Last night I went and saw the Honda Civic Tour here in Utah at the USANA Amphitheater with my girlfriend. It was all brilliant even though we mostly went for My Chemical Romance. I'm actually a bit resentful that Blink 182 headlined. I'll admit they're a really fucking great band and all and have some of the most amazing stage presence around, but I don't think that just cause they're a more comercial band they should get to headline. MCR is way better musically. Their lyrics and the way that they bring in elements from older style music and mix it all up with their own ideas make a unique sound is simply brilliant. Even their older stuff is hella gorgeous musically. Haha if you haven't noticed I'm a bit of a fan
anyways i loved the set list
[link] and i have pictures from almost all of the songs up in my gallery. I actually took hundreds of pictures but only a few turned out well. MCR uses a lot of LED light arrays on stage and that makes it really hard to take pictures of XD. I was interested to find out that 'Helena' is about Gerard and Mikey's grandmother. Also I don't really have any close ties to cancer victims, and when I listen to the song on the album I'm always fine, but when they played Cancer I just got chills and teared up. That's actually one of the reasons I love alternative while i have distain or worse for most pop and rap music: Good music and artists in my humble opinion have (beyond just being musically talented) lyrics that invoke emotions that you can relate to deeply, while pop seems to be just about the fake electronic beat and strippers/money/sex/drugs/booze/dancing/etc. But I digress...I actually went to see them when they stopped here in Salt Lake on the World Contamination Tour but I wasn't really into them or their music at that point so I wasn't able to fully appreciate it
which is a shame because (as i may have possibly implied) they're a really fucking talented band and are really fascinating musically. But hey that concert is what turned me on to their greatness in their first place ^-^ well I'm probably rambling now at this point anyways so I'll wrap up. Good night all ^-^
