THIS VIDEO WAS BLOCKED BY UA-cam FOR 4DAYS it is now unblocked...... so I SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU!!!!!
Heard that and went straight to the comments to check
Mama or Cancer should be reacted to songs by My Chem . Honestly i didnt hear this until last year but their live performance is one of my favorite go to's now and i typically love heaviet music
I heard this song when it came out and it will be always on my playlist... It's almost a symphony.
this reaction had me punching the air. i literally yelled “he gets it!”
You can really tell he's paying attention to the lyrics, the music, the video, everything
LMAOOOO
FOR REAL! ME TOO
So many don't understand that the parade is death then to even to get that the reason death is coming as a parade to take him to the afterlife is because a parade is his favorite memory wow
100%!!!!!
OSN: “Upliftingly dark? Is that a thing?”
Emo fans: “Yes.”
Me in my menacing voice: Drag is soul to heaven. 🤣
i wasnt emo and i buy the album..back in time was a ver intresting band. opera rock i think. such a incredible band
Dude, I'm 56 and was a jazz musician through out high school and missed all the rock music. I've been rediscovering it since the 80s. My granddaughter introduced me to this song while I was sitting and mourning my wife in 2016. I burst into tears at one point but assured my granddaughter that she did good and listened to it again and again. Now one of my favorite songs.
61, trombonist, hard rock bassist, i love your story, music saves🤟🏽🖤
57 year old guitarist who somehow missed these guys when this was released. Discovered them more recently through my daughter and can't stop listening to them. By the way, if you get the chance to see them live, their live show is AMAZING!
Gerard Way told us to be the saviours of the broken, the beaten and the damned, and that misery and hate will kill us all-lyrics like this gave us all the stubborn determination to get through everything the next decade and a half has thrown at us.
I was graduating high school when this came out and I'll be damned if it isnt just as relevant to my life today. You'll never take my heart...🖤
Exactly this!
You can see where Umbrella Academy came from
OMG BEST SONG OF 2006 not 2009 PLEASE DONT HURT ME!!!!!!!
Its ok man.. And i like your reaction.. Keep it up. Love from PHILIPPINES 😊🇵🇭
Great reaction. You absolutely must must must check out Helena
Fact!
Lol yeah I was confused for a minute. I heard this song when my dad passed away and you had me second guessing when my dad passed 🙄🤣
Using this comment to ask where you get your music for your intros! Lol
The expression on your face during the song is priceless.
THIS SONG AS AN ANTHEM IS PRICELESS!!!!
The album is bigger than this one song. Probably the biggest part of music history MCR gave us. I love or at least like every song on it.
True
I still kinda mock goth/emo culture. But damn since THIS album and song is COMFORTABLY the best they have to offer it was WELL worth it
I agree!
He needs to listen to the whole album
15 years later and this song still punches rock hard in my feels. Grown ass man here and still get choked up to this song. 100/10 for me.
Same here bro.
I grew up listening to classic rock, and the most mainstream stuff. The first song I ever chose for myself to add to my mp3 player was Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I didn't get into My Chemical Romance until 2012 or so, and I was graduating high school by then. This album was the first I ever bought, specifically for this song.
Back to see the reaction once again. Still the SAME punches, choked up and teary eyed. Divorce comes for me this year and yet I will carry on.
That marching snare outro hits different when you realise that section of the drums is the temptation to let go and join the Parade. And it's the last notes we hear as the song fades away.
wow.. i didnt know that thanks.
But isn't it inevitable? That idea that you're eventually going to join the Black Parade, and that we all have the responsibility instead to resist the despair that comes from everyone we know and love joining? If anything that fade-out sort of represents to me the Parade leaving with your loved ones, but you resisted the despair and let them go in peace.
You nailed it when you recognized the black parade was death. The whole album centers around the idea that when you die, death appears to you as your most powerful memory in order to ease your transition into death. You analyzed it perfectly. The characters most powerful memory was that parade when they were a child. The whole album tells the story someone's descent into death and him looking back on his life and coming to terms with it.
No. It's about a cancer patient. I mean there is literally a song called Cancer on it.
