Review: "As My Chemical Romance walked onto the stage, there were no large curtains shielding them from view.
Frontman Gerard Way was not wheeled out on a gurney, clad in a hospital gown with an IV in his arm.
In fact, no member of the band was in a costume.
Instead, the band was shorn of most of the theatrics that adorned them during their last tour, The Black Parade Tour.
On Friday night at In The Venue in Salt Lake City, the New Jersey-bred rock band signaled that they were going back to basics, ready to reclaim their status as one of the most dynamic rock bands in North America.
And they did.
Headlining the sold-out venue, the red-headed Way and his cohorts delivered a blazing set that showed that they did not need to use bells and whistles to put on an entertaining show. All they needed were solid, sing-along anthems about outcasts that the young audience identified with, along with a healthy dose of star power.
Besides strobe lights and four large V’s that were lit up behind them, the stage was bare except for an oversized American flag that was marked with the image of a menacing insect, identical to the one that adorns the band’s most recent album, “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.”
