My Chemical Romance played The Edge 102.1′s Jingle Bell Rock series closing it out for another season, and they couldn’t have picked a better band to go out with a bang. The concert sold out, which didn’t surprise me in the least because there were kids lined up outside the Sound Academy by 2:00am and by 5:00am there were a few hundred camped out for when doors opened at 7:00pm. Saying that My Chemical Romance have an enormous following would be the understatement of the year considering it’s more of a cult with fans dressing up in costume to see them perform. Leading up to their set, a bunch fights broke out and a few people needed EMT’s… probably from waiting in the cold for 17 hours then moving into a packed 100 degree crowd… but that didn’t stop most of them getting back into the mess later on. I counted one girl get pulled out 4 times only to go right back in.
Overall, probably my favourite show of 2010 not to mention my last. Everything about this band screams passion, from their lyrics to the way the perform on stage. I highly recommend you go see them when they come back to Toronto on April 19th 2011.