@@ChristopherJames1993 Right. That cancer patient that's looking back on his life as he's descending into death. You might wanna learn to look deeper into things than just the surface level before you try telling someone that they're wrong. Look at interviews with the band or just use your own lyrical analysis. They literally say what it's about lmao
@@ChristopherJames1993 lol, correcting someone who's already correct 🤦🤦🤦🤦
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A REACTION, NOT JUST STARING A THE SCREEN FOR FIVE MINUTES AND THEN SAY: ey nice song i like it and end the video.
I was 16 when this group dropped this. Im 31 now. Still this hits me.
To add a little. Two years before this song came out my father passed away. At the time I didn't know what I felt about the situation. I wanna say these guys helped me somewhat.
Im 47 and they are up there with Queen
me too..well no 33 but i buy the album was a sensation back in time
“Though your broken and defeated your weary widow marches on” always kills me.
Goddamn.. I cried watching someone watch this for the first time and understanding the power behind it and appreciating how epic this is when this is so nostalgic and close to my heart.
It really makes me happy when someone loves my favorite song
Same
@@kandrpy3161 .. that's .. awesome
MCR is my absolute favorite band of all time. I'm a 40 year old mom so it didn't come out during my teenagehood. Now my oldest daughter loves this band too so we bond over it together.
Cool mom!!
@@alberycruz2508 thanks
They will be touring again soon. Did you know Gerald Way wrote The Umbrella Academy thats on Netfix. :)
I'm glad to read this kind of comments cause I feel like MCR's legacy was left in good hands and still goes from one generation to another. I'd do the same thing if I had a kid, you're doing great!!
@@diegodogs yep, I have his Killjoys comics.
I love how so many people that I watch reacting to this song say the same thing "this isn't a song, its an anthem" it just makes my heart happy
I definitely cried the first time I listed to this about 6 years ago. This still gets me SO emotional
everytime i hear that G note my heart shakes
I was 53 in 2009. It was my anthem too. " I will be the champion of the broken, beaten and the damned" forever.
Brothers Mikey (guitarist) and Gerard (lead vocals) Way, were the heart of this band. Gerard live was a force of nature. He is now a comic book writer and creator of The Umbrella Academy.
This old school girl missed it to lol. I was to caught up with 80s rock and Nirvana. I have only just discovered My Chemical Romance through my daughter. They have led me to discover Thirty Seconds to Mars and Silverchair.
You've raised your daughter well!
Great reaction! People are going to suggest their singles (understandably), but I'd highly recommend House of Wolves and Mama (both from The Black Parade). Ideally, listening through the entire Black Parade album would be amazing but I know it's a difficult reaction to listen through, edit, etc. Also, each of their albums sound way different from one another. Black Parade is definitely their most "rock opera" album. Thank you for this- MCR was a big part of my adolescence and is always fun to listen to.
yes yes yes!
Honestly this. Their singles are great but their albums definitely turn into masterpieces when listened to as a whole, since they all tell some kind of story (The Black Parade just happens to have the most clear narrative). Not to mention that the *worst* MCR song would still be a pretty solid single by a lot of other bands.
You definitely started with their best song first, but I still highly recommend checking out Helena and Ghost of You. Side note I would've taken you for an elder millennial. I know I'm technically an elder millennial even if I feel more like an xennial (definitely not gen x).
also considered best song of 2006 not 2009..... Oh and I have decided to bring my daughter in to do the reactions to Helena and Ghost of you THANK YOU!!!!!
@@OldSkuleNerd you're welcome. Can't wait to catch those reactions.
@@OldSkuleNerd more death to come then! Helena was written about Gerard's grandmother who passed and how he wasn't/didn't spend as much time with her in the end as he could have. Her name was Elena, but people called her Helena. I believe that info is right. Can't go wrong with Revenge era MCR!
@@OldSkuleNerd did you ever do those reactions, because I haven't seen them in your uploads? I ask specifically, because Ghost of You is my favorite MCR song
@@OldSkuleNerd whatever happened to those reactions brother?
I love the fact that after the intro primed him you can actually see an MCR fan be born *_specifically_* at 4:49.
