"I'm embarassed to be me because these people are doing a really sad, pitiful, shallow version of what I've done."
- Marilyn Manson on My Chemical Romance
Well we're going to see Muse tomorrow.
I'm still pretty hacked off about
My Chemical Romance (read: having to see said band) on Sunday. I'm not a fan of support acts, especially 'well-established' ones such as the leaders of the emo race that have come to steal your soul.
I'm going to Wembley to see my favourite band play their biggest show so far and I really, really have no interest in seeing MCR, The Streets or whoever else. The problem is, if we go in late then we're screwed equally.
My question is, are support acts just a way of paying for bands we'd never choose to see in a million years? (May I take this moment to remind all those attending Wembley last year of The Noisettes?) I genuinely begrudge paying to see MCR. Because really, that's what I'm doing. I'd very much like to give the money to Muse and only Muse.
I already feel a little tinge of dissapointment, a little cloud on the horizon of having to deal with all the support fodder before the main event. I know Muse will be amazing, they always are. But I really, really don't want to stand there for hours and hours in an ideal world.
I know it'll be worth it in the long run.
See you in two days.
