My Chemical Romance Pours It On

" It was a night for frontmen to shine, as Provo rock band Neon Trees opened, with mohawked lead singer Tyler Glenn showing the charismatic stage presence of an experienced rocker, swinging the mic like Roger Daltrey and openly emoting on his knees. Unfortunately, as Glenn explained from the stage, the band was late getting to the show because they had just flown in. As a result, they were limited to a five-song, 20-minute set. The quartet played Sins of My Youth, 1983, In the Next Room, Your Surrender and closed with their 2010 radio hit Animal.

But both Gerard Way and Glenn illustrated that when you have good hair and unbridled energy, who needs pyrotechnics? "
