Having heard rumours throughout the day that MCR are going to be bottled off, I'm wading through the prone bodies, the mess and the half eaten dinners as quickly as I can, to make it to the main stage in time to watch all the fun!
From where I'm standing (well back in case it all kicks off), it's a bit of a half-hearted attempt, not so much a hail of bottles, more some sporadic attempts by the dissenters to launch water bottles as far as the stage. Singer Gerard Way still has a rant about it though, screaming at the crowd "we might be the outsiders here, but we make music for outsiders, not you lame motherf*****s!" To which, one wag standing next to me shouts 'but you can't bl**dy sing!"
All highly amusing, which helps, as MCR's generic, made-for-MTV post hardcore rock has never interested me very much anyway. As I make it back to the press tent, I hear that one of our Radio 1 colleagues has reported that MCR have been bottled pretty badly - I guess if you're underneath it all, it can get a bit scary!
