- Oh my goodness, You must watch this video to the end to really appreciate "My Chemical Romance" and the Ghost of You.
It is absolutely intense! There is no describing the heroism that was ingrained in the "Greatest Generation" during the World Wars.
Men and Women of HONOR! So committed to their country and their freedom to live that they were willing to die! There is very little of that left in our country today.
Super amazing song! I loved it. These guys are awesome!

Fact: The budget for this video was estimated around $1M that's why this was listed as one of the most expensive videos of all time.
How did they get the money
@@lucianoarebalo41 Record company. The single/video was released over a year after Three Cheers was released, and as the album had done pretty well, I'm guessing Reprise thought it was a good risk to take to fund that much for the music video. High risk = high reward if it works out.
@@danielprudhoe647 that plus reprise was also A&R'd by Craig Aaronson at the time and he believed in bands so much that he'd have let them do a $1M video even without the album doing well
Worth it
Opinion: that transition from dance floor to the beach is beautiful
this song was huge back in the day, not just in the US, it was worldwide and adult people did not even realize how good was this music that teens were listening to.
I'm mexican and can confirm
@@kevindominguez8042 Im also mexican and I comfirm too
Losing his brother in this video, definitely a real reaction. I cry every time I watch it.
I can't imagine losing my brother like that, I might be going crazy
If you've ever seen the "Making Of" of this video, the director (I think) asks Mikey what his favourite part of the video was, and he said, with a smile on his face, "when I died" and Gerard is in the background staring absolute daggers at him lol
yo me too, I cry like I am losing my own sibling TT^TT
This is one of my favorite songs of theirs
(Not so) Fun fact: The guy that died, Mikey, is the lead singer's brother, and you can see him shouting his name in the video. He also has a badge in the WTTBP and Famous Last Words music videos.
I've never noticed the badge detail! That's so cool
When he was shot, the image becomes blurry on Gerard, simulating his eyes full of tears.
@@elxbanda i just realized that, thanks, bro this music video its probably the best one ive ever seen
Yeah Gerard yelling 'Mikey!' always gets me.
OH dude fun fact!!' the guy who got shot and died (mikey) has a gold star on his uniform in the music video "famous last words" that you reacted to because he died.
@Eva Ajamoughli yes
The segue from the water washing over the floor to the beach at Normandy is absolutely gorgeous and very creative. Excellent reaction. I love watching the pure joy and appreciation on your face. I do not think if we had to, we could ever pull together again like we did in WW2.
Everytime i see that transition i get serious chills, definitely my favorite music video ever
That's genuinely one of my favorite shots in any music video ever, it's so good!
You’d be surprised.
My maternal grandfather was a medic in WWII and was on the beaches of Normandy. He held medals but never talked about it, except I know he carried soldiers and tried to grab their blown-off limbs back to tents so they could be buried with their entire bodies...I can't imagine...and I'm so thankful for that.
Their performances acting were so real because Mikey and Gerard really have a connection, they're brothers... I think it was hard to record.
And Mikey got a gold star in Famous last words and Welcome to the black parade from The Black Parade album because he ‘died’ in the ghost of you video, that is a song from their album three cheers for sweet revenge that came before tbp.
MCR’s albums universe is kinda connected and that's why you may see in comments people begging you to listen to albums in sequence. Especially The Black Parade. Danger days too. They have their storyline.
No one ever catches the drum beats @5:03 matching the MG42's RoF. There are pieces of history hidden in this song...
i noticed that
bro thats so cool
If you notice In the welcome to the black parade video the patient gets a medal on him because he dies Mikey is the only one in the band to be wearing a medal because he dies in this video
You need to continue reacting to their songs
Totally planning on it!
react to helena !!!!
Yes more My Chem reactions pls !!!
@@oldguyreactions maybe Helena?
Old my chemical,before Three Cheers !
I was 15 years old when this album released. Welcome to my youth. Enjoy!
Just for clarity I’m 32 and I listened to this album today on the way to work 😂
Damn
@@BruhKing69You pulling that kevin hart and don cheadle scene 💀
This man just picked my wedding out fit for me thanks bro you saved me a lot of time
Lol
This video makes me cry every damn time.
Such a good song!
You got the wrong idea in the end of the video, the music video is pretty ANTI-war, not PRO-war.
