My Chemical Romance Explode-Start European Tour in London

Through the live-tweeting of Kerrang! Magazine and fans at the show, MCR followers from all over the world were able to get a glimpse of My Chemical Romance's comeback show at London's Hammersmith Apollo tonight.






According to Kerrang!, the band's setlist was as follows:

"Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)"
"Thank You For The Venom"
"Dead!"
"Cemetery Drive"
"Planetary (GO!)"
"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"
"Give 'Em Hell, Kid"
"Our Lady Of Sorrows"*
"I Don't Love You"
"You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison"
"The Only Hope For Me Is You"
"Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us"*
"This Is How I Disappear"
"Welcome To The Black Parade"
"Helena"
"Mama"
"Teenagers"
"The Ghost Of You"
"Famous Last Words"
"Sleep"
"Cancer"
-ENCORE-
"The Kids From Yesterday"*

*Gerard Way had hinted that they would play "The Kids From Yesterday and Bullets songs in an interview today.

Kerrang! tweeted that Gerard Way's thanks to the crowd before "Cancer" was: "London thank you so much. We are really excited about this record, but we're more excited about the next 10 years of this band."

Filling out the sound on drums was The Bled's Michael Pedicone. Pedicone raised suspicions of his playing for MCR with tweets from London throughout the day. Including one that read: "London, Ye hath been warned..."

After the show, Pedicone had this to say about the crowd's reception of him: "Best show ever, London thank you so much for the warm welcome as well as all you mcrmy and killjoys. Yall are the downest posse!"

From fan accounts, I have gathered that the number of fans who camped outside for the show exceeded 50 by 4 a.m. UK time. Fans are already waiting for the band's show tomorrow in Manchester, and many are making their exodus straight from the Hammersmith Apollo to Manchester's O2 Apollo right now.

Have fun, Killjoys!

OH MY GOD I am so happy they're playing Bullets stuff again. If and when they come to Indiana (or surrounding areas) they had better play some Bullets stuff. For serious.

My Chemical Romance Mystery Twitter Accounts

Image
Shortly after the cryptic change of My Chemical Romance's website, a strange Twitter account called "Dr. Death Defying" appeared. It was followed by only NewsAGoGo and a friend of the band when it reached out mysteriously to one fan, who tipped everyone off. It was later followed (then subsequently unfollowed) by both Ray Toro and Frank Iero. Things got weird. Here's how it's going down so far... September 3, 2010 Dr. Death Defying : Look alive sunshine. Shits all fucked up in the zones. Dr. Death Defying : Words are gasoline, motorbabies Dr. Death Defying : @thankthevenom Look alive... Dr. Death Defying : @thesnackfairy There are more pills produced in Battery City than grains of sand in Zone 4. -- NewsAGoGo : complete blackout. generators on stand-by. noise outside. screaming. static. sounds like...like, robots dying... -- Dr. Death Defying : @thatkkbitch Answer: Popping nitros near Wolfblood Beach will break more than your heart, it'll ...

Dear Bob Bryar: In Honor of Dixie

Image
"I don't even know what happened to my best friend and miss her more than anything in the world," Bryar tells PEOPLE. "The devastation I feel is beyond words." Source: People[dot]com According to People[dot]com, My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar recently received a devastating shock when, a week after sending his German Shepard mix companion to a trainer, he received her cremated remains without a clear explanation for the dog's death. The drummer is filing a lawsuit against the trainer, who has changed the story of Dixie's death multiple times and who acted without Bryar's permission to cremate her. My Chemical Romance fans are well-aware of how much Dixie meant to Bob, and some of us even became personally attached after his blog series and frequent twitter updates in which he shared stories of their drive across the country together to get home. Bob rescued Dixie from a Southern shelter, inspiring her well-fitting name and, from what we have s...
