A summoning... 

it all comes together in a big story. cause if theres one thing Gerard is, he's a writer. edit: holy shit that's a lot of likes...

MCR fans: argues for years about how MCR aren't an emo death cult MCR: hold my eyeliner

Producer: how dramatic do you want the announcement to be? Mcr: YES

Producer: How many references do you want in this? MCR: *YES*

Most bands: We’re going on tour! 😁 MCR: We’re a cult! 😁 do you want to see us live or something btw?

*pokes mcr with stick * hey do something *poke, poke *

8 fucking months... don't do this to us, Gerard... we need that 5th album...

The energy this video emits is that of Gerard telling the reporter how they tie their fans up and bring them to strange places in a van

Director: *How many references should we do?* MCR: *Yes*

Bet they didn’t pay for actors, they just agreed.

I hope this kid knows how lucky he is to be part of this masterpiece dhajagsidhe

MCR DOING A TRIBUTE TO MCR... WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

“how extra do you want to be when you announce your tour?” mcr: “yes”

When this came out I was like “that’s it, 2020 is going to be the best year ever!” Little did I know...

Interesting

The My Chemical Romance Cinematic Universe

Helena’s dress in this video is the replica dress I made 12 years ago. After having the worst year of my life and being in the worst depression I ever have, it’s crazy that somehow someway MCR still managed to bring me comfort and cheer me up, now and for the past 15 years. I had the dress for sale for almost two years and declined multiple lower offers on it until a stylist bought it to be used in this video, anyway moral of the story is don’t ever settle on giving up your art/creations/skills for less than you’re happy with

Petition to have some MCR songs in the next season of The Umbrella Academy or at least another cameo.

MCR: *announces they’re going on tour* COVID-19: *HOLD MY MASK*

Director: How nostalgic do you want the video? MCR: Yes.

this has the same energy as the warning on the bullets cd that says unauthorized duplication will result in gerard coming to your house and drinking your blood

remember when Frankie said they wouldn’t be cryptic if they were getting back together?

Me: in the middle of watching A Summoning RU-vid: Ah yes perfect time for a Dunkin Donuts ad

Remember years back and there was a legit tumblr post of someone drawing a pentagram and placing the albums across the points and there were candles lit omg I couldn’t be happier with the fuckin vibe this gives me.

MCR's new song: "Okay maybe the vampires will hurt you"

tomorrow it’s going to be a year since this released, isn’t that fucking crazy? feels like it was yesterday

Imagine if the whole mcr coming back together thing was actually cuz some teenager and their friends summoned them and they couldn't say no..

MCR’s candle budget must be through the roof at this point

Helena still so beautiful after all these years and DAMN her arms, shoulders, and back are TONED AF

i will never forget the feeling i got watching this for the first time. When they broke up when I was 12 I thought I would never be able to see my favorite band live. Now, 22, I can say I saw them :')

I will never forget when i went to the bathroom at school just to watch this on the premiere

Regular Artist: “Hey guys I’m going on tour.” MCR: Makes a whole short film to announce they are going on tour.

I can only imagine when they were brainstorming this video it was mostly the band sitting around in a dark room going "how can we absolutely destroy all of our fans in under 14 minutes"

Did anyone watch through this whole thing thinking he was about to start singing but never did 😂😅😞

This whole thing feels like I'm watching a short horror film...

My take on this: It's us, the kids from yesterday. We've been to so many eras but we didn't quit running. And now they welcome us to a new "door," a new era, and part of it is because we've successfully "summoned" the band after going through so much for the past years. The kids also never stopped recalling and reopening the doors which MCR left. Ending's message felt like, "Here's the final door, meet us at these stadiums." I kinda see the resemblance of actor and young Gerard Way though. Nevertheless, hope they do an Asia leg! We need the boys back in the Philippines!

"You've summoned us.. and now we're summoning you."

2020: global pandemic and satanic rituals. Me: It's gonna be a bumpy ride folks.

Almost two years ago since this happened I'm still holding out hope that I may be able to see my favorite band live even if it is, just one tour

I see people talking about the ‘V’s in the video, but guys, the protagonist went through a door for every album... they only have four official albums right now, why is there a fifth door???? 👀

Me: *Hears beeping* Also me: COME ONE COME ALL TO THIS TRAGIC AFFAIR-

I can’t express how amazing the references are in this

Just left the final of the 5 shows at the Forum that was referenced in the end. What an epic residency. I saw two of the 5 shows. Part of me hoped this video meant there would be new music played or announced at the show. There wasn’t anything new, but it was still amazing!!

mcr is gonna have a hard time explaining to people that they aren’t a cult after this one

mcr really did all THAT just to announce tour dates. imagine how dramatic they’re gonna be when they actually drop a new album lmao

to be honest, i watch this everytime I feel sad because of online school. It cheers me up :)

POV you just recently became a huge MCR fan and binge watched all their videos and finally got to this one

mcr in the middle of a ritual: we’re still not a cult

Me: Mom, My Chemical Romance isn't a cult. My Chemical Romance: umMmMmMmm--

this is only 13 mis long and is 10x more moving than any show ive ever watched.