My Chemical Romance: Gerard Way - vocals, Mikey Way - bass, Frank Iero - rhythm guitar, Ray Toro, lead guitar, Bob Bryar on drums. The album of the same name was a concept album (and you are definitely right about performance!) Each of their albums have a some kind of story to them. Three Cheers from Sweet Revenge was the album before this, bangers all the way through. You HAVE to check out Mama, Liza Minelli has a feature! It's wild and it's awesome.
This is maybe the first reaction to the song that understood the meaning of both the video and song on the first go.
I don't judge people that didn't get it (I certainty didn't my first listen) but it's so refreshing to see someone just get it.
Man I don't think I've ever seen anyone pick up on the thematic elements here as fast as you. You're absolutely right - according to Gerard Way (the singer), the idea of the song is that when a person dies, death comes for them in the form of their fondest memory. In the case of the Patient (the name of the character in the bed), that was his dad taking him into the city as a kid to see a parade, hence why death comes for him in the form of the Black Parade.
My personal headcanon is that this song can also be interpreted in a way to be about 9/11. "The bodies in the streets," the imagery of the skeletal walls of destroyed buildings, and of course the fact that MCR formed in the first place after Gerard Way personally witnessed the collapse of the WTC towers (as he happened to be in Manhattan that day) all lend credence to that idea IMO.
A lot of people how called this the “Emo ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’” And with the complexity of this song I can appreciate the comparison as a fan of both bands.
Your reaction took me back to the first time I saw this all those years ago. I was in middle school and became a lifelong fan.
We all joining that parade one day ..imma gonna go out with this blasting
Fun fact: whenever I wake up hungover after a night at the bar when I haven't bothered to wash my makeup off before bed, I always make the same joke. "Oh no! I fell asleep in my eyeliner and accidentally joined the black parade!"
Also, I am really happy you enjoyed this. It is definitely the millennial Stairway to Heaven.
That is amazing and I def sang it to the tune lol!
I was 14 when this came out, I cried and had goosebumps the first time I hear it, 18 years later I'm crying and having the goosebumps again
I'm 34, this song is the bohemian rhapsody of my generation. Brian may performed with MCR at reading and leeds in 09 and also confirmed the level of anthem of this song
I agree with all of the recs here.
House of Wolves
Mama
Helena
Ghost of you
I don't love you
You might even like I'm not okay.
Amazing reaction! Thanks!
So, I'm 58 and somehow missed these guys until about 4 years ago. Now I cannot stop listening to them.
Finally a music reactor with actual in-depth music REVIEW. Subbed!
Great reaction. My sister used to have some of the words tattooed on her arm. We played this at her funeral 10 years ago. I love the song but it’s an anthem that also makes me cry.
My condolences
@@fys2bys955 That’s so kind of you. Thank you.
your sister was a real one, may she rest in peace
@@kuzcospoisonthepoisonforku2607 she definitely was. Thank you. 💕
@@aussiejojo73 of course, hope you are doing well (I know it's been a bit since you wrote this comment)
Yo i'm so glad you understood the song since the beginning
There are many biblical aspects in most music I listen to. I am Christian so that’s generally the music I connect to. In the Bible it also mentions trumpets sounding in the end which some could interpret as a marching band cause why would it just be one instrument? There is also teaching in the Bible that death is sorrowful but should also be celebrated for they go to be in heaven with God. I love finding Christian themes in secular music. Also, this WILL be playing at my funeral!
This song gave comfort to anyone who's grieving.
I mean, if we going down the My Chemical Romance hole. And trying to understand the message they sent, we gots to go with: Helena.
The entire Black Parade album is all worth a listen. And their second album is super creative in the instrumental stand point. But my other recommendations would be: Mama, Famous Last Words, it's not a fashion statement it's a deathwish, Sleep.
I was a bit older than most MCR fans when this hit.. but my Dad died a couple of years earlier... and several other people around me died also.. this song spoke to me... there is no age for good music... and there is no style.
The dynamics are awesome... going from punk-marching band, to straight punk rock, back to marching band...
This is still my favorite song. First time I heard it I was driving down I-75 near Tampa and it hit me hard. Cliche as it might be, I want this song played at my funeral.
They're headlining the Aftershock Festival this year in Sacramento, along with Metallica and Limp Bizkit.
My Chemical Romance was probably the last band I listened to in 2000 - 2010. After that I just lost interest in rock and metal, until BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL came along.
