I went with Stu and Kent to see "My
Chemical Romance" and "Muse" play at Wembley Stadium yesterday. I must
admit, I mainly went there just to check out the new stadium!
Here's Kent and Stu. Stu's pretending to me
an "EMO"
in this pic, slitting his wrists with his keys:
Not being totally up to date with what the
cool teenage kids are calling themselves these days, Stu had to explain to
me that Emo stands for Emotional and basically it's kids who dress in black
and do stuff like
wear red eye makeup to make it look like they're crying blood. They go about
cutting themselves and trying to commit suicide to be stylish.
I learned that Emo's are not the same as
Elmo or
Emu's and
offence can be caused if you refer to Emo's as such.
Stu also provided me with a couple of
links, one being a
news
article about Emo's and the other, a rather amusing clip about
how to be Emo..
All I know is that I found it rather
amusing when Stu said he saw a T-Shirt with the slogan: "I which my lawn was
Emo, so it would cut itself".
Anyway, here is the outside of the new
Wembley Stadium, with its glorious arch:
...the view across London from inside...
...and the rather breath taking view
inside. Lets just say it's freaken big and this pic doesn't really do it
much justice:
Here's a few pics of My Chemical Romance
and Muse playing:
I also found out that My Chemical Romance
is the band that all the Elmo's, Emu's,
Emo's listen too and we were expecting to see puddles of red blood on the
white floor at the end of the concert, but there were none.
Muse's stage performance was pretty darn
cool:
The base of the arch at night:
And Wembley Stadium all lit up:
We also found out that the best way to get
home is to head towards Wembley Central station and go in to the Bakerloo
line heading North to skip all the queues. The north and south entrance both
meet up at the same place...
