CONCERT
I'm going to a My Chemical Romance concert in a couple days. Can anyone tell me who's been to one of these concerts what happened to them and what to expect? Also, how many songs do they usually play, do they usually have merch. stores and is it easy to work your way to the front of the crowd? Thanks! I'll rate 5s for good answers!

Well, first off congradulations you are in for an amazing show. MCR is great live. I would tell you they play "Helena" first and "I'm not okay" last. And then they play pretty much their entire album. And Gerard is going to stop in the middle of the show and give a big speech about guys and something to do with them. But, I won't tell you what he says cause it will ruin it. But, Mcr is great live and your up for an amazing show.

MCR is a great band live. I've seen them twice. The first time I saw them was at a pathetic little venue here in town. This was before they got really popular. I imagine when you see them, it'll be more like the 2nd time I saw them; huge stadium-type place, lots of 13 year-old teeny boppers who think they're hardcore because they wear black eyeliner and write mediocre teenage poetry. . . so expect a bunch of kids to run around and shriek "GERARD! GERARD!" It is easy to work your way to the front of the stage, but you have to be persistant and aggressive. PUSH people. Good luck.

I attended the concert in St. Louis. Reggie and the Full Effect is the first band to play. They're really good - and James Dewees is very good with interacting with the crowd. A nice show, and you start to feel that concert adrenaline going. After about a 20 minute stage clean up and set up, Alkaline Trio plays. It gets a bit monotonous, so unless the place where you're standing is ABSOLUTELY amazing - if Reggie and the Full Effect are doing a meet-n-greet I suggest you go. Reggie's set was about a half hour, Alk3's set was about 45 minutes. After ANOTHER wait of clean up and set up...about 30 minutes, MCR plays. (No they don't open with Helena) thank god. As well as I remember they played all of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (minus maybe one or two songs) and Demoliton Lovers and Vampires will Never Hurt you off I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. They also play a new song off their upcoming album. At one point they say they're done - then they come back out after about five minutes and play for another 15 minutes or so. They've got TONS of merch - for all three bands and I strongly suggest you do not wait till the end of the concert to buy anything, it will take ages - ESPECIALLY for MCR merch. It wasn't easy at all to work your way to the front of the crowd at The Pageant - but it would be hard to tell at a diffrent venue/group of people. Don't count on it, though.
