So i have seen them live twice now, the second being at Reading Festival 2011 which they headlined the main stage which was EPIC by the way, but more importantly I'm going to tell you about the first time i saw them live which was back in february in Nottingham.
As you are probably aware, if anyone is reading this, you can probably guess that i love drawing and this has always been the case ever since i can remember, However, for a few year i stumbled upon a creative block in which i had no inspiration and creative expression thus resulting in a lack of artwork produced by me.
Anyways so a friend of mine is a HUGE HUGE HUGE MCR fan and always has been and i think he has seen them live like 16 times now ~(I've got a lot of catching up to do)~ and because of him i really got into them. I just found their talent to make such anthem like music was astounding and what astounded me even more was their fan base the 'MCRmy', some of the people i have come across have been amazing people and one common denominator in all these people is that MCR have most definitely saved their lives, not always in the literal sense, but thats not important. I simply found this band and their fans amazing and like nothing i have ever come across before, and me, being really into my music, i really wanted some of this action.
The time finally came! i was getting the chance to go see My Chemical Romance for the first time and experience the greatness everyone was on about. So we headed into the Arena and three of us headed down the front for the much better concert experience, as i don't really see the point in paying money to go see a band and standing at the back where you can hardly see and the atmosphere is much drier (literally) than down the front where you are standing pit to sweaty pit with people, who for that moment, you share something in common with and everyone is like your best friend. LET ME TELL YOU this concert was a life changer for me thats for sure, i mean you can talk about how great a band are without seeing them, and thats enough for some people which is fine, but for me the feeling just intensifies and its like no other experience on the Earth.
The next few days after the concert definitely got me thinking, and i was feeling something i hadnt felt in a while, INSPIRATION, finally it had returned to me and not just in a small dose, it was OVERWHELMING! I had to let it out. So this is the day i started drawing again, and it may be on and off, but i haven't stopped since although im pretty sure Reading Fest was a top up :). Anyways seeing as they gave me my inspiration back i stared with a pretty epic piece of MCR related work, and i have done a few others of them too. So when im feeling a lack of inspiration i know i can turn to My Chemical Romance and i will find it again, so for that i wish to thank them.
