Tempe Music Festival review

so...Just got back from the Tempe Music Festival where My Chemical Romance performed....

This was my 1st concert going alone, but it wasn't all too bad since I met up with some friends there. We sat around a lot in the VIP area...we didn't start watching bands until Puddle of Mudd performed... the lead singer is funny as hell. There were some fangirls at the festival, and the lead singer told everyone to flick off Doug (the bassist), but no one would do it. So he told everyone to do Spirit Fingers (don't know why). Then he went on about how much he loves cheerleaders.... and he also went on about how he loves to plug it in (in guitars.........right....). Then for some reason he felt the need to tell everyone that he farted during Blurry. They also played my favorite song, Psycho...

Then I'm going to skip the fashion show that they did....because it was stupid and it wasn't a fashion show..

My Chemical Romance comes on stage and they start off with Im Not Okay, and continues with This is how I disappear, and Mama. Then in no particular order, they also played: Prison, Sharpest Lives, Dead!, House of Wolves, Cancer, Teenagers, Famous Last Words, I Don't Love You, Sleep, Kill All your friends, My Way Home is through you, Welcome to the Black Parade, Give em Hell Kid and I think I am missing 1...

During Teenagers, 2 of the crew members came out to play with MCR, 1 playing the harmonica, and the other playing the cow bell. It was quite interesting.

Before they played Cancer, James Dewees sang while he was playing the keyboard...what he was singing....I'm  not too sure....and Gerard continued the song...

Gerard started making fun of Mikey and Ray because they cut themselves. "Go figure, the two guys that come with their own shirts" is what Gee said..... so let me go into detail about their shirts.....Ray had a shirt that said Toro on the top, and on the center of the shirt, it was a sillouette of him rocking out on the guitar...hair and all.... there was writing on the back but I couldn't read it... Mikey's shirt is plain and simple... "MIKEY FUCKIN WAY" in big white letters.

They left the stage...and about 1 minute later, they all come back out, and Gerard comes out smoking....kind of funny but sort of pathetic at the same time..it just reminded me of when the lead singer of HIM did that... so yeah, he has picked up smoking again... they closed the concert with Helena and Bob had to wait for Gerard to finish his smoke before they could begin...haha

They also confirmed that this is the last tour before they take a break, and that they will be recording a new album next year, but of course...no release date yet. Gerard also said that he was feeling Fergilicious (because Fergie is headlining the festival tomorrow).

During Cancer, I found it rather funny that the only part that Gerard did not sing was "know that I will never marry." Interesting? I think so!
