Live Review: My Chemical Romance, The Blackout and LostAlone - Capital FM Arena, Nottingham - 19/2/2011
Posted on AlterThePress.com in February 2011.
Whilst previous tours has been built around the bands theatrics, My Chemical Romance have took a regular rock show approach this time round and the bands tour support emphasis this point.LostAlone have the somewhat difficult position of opening, however with a packed out arena, the bands classic-rock influenced style comes across well with riffs that suit the setting and on the whole leave a good impression.
The Blackout step up to the plate of playing in an arena setting in abundance, with their set list consisting of old tracks such as ‘It’s High Tide Baby’, ‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things (I Don’t Care)’ and ‘Children of the Night’ and newer numbers like ‘Ambition Is Critical’. As always frontmen Sean Smith and Gavin Butler bounce off each other very well, both vocally and charisma; something that especially adds to the bands set. Overall an pleasing set that exceeds expectations and deservedly warms up the crowd for the headliners.
