April 26, 2007....Charlotte, NC....
Muse will be opening for MCR in what will be the most emo concert I've ever gone to. Personally, I believe MCR should be opening for Muse, who I think is a much better band musically and definitely vocally. I've only recently "gotten into" some MCR stuff, and I enjoy it musically solely for their guitarist and because of their lyrics...especially the lyrics on Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. It should be a decent show though, because Muse has been acclaimed as one of the best live bands, which should balance out MCR who does not sound that good live in my opinion.
I hate finding bands after they have already broken up...because then you can never see them in concert..That recently happened to me when I discovered Death From Above 1979 for myself, only to be trumped by the fact that this talented duet does no longer work together...It hurts the place where my soul should be.
I have come to find that going to concerts has become like a hobby for me..so to end this semi-confessional post..I will leave you with a short list of bands or musicians that I would like to see play live..who I haven't seen yet.
Ben Folds
Bloc Party
Cassettes Won't Listen
Gym Class Heroes (so I can pick up their guitarist's solo EP "Nine Years Later")
Motion City Soundtrack
Panic! at the Disco
The Shins
Taking Back Sunday
We Are Scientists
Weezer
My Trusted MOGs
D'oh, I hope there's not another addition to the "Fell for them after they broke up" category, but it's possible that Weezer won't do more records. But with psycho Rivers, ya never know.

i have a feeling the bulk of people [with any sense] think that mcr should be opening for muse... i've seen gym class heroes, two falls ago before i knew any of their stuff- it was a "hardcore" show [emery, as cities burn, heislegend] and they were fun to throw in teh mix. on NPR's website you can find a bloc party set from the 9:30 club that's pretty good and as for panic..beh..but hey, to each his own!
have a great one!

The MCR and Muse show seems like it should be really great! The closest they are coming to here is a 3 hour drive away. I haven't seen any of the bands on you list either, but I got tickets for Bloc Party in March. Hopefully they don't cancel again. Enjoy your show.