The dracs, Pansy, the club in Hell from House of Wolves, the hospital from Cancer and Dead!, the murder scene couple and Helena. Gods that took me back. The nights I would spend listening and crying and singing. For a while I couldn't even comment, I was speechless. This is My Chemical Romance. This is the band that made the music that got me through so much in so little time. Thank you for it all.

3:08 the vampires didn't hurt the boy because VAMPIRES WILL NEVER HURT YOU

"a summoning" more like "how many cryptic messages can mcr put in one video"

the fact that i got here by searching "how to summon gerard"

I was at McDonald's when this came out.. I remember eating my cheeseburger while CRYING from happiness :D

Well this thing is 13 minutes long and it's more moving than the entire Riverdale series.

I just noticed that when the Heart Rate monitor in the Black Parade part Flatlines, the number on the screen reads “518”. 5/18/2012 was the last show MCR played, indicating the death of the band.

Knowing they canceled their tours and plans because of the pandemic just makes me bitter

As a newish fan watching this exactly a year after it premiered and realizing that one of the planned tour stops was only a few hours from my house makes me want to be able to see them live so much more.

"Vampires will never hurt you" They said. Sure

When you realize that MCRs last song they wrote was fake your death, They literally faked their death! Now they’re back!

watching this in september 2020 just to feel something

The car chasing him while "Na na na" is playing is gold.

Is anyone going to point out that they changed all the "U"s in the end to "V"s and that they have only released 4 albums and that the roman numeral for 5 is "V"? A FIFTH ALBUM?!

When the summoner went through each of the doors, each door bitch slapped me with nostalgia. I cried when Helena showed up and that Black Parade Hospital. I'm just so....... Happy.

I wanna summon Gerard Way to my house. Dw we'll wear masks

1:19 Bullets 4:14 Three Cheers 6:10 Black Parade 8:01 Danger Days

*a summoning* *me smiling at the screen like an idiot for 13 minutes straight*

killjoys from 2013: When will MCR come back? or will they even? MCR in 2020: YES 10:52

everyone else is talking about all the references but i'm still not over billy wirth being in the video as a vampire. love him the lost boys

Since there are other song lyric references in this video, could this eye drawing at 0:27 possibly refer to The Light Behind Your Eyes? 3:13 And on the wall it says “Saints protect her now.” Which is from the interlude on TCFSR. 3:52 Oh, here’s another thing on the chalkboard. The drac head is kinda in the way, but you can see that it could say “like ghosts in the snow”. This is whispered at the end of “Vampires Will Never Hurt You” and at the end of “The World Is Ugly”. 3:52 Some other things I see on the board here are “Always Innocent” ,“Paradise”, and to the left of the left drac, it kinda looks like it says “Save Bob”? If anyone knows anything more about these, please let me know in replies. 4:43 These same booklet thingys are also being handed out at the beginning of “Helena”. 4:58 Okay, okay. I know this is meant to resemble the Revenge album cover, but I just now realized it’s the album cover for LOTMS (the live album for TCFSR). 5:14 Helena (duh) 6:36 Okayyy, this looks familiar for some reason (I could use some help here!) 7:00 The Patient (another duh) 8:04 California 2019 (obvious). Oh, and at 8:08 the back of the car says “Look Alive Sunshine”. 11:18 I believe this is the same auditorium where part of “The Kids From Yesterday” was filmed. 12:46 Black Parade jacketsss Welp, that concludes the lists of all the references I could find in this video. Any others I missed?

MCR: THE MOVIE COMING SOON

me: pff i'm totally over my emo phase mcr: no you're not me: no i'm not

I discovered MCR in 2020 and became a Killjoy this very year. I really regret finding them so late but anyways better late than never. When I first watched this video in July I had no idea what was going on but now I'm able to catch almost all the little details.

If any other band released this, I'd be 100% sure they were releasing a new album. Today, they released a new single and I am still only 80% sure its an album... though that's a clear step up compared to being only 50% sure yesterday. Thanks MCR. I already have Foundations of decay lyrics memorised, now give me more to dig my teeth into. I only got a week until I die at the concert and I want to know I didn't miss anything before I drop dead.

