They played Vampires Will Never Hurt You. My all-time favorite song of theirs. THEY PLAYED VAMPIRES, PEOPLE.

(This is kind of a big deal, since they hadn't performed that song live for ... I think since the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge era. I had never seen this song performed before.)

Other high points: They played my favorite song off Revenge (Thank You For The Venom), and one of my favorites from Danger Days (DESTROYA). Also, all of the entire band remains ridiculously pretty and adorkable.

I am really, really glad I thought ahead and wore cry-proof eyeliner and mascara. I expected to get choked up and teary during Helena and Cancer (which they always perform live); I did not expect to really cry and almost start sobbing. (For those who don't follow MCR, Helena is the song about the death of Gerard and Mikey's grandmother, and Cancer is about exactly what the title says.) Both songs have always affected me strongly, but even moreso now, for obvious reasons. (Let me put it this way: I pulled both songs from my iPod in January. I'll eventually put them back on. Eventually.)

Pictures!


cass404, with her fantastic mask!


Me, with Big Hair. Washing that out tomorrow is going to be all sorts of fun.

TL;DR version: OH, BOYS. SO PRETTY! VAMPIRES! VAAAAAAMMMMPIIIIIIREEEES!

If they play Helena or Ghost of You in NYC, I will surely be sobbing. cry proof makeup is a brilliant idea.

I saw them about 3 months after my great aunt died and Helena & Welcome to the Black Parade had me in tears. Glad it was awesome. Now I'm looking forward to our show even more!

I'm seeing them a week from today -- and I've been so caught up in figuring out my travel logistics and packing list that I forgot I'm seeing them a week from today!!

Thank you for the reminder! *flails*

On a calmer note -- I've had some very cathartic moments at their shows, as well. They're so good at that, I sometimes wonder if we should be paying them for therapy, as well as merch. :)

OH I hope we get this setlist in Boston. VAMPIRES. VAMPIRES WILL NEVER HURT YOU!

I have seen them nine times now and twice in small venues and I am looking forward to this tour like you wouldn't believe. And oh yeah Vampire Money! With the Ballroom Blitz shout-outs at the beginning, even? And Teenagers? (um yeah I may have a thing for them doing glam rock, in case it's not OBVIOUS.)

If they don't do Vampires Will Never Hurt You on my date I will be consoled if they do Headfirst For Halos.

EEEE CAN'T WAIT.

Nice!

and I am glad that the first time you heard those songs, after pulling them from your ipod, was *live and in person*.

Music is a good thing. It's nice to see you smiling again.

You look amazing!
I really hope to see MCR when they come to Hollywood in May...I live in the Bay Area but it's totally worth the drive :)

Cancer always make me cry. It came on my ipod when I'd docked it in class one time, and I had to leave the room :/

Bulletproof Heart is one of my favorites off the new album!

wait but
