[Watch] My Chemical Romance Joined By Brian May At Reading Festival

With Festivals and big shows their tends to be a lot of collaborations that may not normally happen under normal circumstances, and this was one of this weekends. Brian May of Queen joined My Chemical Romance on stage to help them perform "Welcome To The Black Parade" and "We Will Rock You", the former of which is viewable at the top via Youtube user 111Cazza. According to NME the unlikely pairing came about when Gerard sent Brian an email saying: 

"I wrote an email to Brian after getting his email off [producer] Rob Cavallo. There was this story that you played a show in Paris and got booed off and Freddie said, 'We’re gonna come back and be the biggest band in the world'. And after what happened to us at Reading in 2006 [when they were bottled], people would ask us, 'Are you gonna do that again? [play the festival]' and I’d go, 'Not unless we're headlining it.'"

Turns out MCR were asked to headline it this year and, well, you can see the results for yourself at the top.

[Listen] My Chemical Romance - "Common People" (Pulp Cover) on Radio One's Live Lounge

I remember a few years back when My Chemical Romance first shot to fame and did a cover of Blur's "Song 2" and it was better than you would of expected. Today they popped by Fearne Cotton's show to chat about them playing below Lady Gaga at this years Big Weekend in Carlisle and after the general chit chat they got down to business and performed a cover. The New Jersey boys must have a thing for Brit Pop as this time around they covered the classic from Pulp, "Common People". Check it out below in all of its glory. A pretty damn good cover and that's coming from a brit. Credit where credit is due.

[News] Radio One's Big Weekend Main Stage Lineup Revealed; Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Lady Gaga...

Every year Radio One put on their 'Big Weekend' at which a range of artists play slots to fans all who have won tickets for the event. I personally won tickets one year and the atmosphere is great due to everyone having a free weekend watching some great bands it truly is a little bit special. You may not like the entire lineup due to it being mainly Radio One plugged artists, and we wouldn't blame you. However with the amount of bands set to play there's always a stage to enjoy something at.

This year they announced, literally within the past hour, that Foo Fighters would be headlining the Saturday, with My Chemical Romance topping the bill on the Sunday. Then throughout both days on the main stage there's the likes of Tinie Tempah, Plan B, Chase and Status, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Black Eyed Peas, Nicole Sherzinger, Professor Green, Katy B, The Wombats, The Script along with a few others. That's just the main stage, throughout the week the other stages will be announced on numerous Radio One shows so keep your eyes peeled as we'll update this as and when. You can see the announced line up so far over here. Tickets are often given out in a raffle style way, or to loyal listeners of Radio One, and you enter competitions and what not. It's hard to get tickets but it's definitely worth a shot for a weekend full of free music. For now why not enjoy some footage of Muse playing the weekend a few years back.

UPDATE: Lady Gaga has just been announced too! For a free festival some of its performers rival those of major UK festivals. Just sayin'.
