this feels like an archeological discovery
it is.
For real
Darwin
fr xD
Honestly dude. I can’t stop watching it. This very well may be the biggest discovery in mcr fandom history
I was the drummer for Brazil on this tour. We had just played. If you look off the side of the stage you can see us Brazil guys and all the UnderOath guys watching MCRs set periodically. We knew MCR was special. Every guy in each band on the tour were the nicest guys you could ever meet. This tour was a blast. All the bands had a snowball fight after this show, no joke.
do you by chance have anything from mcr of 2001-2003 and if you do, would you sell it?
Right on! Thanks for adding that.
você deve se considerar muito sortudo por jogar com esses caras. sou da inglaterra mas vou fotografar para uma banda em fortaleza na primavera. a cena punk brasileira é adorável.
@@dispresszine leftöver crack
dude that’s so sick i’m glad to see you coming back here
For anybody wondering, this gig took place on December 2nd, 2002! The band played with Brazil and Underoath! 🙂
NO FUCKING WAY! THATS THE DAY I WAS BORN!!!!!!!! :0
Incidentally, it’s exactly two years after Smashing Pumpkins played their “final” show… in Chicago! 🤔
@@spaceyraygun Haha I know, Spacey! I thought that when I figured out the date for this gig! December 2nd is a great day for concerts in Chicago, apparently! 😋
@@spaceyraygun did you knew this video existed?
@@modifidious i was not aware. lovely to see it dusted off and released to the world though!
love that mikey still has a sparkly bass after all these years
its a diff bass the other one fell out of the back of a trailer :/
Yeah different bass that was made for him. That bass he's playing here fell out of a trailer left open on accident on an interstate at a good speed. I think things still worked out pretty well. 💀
One of his sparkling bass are at the Hard Rock cafe in Reykjavik Iceland. Signed by him looks identical to this one don't know what it's doing there.
@@patronsaintofswitchbladefi2944 notice how they said "a", instead of "the"?
“Why are you guys so violent?”
G: “it’s not violence bro it’s aggression. We’re not violent at all” 😇
G: “But we’re packing weapons” 😤
I feel like frank is naked without all his tattoos
This video is almost 20 years old,that’s fucking insane
watching this video while knowing that tonight they’ll play in an arena is making me emotional
is this in a bowling alley? omg kill me I wish I could've been here
@@xEternalXFateX yeah i think it is
I saw them a week ago. Absolutely incredible!
@@xEternalXFateX it sure is, the same bowling alley that Alkaline Trio mentioned in the song “goodbye forever”& had their record release show at for Goddamnit in 1998.
saw them last night. what a crazy time honestly one of the best bands ever
Wow these kids are talented. I’m sure they’ll go somewhere.
they did btw neat joke there buddy 🤣😂
I hope the lead singer doesn't turn gay
Where is their next gig?? I want ro support them.. may could give a little help
I think they all died 😢
Ah hell nah they sound like garbage, the band will dissolve by 2005 you'll see
This show oozes raw punk energy. Seeing the early version of ‘It’s Not a Fashion Statement’ was so sick. The crowd was wild throwing water, snowballs and spitting. Frank’s screams are insane. ‘Vampires will never hurt you’ live is perfect. What an incredible relic and performance shout out mcr, the filmer, and the uploader :p
Right on! I agree. This is the only MCR to me. The demo and 1st album had so much raw energy and hardcore influence. 2nd album was, okay. Everything after was too MTV watered down and lame imo
@@K-ORA "everything after was too MTV watered down and lame" hahahahahahahahahahahaha kid, you're describing the second album. half the album was a pop gimmick contrived and enforced by suits. i'm not okay was just about the most generic, worthless, musically uninspired, and made for MTV song there ever was.
TBP was a mainstream rock album, but it wasn't "watered down" at all.
if you want to succeed in music, you probably shouldn't post such musically ignorant and just plain clueless statements on your main account. lol.
@@psychwardsandSCENE Wow, someone is defensive. Kid? I'm probably older than you. And yes I was describing the second album. You need to read before acting ignorant.
@@K-ORA "there second album was okay. everything after was too mtv watered down and lame imo" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA KID HOW WERE YOU DESCRIBING THE SECOND ALBUM????? do you even comprehend what you wrote? you either stated that everything after the second album was lame, or you fucking implied that okay = watered down and lame. either way, you look like a fucking retard. what's going through your head right now? WTF???
p.s. if you're going to like your own comment, at least wait more than 1.5 minutes...
@@K-ORA I totally agree!!
