Now before anyone jumps off with "not another moan about school or family" I’m sad because I’ve realised something. Now I’ve been a fan of my chemical romance since I was about 13. Me and my friends used to go to a games club in second year in high school. And on one of the computers they used to play my chemical romance, fall out boy and panic at the disco videos. I was into FOB first but after I go into my chem. and I fell I love. Not just the music but the people the personas of the black parade and three cheers for sweet revenge. I first got the black parade. Then revenge, then bullets. And now danger days. I used to play guitar in my room and act out like Frankie did on stage and fall about screaming backup vocals (badly) And brought my fingers to bleed multiple times. Frank (no offence to the others) has always been my favourite band member. I always thought he was beautiful, and the only guy I was ever attracted to for a long time before I met more guys to my taste. Two days ago I watched the video for the kids from yesterday, and I almost cried. I thought it was beautiful. Then yesterday I watched the new interview. And I got sad. Because I remembered the old interviews and the old live videos. And I realised just how much this band I’d fallen in love with four years ago have changed. I almost cried a little (but that doesn’t happen much so I didn’t). Now. I love danger days, I don’t want anyone thinking I hate it. I am a diehard killjoy at heart. But I had a moment where I remembered the past. And I realised, there so composed in interviews and aren’t as crazy on stage. They used to take the piss out of each other and badly injure each other on tour. They were mental and unstoppable. Now (I’m not saying "oh no they changed") I’m aware why they don’t do that anymore. It’s because they have grown up. And it’s that that makes me almost cry because it’s the end of an era. there crazy streak is over and now it’s time for the responsible adults with family and kids to come into view (which is pretty much what the kids from yesterday is about) it just saddens me that I will never get to see my chem the way I fell in love with them. I will never get that intimate show, or small pub gig. It’ll forever be the SECC or the O2 academy. These big venues where there is a barrier holding the crowd 3 meters away from the stage. There is no chance of getting to the front and grabbing the hand of a band member who can’t leve the stage. I love this band and always will but I guess in the end I don’t like change. I like things to be the way I remember them, friends, family, bands, and school. Nothing stays the same unfortunately. You’ve just got to move with the world and focus on being your best. But I will always love my chemical romance. And no matter what they play or do, they will always hold a special place in my heart. Five boys from NJ. Who look like death and play like madmen. Who don’t give a fuck who you are or if you hate them. But I you liked there music they would love you for it. Who played songs that makes your spine tingle. Who kick fuck out of each other on stage and put on a hell of a show. I know its so cliché on this website. But this band has changed my life no musical act has had such an impact. It can make me feel like a king, or bring me to tears in the blink of an eye. And I will never be the same again…
