Watch My Chemical Romance play ‘The Light Behind Your Eyes’ live for the first time and dedicate ‘Boy Division’ to Everytime I Die’s Andy Williams in Phoenix

NME · 11 hours ago

My Chemical Romance played the emo B-side 'The Light Behind Your Eyes' live for the very first time during their show in Phoenix on 7 September, as part of the North American leg of their 'Long Live The Black Parade' anniversary tour. The band also dedicated their performance of 'Boy Division' to former Every Time I Die guitarist and professional wrestler Andy Williams, who died over the weekend after collapsing at a wrestling event in Pennsylvania, honouring him by his wrestling name "The Butcher".

Both tracks originate from 2013's 'Conventional Weapons' EP, a collection of unreleased material predating 'Danger Days'. Frontman Gerard Way dedicated 'The Light Behind Your Eyes', which featured Scarlet Ending's Kayleigh Goldsworthy on strings, to his daughter, describing it as something he'd want to leave for her. The tour has seen several rare live debuts recently, including 'Bulletproof Heart', 'AMBULANCE' and 'Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back', with the band's Anfield stadium show earlier receiving a five-star review from NME.
