MCR deny encore, give away tickets through Buzznet


Are My Chemical Romance fans in the Philippines not enthusiastic enough for Gerard Way's liking? That's what it sounds like, judging from a review published in the Manila Standard Today, a newspaper based in the country's capital.

Oh, sure, the whole "I can't hear you!" bit seems to be a standard stage antic for just about any rock band, but according to the paper, MCR denied fans an encore even though the audience screamed for more at the end.

What say you, My Chem fans? Was an encore deliberately not in the setlist, or was it a "tsk tsk" for an underwhelming audience reaction?

Either way, MCR are indisputably generous in some ways—Buzznet is doing a really quick and easy contest for MCR tix in select cities.

We're giving away a pair of tickets to the following shows:
3/31 Las Vegas, NV
4/2 San Jose, CA
4/9 Portland, OR
4/11 Salt Lake City, UT
4/15 Kansas City, KS
4/30 Birmingham, AL
5/4 Columbus, OH

Deadline to enter is March 24th, so hurry! And be ready to get loud and rowdy!

Jeez. You would think they would do at least one more song. But the crowd and the reviewer doesn't really know what is going through Gerard's head, so you never know what could have went down. But I really hope they weren't just being mean.

Well, you can't really blame them! Not everband can do encores,you know. It's probably nothing personal

There are alot of things that could have happned that caused them to not give an encore. We ALL know Frank gets hurt. Easily. Maybe thats what happened and he wasn't feeling well. Or maybe a number of other things. We don't know, but I HIGHLY doubt they just -wouldn't- come back out for -no- reason.

Anywho. Congrats Frankie and Jamia! And thank you boys for choosing to come to Memphis aka Hell on Earth. It really means alot to us fans out here. And to everyone who lives somewhere else and can't make it to a show, remember that they haven't announced all the dates yet. Keep your hopes up. ^^

MCRmy FOREVER!

True. I think I've gotten so used to the headlining band doing encores that I would feel a little robbed if they didn't, thoug, know what I mean?

FYI, they NEVER do encores.

Never.

So don't get your panties in a bunch.

When they came to the UK last March we were lucky enough to get an encore so I imagine I'd be slightly annoyed.

WAT ABOUT MEXICO???? They're koming wit the smashing pumpkinz!!! and I don't hav tikets...

Guys, seriously. They're on a really tight schedule. If they were to do an encore at every concert, they wouldn't get anything done! They have planes to catch, so they can go play in other places. Give the guys a break.
