This is my extremly long story of what happened for me. XD
Im serious it's long, sorry. ^-^'
Okay, as alot of people know, My Chemical Romance is my favorite band.
I just saw them last night, April 14, 2007.
We showed up at Reliant Arena I think, at about 3:00.
When we got there, about 50 people were standing outside, and some were singing
'Helena' It was cool watching people show up wearing Black Parade uniforms and make-up.
About 2 and a half hours of waiting we decided to go for a bathroom, (a disgusting porta potty on the other side of the parking lot *shudders*) and while walking over, the wind began to pick up and it was freezing cold (even through a hoodie) and it felt like we were being pushed. By the time we began walking back, a cart parted through the crowd being followed by a bus. We stood for a moment watching it pass and eventually began following it. It stopped around the corner were we waited for about 20 minutes to see who was in it.
There were two other girls, a woman, and a boy waiting as well.
Eventually the band Muse walked out and crossed over to the door,
I was the only one waving and squealing like an idiot while the band just walked by, only bothering to look, much less wave back (heaven forbid they waste energy to at least wave or smile or acknowledge our existance) but it was interesting none the less.
Eventually mum called and said for us to come back.
Of course I ran around saying that Muse came out of the bus. XD
We stood in the cold for a while and the wind began picking up again, this time it was blowing sand into our faces.
I got bored and sang 'Little boxes' and eventually I sang the telletubbies theme song (Yes I do know it. XD)
The doors opened at about seven (by this time the crowd had grown considerably)
and they checked each person for weapons or cameras and all the good shit.
My camera phone died so that sucked.
As soon as I got inside me and my friend rushed into the GA floor were we were yelled at to stop running. >_< And I took the spot behind two incredibly tall boys because Im smart like that.
We were in the fifth or sixth row.
There were even more people crowding up behind us and I realized that I was standing behind three tall boys and one man, I could barely see the drum kit.
So I thought of the next best thing and hung my head were I began to cry.
Im so smart lol.
The tallest one felt bad I guess and let me in his spot, while he stood behind the one that was slightly shorter and the shortest one stood in front of him.
It was interesting seeing that lol.
I was in the fourth row by then and I was trying to keep my mum and Bree close behind but that wouldnt work.
We stood around for about 30 minutes before Muse stepped on stage and began playing,
a beautiful display of stobe lights followed thier music.
They were suprisingly amazing and for some odd reason the way the light shined on the singer and the way some air blew his hair around, also the way he sang, he just seemed so angelic, it was wierd.
The bassist had a lovley voice too, it was all just perfect.
I really want to go buy thier newest album now.
They eventually left the stage without really saying anything to the crowd during the whole show but they were still amazing.
We waited for another 40 minutes whilst I had pushed through to the second row and the whole crowd pushed as well, and there wasnt even a band playing. During Muse they had been pushing as well and my mother reached through some people to tap on my shoulder and motion for me to come back but I was too close to go back so I just shook my head and swayed with the crowd to the music. At times the crowd pushed us into eachother and I was determined to stay were I was so I diddnt let my feet move unless I absolutly needed to. When the crowd did push, you could feel everybody that was beside you shoving into you, like Bree said 'I dont think my ribs are supposed to bend that way...'
And they ARENT!!! O_O
I hate feeling another persons elbow shoving into my sides, but again I was determined to remain in front.
My mother had left during the Muse show and I Bree wanted out as well so a guard pulled her out. So I was all alone. *sniffle* The crowd became consticting and there were times I couldnt breath so I would just face upwards and attempt to breath steadily and people kept spraying me with water and asking if I was okay.
It was all painful but I wanted to stay. Everytime it was unbearable I just screamed into the person's back that was infront of me.
There were some people attempting to push past me and I just simply pushed back and claimed that the crowd was pushing, eventually one of the blondes pushed past me and her shoulder ended up in my chest.


And so the big moment came.
The lights went dim and the crowd began to roar, at times chanting 'MCR' I tried to chant too but I only managed a couple of times before I needed more air.
I was pretty much gasping for it between words.
The sound of a heart rate machine began (I forget what they're called ^-^') and
a man pushed a gurney out on stage.

And there was Gerard Way.

