I have had the most wonderful time enjoying all the England gigs, bar cardiff. I would like to say all the killjoys I met of every age were awesome, bar one. The gigs were expectional, my favourite I beleive was glasgow, the whole band looked to have more fun on that one, especially the end, the drum solo, watching the boys laughing so much was the best ever.

The only negative was one dude seems to think MCR are only for young people, well I dont agree, lots of older fans were at these gigs all enjoying their personal love for the band. My husband is 37 and are several of my friends, Im older, yet have befriended lots of younger fans of 15 year old killjoys, who Im thrilled to now be freinds with. Im even teaching my very young grand daughter the joys of MCR. Its really sad Im now getting hate mail from this particular man, to a point Ive had to contact the police,.
Music I believe is for all ages to enjoy.

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble from one person! I don't really understand where that sort of attitude comes from! There is no age limit to music!

And you're an inspiration to me now, its nice to see that as I get older the number of gigs I go to doesn't have to dwindle away! People already think I'm mad for going to 2 shows in as many weeks, I'm only 25, why wouldn't I be going out and having fun?! (Off on a tangent a bit there)

I like there being a mix of ages at MCR, my Dad has come with me a couple of times, he loves them, and a mate often brings her mum too. And my Dad usually lasts a lot longer in the thick of the crowd than I do. (Though he's not dancing like I am!)

Yes, my mistake Cardiff is in Wales, my apologies.

Thank you Firegarder I agree, there was a very mixed age group at the shows, some people older than me, which pleased me. Surely the more people who support the band the better, Im sure they would agree.

The number of gigs you go to doesn't have to dwindle away and I hope to go to many more.

If I was in a band myself I'd definately be pleased that my music was reaching a wider range of people.

I think I just got worried after I left college/uni, I could go to as many as I liked during that time (and went to a ridiculous amount), but is harder fitting them in around boring old work now, especially as I don't really live near any regularly used venues!

no probs

sorry if I sounded a little aggressive when pointing that out, reading it over it sounds harsh, didn't mean it come across so bluntly