Most of the wars the US was envolved (excluding WWII) were pointless wars, all these wars are just the US trying to expand it's influence and capital upon other countries, imposing them to be submissive to them, because war is PROFITABLE for the rich people in the US (and those are the real rulers of your country).
Also, selfishness is the mainly cause of US military interventions.
In the video, Gerard is singing about losing someone in war, and that person is his brother, it has NOTHING to do with patriotism.
Don't take this comment as an offense against you or your views, but patriotism (for what I know) is not about completely destroying other countries for the sake of a profit.
Militarism is so rooted into the minds of US's citizens that it sincerely scares the sh*t out of me.
And your country is internally collapsing because of something called: class struggle
who asked broski?
I love this comment. Thank you for it. It is a great discussion topic. We all have opinions regarding WAR. The one opinion that we all have is that we all hate war. No one wants to die or have loved ones die in a war. It is truly a last resort. I am speaking in regards to a country. Obviously, there are religions that are ok with killing because they are rewarded for doing so in their religion. I am speaking in a secular society within a country.
I 100% agree with you that mankind is a selfish secular society in general because they live better than the Kings of the past. However, there is an amazing underlying current within the American society of compassion. Americans give more away to third world countries than any other nation on the planet.
During WWII there was an evil dictator that almost took over the world. It came very close. History shows how the countries realized that they had to respond, you would be amazed. They had to step up to save the world. Those that died for us should be hailed as absolute HERO's. They were willing to risk it all and die to protect their families. We are all free because of their sacrifice. The most selfish thing we could have done was to ignore the world as it was taken over and countless millions slaughtered.
For me, I think we need to get back to caring for others. We need to love one another. That means to become unselfish and serve each other. That was the feeling I got in this video. These boys were not selfish, they went, fought, and died for us. I believe we are losing that. We are too selfish. We will take out our cell phones and record someone being killed instead of risking harm to ourselves. We should be jumping in and risking it all to save someone. Those are the true hero's. We need to get back to that. That is my point in this video.
he already said it, but if there ever ws a justified war, it would be ww2, ww1, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Syria, even the flipping Banana wars, we can argue about, but ww2 needed to be fought, not for the sake of the few but for the many, true, the boot maker and and the gun builder got their kickback, but i think if you asked a jew, or a Italian or a Russian or a Frenchman Or the Chinese or the Okinawan, they would say it was worth it, not because they found some semblance of profit, but because they kept their lives, and that mekes it worth it, i agree that this is anti war, but saying that ww2 was some how a bourgeoisie conspricay undermines the history, and the facts, and that, is what "scares the sh*t out of me"
(edit) I should clarify, some wars are justified, some are not, it is not our job to judge he people of yesterday for fighting the war, it is our job to understand why and if they had to fight it, and avoid those mistakes, that is what history is about.
Tf you're talking about? Mcr never said it's an ANTI or PRO war music video. It's just reenactment of d-day, that's all. Don't bring everything into politics.
@@F-mr5mj beautifully said!
The water washing over the dance floor is absolutely a flawless transition
i knew a simple soldier boy, who grinned at life in empty joy, slept soundly through the lonesome dark, and whistled early with a lark. in winter trenches, cowed and glum, with crumps, and lice, and lack of rum, he put a bullet through his head and no one spoke of him again. you smug-faced crowds with kindling eye, who cheer when soldier lads march by, sneak home and pray you'll never know, the hell where youth and laughter go.
I remember I was in Junior High School 7th grade when this song came out we were watching it in the morning before school and they were talking about the making and how much they put into this video because it meant so much to them and I even miss school to wait for the video to come out I believe it was MTV but I could be wrong it was a long time ago now
This video is amazing. The slow, soft, big-band USO show turning more and more erratic and blurred as the war consumes them. It's like it captures every kind of emotion a veteran can have: loss, PTSD, regret, fear, all boiled into a few great shots and camera work.
This song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it man
What amazes me about that particular video is how they managed to tame the 'Ray-fro', especially going from 'I'm Not Okay'...
Watching this video is giving me chills cause it's taking me back to my middle school days.
Same 😅
Oi bb
I’ve been going down the rabbit hole with MCR. I was obsessed with them for years from 2003 - beyond
Thank you for this video reaction. Watching this on D-Day wishing more people in our country today would recognize the sacrifices that were made by those brave men. I appreciate your take on it!