Amazing reaction!! Fun fact: a lot of the drums were actually recorded by Frank (Cheech) Iero Sr (The rhythm guitarist's father) who is an amazing drummer, and especially plays jazz songs
His father was one of the last people to see John Lennon alive
Sorry to chime in but i do believe Bob recorded the whole record from their time in the paramour mansion all the way to the final studio sessions. Problably Franks dad played on Danger Days when they didnt have a full time drummer anymore or maybe all the way back to bullets, Matt the first drummer want very good at keeping time.
@@TheFortressofficial Bob did record TBP, but Frank's dad did additional percussion for welcome to the black parade. He, among Linda Pricolo, Donna Lee and Donald Way who did additional vocals for mama, are credited in the album. Bob demoed a couple of Danger Days songs, but it was John Miceli the one that recorded the tracks for the album and I believe Dorian Crozier recorded 1 track
@@magggmae8880 really?? wheres the proof ive literally never heard this anywhere before
@@heyjude6680 there’s a community news article about it.
I went here knowing I first heard it in 2006 when I worked in Spain as the much younger guys I shared an apartment with used to play it all day and night. It certainly did my box in when he said 2009 when I'd returned to Scotland the year before???🤔
ITS NOT JUST A SONG, ITS AN ANTHEM!!! DAY OF THE DEAD PARADE!!
This makes me so happy to watch. Thank you for this.
I keep coming back to this video after all this time because it's one of my favourite reactions. This was THE jam back in the day and this dude gets it. Still one of my favourite songs
This reaction had me smiling so hard, it genuinely felt like I was hearing it for the first time which is crazy because I’ve heard this song hundreds of times, I skip it a lot nowadays because it’s so familiar. Watching this had me hearing things I’ve literally never heard before in the song. So cool. Also you were so spot on with the symbolism in this! It’s not super covert in it’s metaphors or anything but you even picked up on the “best memory” bit and that’s great!
This is the Bohemian Rhapsody of my generation (26 years old)
Really love how in depth you went with what you got out of the song.
I'm extremely happy from this reaction. Hugs from Sweden.
lovely lovely reaction!! you really understood exactly what it was about and i love that, and i relate to you heavily about discovering rock and metal so late - last few years have been a musical journey for me but it's amazing that you can experience things at any point of your life! rock on dude!
I missed this too, just heard for 1st time at beginning of Clerks 3. I can't believe I missed this song!!!
I listened to this song, over and over, after my mother passed. It's pure, raw emotion, beginning to end. It still manages to drag a few years out of me every time I listen to it. You nailed it, man. Good reaction.
Thank you for the reaction, I literally started listening to this song yesterday and just loved it. I didn’t understand the meaning behind the song at first listen but your analysis definitely let me appreciate it better
In some countries. During funerals there is this sort of "parade" when the deceased is transported from the church to the graveyard. And I think the Black Parade is referring to that.
There are a few songs that just make you stop and you drop your jaw as well as get chills simultaneously when you first hear it and this is one of them.
I wish I could go back and hear this song and see the video again for the first time.
The year was 2006. I was just coming out of high school. This song was EVERYWHERE. I shunned MCR because so many people were raving about how great they were. It was cool to hate on this band.
The last 5 years or so I have realised how wrong it was to hate on them. Their music is draws on greats from the past (especially Queen) and creates something that is incredible, dark and uplifting at the same time.
Great backstory to this song and album
Dude! I freakin love watching your reaction! I’m older as well (40) and my 4 year old is absolutely obsessed with this song
Lol the song is so iconic you can recognize this song with a single first note. 🤙🏽
I’m 56 and I love it!!
I'm 63 and this was my most listened to song of 2022! Had teens when this came out and have early 20's now. Band from college '78-'82 that are classics now and continued to be open to new bands until my 4 kids listened to their fans. Now instead of birthday gifts, we all go to concerts on my husband and I. Three times 2022-23 for Falling in Reverse.. We even went to MSG for A7X with FIR for our anniversary. Welcome to the Black Parade is on practically all my playlists. You might enjoy The Umbrella Academy series written by Gerard and Mikey Way, the lead singer and the guitarist (brothers). You're not old, just catching up.
