Reader Courtney was gracious enough to send us a butt load of pics from the 12/4 Leathermouth/MSI concert. Below are her photos and her review!
Thanks Courtney!
Review By Courtney
Before the show started, my friend (also named Courtney) and I waited by the leathermouth merch to buy a shirt to wear throughout the concert. Leathermouth was running late, so after eavesdropping on a couple of people’s conversation about how they met MCR way back before they were famous. Court and I tried to squeeze up through the right side of the pit, we pissed off countless people, then realized that the people at the front weren’t budging, so we made our way through to the left side. We ended up getting pretty close.
Finally, after what seemed like forever in my excitement and anticipation to see Frank Iero, Tubring ended, they packed up, and leathermouth and their stage crew started setting up. I asked the girl in front of me, who was dressed as lyn-z, if she cared about seeing leathermouth that much, and she said that she was there for MSI and let me go in front of her. When Frank came on to put a flag over an amp, I yelled “hi Frank!” over the music playing on the speaker next to me, he turned and looked and we made eye contact, he smiled. Then the show started. Since I was shorter than the guy in front of me, he let me go in front of him. So that was pretty nice. The show was AMAZING. I was glad to see the mustache gone, because in my opinion he looks more attractive without it, and I was diggin’ the new outfits. Frank threw out his bottle cap to some lucky catcher, dumped out the rest of his water on people, threw out his bottle, and spit on them (I really wouldn’t mind that
)
but I was over too far…
At some point, someone threw a glowstick on the stage and Frank said something like,”you shouldn’t waste these light sticks because the kids in somalia don’t get them.
They probably made them and they didn’t even get one!” It was pretty funny.
They played a new song that Frank said was their first time playing live, called “your friends are full of shit”. It was really fast, I loved it. I got a bit of it
on video, but the sound quality is bad and it cut off at 43 seconds because mycamera blacked out. (The whole concert Frank would be RIGHT in front of me and I
would try to take a picture, but it would just shut off. It was really frustrating.) Frank came over right in front of me at one point, and I didn’t know what to do with myself. All the girls next to me tugged at his shirt, and at the last minute i touched his butt… by accident… XD
Then at the last song, “what’s a pulse got to do with it”, Frank hung on a pipe that was on the ceiling and was over the pit. He tried putting his feet up to hang, but he just couldn’t reach.
I had to leave after leathermouth’s set, because my mom was my ride and she was working the next day, but I was alright with that. When my mom asked how it was, I told her, “that was seriously the best day of my whole life,” and I honestly meant it.
Thanks again Courtney you rock!