There's something unreal about watching this amateur band barely anyone has ever heard of belting out these new songs they wrote - song that were such an important part of your early teenage years, nearly two decades ago now - and knowing that just a few years after this video was filmed, they'd be blowing up on MTV and selling out arenas. That 5 years after this was filmed, they'd have have become a household name. That 10-15 years after this was filmed, they'd have become icons for an entire generation of adults looking back on their formative years. That 15-20 years after this was filmed, a whole new generation of kids would be discovering them for the first time and reliving that experience you had all those years ago.
New kids are carrying on!!! ✨️
the camera mostly focusing on frank it's so funny
i remember my parents wouldn't let me go to this show cuz "it was in a bad neighborhood" but i caught them at the metro a couple months later
Frank had no chill back in the days he was like an energizer bunny lol 😂and that girl in the crowd had the hots for all of them.
u have just sent a shockwave thru the mcr fandom u have no idea how much we appreciate it thank u
OMGGG i follow u on insta :D i luv ur art sm
i hate that MCR became a band for people who use the word "fandom"
@@kvltr00 LOL
@@kvltr00 hey, at least the didn’t use that godforsaken word that is ‘bandom’…
@@kvltr00 they were on MTV and radio stations in the 2000s. They've been popular for a while. I don't get what you mean?
6:48 “why is your band so violent?”
“Its not violence bro, it’s just aggression. ”
At 15:54 Gerard gets hit in the neck with a snowball and basically just smiles and moves on no questions asked✨
I think it’s a snowball actually! matt has to clean one off his drum at some point too lol
@@hunter5w6 it’s definitely snow 😅
Ahhhh shit definitely snow😂😂 I was SHOOK at how casually he handled getting egged
"nice"
🤘🏾🖤✌🏾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐thank you MCR
I filmed this video at the Fireside Bowl. Piebald was the headliner if I remember correctly. One of the 1st big tours MCR ever got on.... Glad this footage made its way out to the public, its about damn time.
Do you have any recordings with like, 9 volt heart (if they ever played it), sister to sleep, or even some other deepcuts?
Bless someone for collecting fetus mcr pixels 20 years ago in a BOWLING alley on a MONDAY!!!
I SAW MCR ON A MONDAY LMAO. MAY 16TH 2022
I wish people were bowling in the background, that would make this video even better!
They knew they were going somewhere :)
Idk who wore it better: rays TORO SAUROUS shirt, mikeys glitter bass, otters eraserhead shirt, franks overly baggy jeans or the duct tape wrapped around gerards pants.
Frank reminds me of the stoner skater boys I always tended to crush on. Lol
@@boydfam4436 Same!
it's so rad to see Vampires, 20 years later still closing sets.
2nd song in the encore last week in Tacoma.
I cant believe we're getting new bullets content in the year 2022, thank you!!
TRULY SUCH A BLESSING I love whoever filmed and uploaded this
Wait is that the decay song??
@@Jesenia999 i don't understand the question😅
@@Jesenia999nono this is an old recording. bullets is an album that they made a while back and one for what i’ve seen isn’t played much live apart from these, you’re thinking of the foundations of decay which is their newest song/single
The weirdest thing to me, is that there were bands like this playing shows like this (vfw halls, garages, parties, etc.) across the entire country at the same time. Ya never know who makes it out.
It's just what we used to do man. Good times.
All over jersey and Philly
@@cowpiekiller it’s funny cuz it’s happening now in Nj and Philly again, I’m part of it with my own band so I’m really close to the scene. It’s just cool to see it resurface again.
This isn't just some random bowling alley. This is Fireside Bowl. Look it up.
@@ivangotyokes ok, looked it up.
You can hear Frank's screams even without microphone 😳 what an intimate show
it was actually a pretty common thing for post-hardcore (especially screamo) bands until like 2005 to just scream at the top of their lungs unamplified.
some examples

So funny how he is asking them to crowd closer back then and now he has to ask them to step back.
from what depths of hell did this come from lol
the deepest.. also known as '02
huge win for the no showers community
This is such an amazing find holy shit! Mikey still has his sparkly bass; the one that fell out of the back of their trailer after Frank didn’t close it properly! This would have been *right* before Frank got his scorpion tat because there are pics from later in the month where it’s fresh! AAAHHH HISTORY!
