The Black Parade is a rock opera centering around the character of "The Patient". It is about his passage out of life and the memories he has of it. "The Patient" dies and death comes for him in the form of a parade. This is based on singer Gerard Way's notion of death appearing to a person in the form of their fondest memory, in this case seeing a marching band as a child.
Thanks for that breakdown Mr. Joseph Dirt
Rock Opera...not quite
@@The_Skrub thats what its called
That's a very interesting concept, death appearing as your fondest memory. I like it!
So cool! I love that concept.
Fun fact, the lead singer Gerard Way also wrote the comic book series "The Umbrella Academy" and is co-writer of the TV show based on his series. It's pretty damn good watch! One of my favorite shows currently
Another fun fact, the characters of Umbrella Academy were inspired by the band members of MCR and how much they could fight/not get along much like siblings
Waiting patiently for Season 3. Can't wait
Another fun fact: Gerard Way is cousins with Joe Rogan
@@kelcarlisle1927 I wish I could I say I am as patient as you! I can't freaking wait!
ty!
Lex. This album was released when I was 14, the same year that my own dad died. This album was everything to me. I was lost and music helped guide me through it.
I dread that day, Im sorry for your loss brother. Hope your doing better these days
Sorry for your loss my friend
I was like 2 years old
ive always seen this song as a mixture of Greenday and Queen
Queen Day
I would never have thought of that, but you are absolutely correct
It was actually said in an interview that queen was a really big inspiration to this album. Along with pink floyd's the wall, queen's a night at the opera was a big influence on writing and structuring this album.
@@ArkaeaFCL3 I could hear queen easily, it was the hybridization with Green Day I found to be a revelation
yes, this album and specially this song is very inspired in Queen, it's a rhapsody. I love Queen and Pink Floyd for many years now, and finding out recently about this fact is a smirk to my 10 year old self who used to listen to MCR all day long
I took my daughter to see MCR (her favourite band) when she was about 15. Now 27, she's dragging her husband to see them on their UK tour later this year.
Taking her to see various Alt Rock bands rekindled my love for music that I'd rather lost in the late 80s & 90s.
Nice! Hope they stay safe and enjoy the concert, and that it isn't canceled due to COVID.
That's beautiful man
I love the smile that spreads across Lex's face when the guitars kick in. There's an emo rocker in there just screaming to get out.
"The black parade" is metaphor for a funeral procession. The song is about that, how people pass on and are remembered, and shouting that despite being missed, the living will carry on.
So, pretty dark with a candle light at the end.
The entire album is basically a concept album from the perspective of a person dying of cancer and facing and accepting their mortality, torn between, as the poet Dylan Thomas would say, raging against the dying of the light, or going gently into that good night.
MCR is one of those bands I get passionate about. There's a reason they gained a whole new generation of fans after their initial breakup in 2013. Their music, especially lyrical content, and their message resonates with so many of us.
As Brad said, they're more about perseverance and an overall positive message. While most "emo" bands, their peers at the time, dwelled on the sadness, MCR went the other direction, telling you "it's gonna be ok, even if you're not OK.
The Black Parade album is their magnum opus, but i personally think Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (second album) is their best work. It's more of a punk vibe while Black Parade is very alternative and heavily influenced by Queen, David Bowie, and Smashing Pumpkins.
Ugh Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is hands down my fav album!!! I listen to that album religiously!!
Couldn't be more similar, absolutely love MCR
"The Ghost of You". You definitely need to give that one a listen.
You guys definitely need to watch the video to get the full effect.
Never really got the "emo" tag people give this band. I always considered them like goth/punk/pop fusion. I think people who like emo also like them, so they get thrown in there a lot.
With the overly happy music and depression lyrics? They're Emo as $☆&@.
@@TheRealMirCat Emo style def isn't defined by overly happy music. That would be more akin to pop punk. But idk, I was super emo when it was at it's peak. When you look at stuff like Thursday, old Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Chiodos, they don't sound much like any of that sorta stuff. Maybe a little bit of Senses Fail. But Gerard's vocals just don't have that emo vibe at all. And imo that's one of the most emo defining things about the genre. He's angsty, but he ain't whiny and nasal like a lot of emo singers are.
The i brought you my bullets album and three cheers for sweet revenge is textbook emo/screamo. Even if MCR sounds more like alt-rock/pop-punk today doesn't take away their roots. Just like almost all emobands from that era they have their roots in hardcore and ended up as alt-rock/pop-punk band.
