I was flipping through Entertainment Weekly today and I saw a review for the Projekt Revolution tour (with My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Linkin Park and a whole bunch of other bands). The review basically says that My Chemical Romance totally stole the show from headliners Linkin Park.
There was one quote that really caught my eye. Shirley Halperin, the reviewer wrote:
“But, there’s something almost religious in witnessing the Church of Gerard Way taking it to 11 when, like Linkin, the band could have easily coasted at 7.5 or so.”
I totally agree. After witnessing MCR in Denver during the Black Parade tour, I found myself thinking the same thing. There is something religious about seeing all these kids totally moved by this band and hanging on every word Gerard says. It’s very cultish, but in a good way… if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I love this band and I think they’re amazing live, so when I saw someone else who thinks so too, I had to post it.