What an amazing reaction! I loved watching you listen to this incredible song. The essential lyric in this song about death is 'we'll carry on'.
It takes so much air. So much.
This song is electrifying.
Easily my favorite reaction to this song. Really enjoy this channel
I've watched this reaction near on 10 times now and I still enjoy your reactions lol
I was a 90's goth as a teen, so the emo phase wasn't something I was into at the time. I hated MCR, which I got over, but I could never deny that this song was amazingly written.
yeah i totally missed it by dismissing emo as a kiddy thing back then
By the way, Speeding to MCR? That's Na na na na. Based on the True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys comic by lead singer Gerard Way
I was going through a very strong depressive state and MCR's music and Gerard's lyrics were better than any therapy, all the anger, sadness or any problem I had went away when I euphorically sang these songs. That music don't incite something negative as many said at that time, it was a medicine for many mental disorders. They helped me a lot, I am strong now.
Man, what a great reaction, to this master piece.
Glad you keyed in on the guitar playing, there are so many tasty little phrases and licks they weave through the rest of the music, and ties the songs movements together.
"Are they gonna escalate?!?"
Oh yeah, they're gonna escalate
I lost a very close friend to a sudden death situation... within one week this song was released. It b became my Dale anthem. I still cry when I hear it. It's too bad you didn't get to see their Welcome to the Black Parade tour.
Still my favorite reaction to this song/video. And I followed through to the additional reactions you did on the drummer, great stuff.
My favourite little catch in this banger is the xylophone.
So glad my boys kept me up on so much good music in the 90s to now! I don't know all of it but I know a lot of these ! The three of us scream this song in the car together!
This is the reaction I came for!!
As a drummer I also love the drums in this song but Ray Toro (their lead guitarist) is CRIMINALLY underrated as a rock guitarist. They have a lot of guitar solos but Gerard is often yelling something over them haha. But if you check out songs like The End/Dead!, House of Wolves, Thank You for the Venom, You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison, Bulletproof Heart, and Vampire Money you can hear Ray really tear it up.
I really prefer Frank's guitar sometimes
@@Nefasta. which is fine! Frank writes great songs. I'm just mentioning how great Ray is at leads and soloing.
You should do reactions to the black parade album which this song is part of. It tells this story of "the patient" who is dying from cancer and his struggles and so on. My favorites are "welcome to the black parade", "dead!", "I don't love you" and without a doubt "famous last words" that one is a banger!
This man would have actually been so amazing to listen to analyzing the album from start to finish - the way he nails this song but without even the context that the whole ALBUM is a contiguous story/opera - to hear his reaction to Cancer - "deceptively complex" - he gets it.
Best reaction to the song I've seen so far.
I’ve watched a lot of MCR reactions and I think you are by far one of my favorites
I was 9 years old when this song came out. I'm now 24 and I still get chills when I hear it.
Epic reaction🔥
One of my most favorite reaction videos
Yeah, this one man. My first time seeing ya, subscribed!
Listen to “The Ghost of You”. MCR is awesome!
You nailed the message and your not even Emo!!
I also love that you made the video larger than yourself. That’s a class move.
as a girl who was born in 02 with parents that don't listen to rock, MCR was a great way for me to get into rock, punk, metal, etc., because unlike a lot of bands before the turn of the century, the MCR fandom is a lot less male dominated. i didn't feel the need to "know 3 songs" or whatever, i can just get into bands at my own pace without twitter getting mad lol
Most of the bands in that genre are not male oriented... on purpose there is a reaason the movies that also were Huge at that time were focused on young female and emotion driven stories... it Twilight, hunger games etc .... during that time it was a Phenomenon
2000 to 2016ish tons of bands emerged and it was a great time to be a rock, punk, alternative, progressive, among other rock fans🤘🤘🤘. I would even bet this was the era in which Guitar Center became the massive entity it is now.
Uplightling old …. Love it!
Love this reaction. MCR is amazing at creating emotion in their videos and music. Should definitely check out ghost of you and famous last words.
Just the corner stuff and experience it with the viewers in the beginning made me give thumbs up! 👍😀
I am around the same age as you are, and I can tell you this whole album is amazing.
You really had me second guessing the year I graduated highschool with the 2009 talk haha
