@Warhead14 You know, I think it's situational. There are some songs they do that sound great live, but others are, quite frankly, terrible. Have you heard The Sharpest Lives at their Black Parade finale show in Mexico? Sharpest Lives was the first song I got in to by them, and he butchered it there, if you ask me. As for this particular performance of Cancer, I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but it is good.
This is my favorite live Cancer: /watch?v=uKzv8K7jokQ
To be completely honest, I don't much care for him live. He's wonderful in studio recordings, and the music itself sounds good in gigs, but he always sounds out of breath and everything seems to be a chore for him.
Then again, these are difficult songs to be performing, so I can't really blame him for being sloppy. I guess it's just a matter of preference, and everybody here likes it. That's what matters to me. MCR is a great band.
@imabluekindaguy just wondering, when does he seem out of breath/straining to do something? do you mean in this song, this set, or in general? im not all touchy or antyhing, im just curious. this, in my opinion, was one of his best performances.
I'm no doctor but i think if he quit smoking he may be better off in his performances...

Ok, every time I hear this exactly live performance of Cancer, it makes me cry.
I break down in the part where he says: "Thank you guys for being in this band".
Meaningful.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
MCR is, hands down, the best band in all fucking existence.
