My Chemical Romance marches on again at Los Angeles reunion show: Our review from the emo titan's Shrine Expo gig
As the band remains shrouded behind an enormous curtain, rumblings of the opening dialogue from 2004’s “I’m Not Okay ” already sends the audience spiraling. “You can’t swim, you can’t dance and you don’t know karate! Face it, you’re never gonna make it,” shout along members of the MCRmy’sgeneration. “I don’t wanna make it,” says Gerard in the clip. “I just wanna —” the curtain drops, and the band charges into a full-on punk rock blitz.
Hundreds of fans of various genders and races don their best Gerard cosplay, emulating the sharp-dressed, androgyne glam rocker they best remember from theera. Gerard, however, opts for an understated, earthy look in green army shirt and jeans — but he belts his heart out all the same. During “Thank You For the Venom,” he even gives his back pockets a couple of cheeky pats. We decide we like laid-back, down-home Gerard, but he returns to his crawly, vampiric persona in “House of Wolves.
Youth Code’s Sara Taylor sprints into the foreground to join the band in their swing dance punk number, “You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison.
Though the 2010s saw dozens of emo band reunions bubble up and dissipate, it’s with this landmark concert that MCR ceases to be a nostalgic act, and proves its mettle as a timeless, rock and roll band for the ages. The band has five more appearances slated for 2020, exclusively in Australia, New Zealand and Japan; as for fans in the States, so long, and good night for now.
