My Chemical Romance

November 29, 2007

Last night I went to the My Chemical Romance concert with Richard and Troy. We were in "first barrier", which is the closest to the front. I wasn't at the front though. Not having been to a show before I didn't know what to expect really. The audience were quite subdued for the support acts, not that they weren't bad, I just people were saving their energy, and the acts didn't try to engage too much.

My Chemical Romance started, and the crowd got really into it, but were still well behaved. It was much more civilised than televised broadcasts of the Big Day Out are made out to be, it was more like any other rock concert. It probably helped that it was a single main act and most of the kids were under 18. There were lots of women there, and Troy said Richard made a much of man friends \seedy

Troy was being a party pooper during the support act and fiercely told me that "we do not clap", which I promptly ignored. After My Chemical Romance started it didn't matter that he wanted to rain on the parade, if he didn't have fun that was his prerogative, but he wasn't going to drag me down with himself anymore. It's so hard to get into anything with such strong clouds of conservatism and cynicism constantly hanging around you.

So that was my first (rock) concert, all-in-all a good time was had and I survived.
