerard screamed "DO U LIKE TO DANCE MANCHESTER????" And everybody started rockin!!!! The chorus to this song is soooo fucking strong and everyone was screaming it like their lives depended on it!!!!

The Sharpest Lives followed which is one of my favourite songs on the album...and my God, did they do it justice...MCR rocked this little, black hearts out!!!

Then came the big one...from the very first of those 11 notes at the begining of Welcome To The Black Parade, you felt this sudden rush of energy...like a mexican wave of emotion running theough every single person there that night...as Gerard started singing you could hardly hear him because the crowd were singing their hearts out at the saviours of the broken, the beaten and the damned!!! It was one of the best moments of my life!!! Then all this confetti covered every inch of the arena...it reached the pit and the even the seats!!!!

I Don't Love You was awesome and you could sense this raw emotion there...so tragic but necesary... and it showed just how amazingly brutal this band is!!! Another amazing track was House Of Wolves, where Bob on his drum riser began to rotate!!!! it was awesome!!!!

Then one of my favourite moments of the night came...Cancer...Gerard talked a bit before the song about the t-shirts on sale in the merch store and the profits go to helping the fight against cancer...(i later went and bought one thanks to gerard bringing home the seriousness of the disease..) Frank picked up his acoustic, Ray took Mikey's bass and Mikey grabbed his tambourine and i felt even before the song began, my eyes started to glaze over and i could feel the emotion inside of me reaching the summit...when the very first word were song, i just began crying...i knew i would because i simply can not listen to that song superficially...it's so intense and intimate and the sadest song i think i have ever heard, but still one of the best...

Then one of my favourite songs from The Black Parade album began...the sound of bombs hitting the surface in a war zone...the incredible Mama...i love this song because it's sooo fucking brave for a band like My Chem to approach a song in this way and to ahev Liza Minelli on vocals is fucking genius...the pyrotechinics that night were sensational...the red lights covered the entire stage making the members of the band look liek fire balls...then the flames shot up into the air...a truly amazing moment...as the band launched into the chorus...fucking genius...Gerard sang Liza's part but did it in a womans voice and it was brilliant!!!! The roof could literally have been raised for the sheer ferocity of the noice created during this song...along with Welcome To The Black Parade...

Sleep was sooo eerie and it got under my skin...gerard's voice at the begining when it's distorted is simply chilling...then all these sparks cascaded down over the band's heads...it looked beautiful and was so spectacular!!!!

I personally loved Teenagers that night because Gerard said "tonight we have here the United Kingdom's greatest weapon...you guys" It felt like a giant fuck you to all the haters, the doubters and those who are big enough fuckers to try to control us!!!!! MCR unleased this demon in every single teenager in that arena and it was incredible to see so many people fighting for the same cause!!!

Then one of the greatest moments of the show...the ultimate never-gonna kill me song...Famous Last Words...it was the pinnacle of everything The Black Parade meant to the band, to me and to every other single person in that arena!!!! Sheer brilliance...one of the proudest and most meaningful moments of my entire life!!!!

Gerard also said at one point "You guys love us, You guys love The Black Parade" and he could not have been closer to the truth...that is probably one of the most correct things i have ever heard!!!!

Then Gerard said "this isn't the end, there's more to come" and him and the band walked off the stage... they lights stayed off and they played Blood...it was brilliant!!!!!everyone sang along and drowned out Gerard's voice!!!! The set had been a recreation of the Welcome To The Black Parade video with the uniforms and the back drop...but when the band returned to the stage, everything was different...

We heard in the total darkness, the opening bars of I'm Not Okay and the curtain tore open to reveal My Chemical Romance...out of uniform in their own clothes without the make-up...with a huge backdrop that was a circle with a border of guns with a word in the middle...REVENGE

I'm Not Okay was amazing!!!! every single person there was jumping and screaming along with the band!!!!! Ray rocked his heart out!!!!! everyone in the arena screamed in unison "TRUST ME!!!!!!!!"

Then, one of my other highlights of the night was My Chem playing It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Death Wish" that is one of my favourite songs on Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge!!!! i'd never heard the band play it before and i couldn't believe it when they began to play it!!!!!! it was AWESOME!!!!!!!

Then came Cemetery Drive!!!! it was fucking INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! I think MCR played it better here than i'd ever heard it before!!!!! It was unbelievable!!!!! definately one of the songs you ahve to be there to understand it's greatness live!!!!

Another incredible highlight was The Ghost Of You...there was this single light shining on Gerard on the stage and he said "Why don't we lower the light? Or why not just kill it alltogether?" and then the entire arena was plunged into darkness...you couldn't see the band at all or any other people for that matter...i gazed across at the other stand and couldn't even make out any people...it was amazing...22,0000 fans fell silent for that one voice of Mr. Gerard Way to shout out to the crowd "GET YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONES AND LIGHTERS OUT AND WAVE THEM IN THE AIR" So i duly obliged and held aloft my phone with the MCR wallpaper!!!!! It was a sight i can not describe...the sight of so many people swaying in unisom with these white and blue lights illuminating the arena up...the emotion welled up inside of me again..i didn't cry...almost did though...it was simlpy beautiful...so many people believing in the same cause!!!!! Gerard's voice was unbelievable during this song!!!! He reached notes that can not be comprehended unless you were there!!!!!

