(Video) My Chemical Romance To Return To Malaysia? Fans Notice Mysterious Billboard Ads In KL
Ever since My Chemical Romance (MCR) reunited to headline the When We Were Young music festival in Las Vegas last year, Malaysian fans have been manifesting the band's return to Kuala Lumpur. The last time they performed here was back in 2007 at Stadium Merdeka, where over 10,000 fans sang along to their songs at the top of their lungs. Previously, there have been hints that local concert organisers were working to bring the Grammy-nominated band back to our shores, but until now, nothing had been confirmed. That is, until fans recently began noticing something unusual projected onto billboards around the city. Here's what they saw: Over the weekend, a fan posted on both his TikTok and Twitter accounts about something he encountered while out in Bukit Bintang. In the video, he captured a large digital billboard above the McDonald's outlet briefly displaying the words 'Malaysia, are you okay?' alongside an image of a rose, before switching back to the regular advertisements. Another internet user spotted the same mysterious display on a digital billboard at the side of the road in Bangsar. For context, the rose is strongly associated with MCR, having appeared in the band's merchandise and music videos. With this in mind, the cryptic billboard ads have led many to believe that the 'Welcome to the Black Parade' artists could be performing in Malaysia later this year or in 2026. Many MCR fans reacted to the videos with hopeful excitement, saying they've been waiting nearly two decades for the band's return. Others remain sceptical, speculating that it might be a tribute concert rather than the real thing. A few have suggested that the ads may have nothing to do with MCR at all, noting that the rose alone isn't definitive proof. However, some of the biggest hints pointing to a potential concert include the fact that the band will be embarking on their North American tour, raising the possibility of dates being added in other regions. Warner Music Malaysia have also been sharing nostalgic throwbacks to MCR's music on its Instagram account, drawing more interest. Do you think the group will be coming to Malaysia? We can only hope so. Guess we'll have to wait and see if the rumours are true. Here are the viral clips: Sources: TikTok (1)(2)(3), Twitter (1)(2) What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

MCR Oil Tools Announces PHMSA Confirmation of Non-Explosive, Non-Hazmat Status For Shipment Of Its Thermite Tools
ARLINGTON, Texas, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MCR Oil Tools announced approval from PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration), a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, to transport the company's renowned thermite-based Radial Cutting Torches (RCT) as non-hazardous. The RCT is used worldwide for severing oil well pipe in pipe retrieval work on land and in deep water situations. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in July 2024 that PHMSA had in 2022 arbitrarily and capriciously designated MCR's Radial Cutting Torches (RCT's) as "explosives" without justification, apparently relying solely upon complaints from competitors. These complaints ignored factual evidence including test results from PHMSA's own thermite study as well as those from their own designated test labs. MCR tools have a pristine safety record of more than 40 years of global shipping without a single safety incident. And the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the MCR thermite classification to PHMSA in October 2024 for further consideration. The PHMSA classification from 2022 is problematic in that hazardous and flammable materials can encounter shipping delays and require a notably greater amount of administrative paperwork which combine to increase costs for MCR and the oil and gas industry more broadly. PHMSA's authorization for MCR to ship its RCTs as non-explosive and non-hazardous recognizes the truly safe nature of MCR's technology and simplifies the continued distribution of MCR Torches to oil and gas producers and service firms around the world. Mike Robertson, Founder and C.E.O. of MCR Oil Tools, stated "We are pleased with the outcome of this lengthy and difficult period of struggle with PHMSA concerning the correct classification for our tools. We have always maintained product safety and will continue to do so while providing the most efficient pipe cutting technology for the energy industry." Mr. Robertson also stressed that PHMA's decision approving MCR to ship its RCT as non-hazmat vindicated the efforts of the company in the interest of its dozens of Licensees as well as the hundreds of producer customers around the world. MCR intends to rely upon the Fifth Circuit decision as well as the recent PHMSA action to pursue those who leveled false accusations against its proven safe tools.
