Your POV:

We just finished playing "Give em Hell, Kid" and I'm already having a blast.

"How are you doing tonight Pittsburgh?!" Gee shouts into the microphone. The crowd cheers a decent amount but not enough for Gerard's liking.

"I can't hear you! How the fuck are you doing tonight Pittsburgh?!"

This time, the venue exploded with cheers.

Gee smiles with pride before asking "are you guys ready for the next song?!" The audience whoops and hollers.

Everyone starts playing the beginning of "Thank You For The Venom" He waits twenty seconds before coming in with his vocals as the instruments stop for a few short seconds.

Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on
And on
And on
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on
And on
And on
And on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like, bleeding on the floor
The floor
The floor
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent sun
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one,
And one,
And one,
And one
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You want to follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
So give me all your poison
And give me all your pills
And give me all your hopeless hearts
And make me ill
You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will

The final note fades out and Gee starts entertaining the crowd as usual before the next song, Cemetery Drive.

I start drumming and then Gerard begins to sing.

This night, walk the dead in a solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates
Way down, mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us
Drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor
I miss you
I miss you, so far
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
Back home, off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn't that much fun?
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying
If you want, I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you
I miss you, so far
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard

I look over to the right and see Mikey running around the stage. He looks like he's having fun but then he falls over. His left foot got caught on a cord attached to his amp, causing him to trip.

Mikey continues to play his bass while laying flat on his back.

Gee notices that his brother has fallen over and sings while walking over to Mikey.

Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down

I laugh to myself as I continue playing my drums. Ray walks over from stage left when Gee returns to his spot.

"You alright?" I hear him ask Mikey.

"Yep!" Mikey shouts back before standing up.

Mikey notices me laughing at him and flips me off jokingly before going back to his bass playing.

I miss you
I miss you, so far
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
When will I miss you?
When will I miss you so far?
And the collision of your kiss
That made it so hard
That made it so hard
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down

"Thank you for the amazing fuckin night, Pittsburgh! We are My Chemical Romance and you all rock!" Gee shouts into the microphone before the lights go out and we all exit the stage.

"You guys killed it out there!" Brian says as we walk backstage.

Frank chuckles and says "Hell yeah we did."

"Do you guys want to go get some drinks?" Gee asks "There's a bar nearby that's apparently the best"

"Yeah, why not?" I smile

"I second that" Frank says with a grin "gotta let loose sometimes"

"Are you two coming?" I ask Ray and Mikey

"Yep!" they both respond at the same time