I just called it music 👍
I think the reason is they were huge with the emo scene so culturally they were tagged as emo. However you're right for the most part their stuff is not emo musically
I didn't like MCR until I went to a concert they were coheadliners on and they blew me away. Their energy on stage was incredible. I think Gerard Way could've been the Freddie Mercury of the 2000s. Absolutely phenomenal... and I saw them and The Used perform a cover of "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen... nobody could've done that cover half as good as they did. Look it up here on UA-cam. Incredible artists
This album is definitely pretty different from most of their others. The first few have more of the stereotypical “emo” vibes that I think you weren’t getting with this one. I’d still consider this to be an emo genre, but it’s more of a stylistic album. And it definitely has more “upbeat” songs compared to prior albums.
I hop you listen to more. It’s a great song, and definitely one of their more popular I think, but it’s far from their best. They have some intense songs that show more of their range both in vocals and composition.
I wouldn't really consider any of their albums to be emo tbh. Coming from someone who listened to A LOT of emo lol.
this was actually something like a 'concept album'
As the other commenter said, Real emo isnt at all like MCR, reason we call it emo is because broad society just mixes a lot of subcultures into the label "emo" Gerard Way himself for the longest time disavowed the word emo and called the emo subculture garbage, only later in his career he started using it since at that point they were just considered emo
Great song. Great album from start to finish. Ambitious effort and they pulled it off. I read somewhere that they were listening to Queen at the time and the influence shows on this track, and some of the others on the album.
Every cut on it is fantastic!!!!
@@Eowyn187 I took my daughter to see them when they went on tour with this album, I really enjoyed it!
One of those album that gets looked over, but it's amazing regardless of which rock genre it is.
This album is very Queen, the follow up is very Bowie... I far prefer this one. Fantastic.
Its funny i never connected queen to this song as an influence but its clear as day when i listen now…not sure how I blocked that connection out
Teenagers is my favourite MCR track and definitely worth a listen.
They scare the living 💩 outa me
Don’t sleep on the music video guys, it really elevated the song to another level
This song changed lives! 💯
The Black Parade is where we ALL end up eventually.
The music video is exactly what you are thinking the song would be. Definitely worth a watch.
The album prior to this :chef-kiss:
Miss MCR. This is a fantastic album. So much emotion in every song. May have started “emo” but they really grew as a band and in sound to an extent. Great reaction vid
What do you mean started emo, this band is the definition of emo 😂
They're working on a new album apparently.
soo a new song just came out
@@iwillruletheworldyay shut the front door!
@@stephenjones8105 no really its called The Foundations of Decay
and the emo song you guys reacted to that i think youre thinking of is "the kill" by thirty seconds to mars (jared letos band) ... yes that could be considered emo music. Brad is on point with his subgenres lol
Lengthly list of MCR songs to check out:

I'd put I don't love you as well there.
I love this song SO MUCH! The emotion in his performance in this music video it everything. He’s so good.
MCR is the bridge between punk and emo, Gerard is a freaking genius
I love MCR and this song! I'm happy y'all reacted to it and enjoyed it! 🥰
Okay, I would love to see you guys react to "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" , "Sunsets over Monroeville" , or "The Ghost of You".
This is such an epic song , you may not like it hearing for the first time, cuz it's so much going on, like 3 different songs in one, but it will so damn grow on you.
First time I heard it I was like... Eh, not really my thing. Now I be singing it at the top of my lungs
The music from spring awakening is written by Duncan Sheik, who had his own little rock career with somewhat similar sounds to this sort of music and Linkin Park. Barely breathing is probably his most popular song
This entire album is great! Some of my favorites were Disenchanted, House of Wolves, Famous Last Words, and The Sharpest Lives. Def recommend checking out more of their work. ✌🏽
I used to jam to this in high school! I don't love you, Helena, Ghost of you, teenagers, and I'm not okay are some of my favorites!!!
The Black Parade is a legendary album. Definitely check out some other songs from that album. I would HIGHLY recommend "Mama" and "Sleep" together in order. Those two songs are basically the character in the story of the album going completely insane.
Omg, such fond memories from my 20's when I hear them! Ghost of you is a great one!
I love their song " Helena "
In general when a song comes back from the bridge it's a really good feeling. And this one is one of the best. "I! DON'T! CARE! WE'LL CAAARRY OOOOOOOON!"
Literally every song on this album (except the introductory opener) is in my top 100-150 songs of all time. It's absolute perfection from beginning to end, and this song is in my top 10-15 for sure.
That's how I feel about three cheers for sweet revenge.
Great that you liked this song!! There’s more songs in their catalog, I recommend listening to Mama, Dead, This Is How I Disappear, or Teenagers. All from a great album
Man, that bit about your dad at the end. I was out with my mom and sister not too long after my dad died back in November 2007, and this song came on. It was played everywhere all the time back then, but yeah, definitely hit the heart more than usual that evening.
This hurts me, reaction to it without the video.... they amplifiers eachother, simple but strong video... perfect to the song
Emo music is a subgenre of punk/alternative/indie rock defined by its heavy emotional expression. This is a song about the lead singer's loss of his father to cancer.
