REVIEW [excerpt]: Notes on My Chemical Romance, Band of Horses, the food and more at Voodoo Fest

"...The best band costume this year was My Chemical Romance on Friday. MCR rocked a medieval theme. Singer Gerard Way sported faux-chain mail. (At least one observer wondered if this was a costume, or the Goth-minded Way’s normal stage attire.) The keyboardist dressed as a king."



"...Next time, they might spend more time fine-tuning their sound. The muddy mix during My Chemical Romance’s set on the main stage was particularly unkind; Way’s vocals were buried. He and his cohorts raged against the machine in a set that suffered from the limitations of the band’s catalog. A final “The Black Parade” indicated what they might be capable of if the rest of the catalog lived up to that higher standard."

"... Some parts of the festival were family friendly, but others most decidedly are not. For instance, kids probably should have avoided local rapper Cheeky Blakk’s graphic dance instructions during a bounce showcase Saturday at the Bingo Parlor. Or Snoop Dogg’s entire set. Or the string of profanities unleashed by My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way, Social Distortion’s Mike Ness and Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell. Gentlemen, dropping multiple f-bombs is not edgy. In a setting with a Ferris wheel, it’s unfortunate."
