My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words (Guitar Cover)

- I've been asked a lot, over the years, if I ever listened to modern music in my life, and of course the answer is yes. Although my tastes were defined early on by bands like Def Leppard and Queen, of melodic style rock, I did like the odd band that were popular in my teenage years. At the age of 15 in 2006, there were a lot of guitar bands around but not many that I liked. If you wanted riffs and more technical stuff you had to go a bit heavier and listen, to say, Killswitch Engage (who I did also like). But, if you wanted more 'pop melodic' songs, you had to listen to the 'punk' bands of the time that were popular, like Green Day, but then the guitars weren't as interesting, to me. So when My Chemical Romance came out with Black Parade, it seemed to satisfy my needs right at that moment. I remember my initial impressions were that I thought the bleach blond hair of Gerard Way was cool (something I wanted to do but never did, and now I can't haha) and that they seemed less 'emo' than what I had heard before from them. But it wasn't until hearing this song come on a music channel that I got really floored by them. I love this track so much, it made me buy the album and I used to listen to the ending on repeat. It's got a hell of a chorus hook, plenty of guitar parts and a nice challenging solo. There's a lot of the typical 'octave' style guitar work which was common back then but I don't mind.
So, maybe a little bit different to what I would usually do on here but I hope you can appreciate why I like this song, and maybe there's some out there who like it too.
I use a Jackson DK2 Dinky from 2004 (I removed the tone pot and moved the volume over) into a Boss Me50 (where I get my tone) into a Palmer Pdi-09 (which simulated a mic'd up cab) into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X (where I add a little EQ and Reverb).
F.A.Q
My headphones are purposely like that so they stay out of the way. The cable is very long.

Grew up with Def Leppard, Maiden and Metallica but perhaps the only rock band I listened to in the 2000s was MCR. For me, Black Parade was probably the best album since Hysteria. This song is one of my favourites on the album and I've listened to a lot of covers but none ever seem to nail that solo. You have to be the first one I've heard who's done it. That was perfect.
Very kind David, thanks!
that Jackson is so beautiful!
It is beautiful, I love the volume pot has been removed from original location. I never liked the volume knobs, I always hit them while playing.
Playing My Chemical Romance on a Jackson guitar 🎸 amazing
I’ve always thought this was a killer MCR song but man after watching someone play it im more than impressed - great job!
I loveeee the solo that starts at 0:32
Actually its a riff, but still is pretty awesome.
It's crazy to me that this video hasn't gotten more views. MCR immediately caught my ear in college, when this album dropped, because the guitar work was dynamic - the parts were interesting to play. And of course, the songs were huge and anthemic.
Haha, well most of my subscribers probably aren’t expecting stuff like this and people who like MCR probably don’t like what I usually post 😅
@@bwm5150 Fair enough! I've always been more about the guitar and the arrangement than the genre, so it's all good from my perspective. Your no-frills (but very solid) presentation, lack of filler, and focus on the music make these videos such a breath of fresh air for the times when I just want to watch someone do justice to a great song, with great guitar parts, and learn a bit more in the process.
I know what you mean. A song you like is good no matter the genre. This has always been a personal fav and hits the right buttons I like. You’re very kind. I don’t monetise my videos so I don’t have to worry about doing all the filler stuff 😅
This is a fun departure - you can rock it all, brother. Sounds great!
man this is IMPRESSIVE, this song is so powerfull and your tone killed it MORE
Thank you for covering this song, it's one of my favs!! Love your vids and your playing!!!
Yeah that guitar gets better with age 🎸🎶👍
You know this is so cool I've always wanted to say me and you both my friend have the same guitars we both have Jackson guitars accept mines is a different color mines strawberry red with glitter underneath the plastic coding when I brought that guitar I walk in the music store TRYED a couple or so when I picked up mines I knew that's the one I wanted " and cool thing about it was when I Jammed the tune " God's of War by Def Leppard it sounded so good just like their music like Phil Collins guitar then I walked out with it and came home & Jammed for hours on in so keep rocking my Friend and thank you for liking my cover of Hysteria 🎸 🎸
This is so amazing! Makes me sad that I don't have a guitar of my own but I'll hopefully get into it someday.
My favorite song of theirs by far. Awesome job as always!
Literally teared up dude, that was beautifully done 🙏🤘
Great guitar work! REALLY cool!
Simply the best ❤️
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone 😁

bro pls cover the sharpest lives my favourite track record ...
That’s another fav from the album, so maybe I can do that too
Was never super into this type of music but for some reason MCR was different for me. This is one of my favorites of theirs. The ending absolutely rips (4:10 forward for this cover).
I don't know but you are like a medicine that I must take everyday, thank you my friend, great sound great playing, great and wonderful guitar! Great you
Probably my favourite guitar riff ever.
Especially 1:35. Really nice work on this.

thanks to let me discover this great song !
Great sound man and great playing. Keep rocking!
There are some killer licks in this tune and you friggen nailed ‘em!
A thing of beauty!
Not my kind of music, but you sound great as always.
By the time these guys came out, I had gone back to listening to mostly 80s music. I'd only just turned 19 in the year 2000, but I never gave music a chance. For me the last decade for great music was the 90s. But the 80s will always rule.🤟
🖤
That was awesome! Hopefully you could do more from this album. My favorite track is called "Teenagers".
Great tone bro!
This sounds fantastic! Nice job
Absolutely killed it!!!!!!
Muy buen cover, saludos .
soo clean cover...
wow!!!!
Perfection.
First song from You that I don't like, but I do like the guitar playing as always. Wish I had your skills.
Loved it, amazing cover :)
You keep stealing song from my playlist... 🤣 I'm obsessed with the band since the begin. The best album of MCR. I'm sure Ray Toro and Frank Iero should love to see this.
Pd: "This is how i disappear" also deserve a cover 😉
My next fav from the album, so certainly a possibility, thanks!
u killed it
Hey man, you have some really great covers here and I was wondering - what's your approach to learning to play a song? Do you go about it by ear, or look for guitar notes or tabs online, or watch other players' cover videos and live concert videos, or some other method or a combination of these?
Also, have you considered doing covers for INXS? :)
Thanks, I learn by ear and watch live performances for hand positions.
Would u do more MCR cover song
I would certainly like to cover How I Disappear
@@bwm5150 you should and you should also do The Foundations Of Decay by MCR. it is their heaviest song
👍Nice.... Please play to..: Hip today from Extreme🙏
Hey man why don't you make lessons on the Def leppard songs , something that not everyone does apart from a few here and there