Not sure when you guys recorded this but if it was yesterday on January 4th then that’s crazy because that’s the anniversary of my dad’s death as well. He died 5 years ago. Hope you have lots of fond memories of your dad Lex that I do of mine ❤️
lol this is a stretch 🤣
You guys brighten my day with your videos! Thank you
I send my best wishes to Lex. I lost my dad 6 years ago today, and I lost my mom almost a year ago, and this album and song in particular had a big influence on me in my teens. My dad even liked them. I’d make my dad cd’s with a whole bunch of my favorite songs so that he could listen to them too, and this was on one of them. This song makes me think of both of my parents though and it’s great for when I really just need to hear someone tell me that “we’ll carry on”. I got this cd when it came out in 2006 and 16 years it’s still an anthem for me.
I wish you both the best and I hope you and yours are well💚
As someone who grew up in the emo era, Emo can easily be described as "wearing your heart on your sleeve" music. It's all about letting your feelings loose in music form, not necessarily always in a super dark way.
Another high energy song from MCR is “Famous Last Words”.
Great reaction!
I absolutely love this song! It always gets my pumped up but also puts me in a thoughtful mood.
Try the Used or Taking Back Sunday. Those guys were out and about the same time and they had some crazy lyrics in their songs. You guys have been exploring some great music lately. From my childhood oldies songs to the junk of teenage years. Its been a fun seeing you react to these musical gems. Thanks for that!
They might as well do Thursday too 🤷♀️
TBS is love.
Oh man.... this one you definitely have to watch the actual music video. It's so gooood
No a big fan of My Chemical Romance but this is High School sound classic 👌
This might be my VERY heavy bias; but how the fuck can somebody not be a big fan of MCR when Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge exists!?
Love the way yous get straight to the vids.
I wasn’t really into them until this album came out and I became a fan the album is like a rock opera where it tells a whole story from beginning to end of the album
Love that intro so much! Always thought it was bomb and when the song kicks in!!!!
If you've got time it's definitely worth listening to this album from start to finish it's a work of art for sure !
No matter where I go on UA-cam, I can't escape the goblin of Akron 😆.
Such a powerful song. I grew up with this music. This song helped me scream back at the world when I was beaten down.
Do "ghost of you"! But with the music video. Their videos tend to add a lot of needed context. You guys will love that one!
What a great song and such a great band. My personal favorite from them is the ghost of you and the video is a shocker. You have to react to it next. 👏👏👏👏
I really love y'all vibes!! Subbed!
One of a small handful of songs where the very first note lets you know what song it is.
I feel like Lex may enjoy the song teenagers too.
I’m 30 now 😔 I’ve been listening to them since middle school back in 2006, but I think of my middle school years and memories when I listen to music like this and the bands i listened to. i miss all of it.
I hope you do more My Chemical Romance! They have so many great songs! Helena, The Ghost of You, Thank You For the Venom, This is How I Disappear, The Sharpest Lives, I Don't Love You, Sleep, Famous Last Words, etc.
I love this band! I saw them live at a small venue in Providence, RI when they were promoting their second album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.
One of the best shows I've ever been to. Amazing musicians, great live band.
People get too wrapped up in the "Emo" thing. Not even sure what the fuck that means. But even their early albums were incredible.
Gerard Way hated the band being called EMO a huge influence on them was Queen, you can hear it in the guitar solos, Brian May from Queen joined them on stage at the Reading Festival to play this song.
If you want real emo listen to brand new, taking back Sunday, get up kids, jawbreaker, jimmy eat World etc, emo really stems from the punk and hardcore scene before other elements of rock started to find a mainstream sound for it and MCR was put into that class of mainstream emo/ pop punk sound and rage of the early/mid 2000s
This song has been on my workout playlist forever. Major significance for a ton of people for a ton of reasons. Top banger of all time consideration
The black parade is a concept album that tells the story of a guy dying in hospital from cancer and in the story of the album when you die, you enter your favorite memory. For the guy in the story, his favorite memory was going to see a parade with his dad as a little kid.
You beat me to it. I listened to this album a lot while I was in the hospital. I used to play "Blood" for the folks from the Lab when they would come in to take blood.
i have listened to this song thousand times but I got the chills 4-5 times listening it now
OH YEAH!!! I'm so happy to see you guys do MCR.
I really hope you do Brand New or Taking Back Sunday next! You won't regret it:
Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team)
Yes some taking back Sunday please, all there songs are great 👌
Would love to see a brand new reaction. I think Brad would dig the lyrics but I'm not sure lex would be into their style at all though
Great reaction! Please react more ! MCR songs is not very emo ( for me ) and is kind of relatable but is definaly worth to listen! I recommend you guys listen to the black parade album, is one of their best album! And I think maybe you guys would like it ! :D
(Sorry for my terrible English)
Your English is great!
