On this day, October 15

In 2022: My Chemical Romance performed their 57th show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Inglewood, California, USA. At this show, Gerard Way wore a custom designed Dracula outfit, and four tally marks were drawn on the drums. The majority of the songs performed at this show were from their fourth album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys". (🖤)

Watch the show here!

Was talking to someone at the mcr show last night and they had rainbow shoelaces and I had to restrain myself in horror to stop myself from from telling them that I liked their shoelaces

I’ve decided that what life is actually about is slow dancing with my boyfriend to Kids From Yesterday in the audience of an My Chemical Romance Concert

danger days night being family night was so so so magical.

gerard has talked before how part of the reason the danger days tour was so hard was because they all missed their families so much. and at danger days night in 2022 bandit was there with her friends and mikey brought his daughter on stage with him to hold her and wave at the crowd together.

they made it out of those hotel rooms and the light is coming in and all their families are with them.

something about how the danger days era was so harmful and painful and destructive to the band, and especially gerard's sense of identity and priorities, is why the last few moments of last night's show hit especially hard for me. the entire show had a focus of love and family and affection, and mikey bringing his daughter on stage and holding her tight as they closed out kids from yesterday was the final act of love that set this era and this retelling of danger days apart.

instead of sticking it to "the man" (themselves) this was a night of embracing who they were and who they've become. instead of a focus on the intensity of the rebellious love that is central to danger days, it was a focus on the love itself above all else. not in a way where anything has to change, but in a way where the best parts of yourself and your life are elevated to sincerely and repeatedly embrace those around you.
