MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE CONCERT -- 11 DECEMBER 2007 -- THE MAX PAVILLION @ SINGAPORE EXPO

my goodness! i had a blast last night at the concert! seriously! best one ever! the guys give it their all and the performance was just awesome! brilliant!

lemme recount back wat happened yesterday.

took half-day leave. rush to bestie's home to get her camera (thank u sooooooo much!). went back, rest. got ready. leave hm at abt 5pm. got to Pavillion roughly abt 5.45pm. waited alone...yes im alone! my friend whom im supposed to meet had earlier join the queue and she was way up front. couldnt join here coz the place was quite pack. so yeah..in the end i queue alone. met 2 nice girls and had a chat with them. the waiting time wasnt so bad. the doors open at 7pm so i have only abt an hr plus of waiting time. while waiting, some of the crowds upfront started screaming their heads off as if the band has appeared. this happened a couple of times and it amuses me.

7pm. doors open. so we, us who got those special jumpers (and might i say there were tons of ppl who receive these jumpers...it pisses me off!) were allowed to enter the concert hall 1st. we had to stop at the counter for the security to check our belongings...no cameras allowed but mind u, i totally ignore them and shove bestie's camera inside me bag. *grin* once that was done, we made our way to the hall. there was already a big crowd gathered infront of the stage. i took my place in the center, about 10th row away frm the stage. not a bad spot except that there's 3 tall guys standing right infront of me. *sigh* the waiting time inside the hall was such a pain! i waited in pure agony for the concert to start. by 8.15, the crowd, including me was getting impatient. i got irritated when this dude infront of me kept fidgeting around. he cant stand still! kept on moving and turning, searching for someone at the back. felt like telling him off. but i restrain myself. anyway.. some guys tried to be funny by throwing several balloons up in the air. it was quite hilarious seeing those small balloons actually. helps to kill time. then at about 8.3o or so one of the roadie came out to check on the drum-set. upon seeing him, the crowd went wild. it was soo funny! then another 2 more roadie came out to check on the guitars and microphones and again the crowds went wild. hilarious. we did chant "MCR" but for like only a few seconds before it died off. then, finally after what seems like ages..the lights finally dimmed. everyone went extremely wild! ppl at the back were pushing forwards, crushing us upfront.

9pm was when the concert begins. i was in awe, literally. my mouth was hanging open. astonished by the sight of Gerard, Mikey, Frank and Ray. Bob wasnt there though, still nursing his injured wrist i guess. the scene was amazing! still fresh in my mind. the opening song was "This is How I Disappear". Everyone was jumping along with the song..including mua *grin* however, at the start of the concert, the crowd was uncontrollable. ppl kept on pushing each other up to the point where i almost fell and trampled over this poor girl. her friend told me that i was stepping on her and i apologised for i could not even get up. after 2 songs, Gerard had to stop and told us to listen to what he had to say. "I dont care how fucking crazy you guys are but please help those around you" well he said something like that. He kept on cursing throughout the night. the crowd did tame abit after he made that comment.

i honestly have no idea how many songs the played yesterday. let me try to recount:

1. This is How I Disappear
2. Im Not Okay
3. Helena
4. Mama
5. Teenagers
6. Cancer
7. Sleep
8. Welcome to the Black Parade
9. Desert Song
10. Famous Last Words

hmm...there might be a couple more songs but i seriously cant remember. after "Welcome to the Black Parade" Gerard bid us goodbye. The whole crowd started chanting "Encore! Encore!" well obviously the guys came back and sang 2 more songs, closing with "Famous Last Words". upon that song, the crowd went wild again! *sigh* it was terrible! damn it ppl!

in between those performance, Ray lit up his ciggies and continue rocking on the guitar and on one of the slower song, Frank lit up a lighter and wave it in the air..and Mikey, well he look damn fine with that long hair of his, rockin on his bass. *swoon* Gerard was being himself, cursing and screaming, shaking his hips and whatnot. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

all in all it was a FANTASTIC, AMAZING, BRILLIANT 1 and half hour concert ever! it just seems surreal to me up till this point. i still feel like i was watching a huge, gigantical screen of the band performing, but judging from all those pics and vidz that i took, it was all real! worth my money! it'll be even better if those lunatics could control themselves instead of shoving and pushing ppl who are trying to enjoy the concert as much as possible. assholes! but it's to be expected at a rock concert. *sigh* aite..im out!