Oh man, it really takes me back to the early days of youtube, arguing with people in the comments section about what is or isn't emo music. MCR had a 'scene' aesthetic, scene sort of being the dyed black hair, eyeliner, etc, kind of a derivative of the goth aesthetic. People often confuse anything scene as emo. Original emo started in the late 80s, from the punk/hardcore scene and didn't sound too much like MCR. In the 00's, screamo music became a thing, also with the scene aesthetic (dialed up to 11), and I'd say screamo is what most people are actually thinking of when they say emo. MCR are pretty much just pop-punk, with heavy influences from rock opera such as Queen (particularly this song) and the darker lyrics and scene aesthetic typical of the 00's.
You should try The Used - Tase of Ink, or Box of Sharp Objects, or Buried Myself Alive. Soo much fun!
I had already liked these guys, but I didn't realize they could write something epic. This was a huge step forward
More emo please! Glassjaw, Thursday, brand new, taking back Sunday, older mcr
You should look up some drum cover of this song on youtube, it's really awesome to see someone rock out to this on the drumkit.
Closest to bohemian rhapsody another band has got in terms of style and delivery, great song! 👍
I love your short intro.
My nephew put that on my computer when he was as kid. I liked it.
Another real good, interesting video you should check out. MCR has some Queen influence. So many great songs, Helena, Famous Last Words, This is How I Disappear, Mama, Bulletproof Heart, I Don’t Love You, I’m Not Okay. I hope other people’s comments fill in ones I forgot to list here. I love MCR.
Yes, Paint it Black is a Rolling Stones song, which is also about grieving and death.
More MCR! Love yall
~* I lost muh bebe a few yrs back...husband of 26 yrs...this song...hit me and I listened to it and it kept me strong and going...cau8se ya have to...esp with a son...and keep strong... love this song!!*~
I love when synchronicity can be witnessed.
Love love love love this song. My one buddy from work and I belt this out randomly while working from time to time just because the vibe feels right.
The Johnathan Young/Caleb Hyles cover of this song is almost as amazing.
I hear that first piano note and already know where we are heading. 👍
MCR ..love them soon much..this is just one of their amazing, beautiful, perfect songs!!
Awesome album in it's time and now still a classic a good rabbit hole , think the song you did was 30sec to mars - the kill
Now that you are diving into my chemical romance. Please react to famous last words… also the whole album of welcome to the black parade tells a full story. As well as 3 cheers for sweet revenge another album by MCR
More of them please!!!! My little black heart desires it so! 🖤🖤🖤
First band of my kids generation we both enjoyed much ..this album in particular
I recommend listening to "Helena" by My Chemical Romance! Or "Mama", its from the Black Parade album as well. This album was one of the first i ever purchased lol I remember taking it to school and kids would borrow it to rip the tracks onto their computers at home lol
Seeing them this year 😊
I would love to see you do Cancer, Mama, and Helena as well for MCR requests!
This I'd say is late Emo when it was more popular and mainstream. Check out the band Funeral for a Friend song Escape artist's never die. One of the first bands whos emotional lyrics and sound was coined as Emo
MCR was always more standard Punk-rock rather than emo in sound IMO, they just had the "emo" fashion style/aesthetic (it was always pretty confusing with both emo music and emo fashion existing in the same era, and bands not necessarily doing both at the same time) which led to them more readily getting lumped into Emo music.
Emo is rooted in Hardcore music (Emo was originally a shortened way of saying "emotional hardcore"), so it's not really dark and sludgy like Marilyn Manson, it's a form of emotional rock music to simplify it. Rites of Spring, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Sunny Day Real Estate, Dashboard Confessional, Taking back Sunday, American Football, Paramore (their early stuff at least) were all examples of emo.
the music video adds so much
Me & my daughter listened to this till it died. Whole album kills it😈🤘 hidden Trac at the end BLOOD¡!!🧛
There's a lot of great MCR, but one of my favorite songs from them has always been "It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish", which is a deep cut, but it's just great.
and Thank You For The Venom.
No there isn't
Wow, ain’t gonna lie. That shit is raw as hell. I like it a lot. The emotion and passion In his voice and the music.
Man. The lyrics are deep too. How to carry on the legacy of people who died but be happy and continue your life! Maybe I’m emo wow 🖤🥀🖤❤️🩹

My favorite by them, you need to watch the video video. It adds a whole new layer.
The Black Parade is my favorite album ever. I was laughing when you said the thing with Linkin Park, because while they are very different stylistically, I got into both bands in the same month. If you want something darker, I’d suggest Helena or if you’re up for something more theatrical, you have to check out Mama. If you want something more upbeat, check out Party Poison or Na Na Na.
You should watch their music videos. They are full of energy and very dynamic. It adds to the MCR experience.
