Vix, what a fantastic report. I so appreciate you writing it and I am so thrilled and happy you got to be at the show. One of my very favourite gigs of all time was seeing My Chemical Romance play at Night & Day in Manchester, another tiny music venue before the band were massive so I know how wonderful it would have felt for you to be there. I can't wait to hear the album and I hope he tours it so I can go see him live too (albeit the venues won't be as small lol). Thank you again for writing such a FABU report. UGH. I adore him.

I'm really glad you enjoyed reading it - I've never really written a report like this before, and my memory is pretty shocking at the best of times, so I was working from the random words and phrases I'd emailed myself before going to bed last night and trying to flesh out what I could remember from there. I wish I could have seen My Chem, but I'm in no way disappointed that this was the gig I got to see, it was incredible. He's got such presence and amazing energy, he really puts his heart and soul into everything. It really isn't hard to see how My Chem rose to be as huge as they were as quickly as they did with him at the forefront. I will keep everything crossed for you and hope he tours with the album ♥

URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *SOBS ON*

(to some pretty cool-sounding space-age track) <- so obviously Gerard Way oh my god u_u

-grinned and said, all kind of warm and sweet and genuine, "I missed you guys too." <- TRYING NOT TO CRY AT WORK NOW G WAYLT

Drugstore Perfume <- damnit.

"Man, these things are so hard to sing in. Do any of you follow me on Twitter?" <- WHAT A MORON WHY DO WE LIKE HIM

HESITANT ALIEN WITH A HAT ALMOST GETTING CHOKED BY A FEATHER BOA

"This song is about my psychic. She's called Maya. It's called Maya the Psychic." <- such original. much wow.

i love how you could tell that the songs weren't 'fixed'. i often wondered about this and couldn't quite put it into words. i'm glad he doesn't feel awkward on stage, that he's getting support and more importantly, that he's having fun again <3

Ugh Aya it was so wonderful ;____; I found a mag yesterday with a review of the show and it has some stuff I'd forgotten ( like that when he got the feathers, he said 'I'll wear it for you" to the girl ;lsdl;dsa ) and that I didn't see - he came out afterwards and spent like an hour and a half chatting/signing/taking photos, then got into his taxi, got to the end of the venue drive and got out again to carry on for another 20mins. And other stuff but I'm going to make you wait until I've scanned it so you can read the whole thing 8DD
