His brother Mikey pointed out the banner to Gerard, who told the crowd that he\u2019d never played the hit fantasy role-playing game. \u201cI\u2019ve only played <i>Baldur\u2019s Gate 1<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gerard talking about Baldur\u2019s Gate at Wembley Stadium night three pic.twitter.com\/j8nPveQr2k<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ali (@Justdip) July 13, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNot that I probably wouldn\u2019t have liked<i> 2<\/i> and<i> 3<\/i>.

Because we didn\u2019t think to write that. Did you play <i>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/i>,\u201d Gerard then asked the fan. \u201cIs it good? I would assume so. That first one was a lot of fun. It was the closest thing at the time to playing <i>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/i>.\u201d Later, the fan shared a TikTok video showing their POV of the interaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katanaluciana\/video\/7661439271026396438\" data-video-id=\"7661439271026396438\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\">\n<section> @katanaluciana <\/p>\n<p>Astarion x Dark urge brain rot strikes again at the my chemical romance show.

He was responsible for so much of Games Workshop and <em>Warhammer<\/em>,\u201d said Gerard. \u201cTowards the end, the last couple of years, people really started to recognise this guy and it was amazing. I want this really, really horrific, nasty, spooky song to go out to him,\u201d he added, before the band played debut album cut \u2018Vampires Will Never Hurt You\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>My Chemical Romance have two shows left of the European leg of their \u2018Long Live The Black Parade\u2019 world tour.

His brother Mikey pointed out the banner to Gerard, who told the crowd that he\u2019d never played the hit fantasy role-playing game. \u201cI\u2019ve only played <i>Baldur\u2019s Gate 1<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gerard talking about Baldur\u2019s Gate at Wembley Stadium night three pic.twitter.com\/j8nPveQr2k<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ali (@Justdip) July 13, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNot that I probably wouldn\u2019t have liked<i> 2<\/i> and<i> 3<\/i>. I did play the <i>Icewind Dale<\/i> expansion, but I just ran out of time,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s a sick sign. You know why we answered that? Because we didn\u2019t think to write that. Did you play <i>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/i>,\u201d Gerard then asked the fan. \u201cIs it good? I would assume so. That first one was a lot of fun. It was the closest thing at the time to playing <i>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/i>.\u201d Later, the fan shared a TikTok video showing their POV of the interaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@katanaluciana\/video\/7661439271026396438\" data-video-id=\"7661439271026396438\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\">\n<section> @katanaluciana <\/p>\n<p>Astarion x Dark urge brain rot strikes again at the my chemical romance show.

He was responsible for so much of Games Workshop and <em>Warhammer<\/em>,\u201d said Gerard. \u201cTowards the end, the last couple of years, people really started to recognise this guy and it was amazing. I want this really, really horrific, nasty, spooky song to go out to him,\u201d he added, before the band played debut album cut \u2018Vampires Will Never Hurt You\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>My Chemical Romance have two shows left of the European leg of their \u2018Long Live The Black Parade\u2019 world tour.
