Call them Emo, call them Goth/Punk/Pop/Alternative, call them whatever, there's no denying My Chemical Romance's popularity. You would be hard pressed to tell whether the crowd at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater was there to see the headliner blink-182 or My Chemical Romance.
I was surprised how much I liked this bands show. I had heard nightmare stories about the lighting (from a photographer's perspective) but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Yes, red lights everywhere but they were bright red lights, with a few white spots and some blue/green/yellow thrown in as well so it made for some decent photos. Click here for the slideshow.
Singer Gerard Way knows how to work the crowd, that much is for sure. One foot on the monitor, both hands on the mic, a powerful and moody figure surrounded in red light and even redder hair. Call them what you will, they delivered a powerful show that I wouldn't mind seeing again.
