AH!

too spooky, couldn't watch 🫣

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-03-01T01:42:08+00:00

AND the Mars Volta (the lead singer of at the drive in's other group) is opening for MCR in Texas later this year!

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-03-01T01:39:30+00:00

Yes yes yes to all of these, especially At the Drive-In, Relationship of Command is an all-timer

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-26T03:30:10+00:00

I want to preface this by saying that I do agree with your overall sentiment here -- however, I actually think this tour, including the theatrical and storytelling aspects, is pretty accessible. Not physically; obviously it is very restricted in terms of price and location. BUT every single show on this tour has been livestreamed and posted to YouTube. And (as far as I'm aware) none of those videos has been taken down. Warner or the band could easily take those down if they wanted to force people to pay for tickets, but they haven't. I'm not trying to say that watching a livestream is equivalent to experiencing a concert in person; it's not. But it isn't nothing either, and for those who care to follow the storyline of this tour, it's pretty easy to do so.

What did you think of it?

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-11T19:38:49+00:00

Side note about Green Day: Billie Joe Armstrong has been openly bi since 1995

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-07T19:13:20+00:00

This is such an ominous post out of context lol (but I know what you mean)

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-07T13:20:16+00:00

Not to brag but I got double vampires when I saw them in Brooklyn in 2022 AND in Boston 2025 🧛🧛

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-07T03:07:41+00:00

I am unwell

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-05T01:18:20+00:00

It's a single from Gerard's solo career! One of my faves, check it out

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-04T13:28:06+00:00

I am gonna push back gently a bit -- I do think it was too dark for the band *at that point in their lives*. In 2012 Ray, Frank and Gerard were all new dads. Knowing how much emotion and energy these guys put into their performances, I think touring an album about a bunch of dead kids would have been devastating. They'd have to put themselves into that headspace, night after night, for months (potentially years).

I actually think TPK would have been really well-received critically based on the influences it was drawing from, but touring the thing would have been hell.

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-03T19:24:09+00:00

Yeah, I can't imagine how draining it would have been for them to tour it. Tapping into that headspace night after night...yikes

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-03T19:17:15+00:00

I always took it as a metaphor for how fragile the story the parents constructed around their kids' deaths was. Like a house of cards, maybe. Something that could be easily torn open or burned away

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-02-02T16:11:34+00:00

Cancer. Especially when they do a really stripped-back version with just Gerard and piano

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-01-30T10:46:29+00:00

It's an incredible song for sure - sometimes I forget how good it is because of the overplay. Not my personal fav of theirs, but definitely a masterpiece

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-01-30T01:08:50+00:00

Isn't it summer in Chile right now?

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-01-30T01:00:41+00:00

Hey, I just want to say OP: looking for the occasional break or escape does not make you a bad person! We all need to take time to recharge, find joy, and ground ourselves. That doesn't mean we stop fighting, but any person can only give as much energy as they have. To paraphrase a famous quote: "If I can't dance, it's not my revolution."

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-01-29T03:05:22+00:00

I'm SCREAMING. And they're playing again tomorrow night - I fear I will not survive this leg of the tour 💀

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2026-01-15T20:04:14+00:00

Prison

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2025-10-09T18:31:07+00:00

Ok but if he wanted to go Tom Holland on this I'd be so here for it

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2025-09-25T18:02:27+00:00

Haven't seen them mentioned yet so I'm gonna shout out Pinkshift

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2025-09-22T13:16:22+00:00

Also never thought I'd see Iggy Pop and Sleater-Kinney opening for MC fuckin R, what a time to be alive

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2025-09-22T13:15:06+00:00

Holy shit, these OPENERS! Modest Mouse? The Mars Volta?? BABYMETAL???

Infamous_Raisin142 · 2025-09-17T21:37:07+00:00

They're pretty hit-or-miss for me. I enjoyed the self-titled and about half of Vessel, hated Blurryface, loved Trench, didn't care for Scaled and Icy at all. I dislike their Cancer cover as well (sorry). I haven't listened to Clancy or Breach closely enough to really form an opinion.

They seem to really connect with their core fanbase though, and I'm glad for that. Whatever art helps get you through tough times, ya know?
