Melissa off to her first rock concert....

[flamepony12]

does anyone know how good they are live?

Meaning My Chemical Romance? At some times they sound amazing, and at some they don't sound like they do on the records, but lately, they've been sounding quite good live. Gerard's voice has just made leaps and bounds since he's been sober.. I think it's been about two years. I'm sure she'll have fun and it will be a great concert.. let us know how she likes it!

Big Day Out has been around for a long time she'll have a great time. Awesome experience for a "First Timer".

Melissa just sent me a text to say she is on her way, i can tell she is excited, my chemical romance are having a sign in tent from 12 -1pm so i hope she makes it, be a queue for that, she has a white t shirt for signing, that will be her dream come true to see gerard up close and get the siggies, fingers crossed she is one of the lucky ones eh?

Thanks for that safety issue website, i had not seen that before, and i have been checking it out all the time, yep there are controls in place, but things still happen, but i feel confident she is in good hands, with four adults with her, and one being her big brother,he won't let anything happen to his precious baby sis lol. a crowd of 40,000 is expected.

UPDATE; for those who are fans as well, info was wrong sign in tent is 6pm now,and only the first 300 get in, can only line up from 5pm, so fingers and paws crossed everyone that Melissa makes it, just texted her and MCR are just about ready to play, she is so far back though she can hardly see them, pity, that is diappointing, but being up close is not the most fun either, hot and sweaty and claustrophobic,,she has been on a few carnival rides and that's all i have for now

Well Melissa waited for three hours in the hot sun and guess what folks, yup she got to meet gerard and all the members of my chemical romance, she even shook all their hands and said hi, they did not sign her t shirt she had brought with her but did sign some paper, which she thought was better, she is over the moon,she said he is HOT, i am so happy for her and excited, this will have been the highlight of the whole day, and one moment she will never ever forget, and oh her friends are going to be green with envey lol.

There is going to be one very exhausted but elated teenager tonite, mind you i figure there will be a few tired adults in that household tonite as well, my son his partner and my son's best mate all had to wait the three hours too, as they would not leave Melissa alone by herself.

Carole, that is just fantastic that she got to meet the band! What a great, great day for Melissa. Lucky girl.

[flamepony12]

I'm so glad she had a good time Lucky girl.. I'll bet she had a blast!

I heard that Frank (guitarist) wasn't there after all though, and his replacement was. But it's great that she got to meet the other members!

Yes you heard right he was not there, still did not worry Melissa, Gerard was the only one she really wanted to see, she has some awesome pictures she took of him, when they are on computer i maybe able to post them, as i know there are some other fans on here who might like to see them, she bought herself a my chemical romance t-shirt as well, it is pretty nice too, and she even went into the mosh pit, for those who are not sure what that is, it is where everyone is crowded together and goes a little crazy,but the only way you can get to see the band up close, apparently one member of the band asked the crowd to move back, and they responded immediately, he was impressed and jokingly said I have power,big bro did a good job taking care of his lil sis, and he even missed his fav band Tool playing his fav song to take her home a little early as she had a sore back from all the waiting,and standing around, ah the things big bro's have to sacrifice,but yes a good time was had by all it appears,especially one 14 yr old teenager.

I'm glad she had a good time and everything went fairly well. And I must say that she has a wonderful big brother!

[Almita]

That's soo great that she had an awesome time. That's funny that they all responded to move back immediatley i can imagine that. Seems like big bro is a really great one. Who takes care of his lil sis. I think that is sweet.
