People have to watch this show from beginning to end, it is truly inspiring! I respect any band who will keep playing at those circumstances. But tbh any other band would have back off or leave the stage with their egos broken but MCR keep playing. They're not eager to be popular or to fit in, they're pretty much used to be the outcasts. Is inspiring to see how by the end of the show people are clapping and singing along, it's like you're watching a completely different show from the one at the beginning. The way they played Thanks for the venom was so epic and Gee being as sassy as ever.

[@DanielBurtonDidYourWife]

Thank For The Venom performance is when they were like "WE DON"T GIVE A FUCK ANY MORE!!!" that's everyone started to respect them. I cried by the end of the performance man, fuck that bullshit title emo, MCR. is punk rock. They have inspired me.

I actually think this show was really amazing. I mean, everything started out horribly with people showing them their middle fingers, throwing bottles and pretty much every song being announced falsely, but yet they played phenomenally, showed them how much they cared aka did not care about their so-called haters and EVEN managed to turn the crowd around and ended the show with everyone chanting, clapping and cheering for them. If that doesn't prove that band was special, then what does?

To anyone confused about the toxic crowd, in 2006 MCR weren’t too well received with the more close minded side of the older rock and metal fans. MCR played immediately after Slayer at reading that year, resulting in a high concentration of these people in the crowd. The more immature of the bunch were the ones throwing the bottles and cans. Edit: not to mention reading is overall a very toxic festival in general and acts get bottled fairly often

[@thatonerampartmain8843]

This is very similar to Queen's first concert in 1974 at Sunbury festival, Australia where they were heckled and booed by the audience and apparently sabotaged their equipments. Freddie Mercury noted to the audience the next time they return there, they would be the biggest band in the world and boom they did lol

[@bree8762]

Gerard actually said the same thing when he asked Brian May to play with them when MCR returned to headline Reading a few years later. The parallel is part of why May agreed to do it, and he wrote later on his blog that Gerard reminded him a lot of Freddie.

I remember getting angry at people who were throwing bottles for being disrespectful. Probably could have got punched in the face but I didn't really think about that at the time. Haha! I enjoyed Slayer (who were on just before) and MCR so I never understood why people felt the need to bottle bands. If you don't like them, just walk away and come back later. Anyway, amazing show!

nah he was there in 2011 i think

[@alisayxu]

WAIT REALLY

[@FernandoOliveira-df1tv]

the whole drama of this concert is one of the reasons why i love this band so much

[@Bia-pn8hi]

which drama?

[@FernandoOliveira-df1tv]

+Bia you know, how the crowd was booing and throwing bottles of piss at them in the beggining and how, when they got to Helena, they managed to win their cheers and everything. Gerard talks about this set all the time in interviews, and it's amazing that they got to come back in 2010 and headline the whole fucking festival with an even bigger audience full of fans.

0:36 Ray was not having it. That look, I thought he was about to cancel the show

[@gothkyle7362]

Mother Ray said I WILL TURN THIS BAND AROUND IF YOU DONT ACT RIGHT-

[@whocares2126]

This is actually painful to watch as a mcr fan

[@omarandre2697]

Natalie Grant you should be proud though they won that metalhead crowd over at the end

[@whocares2126]

+Roman Phillips I agree with you, I was just making a statement

[@whocares2126]

+Nobody For President Urgh,....because I did, that OK with you?

[@battlep0t]

The good thing is they went on to headline that festival 5 years later and got a great crowd response that time around. I just think metal fans just got so butthurt and defensive when the emo movement got huge around 2006.

[@whocares2126]

+Andy Benji agreed! I went to the reading festival they headlined in 2011 and everyone absolutely loved them and the look on their faces when they realised that was awesome!

[@apollojanda3536]

because tbp didn't exist at the time where this show took place. thats why the setlist messed up.

[@serpentine6171]

I heard they changed the set-list to a heavier set-list because they were placed on a stage that a metal band played before them, hence why they were getting bottled, still no reason to bottle a band, fuckers.

thanks for the accurate one!!

[@JosephGallagher]

Why're you not a pinned comment? Thank you

[@kaylahowie1366]

I think that they changed the setlist based on the crowd's reaction and it was an amazing decision.

11:26 Kisses to his enemies is to “fire at will” with class

[@floweredinfebruary]

Oh and Frank at the very end? I literally said "fuck yeah!" out loud and now my friend is laughing at me. Oops

[@LittleSquishie]

Also Frank just throwing his water bottles in retaliation every time he takes a sip from a new water bottle is a mood

[@madisonpahl913]

I watched them at Reading 2011 before I watched this, and the comparison is INSANE.

[@mrs.lesterfuentes852]

Better or worse??

[@madisonpahl913]

+Mrs. lesterfuentes Their 2011 show, Gerard is so much more confident. You can tell in this one that he's a little less sure of the stage, but in 2011 you can just see how free he's acting. He's quite stiff here.

[@mrs.lesterfuentes852]

***** Oh cool, I wil have to check it out

[@store4books]

+Madison Pahl Kinda hard to be free and give your best when they say you suck. But 2011 is GREAT & Brian May playing with them is like him saying he likes them.

[@EllieBellie_111]

Let this show be a lesson to all the people who get bullied and hazed. They'll do it whether it's right or wrong. The sweetest revenge is to keep going with a smile.

[@itstoriii3868]

I like how they had a backup guitar for Frank

[@qtip1545]

They really came back to that same festival a couple years later as fucking legends, headlining the festivals and playing with Brian May on stage.

[@sophia1745]

WHY DID FRANK THROW IS GUITAR ONTO THE FLOOR AND BRAKE IT LIKE ITS A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR I WOULD OF HAPPILY HAD IT

[@theunfortunat3]

This was posted 8 years ago and the last comment was 12 hours ago... I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE RELEVANT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!! Loving them since 2007 when I was 12 FHUKIN y.o ... Loving them until I'm dead.

[@nebuleusetentatrice]

I love how Ray smiles so wide everytime they start a song, its like he's happy ppl recognized what song is that

[@patlor]

I love how in the ending of Helena Gerard made the crowd raise their middle fingers as they shout the band's name. It was like the crowd were telling them fuck you but actually, it's the other way around. Gee was like 'REMEMBER THE NAME MOTHERFUCKERS! AND FUCK YOU TOO'

[@Jsol2345]

LOOK AT MIKEY FUCKING WAY

I love how the damn titles are always wrong. Gerard: THIS SONG... IS CALLED HOUSE OF WOLVES! Teleprompter: *Puts up “Helena”*

House of Wolves is by far the most underrated My Chem song. The Light Behind Your Eyes is my favorite and is also extremely underrated, but at least people remember it for being one of the My Chemical Romance songs that makes people cry every time
