First REACTION to "Rock Music" My Chemical Romance ( Teenagers ) 

Here’s the link to the Patreon for request and Merch discount 🔥🔥🤘🏽-> patreon.com/Layedbakdfr ‪

From Gerard, the lead singer: "It's a commentary on kids being viewed as meat; by the government and by society. That's how I felt in school, and after 9/11 happened that's how I felt in general. It's very important that this song is here because I always viewed this as about these kids in the parade who had killed themselves, who had made a big mistake. It's a very powerful song."

16 years since Black Parade was released and I'm still amazed at Toro's guitar skills. There's a reason they referred to him as The Mad Scientist. Dude can get it.

This entire album (The Black Parade) is considered the golden standard of Emo/Rock music. Its fantastic from start to finish and has a narrative all the way through all based around death.

Another song that you might possibly like by my chemical romance would be "Ghost of you" it's great

I would LOOOOOOOVE to see more My Chemical Romance reactions

The reason MCR lasted years after they left, was because they were REAL. Everything they wrote about was not hiding from what was real and how people really felt.

You should do Famous Last Words by them. That one might blow you up, and it has a better message. Although this one too, the video ends up with a message against violence

"This is bringing me to a movie" I think that's why I love My Chemical Romance so much! Very cinematic. Even when you didn't have a music video to paint a picture, you could easily find one in your head.

As someone that grew up on these guys, this song has always been about how the older generations demonize the youth. Pushing medications instead of talking thru and educating, how the next generation is always the “worst”. It’s got an easy to chant vibe because “what you’ve got under your shirt will make them pay for the things that they did” speaks to having lungs, a voice and the heart to get thru it all.

If you want another one from this album, 'Sleep' hits different.

It feels good to finally find someone review music and actually speak with confidence and intelligence, instead of just saying it’s trash cause it ain’t their preferred genre, great video man!

Gerard Way is an amazing lyricist! Created the umbrella academy comic book, which the shows based off. *This song was made long ago, way before the current gen situations that go down, eerie how it is way more relevant today.

" the best revenge is success." Words to live by.

Man, I just love your vibe. You're so intelligent, so articulate, so caring, so sensitive to the needs of others. You've honestly taught me a lot over the years I've watched you about what it is to be a person. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you. I'd fucking love to get to meet you some day.

I don’t know if this song has been suggested but a great song from my teenage years “FACE DOWN - RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS” Such an important message and a great track

Very surprised you heard about this one. One of my other favorite songs by My Chemical Romance is Mama. 😁

Haven’t stopped by in a minute. That new background view is killer 💙

Not my favorite song from them but so happy you got around to reacting to MCR!! I remember seeing them way back in 02 or 03 at a super small venue in NJ when I was in college and then to see them blow up was amazing! Saw them again at The Terminal NYC to a sold out venue...I thought the balcony was going to fall.

Man I love your rock reactions, I saw this title and got so hype!!!

Hands down the best reaction channel around!! Love the positivity and having an open mind to other genres of music you might not have been aware of or into. LayedBakDFR has at least one fan in Salt Lake. SLC to ATL!!

This song comes from The Black Parade which was a concept album that follows The Patient who had been to war and done things he regretted. This song is him looking back on his childhood and realizing he was always being pushed to shut up, conform, and obey. He was always being pushed (or programmed) towards where he ended up in the military.

Damn this brings me back to highschool. MCR was a daily play for sure.

Bro, thanks for bringing this song back for me... This was what I rocked while I was traveling the world as an Air Force loadmaster, mostly in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan

Aye.....my favorite MCR song. Love your channel man, been riding with you about 2 years now. The journey has been great.

surprised you havent heard this one yet! definitely in their top 5, alone with classics like WTTBP, Helena, and I'm Not Okay. Keep up the good work!

Let’s gooooo MCR

I truly enjoy this one man thank you! Much love, my top favorite reactor.

What is really outstanding about MCR is that the songs put out to promote them are actually not the best ones. This one and few more "most viewed" is the moneymakers. There's so much more and I'll hope you keep going. Hugs from Sweden.

Yo also, real talk, thank you @LayedBakDFR! You’re always positive, and always reminding me how to push through. I appreciate you. Thank you for teaching me how to appreciate myself. I wish you nothing but success, happiness, truth, liberty, and always the pursuit of happiness. Thank you my brother of this world.

The biker bar music style you were asking about is called Honky Tonk.

What’s up? Layed bak this is my favorite band! Thanks bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾

this song is rly fun to dance around to lol! I also recommend Mama from the same album, it's a super cool track

Just joined your patreon and listed my first two requests! I hope you like them.

My chemical romance was my First ever concert!! Love them.. glad you did it

This album literally saved my life. I have it tattooed on me

Love the this “pink look good” hell yeah for the positivity

You should do a drum and bass series I'd love to see it. Really big over here in the UK

Love The reactions man!!!

Excited for this reaction💯

please more my chemical romance, one of Goated bands Like for real.

To quote Gerard way: Lead singer Gerard Way (from Kerrang! magazine, November 2006): "It's a commentary on kids being viewed as meat; by the government and by society. That's how I felt in school, and after 9/11 happened that's how I felt in general. It's very important that this song is here because I always viewed this as about these kids in the parade who had killed themselves, who had made a big mistake. It's a very powerful song."

I absolutely enjoy watching your reactions

I love this mans positivity ❤️

I really like how open minded you are man! Please do more My Chemical Romance! ❤

A pool hall, ha! Man pool halls are a great time, lotta great laughs

I love your message even if the song means something really different to the fans and the band. Seriously... your care and compassion and worry was amazing for this. I get it, though. It's a heavy song with lyrics meant to bring out strong emotions. and you took it and promoted mental health. A+ human-ing, thank you

No idea how long I've been waiting for this reaction

please do more Beatbox reaction Layed, miss those so much.