Of of my favourite songs from Revenge is Give 'Em Hell Kid...and it was one of the best songs on the night!!!! This single red light lit up Mikey Way as he began to play the bass line at the begining of the song...and then the whole band launched into it...i'd forgotten how much Mikey Way is undoubtedly the world's greatest bass player!!!!! God, how we love him and his amazing Brothers on the stage with him...

As soon as we heard those blasting riffs at the begining of the song....each person in the MEN immediately leaped up and started moshing....THANK YOU FOR THE VENOM!!!!!! A genius MCR song!!!! Frank rocked his absolute heart out!!!!! I've never seen someone play with soooo much heart and passion and God damn energy as Frank!!!!!! He was awesome!!!!! Earlier in the night he had stage dived and was down by the crowd!!!! It was madnesss!!!!!! Genius madness!!!!! Gerard did that in the show too!!!!!!!!! It was pure brilliance!!!!!!!!! The crowd went wild for the band during this song!!!!!!!!!! it was incredible to be amongst so many people believing in the same things that i do!!!!

You can not have a My Chemical Romance concert without playing the sensational You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison...it was MCR rocking their black, little hearts out for a cause they believed in and having 22,000 screaming fans behind them, supporting them all the way!!!!!!!!

But one of the ultimate performances was the final song...the out of this world, incredible HELENA!!!!!!!! It was My Chemical Romance playing one of greatest rock songs ever written... the crowd went crazy during that song as every single guy in My Chemical Romance...the geniuses who are Gerard, Mikey, Frank, Bob and Ray...played as though their lives depended on it!!!!!! It've never seen a band play with their hearts so much and the connection with the fans was unreal...it was as though not five guys were playing but every single member of the My Chemical Romance army were joining together in the crowd and joining the band as one...this song united every person there that night and, in my opinion, i've never heard My Chemical Romance play Helena better...they were incredible!!!!! Absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD.... i could not have imagined it would be this good....i never thought for one second, MCR would effect every single person there in the way they did...we were all one....the fans and the band as one...

The greatest night of the my life...i'm forever grateful to My Chemical Romance for the most kick-ass, amazing concert of my wildest, fucking dreams!!!!!!!!

Don't know what to wear....

Well today i had a disastrous maths exam!!!!!! I know i failed it because you know when you talk to people after and what they said they had written down was nothing like what you had done... well that was me at lunchtime!!!!!

To be honest, i couldn't care less because it wasn't a formal exam... just an assessment!!!!!!!!!! Yet, i've started acting really studious lately... i've signed up for loads of things... don't even know what some of them are... I've gotta go and see my friend in Grease next week so that should be go tho!!!!! I've tried to decide today what to wear to go and see My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy... probably converses on the feet but don't know what else... might shop online tomorrow to see if i can find anything good!!!!! MCR is fine... i think i know what i'm gonna wear there but i have no idea for FOB...

Saw a rainbow today... it lasted a whole 2 minutes... kinda ironic don't ya think...

I Don't Love You video!!!!!!!!!!

So today, i'm on a total Misfits kick!!!!! I can not stop playing Last Caress!!!!! It's an amazing song!!!! I've been searching for pics of Glenn Danzig... found some really cool ones... must remember to add them to my photos... so today i got some exam results back... did quite well considering i didn't revise at all!!!! I'm currently searching my bag and typing at the same time... if i can find the piece of paper with my results on i'll write them on here...

My hand seems to have gotten stuck between my iPod and my calculator... can't get it out!!!!!!!!

Nearly zapped off my hand earlier today with a laser machine... attempting to pierce plastic as part of my Product Design coursework but put my hand into the machine when it was still working... it didn't touch me though!!!!!!!! Thank God...

i've got a maths assessment tomorrow so should really be revising but the combination of itunes, youtube and buzznet was too much to resist!!!!!!!!!!!

I stayed up last night to see the first playing of My Chemical Romance's new video for I Don't Love You...and it was worth every second... every nano-second... you should really get onto youtube or something and check it out... Gerard's performance was incredible... i mean, absolutely breath-taking... i can't wait til i see them on their Black Parade tour!!!!!!! Every member of the band palyed their hearts out and, oh my gosh, do they rock????? I'm considering growing my hair which is kinda like Frank Iero's but longer and thicker into a 'fro like Ray Toro!!!!! That guy is a guitar genius... and Mikey Way is undoubtedly the BEST bass player on earth!!!!!! I can't wait til the Black Parade arrives in the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two weeks on Saturday!!!!!!!!!

Must dash now... have loads of work to do!!!!!!!!!

xoxo

New Journal for me!!!!!

So this is a new journal for me... don't really know what to say... i'm addicted to youtube though and must put some videos on here...if i don't forget to...

I can't really stay too long... i've got loads of coursework to do and a maths exam on friday to revise for... i'm soooo screwed but i've got to give it a go anyway... God knows why i took a-level maths but i also took Product Design and you need both if you wanna do design as a career...you can almost hear R.I.S.D. calling my name... not...lol!!!!! it would be pretty awesome to go there though...if i was able to... move to anpther country...in another continent... at the ripe old age of...18!!!!!! i must be crazy!!!!

Must dash right now but am sure i will return!!!!
