Many fans describe seeing MCR live as feeling like coming home. Did you experience anything like that at your show?
I mentioned this before, but screaming along to Famous Last Words with thousands of other people after so many years whispering it to myself changed my life. It felt like I truly belonged
If you could change one thing about your show experience, what would it be?
I wish I could have been a bit closer to the stage so I could’ve seen them better
Has your perspective or opinion about the band changed since seeing them on this tour? If so, in what way?
Yes, I have the utmost respect for who they are as artists and people. I idolized them before, but once you’ve seen them live, it changes the whole way you view them. I can’t put it into words, it’s just something you have to experience.
What advice would you give to people seeing My Chemical Romance in the future?
Get ready to be blown away! I recommend going with a buddy, stadium shows can be overwhelming, with all the people and lights and noise. Have a place to meet up after the show if you get separated while leaving.
Anything we didn't ask that you feel obliged to share or talk about?
I would like to thank the mcr tumblr for being so welcoming and open. They’ve given me wonderful friends and memories that I will cherish forever.
Thanks, Kay! They can be found on Tumblr at @cosmictequila and Twitter at the same handle.
