No I don't get it at all, a lot of his statements are just kind of weird and contradictory. I think it's obvious he got a really specific view of the band from 2007 (for whatever reason) and it stuck with him.
But as he says, the show wasn't bad it just didn't live up to the performance he saw. Which I guess is fair but then a lot of things he talks about just smack of not even understanding the new album or even hearing it (he talks about the "weird quotes" which are from the album/video)? Which to me, is just not the way to go into a show.
And yeah in 2007 MCR WERE HUGE. You could not escape them and the set was polished and impeccable and shiny, it was certainly not raw. And the Black Parade tour was also about promoting a new album, it was all about the new album. Just as this one is. So just...to me it's the case of someone not liking the new album or not hearing it and expecting The Black Parade again.
