the black princes???

i am emo. but please don't associate me with the current 'emo' scene.

went for the my chemical romance gig last tuesday on the 11th. looking at how popular they are among certain youngsters nowadays, i expected a humongous crowd. and well, the queue was damn long la by the time i reached expo. which was about 7.30ish?

but wait a minute. long queue? apparently, throngs of people were clueless about what they were supposed to do. including yours truly. there were no signs to guide us or what not. we didn't even know where to head to exactly. i mean, max pavilion yeah. but where the bloody hell is the exact entrance?

in the end. we kinda. uh. gate crashed. headed to the very front. saw there were like some small pathetic signs indicating the tix prices above the entrance doors. i mean helllooooo. small. puny. who the hell can see those signs from far???

anyhows. we just waited near the front. for like half an hour. when finally they just opened the remaining doors to allow more people through.

reached the free standing area to wait some more. the tix indicated 8pm but it actually started at about 9pm.

ok ok. enough ramblings. i dunno how to describe it really. it was quite a rocking good time. otherwise, it felt like a bit of a disappointment. compared to the muse gig, it was a tad lacklustre. no mosh pits. the crowd abit blah. and the scores of fans giving the \m/ signs were a bit off putting. but oh well. who am i to debate the origins of the sign and decide who can actually brandish it proudly.

these are some pics i managed to take. the rest just sucked cos the batt for my cam is just too damn weak. (it's a rechargeable one) the zoom wasnt all that spectacular. and i was short. hahah.




[ST reported attendance was about 7000. similar figures for the muse gig back in january. and i seriously thought mcr would attract waaaay more peeps. and did anyone notice the amount of space allocated to their review in Life!?? a teeeny column. no pictures either. pfffft. even the review for megadeth had included a pretty large picture! *shrug* maybe they just dont wanna promote the 'emo' scene lest more teenagers go and cut themselves up.]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if mcr only attracted 7000 peeps, there's no chance of bringing Lamb of God!! not as if there was a great chance to begin with. but still. commercial rock band against not very commercial metal band. what are the odds?? *waaaaaillll*

BUT. incubus next march!! woohoo!! brandon boyd!!! ;)
