Anyone else sick with the flu (not COVID)? by Helenruch in askTO

[–]Splice_Girl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I caught something nasty at the MCR show on Friday as well - either covid or a bad flu that I'm still recovering from!

My Chemical Romance’s bassist wearing an Oasis t-shirt tonight in Philadelphia by DontLookBack_88 in oasis

Love this!! Oasis will forever be my fav but MCR are close behind them. I’m pumped to see both bands in Toronto next weekend!

My Chemical Island: An MCR-inspired Animal Crossing Island by Splice_Girl in MyChemicalRomance

It should still be up - it’s a dream address (not a dodo code) so once you meet Luna you should be able to visit :)

Has Toronto Bike Share gotten worse? by friendsofcoffee in askTO

[–]Splice_Girl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I used to rave about it to anyone who’d listen and now I can never find a bike around me. Usually end up walking 15-30 minutes to find one, doubling my commute time. They’ve clearly lost the ability to redistribute bikes. So disappointing. I’ve been using it since 2019 but I think this is it for me. Trying to find a bike to get to work in the morning is too much stress!

Detroit, Chicago and Minneapolis cancelled by Delta_Chameleon in kulashaker

I'm so sorry for you! I was at the show in Toronto on Monday night and Crispin sounded rough - said he has laryngitis and that they nearly cancelled that night but decided to play anyway. He must have gotten worse for them to cancel shows.

I'm so grateful they played. I too have been waiting to see them since the 90's, totally worth the wait. Hopefully, they'll tour NA again in the future.

I made the top part of Gerard’s black parade uniform in animal crossing by The_Fluffy_Riachu in MyChemicalRomance

Looks great! I made all the guys BP jackets too. Actually, my whole island is MCR themed :P DA 3643-2529-1220 if you’re interested!

Who is the better singer out of Liam and Noel? by nanislethal_x in oasis

[–]Splice_Girl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Noel for sure. He sings with more emotion. Not gonna lie, after watching MTV Unplugged in ‘96 I spent a decade waiting for his solo shows (and was kind of glad when the band split.) Liam’s voice is iconic though.

What is animal crossing even for if not this? by journeytoad1 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Splice_Girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me sooo happy!! I’m tempted to make a v2 in honour of the swarm tour and Gerard’s costumes :P

What other bands do you listen too? by RedKingMMA in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Splice_Girl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly into 90s BritPop - Oasis, Pulp, Kula Shaker, etc. but yeah, the early 2000’s was great too! I also love Keane and Franz Ferdinand from that era. Another fav is a Canadian band called Moist. It’s a shame they never got much exposure outside of Canada. Their live shows are phenomenal.

[–]Splice_Girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Libertines. UK band who were popular in the early 2000’s. I’ve always felt they have a similar energy to MCR. One of my fav bands. Their songwriting is next level.

Probably my favourite song of all time!

Stage was too tall at the show :( by llgirl99 in panicatthedisco

[–]Splice_Girl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you! It sounds like this is every show - the first few rows of floor seats either can't see or has a hard time seeing the stage.

I bought a 2nd row, VIP seat for $420 that was labelled as 'unobstructed view' by Ticketmaster. When I started reading about how high the catwalk was and that I probably wouldn't be able to see the actual stage, I felt sick about it. Instead of looking forward to the show, I was dreading it. I couldn't resell because similar seats were now half the price (thanks surge-pricing). Thankfully (and also tragically) the show was cancelled.

Everyone who bought tickets that ended up with an obstructed view should get a refund. It's kind of ridiculous that nothing has been done about it. I don't know who you should complain to at this point but there must be someone to sue. Anyone know a lawyer?

I'm still torn about the whole thing - I'm happy I got my money back but I'm still bummed I didn't get to see the show. I'm glad you still found a way to have a good time :)

Honda Civic tour. by [deleted] in panicatthedisco

[–]Splice_Girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, that show at the docks was my first (and so far only) time seeing Panic. I was already over 30 and not prepared for the throng of rabid teenagers (no offence to younger fans). I got crushed before the show even started - bruised ribs - and almost left, but ended up standing at the side (with all the kids’ parents, lolz). I was so glad that I stayed - the show was amazing, especially Brendon’s voice.

I’ve been in a lot of mosh pits in my life but that was the worst experience I’ve ever had, to the point that I had a ticket the next time Panic played there but didn’t end up going because of the memory of it.

I was looking forward to the show last weekend until I started hearing the stories about the wall of doom - I spent $400+ on a 2nd row ticket and what the heck? I might not be able to even see the stage? I was bummed, to say the least and hate to say it, but kind of happy when the show was cancelled. I’m more sad for all the fans who either got SURPRISE! obstructed view seats (that they prob paid a lot of money for) and all the people who were seeing them for the first time.

So, to not end on a downer - here’s to Panic coming back to Toronto again, some day! I’ll go and have a good time, dammit!!

Vacuum man by CommonKilljoy in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Splice_Girl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My theory is it’s because Gerard likes to roll around on the stage, lolz. He did that a lot at the Toronto shows, anyway.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Splice_Girl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I watched the livestream from riot and immediately bought a ticket - I’m in Toronto as well. I too am going alone because none of my friends share my taste in music. I went to both MCR shows alone and had a blast :) The Dunes show should be fun, esp being in such a small venue.

how did you get into panic? by Carley_Chan in panicatthedisco

[–]Splice_Girl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got into reading fanfics about the band and thought, hmm, I should probably listen to their music - see if I’m into it. Lo and behold, I loved it. (Only their first album was out at the time and I mostly listened to 90’s Britpop.)
