MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE PONDERS NEW STAGING FOR PROJEKT REV?

My Chemical Romance is just one of many bands who depend on the visual experience, and they discuss with the media and Linkin Park their production plans.

My Chemical Romance is pondering new staging for The Black Parade for its appearance on Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution this summer.

At the press conference launching the tour earlier this month, we asked My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way about what kind of production they can bring on Projekt Revolution.

[Way] “These guys have been so accommodating to us. They’re letting us bring whatever we want, which is amazing. We’re just trying to figure out the quickest way to do that. We’re going to try to bring as much as what we’ve been doing in the arenas right now to this show, but maybe in a… We definitely want to change up the aesthetics of it, how it looks to fans.” [Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda] “Are you guys gonna bring fire?! That would be awesome!” [Way] (turning to Shinoda) “Thanks! Actually we started trying to ask them what they’re doing so we don’t do the same thing.”

Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington added to those comments supporting the creative show ideas of the tour’s line-up.

“Even if we had the same pyro company with the same guys doing the same thing, it wouldn’t really matter. One of the things that we really encourage is for everyone to put on the show that they want to put on. Most of the bands are playing during the day so it’s going to effect their production to a certain degree, but still it’s open. We all have such different visions for how we want to appear and to the aesthetic behind the band. I really think it’s going to be so all over the place that it’s not going to matter if we have fire and they have fire, but at the same time we do want to pay attention to what we’re doing so that we do try and keep it a little different — as much diversity as possible.”

Projekt Revolution starts Friday July 27 in Marysville, California, and it also features Taking Back Sunday, Placebo, H.I.M., Saosin, and others. Tickets for the tour went on sale this weekend, and can be bought through normal ticket outlets. One dollar from each ticket will be donated to Music For Relief and American Forests’ Global ReLeaf program.
