THE rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR) has always enjoyed great response from the Malaysian crowd and the recent ticket sales for its April 30 2026 Kuala Lumpur leg of the MCR south-east Asia tour proves it again.
A whopping 60,000 tickets were sold out online within hours, but that is only part of the picture. Fans were complaining about resellers buying tickets in bulk as well as high processing fees.
But is it really necessary for the fans to go through all the trouble when we have some local talents capable of impersonating members of the band with their side-splitting lip sync?
In a recent video post on X, an uncle with some missing teeth could be seen lip syncing the song, “When I was a young boy,” very convincingly.

Even more hilarious was the fact that the video revolved around his everyday working life where he could be seen laying bricks while his colleagues trounced about.
According to netizen @jllmisai who posted the video, it was specially made for those fans out there who failed to get a ticket for the concert. Unsurprisingly, netizens were tickled pink by the uncle’s antics.
A healthy dose of creativity and innovation sure go a long way towards turning the ordinary into extraordinary.
On another note, is there a second chance for MCR fans to get more tickets? A recent article by the Malay Mail highlighted an announcement from organiser, Hello Universe Malaysia, which said, “Malaysia, we hear you. The march is not over.”
Fans are wondering what the organiser meant by that statement. Would there be more seats opened for the standing area?
No one could tell. But for now, we can simply enjoy the lip-sync from our brick-laying uncle and his friends. —July 14, 2025
