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

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

This is the official message from Gerard:

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...