He sat began to sing 'The End' into his mic as he sat up, sliding off the gurney.
The curtains opened after the first half of the song and he ripped away his hospital gown while the rest of the band stepped onto the stage as well, Mikey stood right before us, his hair sticking up and his face painted white.
I looked over and looked for Ray who was barely visible and then I glanced back at where Frank usually stood.
I was in shock.
Frank stood playing, and I diddnt even recognize him.
I thought that Cortez was still in his spot and my heart felt empty for a moment.
I diddnt realize it was Frank until he turned to face the crowd.
He was much skinnier and his hair was longer, thats probably why I diddnt know who he was. I think that the food poisoning was to blame for the weight loss. Oh and his eyes were a redish brownish hazelish color. O.o It was odd but I DONT CARE!!!
Tears had already began streaming down my face as the realization that My Chemical Romance was standing right in front of me.
The song eventually ended and 'Dead!'
Started, again, I cried and reached for the band, screaming to every single word no matter how painfully I was being crushed.
The song ended and Gerard covered his ears as a cannon went off.
Eveybody screamed and I did too, my throat already sore from screaming 'DEAD!'
at the top of my lungs when the song ended.
Gerard realized that the crowd was shoving and people were falling so he stepped forward and began yelling for everybody to back up, 'I AM NOT THAT PRETTY!'
he yelled. He finished off by telling people to pick everybody that fell down up.
And the rest of the set went by in order.
The crowd pushed and shoved and I held my ground, still screaming along also screaming in pain, the tears stayed from the pain and the happiness that this amazing band was right infront of me.
I know this is said by everybody,
but during 'House of wolves' I was reaching for Gerard, bawling and screaming along, and
He looked right at me, I couldnt sing along to the line he was singing 'you play ring around the ambulence' for three seconds. O.o
THREE FUCKING SECONDS. Gerard Way was looking directly at me, I swear. I couldnt breath, I just stared right back at him, wide eyed and still crying, only then did I realize how beautiful he really was, even though he looked slightly dangerous. O.o
'Welcome to the black parade' started and the whole crowd sang along to the beggining,
then the main part started and the crowd began again, I remained in the second row, screaming along as my lungs felt like bursting and my brain felt like it was going to ooze out of my eye sockets.
The end of the song came and confetti rained down, sticking to all of the sweat on our faces and arms, some even getting in our mouths.
The rest of the set played and I was shoved around, my feet only left the slight rise to the barrier once or twice, the crowd surfers coming behind us and the hair of the girl infront of me getting stuck in my mouth while I still sang.
I was unable to take it out because my arms were pinned to my sides and if they werent they were reaching for the band and unable to reach for my face.
He stopped and gave his speeches about Cancer and everything, Frank stood beside him while he spoke, motioning for everybody to listen to Gerard.
HOW DOES HE EXPECT US TO DO THAT?! lol
I was sitting there listening to Gerard but gawking at the rest of the band.
So cancer starts, I cried. O.o
Then Mama, that was awsome lol, I screamed 'MAMA' over and over again at the end, that was fun. Tehee. XD
And Sleep, oh god did I cry. >_<
And Teenagers!!!
Whoot! That was really fun! ^o^
I did the hand gun thing, that was one song I could really relate to lol. Disenchanted made me cry, alot.
And Famous last words, when the chorus began I was starting to recover from crying only to start again. >_<
The flames were beautiful. :]
And at the end the band walked off the stage and the curtain closed, and Blood started. Tehee that was so cool, the crowd had calmed down and everybody was swaying happily while we sang along.
Everybody around me was like 'Yeah I saw you crying,'
Then I realized that I cried the whole fucking time lol. XD
My throat hurt and it was wierd to talk.
A bunch of people began leaving and we stood there for about 20 minutes.
The band came back out, 'Now time for somthing completly different,' Gerard called.
Bob and Ray were wearing pants and plain black T-shirts,
Gerard was looking a bit like the old him in a leather jacket,
Mikey wore a 'Dawn of the dead' shirt. (I actually stared long enough to read it) and Frank wore a white 'The church of Godzilla'
shirt, XD It was cool. The backdrop had the Ring O'fire logo on it and the band began playing Im not Okay.
And my favorite part of that song was screaming
'TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK!' At the top of my lungs.
Mikey walked over and took a mouthful of water, then spat it into the crowd. Most of it landed on the girl's face that was standing in front of me and a few drops landed on my left hand.
While she was standing there sqealing in delight I was gawking in horror at my hand, I dont like spit. ^-^'
I dont care who's it was, it was Mikey's germs on my hand. TT_TT
They played a few more songs and then You Know what they do to guys like us in prison started, I turned arounf for one split second to see the crowd only to see a crowd surfer right there.
I diddnt have time to lift her up so she landed on my head,
I felt somthing crack and I ducked into the crowd, holding my neck and suprisingly still singing.
I stood up and listened to the rest of the set, screaming and crying as usual, sceaming even louder when they played Cemetery drive.
Frank jumped off the stage and sat on the edge of the crowd, all of the pressure to the right of me let up as the crowd shifted towards him. I'll admit that I was one of the people pushing towards him screaming as the crowd pulled him onto his back before he escaped and crawled back onstage.
Oh, and he has what looks like Frankenstien and I cobra tattooed on his arm lol.
Helena started and I did all of the hand motions Gerard did in the video. (Yes I do have them memorized)
The show was finally over and the band walked off the stage.
The crowd began to leave and a few people scatterd about looking for thier belongings. I stood in the middle, gazing up at the backdrop as more tears went down my face. I diddnt ever want it to be over, I diddnt want to leave.
Mum came and got me and we ended up in the lobby, mum got locked outside because the gaurds wouldnt let her back in after she went out.
She apperently was out there with a bunch of other parents complaining that thier kids were still inside.
Me and Bree stood in the line for an hour to get shirts and everything, we talked with a woman in line who seemed to be impressed that I stayed in front the whole time and that my mother was with us and eveything.
Overall it was an amazing night.
We got back to my grandparent's house and sat around talking for a while, and we eventually went to bed.
The next morning I went down stairs, I was greeted with a 'good morning' and then I was asked how the show was, when I opened my mouth to speak all there was was pain and a croaking noise.
My throat hurts a little right now, so do my ribs and so does my neck.
I stood for close to eight hours straight,
we starved and thirsted for 11 hours.
But again, it was all worth it.

I love My Chemical Romance. XD

Wow, that video brings back great memories! I was right there, right there! I remember being able to breathe again after people backed up. Sigh . . .

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned Frankie's stunt during I'm Not Okay. I was like, WTF does he think he's doing?

And what about the big balloons they released at the end of Muse's performance? Did anyone see what happened to those?

Yeah, when he jumped in the crowd. I was all nervous for him thinking he was going to get murdered. But he was grinning and still playing the guitar the whole time. Classic!
