I MET GERARD!! MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! MCRMY 4EVER

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!!!!!!!!