MCR (Sweet Revenge Album) is one, actually my favorite MCR's SONGs since 2004 until now 2022 ,it hits heart so emotionally !
i just came across you as a reactor, and i just love the job you are doing. this reaction is my fav so far you have done, but ive only seen 3 so far... on to the next one...keep up the entertainment
Awwwe, thank you. Welcome....I appreciate you leaving this comment!
I very, very rarely watch these reaction sort of videos, but I really was so curious to see your response to their music video. I was not disappointed!! It's so cool seeing the older gens respond to the younger's music!
Thank you for watching! I appreciate you. 🙂
Love your video man. This song hits me down to my very soul. Hauntingly beautiful. Can’t wait to see your other videos
The idea for the video was based on the movie Saving Private Ryan :)
Yes, It looked exactly like Saving Private Ryan....then again...saving Private Ryan really looked like the actual scenes of storming Normandy Beaches. So really both the video and the movie get their depictions from the actual footage during the actual event. Interesting stuff.....good comment.
This song, Early Sunsets on Monroeville, and Demolition Lovers are my three favorite songs of theirs BY far. And I’m old, too, turned 40 on 9/11.
Is that the omaha beach? 3k soldiers died that day
I collect military items, and so I appreciate the authenticity of the uniforms and equipment in this video. I got into an online chat with a few guys who participated in this video, fellow collectors and reenactors, who were upset at how the beach landing scene ended up.
Apparently, it was their understanding that they weren't supposed to actually get wet - that they would be stepping from the landing craft directly on to the beach. However, there was issue with the water depth and the landing craft could only get so close to the beach, and it ended up taking on a lot of sea water. The result was that many of the guys' uniforms and equipment ended up soaked with salt water. One collector told me that he had an actual WW2 medic's equipment bag - containing the actual original bandage dressings and other medical gear - which ended up getting soaked.
Also, some of the collector/reenactor rifles ended up in the salt water with the landing craft. The video production people offered only a small compensation for the damaged weapons, not understanding that these were authentic Second World War weapons.
That all being stated, I think this is a fantastic video, and the fact that the military items aren't the typical 'tossed-together' made-up mish-mash of military stuff really made this video stand out. Also, overhead view where the dance floor segues to the beach assault was cleverly and effectively done.
This is a powerful song! My favorite of MCR.
You missed the transition scene I was so excited to see you react to it
After this reaction i have never hit the Suscribe button so fast! Keep it up man
Love your reactions, greets from Peru!
Thank you! I appreciate you!
This video and song always gives me the chills.
Loved the first reaction of the intro guitars they always get me😭
Just subscribed, but, where you a service member? That was an awsome react. Love the energy.
This video always gives me goosebumps.
This is one of my favorite songs from them, too! Eyyyy!
My favorite song by them great reaction new sub my man
ALSO i LOVED this!! more my chemical romance please :)
Fun fact, the boat they were in started to sink while filming 🤣
Do an really early old one of theirs, please do a hardcore punk "Honey,This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us" , first time I heard it before knowing anything about them, I was wtf. Then I listened again. Hugs from Sweden.
They we're already so good... I totally agree
Im at 4:44 and I'm subscribing NOW.
Another thing, I've seen so many people react to this video. HOW don't they know about Normandy? You're taught about that when you're around 13?
Ah yes. My left ear really appreciates this reaction video. Is it actually that hard to make sure your video comes out of both speakers for us viewers? Edit: just the intro was coming out of only the left speaker, but my question still stands imo.
Está canción representa creo yo un sentimiento muy fuerte de la sociedad norteamericana (EU), es por eso que para muchos de uds es una canción especial.
Gerard and Mikey's performance always destroys me, not just in the musical aspect but the acting!
My great grandfather was on that beach. He never talked about it
Next " I don't love you" you'll find the other side of them again
Love your reaction ♥️
Wish your reaction had a love button like Facebook. I’m a veteran and I understand what you’re saying. One nation under god
yesss Brett! Thank you!
@@oldguyreactions Even the ones that made it home from any war never really came home.
Where is the honor, what dose it me to me North American, USA, Canada, where has it gone. Again love the reaction
Facts ........... sir yes..........
A great video man!
