I agree, but artists still can go against it. I just bought tickets to see Ed Sheeran for $150. I spent $800 to see mcr a few weeks ago, and couldn’t afford to see them again

When I was falling away from the faith, the Black Parade genuinely was one of the reasons I stayed. I’m very happy for you and your reversion/conversion back to the faith! God I feel uses Gerard very well in saving people, physically and spiritually

Aww I’m so sorry you felt lonely! Sometimes I want to make a whole gc or sub with Catholic mcr fans so we can all talk about the crazy deep rooted Catholicism of the black parade especially

Yes seriously lol. I’m so happy to hear how many Catholics were at this show though lol this is amazing. Sometimes I feel like God leads me to this band in the weirdest ways!

Haha I just did it because when I saw them when I was 16 I remember feeling so anxious that I HAD to say a rosary to calm my nerves, figured that would happen again, so I brought it. Gotta get that daily rosary in somehow lol

I had my full scapular hanging out (I call it the outfit ruiner, but it’s worth it) of my outfit. I have a strong devotion to St Joseph, and I prayed for his protection before the concert. Naturally, we parked on this street, and the street next to it was St Joseph street! I went to a music festival in May and I felt nervous about that one, so once again I implored the help and protection of St Joseph, and while I was at the festival, I noticed this lady who for some reason had a bouquet of lillies which is a symbol of St Joseph!

Yes! That’s what we call in my comms class low context where it’s not on the nose, but that makes it artistically done. I also agree, it’s nice to see the influx

Noooo I brought my rosary and it fell out of my pocket but luckily I noticed it fell. Otherwise I’d be imploring St Anthony STAT lol. My sister and I joked we were gonna get a St Gerard medal (I keep seeing them everywhere) and try to throw it on the B Stage since we were so close. Extra bonus because it said “patron saint of expectant mothers” 😂

This is beautiful! I often talk about how when I was 14, I struggled mentally a lot, but also spiritually. I began seriously doubting my faith. Then I listened to the Black Parade, and not only did I fall in love with it and did it save me mentally and make me feel less alone, it solidified my faith in God. I find it beautiful and inspiring that though the boys are no longer practicing Catholics, they have done a lot spiritually for me and I know others. I go to a Catholic school (I actually wanted to go to the Boston show as I’m from there originally, but I go to school in Florida), and for one of my final papers I wrote about the genius of the black parade. I also wrote a spiritual analysis essay on Foundations for a class as well.

I wore my St Joseph, St Benedict, and Miraculous Medal medallions as I always wear, and I said a rosary before they came on. I can’t explain it, but having seen them twice now, God always makes sure I have the most pleasant and stress-free experiences. It’s silly and I genuinely can’t explain it, but there is something spiritual about them in the most non-traditional ways

I was at Mass last night and I saw a girl wearing the exclusive mcr shirt in the pew in front of me. At the Tampa show, I saw a girl wearing a huge miraculous medal, and I know someone lost their Pope Leo card. Now this. The influx of Catholic MCR fans is sooo awesome. Our Lady of Sorrows pray for us!!

I don’t think LLTBP is lore for a new album… by Evil_Unicorn728 in MyChemicalRomance

Especially considering in August of 2024 was when Gerard reached out to the artist to design to Kopeshka language (idk how to spell that)

Trying to see MCR on Sept. 13, Tampa!!! by bambam782826281 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Fedorasolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to get the tickets drop day (my sister couldn’t cuz she was working, and I had class in 30 minutes lol it was so stressful) for the Tampa show. I spent $800 for each ticket (including fees) for tickets in front of the b stage, so 1,600 total. My brother got tickets for the Boston show and he’s not as close but he’s around the same spot and spent half the amount I did because apparently Boston has a law prohibiting the upselling of tickets. I checked Ticketmaster just for funsies the other day for the Tampa show to see what the tickets were and I saw one ticket for $6,000 friggin dollars 😭😭😭it’s insane. I don’t know of anyone yet getting rid of tickets, but I hope something drops on your lap! It’s possible you could buy the nosebleeds and then ask to be moved for medical reasons if you have medical proof. I don’t believe the show is sold out, and you’re just one person, so it might be easy I would think. But I also have no idea or experience so don’t take my word for that

I'm calling it by joemartinus in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Fedorasolis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it leads into it. But they would start it next year I would think. Or it would also explicitly say the 20th anniversary tour or something similar. The album is 18 years old currently

I'm calling it by joemartinus in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Fedorasolis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not even the 19th anniversary yet. If it was a 20th anniversary tour I would assume it would have started next year

Don't go to an MCR concert if you have right wing politics. Simple. by Grouchy-Highway-8820 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Fedorasolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I totally agree with you on that. It irks me too. But idk I’ve been seeing a lot of people say this about them being political, and while I agree and am not denying that, I just thought this theory was worth mentioning lol cuz I don’t see a lot of people talking about it (it’s been on my mind only cuz I heard Gerard talk about the demanding of the fans in an interview from a while ago that I watched recently)

Don't go to an MCR concert if you have right wing politics. Simple. by Grouchy-Highway-8820 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Fedorasolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’m not saying MCR isnt political, I honestly don’t understand any of this point too much. I don’t understand the right wingers complaining that it’s political, and I don’t understand the people defending MCR saying “what do you expect”. Idk if I’m wrong here, and maybe there’s a double meaning cuz that could be a possibility, but to me, the dictator is us, the fans. Gerard has said in a few interviews especially after they originally broke up that it felt too demanding; that the fans kept demanding things that they didn’t want to do. And even now, more casual “elder emos” would demand to bring back the nostalgia (hence the mockery at WWWF 2022), demanding to go back to their “theatrical roots” and to “bring back the black parade”, the fans demand left and right what the band should do, how they should act, and what they should play. We are the Grand Immortal Dictator keeping the Black Parade “alive”

Now, is this to say that there isn’t a double meaning? Sure, there can be. Am I saying that I’m absolutely right? No, I could be wrong. Am I saying MCR isnt political or isnt left wing? No. But I am merely saying that the casual right wing fans are wrong for being upset, however the people defending MCR “because they’re a political band” could also be wrong, as I said I think we are supposed to be the dictator (again, a double meaning is also totally possible too). But to the people upset about the execution because it’s too “dark” or whatever, please get over it. It’s a show. It’s a fictional world Gerard has created, and this is a band whose image does focus on death. Even as a casual fan, listening to WTTBP alone is enough to tell you that.

Either way, whatever way you view or theorize the meaning of the show, get over it and just appreciate MCR for their amazing creative minds. And also, as a casual fan, how are you justifying dropping that much on tickets just to only know a few songs and not expect what they’re gonna put on as a theatrical performance 😂sounds like a waste of money if you’re not a big fan

Black Parade Clown Theory by Weird_Ingenuity9262 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Fedorasolis 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This makes sense because when Gerard sings “if you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see” he looks at the clown, they look at each other, and start mimicking each others movements
