ETA: here's what he actually said:

"That was wonderful thank you. That was healing for me, in a way only crystals can provide. I like dancing to that, you know what i mean? Like [makes a silly noise] getting all like a um what is it a wet, wet noodle or something? Like a water pool noodle? Like a fuckin pool noodle man"

Anyone have a video (or link to one) of gerard talking after destroya, he was talking about how healing it was to sing it and i remember whatever he said was beautiful and really relatable for me but i didn't record it because i was living in the moment lol. I'd love to have a video so I can listen to exactly what he said. TYIA!

(Gerard pic for tax!!!)

But here's the front of my shirt for the Minneapolis show at Target field! I'm stupid pumped see them for the first time AND be in pit! Who else will be there early to line up?

Leeds UK cat charity (Cat Action Trust 1977 Leeds) has 4 kittens up for adoption named after the MCR band members!

I took a ton of pictures, but for the sake of not being repetitive, I thought I'd share these in particular. From last night in DC.

This show was absolutely amazing. The energy of the crowd was so GOOD and respectful. It’s like we were all coming to cross something off our life long bucket list. Everyone was so on theme with outfits too🖤❤️ very emotional for me. This really felt once in a lifetime.

MCR is my favorite band of all time. I still remember buying the Bullets CD from FYE and eventually owning MCR posters, shirts, hoodies, pens, pencils, notebooks, sketchbooks, folders, binders, and backpacks. I even went to the mall and made a custom-engraved dog tag with the word "MCRmy"

So, obviously I was going hard from the second The End. started. At the very end of The Sharpest Lives, someone who appeared to work for MCR's marketing/social media team (had a lanyard/pass, the whole aesthetic) saw how energetic/passionate I was and handed me a vinyl for a photo. I've seen Instagram Reels of tours where it's a compilation of fans holding the same specific object. So, I posed for the photo and tried to hand the vinyl back, not thinking too much about it. Then she said, "no, it's for you. You get to keep it" and pointed directly at the signatures

This was my 4th show of the tour (I went to Seattle [tour debut], MetLife/Jersey, and Philly on the 1st Leg) and had no idea this was something they were doing. It was one of the rare moments in my life I was completely speechless, in awe, and frozen. This is now my 2nd most prized possession!! (only after my grandpa's ashes in a small urn)

Found the graphic for the DC show exclusive poster, i’m willing to scan it and send it to everyone interested if this is different somehow :)

If you were at the dc show yesterday around the home plate gate for the 2nd trading event you miiiight have saw me faint and have a seizure — and sadly I ended up going to the hospital and missed the show completely! 😭😓 I didn’t get any pics there so I just wanted to show off my “summer friendly” nurse Sylvia costume and the cool things I got for trading while I was there!! I don’t remember a ton about what happened after the episode but I do remember seeing a lot of awesome costumes and meeting super kind people. I remember a few girls staying next to me until the medics came and I appreciate you guys so so much you don’t even know. I’ve never had a seizure before so we were worried; I’m covered in scrapes, have a busted lip, and prob a few bruises soon but I’m good. And even though 14 y/o me would disagree it’s better to make sure you’re ok over seeing mcr! (I think?)😖

Genuinely one of the best crowds I’ve ever been a part of. Thank you everyone who was there for making it such a special experience

Does the last paragraph mean they might be recording the concert? Maybe I'm just dumb and missed something lol but I thought the email was a nice touch

(Sign is not official, hopefully this post won’t get taken down by mods like the ya0i sign one did)

Hey everyone—before you tell me Maroon 5 sucks, I *know*. Some people like them, but for most, it’s just about their radio hits or being sick of how overplayed their songs are. But strangely enough—and I say this from personal experience—*Songs About Jane* is undoubtedly (and unanimously) the only good thing they’ve ever done. I think it had a blend of organic elements—funk, groove, rock, and touches of pop—that was far superior to what they do now. Plus, like I said, it’s an album I absolutely loved and used to have on repeat as a teenager. I stopped listening after that—let's just say I realized how pathetic Adam Levine was. I suppose that hatred, combined with the fact that they essentially started churning out shitty songs—even if tracks like "Payphone" and "Sugar" have a bit of nostalgia—turned me off. Nowadays, I feel like it’s basically just Adam Levine and his friends.

To each their own, of course. Like I said, I stopped listening after the first album, and when I gave them another chance later on, their sound struck me as similar to Imagine Dragons—which is not a compliment thought everybody could give they opinions.