Very good, I love this clip. 👏👏💖💖
They are just a rock band, gothic as hell but yeah... it’s just pop rock, pop punk.
Their music aged very well compared to their contemporaries.
Great reaction and a great video 👍👍
MCR are iconic. Nice reaction. Please react to 'light behind your eyes' beautiful song
I recommend listening to I Prevail! Great rock music! Listen to hurricane by them!
Look up the video of the making of the video. Pretty cool to see the behind the scenes for their videos.
There’s a heavy metal band called Sabaton that sings mainly about battles and wars and heroes of war. From Sparta to the world wars to modern day. If you was to react to one Bismarck is a real good one it’s about the German battleship or Primo Victoria that’s about the Normandy landings of WWII
Lol the captions when he said intense made me laugh. "And tents, in tents"
This song means is deep! I had a dear friend at Normandy.
My Chem has so so many great songs and videos. If you want another good video that's military based watch One by Metallica. It's so powerful.
You gotta listen to Welcome to the black parade, Helena and I'm not ok. By them if you haven't, they are my fave band. Should of seen them in concert in 2020. But cause of covid postponed til 2022.
Omg... MCR 🖤🖤🖤🖤 I cry every time I watch this video🖤
first-time, i must say. Guy who died it's a brother to guy who sing. I crying every time, when I wath this video.
Check out Mama. Another song they did about war...not quite so idealistic and rosy, though.
I love that ine
One
Eternally 🐐ed for this
salio hace 11 años esa cancion y apenas la escucha
When did John c. Riley start doing react videos
this is my favorite one
War video looks like part it's taken from saving private ryan + re enactment
Please react to "i miss you" by blink 182
Nice
I've been through that.i got saved wish he didn't pass saved m
Curious to know where you lean politically
I am against war. But I have a family and I love my country.
I believe that our society has lost its love for one another. We are a selfish society. We are complacent and apathetic. A house divided cannot stand.
This video reminded me how the honor and love of the greatest generation gave us this life we live today. If it were not for them, we would be in bondage today.
I really hope our generation can stand up to that same scenario if it comes again. But, I am not sure because of our complacency and apathy.
полностью тебя понимаю. язык Джерарда понимает любой Человек.
I’d love to see you react to twenty one pilots. Stressed out, lane boy, car radio.

hey dude! your thumbnail is a little pixelated- maybe you should change it?
Muito show !! Parabéns !! Passei e me inscrevi. Vai ser um prazer ter vc lá no meu canal tbm!! Bj
MCR's best song imo
MCR is really the best!
It kind of annoys me that they have 101st airborne patches and are doing an amphibious landing on d day.
React to Flyleaf all around me
Can you react to girls/girls/boys by panic at the Disco please
You kinda sorta really misunderstood the song. The song itself isn't explicitly about war and more about death itself, but the video is very much anti war and about what those soldiers go through, the people they lose and the people that lose them. Mcr as a band is very much anti war
Yea, I can see that angle too. We are all anti war to be honest. No one wants war. It just happens in life. From the dawn of humanity.
The part I feel we lost, was the honor we used to have in protecting each other.
Case in point, when someone is getting beat up in the streets, our first reactions are to pull out our cell phones to record it.
The first reaction should be to run and stop it no matter what the cost. We are missing that honor.
Everyone used to have it, now we just call those people heroes because it is so rare.
@@oldguyreactions Oh I see what you're talking about. We as a species need to start looking out for eachother more.
Love your videos. Keep up the good work!
REACT TO JUSTIN BIEBER LIVE AT PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS HOLY AND LONELY PLS
You're upset because teenage boys are playing xbox in their family homes and not dying in their thousands on the beaches of Normandy?
"We gotta get back to that"
You are what's wrong with the US, my guy.
No, you missed the point. Listen again. Listen without your bias and hear what was said.
Those men died for you. You are free today to have your wine,, drive your sports car and play games.. Because they willingly fought with honor for others to be free.
It is a very unselfish thing to give up your life for others. We call them Hero's. Hero's risk it all for someone else's well being and it may cost them their life in doing so.
It is not dying that makes them the Hero. It is the mindset in serving others and caring for others that makes them the hero.
It is the love they have for their family and friends.
My question to you is this: would you die for someone you love?
If the answer is no, then you are the problem that we currently have in the USA. That was my point. We need to get back to being unselfish and love one another.
