With the audience sufficiently charged, My Chemical Romance took the stage to roaring applause. Kicking off with popular hit “Thank You For The Venom,” lead singer Gerard Way used his unique stage presence to excite the crowd. Mixing a feminine demeanor with masculine, boisterous guitar riffs, Way never failed to excite the crowd and promote participation.
Ordering the crowd to form a mosh pit and discussing personal issues on stage, Way was a prototype for rockers searching to connect to every member of his audience. The loud, aggressive sound My Chemical Romance delivered was one where teen angst could be released through various cult-like chants accompanied with hitting one another (in a respectful manner) and hoisting people above one’s head and hurling them into the crowd.
The first half of My Chemical Romance’s set consisted of their hits “Helena” and “Ghost of You.” Also at the show, the band debuted a new song. The official release date was not disclosed. After playing for over an hour, My Chemical Romance concluded with smash summer hit “I’m Not Okay (I Promise).”
