    This is my top 6 riffs by MyChemical Romance. Why 6? because I think these are the very best off of their albums. Of course, I like all their music. Btw, this is my own opinion.
    This band is very special to me, because thanks to them I wanted to become a musician since I was kid. And, as weird as it sounds, they made me like heavier music. Yup, first some core and emo stuff, and then, that lead me to the love of my life, metal music.
    Making this video was actually pretty fun because I got to know what kind of gear they used at the time, tried to replicate their guitar tone and remembered how well done their songs are.
    00:00 - Riff 6
    00:17 - Riff 5
    00:44 - Riff 4
    01:12 - Riff 3
    01:37 - Riff 2
    02:10 - Riff 1

    Frank coming from a punk/HC background and Ray coming from a metal background, I think it gives them this style thats unique to the band while also being very accessible and enjoyable on the ears, while also leaving space for and complimenting Gerards theatrical vocal style

    I knew about this band since I was a kid but didn't ACTUALLY get into them until the 10th anniversary of The Black Parade. Since then, I've kinda realized that out of all their contemporaries, they're by far the closest to being a legitimate, traditional rock band (well, without the sex and drugs). Compared to Fall Out Boy, Panic!, All-American Rejects, and more of that scene, MCR legitimately rocked the hardest out of all of them. I'll always respect them for that.

    • @CarloFenrir

      For me they're super special because they are the reason I decided to be a musician. And I agree, I think of all those bands they stayed true to their style. Besides they introduced me to metal music! They have a lot of heavy metal influence in their songs and playing. Thanks for watching!