As someone who is about to start a band, this is really inspiring and makes me not wanting to give up.
same here. Have several band projects i wanna get rolling. Just wanna get my vocals down. So i'm also studying Frank when he screams and Gerard too
@@lavenderllamamusic just start playing bud. The quicker you start playing the quicker you will become a better musician. Performing is only something you can learn by performing, so get started
@@pritch3426 you're right! i actually do have a decent voice anyway. even if i didn't, performing and having fun is the way to go regardless. I just gotta find some mates to perform with! thank you (:
Keep going! Trying to write my own music with my band and it’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
I play bass and I wanna be in a band like theirs, I wanna be like them when I grow up
imagine being at one of their early shows. like being able to experience their energy that hasn’t changed a single ounce decades later, up close and talking to them between songs bc they can actually hear you. how raw and personal the early shows must’ve been. envious of elder emos, but soso glad they share their experiences w everyone else
I remember seeing MCR for $8. Man the early days lol
@@diebyflyguy $8?!?!!? omfg you're so luckyyyyyy damnnnn
The elder emos. I really hope thats not a thing lol
@@MegaSuperAwesomeBros 😂
@@MegaSuperAwesomeBros it is, mcr has existed for 20 years
wow thats so crazy, frank didnt even have his scorpion tattoo yet
Omg fr
he got the tat sometime between this set and six days later which is when the first image of him with is is dated to!
As much as I love their arena stuff, the intimacy of these early shows is just unmatched
Usually how it goes for most bands. Once they hit big, you never get that back. I remember seeing them open for The Used in Boston when they were relative unknowns...around 2002-03. My brother loved them and disappeared. I just wanted to see The Used. Who the fuck was MCR?? Low and behold, my brother hung out with them at their van, helped them load out, signed their van even. And to this day, he still holds that as one of his better memories. Wish I had been a little more less music snob back then. I love MCR so much more than The Used now, but still the first The Used album holds a special place.
it seriously is! i feel like no matter the genre, if it's an intimate space, it's always more memorable and amazing. Arena's are great and you can still have fun, but it can't come close to the feeling of a small space like this
Idk man, but I'm pretty sure a My Chemical Romance fan will create the time machine. Just imagining been there and witness this is the motivation needed to do it.
I can't believe i'm hearing fashion statement in what looks like them from when bullets came out? insane it sounded perfect
And they're still standing in the same order as today
2002-2004 emo scene was unmatched.
no fr it’s so unfortunate i was a wack ass baby during that time smh
That’s fcking true. I was there and I can confirm.
I need this video broke down into one frame per minute and then all tatooed in sequence as an arroyo on my back
I will never get tired of seeing Ray's fro in these early videos
It’s giving Zach de la Rocha and I’m digging it lol
Gerard's energy on stage is unmatched
It's crazy seeing a song from Revenge being played in a bowling alley
I can smell this room
I live down the street from Fireside and we walked right past Gerard, but didn't know at the time that was him until we saw MCR at the Congress Theater a short time later and he was talking about Fireside.. If only I had known who they were gonna be..
there is something about gerard way that is so magnetic that even back in these wild ass days, there are people professing their love. amazing.
I want to go back in time and be born wherever this is and have Gerard screaming at my fucking face.
👏 to whomever usurped my claim of earliest recording of deathwish. keep 'em coming!
26:58 I fucking love Mikey's bass here
And here I thought I’d seen it all. This is a fucking treat man
You can smell how bad they probably smell here lmao
You’re so right. It’s absolutely unbelievable. This is some profound footage, for me anyway.
This is so beautiful to watch, they grew so fucking much.
The way he says “that was refreshing” right before Our Lady of Sorrows, after he got splashed? Amazing. What an absolute fucking legend
The more I watch old videos of both MCR and At The Drive-In, the more I notice Gerard and Cedric Bixler-Zavala move the same. The shaking, the crawling, the microphone spins, the jerky movements. So cool
Truly inspirational frontmen of a genre and generation.
i love how Cedric (and Gerard at one point in 2002) had the short hair as well, unlike so many of the other vocalists who had the iconic emo fringe/swoop/whatever, so when they'd jerk around, it looked more like Ian Curtis than anything else.
Goes to show you don't _need_ any specific look to rock out on stage. Just need the charisma and the passion!
omg i knew gerard reminded me of someone in this but couldn't place it. you nailed it, it's cedric
hell yeah, cedric rules
Deathwish has been around way longer than I thought!
It's the 2nd song Gerard wrote after Skylines And Turnstiles
The world is a slightly less shitty place because this exists.
This is the best comment.
It's so easy to forget how fucking mind-blowingly amazing MCR were in the early days! Insane!