I really don’t think that this was solely to announce a tour. There’s no way. This is the start of something far far bigger

We’re still waiting for a come back ... we know y’all still got it.

Dear my chemical romance, We need you more than ever, your songs have and continue to inspire people all over the world, Your music saves lives and we need more people like you. Not people, we need you, gerard, Ray, Frank, mikey we need you, I know you'll never read this but to all the people who do Killjoys make some noise, we're the MCRmy So long and goodnight

Okay but when that kid was struggling to put on his black Converse....I FELT that

i love how Helena graduated from softshoe/demipointe to pointe shoe. really shows how much we've all grown since the beginning

Can you believe this trailer came out 2 years ago!? And I'm FINALLY seeing them next week, so excitedddd!!! :D

Is this a tutorial how to summon dead bands? :D let me get this straight: the guy is summoning MCR to kill those vampire guys from nanana, then they attack, he appears in some kind of vampire club (where they watch the ghost of you xD), then he comes tooo wedding of Demolition lovers or what, then he sees Helena, then the vampire guys appear again, he runs away, he appears in hospital that looks like it´s from Black Parade video, vampire guys are here again, he hides, he runs away, they chase him, he appears in nanana car, he falls out of nanana car, nanana car almost runs him over, vampire guys are getting annoying, he runs away, the world exploded, he´s in the middle of some random candle circle now, then he walks through candle path, in the end there is ouija board thats saying yes, he looks happy, lights turned on, he is somewhere, then there are some dates, after them there is skeleton in black parade jacket in desert and probably dead vampire guys And before you ask if I am stupid because there are so many mcr signs, yes I am stupid becasue I am a new fan so I don´t know much :D

You know your band is setting a high bar when they make a 13 minute promotional film for a few concerts

For anyone wondering, the top of the Ouija board says "NEU JERSEY [New Jersey]" in the Theban alphabet. I just spent the past 5 minutes trying to translate it.

I absolutely adore this video. Holy cow is it the most thoroughly thought out and executed video. It does such an amazing job of invoking awe, amazement, nostalgia, and all the other emotions. Job well freaking done. I am so excited!

And I'm still waiting in August 23th 2021.

Twenty Øne Piløts: We have the most cryptic videos! My Chemical Romance: Hold our cult cloaks.

I STARTED SCREECHING DURING THE HELENA SCENE edit: GUYS THEY REFERENCED EVERY ALBUM IM SCREECHINGGG

Beautiful video to announce MCR's return... loved it

Mcr: A summoning.... Also my brain: EVERY SNOWFLAKES DIFFERENT JUST LIKE YOU

this is hands down the coolest tour announcement vid i've ever seen. they way he ran through all the different worlds UHHHH im emotional

All easter eggs/references i could find: - asthma meds - clothes in closet - hotel bella muerte key - croquet stuff - medic helmet in bar - words on wall in bar (Saints protect her now, xoxo etc) -‘fire at will’ on matchbox - shrine with loved ones - pansy (frank's old guitar) - skeleton onesie - gas mask on wall - ghost of you on tv - three cheers inside album art on wall - the rorschach test reminded me of watchmen so maybe desolation row? Added from comments: - "starved in the land of.." sign - our lady of sorrows on shrine - "NJ" on mug - top of the ouija board says "new jersey" Feel free to add more, i left the obvious ones out on purpose ;) (Helena, demo lovers, dd cars, draculoids, black parade hospital etc)

Helena...(4:13)Always Tears me up..The Music...

My Chemical Romance is the reason I don't cut anymore and I didn't kms. I'm so grateful to be able to listen to mcr.

The moral of the story: avoid playing the track “Romance”.

MCR: "A summoning" Me: So basically a bunch of references

Now its going down They went from depressed kid IM NOT OKAY To NANANANANA Cheesy stuff To Demon come to this earth in a grave of earth Tf i used to listen to IM NOT OKAY before the mass in church Edit also all the references is unbelievable ahh

lol it’s been 4 years since the reunion and nothing but merch drops and ticket sales. Thank you so much MCR for coming back or whatever this was. Like I really hope whatever yall are working on is amazing because I was a senior when the announcement came. It’s been almost 5 years and nothing of substance has been announced or even hinted at other than the Foundations of Decay. It’s just really frustrating to be a fan of a band that feels like it just came back to milk money. But to all of MCR I still love yall just as much as I did yesterday. You guys are my world. I wish yall would do something big. I hope you will one day. So long and Goodnight friends.
