“I think they have a really beautiful sense of where they came from and what it means to them to be artists”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

If you didn’t already know, Thursday<\/strong> and My Chemical Romance<\/strong> go waaaaaay back.<\/p>\n

Frontman Geoff Rickly even produced the band’s debut ‘I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love’!<\/p>\n

Well it only seemed right that when MCR came back properly at their incredible show at The Shrine in LA, Thursday were the only band who should be opening. <\/p>\n

In our latest Video Call, we asked Geoff what it was like to be a part of that special night:<\/p>\n

“It really was a crazy night. Being asked to play it first of all was so touching because one thing about the My Chemical Romance guys is that they\u2019re still in a lot of ways the same people as when we worked on that first record and when we first became friends. They\u2019re more confident as artists now and that\u2019s great, but just the fact that they never forget stuff. Like \u2018Oh, you\u2019re the one who helped us get started so we want you to be a part of us restarting\u2019. I think they have a really beautiful sense of where they came from and what it means to them to be artists. To be arguably the biggest band in the world and still operate like a small mom and pop local business or something. I really appreciate that about them.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The night itself was pretty crazy. I hadn\u2019t seen them in like a decade or something and I wanted to see them more than I wanted to play, which makes it weird too. There\u2019s this huge crowd there, the biggest crowd we\u2019ve played to all year, and they\u2019re not there to be won over. They\u2019re there to get to the main event. It wasn\u2019t like \u2018Let\u2019s go give it our all and earn a bunch of new fans\u2019. It was \u2018we\u2019re here to do our part and we\u2019re here to watch My Chem’.”<\/em><\/p>\n