I saw them for the first time not too long after this date, they were the most exciting band I'd ever seen live, and they still are today. My favorite band of all time. ❤️
You’re so lucky to of seem them so early !
@@SaffWaffy I definitely think so! I saw them a bunch of times in their earlier days and they're some of my favorite memories ever.
Watching them play Our Lady of Sorrows and knowing that I *SCREAMED* the lyrics last month when I saw them live exactly the way it was intended: like it was 2002 in a Chicago bowling alley 😌🥰
What show were u at?
@@melody6447 the St Paul, MN show :)
@@hollowillow yoooo samee :0
Dude you have no idea the impact you just had on this fandom.
A fucking bowling alley?! I’m all in the feels right
Now they are performing the SAME SONGS in an arena 🥰
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO EMOTIONALLY RECOVER FROM THIS
these guys had NO IDE what was coming and its making me emotional man.
I wonder if this person realizes they literally filmed a super cool piece of history. Like this is a gem fr
The quality is super good for a 2002 show wow
who was sitting on this for 20 years omg

@@sam8404 Hey, sure. I've made this when it was posted, so it doesnt had chapters at time.
Anyway, you're welcome :D
I helped put on the Atlanta show of this tour. I still remember it vividly to this day.
thats so sick
Oh my god they were BABIES
bassline on jack the ripper cover was nuts
So awesome to see a show with Matt, my favorite drummer. Loved his rawness and speed!! All around punk vibes that made those first two albums the gems that they are.
Lotta younger MCR fans gonna learn about the concept of The Scene watching fireside bowl videos
They may be playing a smaller venue but they're were likely a cut above other bands playing similar sized venues. To play with that energy, tightness and musicality takes talent, charisma and passion. It's unsurprisingly someone noticed them.
I am experiencing some kind of psychic damage....an effect of some sort, Absolutely losing my mind.
Love that they closed with Vampires, that's one of my all time favorites by them.
I was JUST thinking about how I’d kill to see a bullets era set and then this is uploaded!! thank you so much!
Hearing them play these songs for the first time ever on their first show back in LA last week was something I’ll never forget. Then I find this gem and it just brings me back to a whole other world of nostalgia. From being a middle school kid seeing the high schoolers wearing their MCR jackets not knowing who they were or what but knowing I wanted to know and being given a burnt CD with bands I didn’t know just lyrics I could google and find and finding their music and others will always be a staple point in my life I will always cherish. Music has and always will save me. This is why I’m alive and why I live. Thank you. Cheers.
“I remember when MCR played in an empty bowling alley in front of 50 people” ok grandpa
Man that early Fashion Statement is amazing. I really hope they do a 20th anniversary deluxe edition of 3 cheers and we get some early demos
when the soundcheck is over and they start playing...... its just absolute ENERGY. WOW

Yo that’s so sick
I saw Our Lady of Sorrows live this year, it’s insane to see the difference nearly 20 years apart.
these guys played their first out of state show ever at a garage in my home town. rip planet of the apes.
Fireside Bowl is legendary! So many awesome bands played there
Oh yeah. Chicago/Midwest scene staple.
Mikey is never gonna beat those allegations (37:10)
A RARE DISCOVERY. you have summoned the fandom thank you
My favorite MCR Era!! RAW!!
Thank you MCR🤘🏾🖤✌🏾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can't wait to watch this and ball my eyeballs out thinking, "I'm just so proud of themmmmmm".
from a bowling alley to sold out arenas.. amazing
i would actually do anything to be at one of these shows, especially with underoath being at this show oh my god
fr mcr and underoath would be perfectt
Thank you so much for posting this I'm so happy to see how much they've grown through out the years and it's amazing to see that Mikey till has his bass and ghat frank doesn't even have his scorpion tattoo yet
It was 11 days before he got the scorpion and I’m still losing my mind over it
Dude wanted perfect sound in a bowling alley 😂
oh my god, seeing mcr back in the day like this just has awoken something in me
Holy shit that nostalgic guitar tone
Anyone know the story on this video? I'm curious where it came from after all these years. Regardless, thanks for posting this insane relic
that morrisey cover is sick
I’m going insane over this, it’s so wonderful
covering jack the ripper at the fireside bowl!? this is wild
Shout out to that one girl, she was very enthusiastic about the whole things
Can’t believe this exists and we didn’t get to see it til now
i saw them play an arena 20 years the other night last night. they closed this show w vampires and the show just i saw :,) this footage is so good
not Gerard enjoying getting spat on omgggg
im glad so many people are gonna know about the fireside after this video!! truly such an important place
