"This is the biggest honor we've ever had," said Gerard Way, frontman of My Chemical Romance, while opening for Bon Jovi tonight at Newark's Prudential Center.
Though the band's music is as dark and twisted as Bon Jovi's is upbeat and hopeful, the black-clad Belleville native said he is a longtime Bon Jovi fan, and that he sings an "amazing" karaoke version of Bon Jovi's signature song, "Livin' On a Prayer."
The Prudential Center is "beautiful and amazing," he said.
My Chemical Romance took the stage a few minutes after the scheduled starting time of 7:30 p.m., and presented a tight, energetic, glitch-free set, rocking hard on songs like "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Welcome To the Black Parade," and delivering "Teenagers" and "Mama" with a theatrical, almost vaudevillian sense of fun.
Many seats were still empty as the band started, since countless people were still eating and drinking at the arena's many food stands and restaurants. But by the end of the set virtually every seat was taken.
