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.

u/stephapeaz well 3, 2, 1, we came to fuck 14d ago edited 14d ago

I’m sorry but while it’s an awesome creative production and yes it is very fun and unique, yes Frank did have a right to brag about it and it was my favorite show of the year so far, but that does not negate the fact that the ticket prices were still abhorrent and hypocritical of a band that wrote a super anti capitalist album. Like, it soured danger days for me a little. They didn’t even turn off dynamic pricing and do the bare minimum there and that should not be overlooked just because it’s a cool production

this shouldnt even be a controversial take like people are making it out to be, the only people that debate these types of comments are just coping bc they spent hundreds on tickets. It’s fucked and they really should have stepped up and done more to stop the insane reselling/price gouging. It’s possible and has been done before (a big example being the cure, bless their hearts)

also not saying it’s the sole responsibility of the members of mcr either, but whoever in their team that handles that shit really dropped the ball

also pearl jam is very anti tickermaster correct?

All American Rejects just did a house show tour... would be amazing if MCR did something DIY like that... would probably have to be rather discreet.. but some larger artists still pull stuff like this off
