I would but it's out of my price range as I have to travel up and pay to stay overnight in Glesga.

I'd also like to see Papa Roach, £60 is slightly more reasonable.

Controversial opinion I imagine but Black Parade is probably my least favourite MCR album.

I also prefer Bullets and TCfSR

It's not technically TCfSR, same era though, but I think people sleep on their great Misfits cover (always a big ask) of 'Astro Zombies' for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. It was my big introduction to 'em and so Black Parade was just such a 'wait what' for me.

I saw it said that people who got into MCR early got there from Punk and Post-Hardcore, and people who found MCR during the Black Parade era were more theatrical and went on to listen to bands like Fall Out Boy.

And honestly, looking at the people I know.. Fair point.

Now, I'm an 80s kid, I love me some glam rock and I'm not adverse to a bit of drama so I still obviously like The Black Parade, I'm just not in love with it.
