Tuesday night saw the Family Peacock at Sheffield Arena to see "Emo" favourites, My Chemical Romance. For those of you who don't know what "Emo" means it refers to individuals, who feel that they don't belong to the mainstream. Wearing mainly dark clothing they sit in their bedrooms, feeling depressed and worrying about the world. Emos are extremely emotional (hence Emo) and care very deeply about things. Paradoxically they pretend to be emotionless and like to give the impression that they don't care about anything.....................in my day they were called teenagers! Speaking of teenagers one of the songs that got the really got The Mosh Pit rocking was "Teenagers (scare the living shit out of me)". Other crowd pleasers were "Black Parade", "Famous last words""Dead" and the very emotional (and surprisingly touching)"Cancer". OK I think you can see a theme but for all their emo posturing and angst ridden lyrics, My chemical Romance are actually an old fashioned rock band.....and a very good one to boot. So we had a really good time. I was probably the oldest person there but I still did some (very mild) headbanging. Even Alex was having a boogie until Yasmine told her off. Evidently her 70s disco style dancing was "embarrassing". Saffy also enjoyed herself, despite her basic error of listening to her Grannie and wearing a thermal vest to a rock concert-boy was it hot!
Click on the title "my chemical romance" to check them out and let me know what you think.
