My Chemical Romance introduced out Billy Corgan as a shock visitor throughout their live performance at Chicago’s Soldier Area on Friday evening, welcoming the Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman to hitch them for a efficiency of “Bullet With Butterfly Wing.”
In introducing Corgan, MCR frontman Gerard Means mentioned seeing Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Unhappiness tour impressed his personal pursuit of music. “We noticed that and was like, ‘We might love to do that, it could be actual fucking wonderful.” Talking particularly of Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie anthem “Bullet With Butterfly Wing,” Means added, “This music is the final word rock defiance to me, it’s like searing an imprint on the universe in pure fucking defiance. It’s the greatest rock n’ roll music ever fucking made.”
Keep tuned for our full evaluation of MCR’s live performance at Soldier Area. The band has two extra dates on its “Black Parade” at Boston’s Fenway Park and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa going down in September (get tickets right here).
