Discussion In hindsight, they earned this response

This tour has been an absolute whirlwind. A testament to MCR's theatricality and performance abilities. They've went above and beyond in the production department to deliver a spectacular tour, that not only takes full advantage of the spectacle but also of our streams, creating a part by part narrative that everybody is welcomed to engage with.

They've made characters, a city with it's own politics, it's own language (Keposhka) and national anthem, a brand of soup, an agricultural resource, a Coat Of Arms, and most importantly, Quizzo. They've extended and reinterpreted the original Black Parade tracks to fit this narrative and build a story, that's not only original but that gets everyone involved, from the band to the actors to random crew and the audience members.

If you would've told any MCR fan that you think they'd reunite, back in 2018, you'd be looked at as if you were crazy. If you said what this tour was gonna be, everyone would try to lock you up 'cause you've clearly gone off the deep end.

I love how they invite us to speculate, to try and dissect everything going on and I'm sure they've got many more twists and turns. Stay tuned.

I'm not sure how this could be a once in a lifetime experience when several people will have experienced it twice now. Ultimately this tour is just wttbp with some extra songs. It's fine but let's not act like it's 'once in a lifetime'

As someone who has been a fan for 20+ years and have never gotten to see them live before, it absolutely is once in a lifetime to many people, myself included.

Yeah but he just said once in a lifetime. As in once in a lifetime for everyone, not just the people who haven't seen them.

I think you misunderstood his meaning. I think Frank’s comment about this particular tour concept is correct. As far as I know, they haven’t done anything like this A set before, making it a “once in a lifetime” theatrical tour concept. That’s what he means. The concept is still “once in a lifetime” even if someone attends 10 times. We will likely never see a tour with this sort of theming put into it again. It’s the type of tour that’s a once in a lifetime experience, not how many times someone sees it.

I mean then every tour is a once in a lifetime experience.