Gotta play their recent drop, foundations of decay

Things were different then, but it's got more feeling and truth now

it's been a min since I checked out my boy layed. love this song a classic emo anthem. I suggest travie mccoy-the bridge or I'll never be loved. ps. you looking fresh af and the pink looks dope.

the video for this song there is a message at the end where they say if you are thinking about acting out telling people to get help

This popped up for me, and upon watching.... instant subscribe.

Ayy Teenagers I've been waiting for this one

Hey man, been a while since I've seen your videos like the fresh look! I know it's not mew to you but it is to me😂

Another reason Ray Toro is my favorite guitarist, its very punk rock with hints of country twang, it goes together so damn good

I took it as bullying can lead to lashing out when enough becomes too much. High school was all about fitting in , standing out from popularity, and marginalizing those that were not the "norm." If you feel you need to seek revenge, by all means, talk to someone, get help, get counseling, get away from those who you feel oppressed by. Those years are emotional and you will get past them, but dont hold it in and let it fester til you have to do something extreme.

Another reaction to my favorite band of all time. Finally 🤘

Love the videos man keep up the work! Also you should react to Pete & Bas - Mr Worldwide. It would shock you I promise that.

I can’t remember if you’ve reacted to Welcome To The Black Parade by them as well. If not, definitely one you need to check out

im always bumping my head with him

It would be cool to see you do this again and actually react to the video, it makes the song that much better

between the two mainstream songs on this album by MCR. Teenagers gives us a auditory view on how society views the activities that teens did back in the 1990-early 2000. while dealing with major tropes like "dream" crushing voiced opinions, how cliques are more hurtful than they seem in school than they are helpful, and how we are expected to be carbon copies of one another and just fall into line like the ideal citizen. while the other song which I hope you do a reaction to down the line is " Welcome to the Black Parade" has a similar message structure to Metallica's Master of Puppets the somber and sad tone behind black parades theme of death being personified in every instrumental piece and the struggle to deal with death throughout the entire song from the very beginning note and lyrical line is just another reason to react to it. that being said this entire album is a interconnected rock opera and it might be worth just doing a longer reaction to each song or make it a playlist because it is about young man called "the patient" and it goes through the cycle of life, death, and afterlife. whilst each song can still be individually enjoyed it is all connected in 1 album and that is something to enjoy about MCR's Black Parade.

You’re thinking right about what the song means. Glad you liked it! It grows on you. My rating is 8/10.

😆🥰 I Love it when people discover MCR and become lovers of their music. 🤘🏼😝👏🏼

If you take recommendations from the comment section, two rock songs that I LOVE are 5 years and star man by David Bowie. All time classics. Really interesting songs, nothing like them.

Tauren Wells “undefeated” featuring KB. KB also has a song called undefeated that you have reacted to. This is a different song

For real man the whole album is a full on story it's a great listen and is always playing in my car

Lol you must have been reading my mind, I was also thinking the pink shirt looked good on you.

there's actually a notice at the end of the music video that speaks out against violence amongst youth

The pink does look good ❤️

It would be cool if you reacted to Venus Fly Trap by Brakence. He does Hyperpop similar to Glaive but he has his own distinct sound. His voice is legendary too, he does minimal voice editing in his songs because his voice fits so well with his type of music.

I like a lot of My Chemical Romance songs especially this one and they’re a good band

Here’s an unknown song but you’ll definitely find it interesting and probably like it but it’s kind of dark, it’s called sunsets over monroville by my chemical romance

I just stumbled on your channel but I am a fan of My Chemical Romance. This song was the MCR song that made a fan. Being a teen at the time when it came out I thought it was just a straight up anthem for us teens. It took repeated listens to work out that there was more to it than that. This is still a teen anthem in my opinion, but it's also a critique of the mentality from those who are older who seem to expect that teens will become violent just because they are teens. The offical video makes it clear that the song is supposed to be anti-violence because at the end it says "Violence is NEVER the answer. If you feel like acting out, REACH OUT".

Hey, when will you react to the loopstations and solo battles from GBB?

Listen to: Thank you for the venom or helena by My Chemical Romance!

You should react to cute without the e (cut from the team) Taking Back Sunday. One of my favorites

Hey is that pink shirt one of the shirts you sell? I really love that color and want to get one lol Edit: never mind I just found it. I’m assuming it’s the cotton pink one. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong anyone.

Not sure if you've heard it, but Famous Last Words is my favorite song by them. It's pretty rocking 🤟

I'm a big fan of My Chem, and I do like this song, but I agree that it doesn't blow me away either.

I'm not ok is another amazing song from them

Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance is my favorite!

Banger of a song

gotta listen to Ghost of you - my chemical romance. That one hits different.

Great video man. I'd love to see you react to "Jet Fuel" by Mac miller; it's been a minute since the Fire Squad has seen him

Please do Famous Last Words! You'll be blown away trust me!

You should do you don’t get me high anymore by three days grace

Dark song, bright notes and upbeat song. Deadly combo.

At the end of the video theres a message that says something like "violence is never the answer"

I agree that pink look good

For your next rock reaction you should do September's Childre by Rise Against.. Amazing song with a fantastic message 🙏

Please do Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

You need to do Planetary GO! ... It's more hype and high tempo definitely more your style I reckon!!!

Heyyy let’s goooo

Wherever I may roam

The Ghost of You, Welcome to the Black Parade or Mama is what I would have suggested.

ayee yessir good song right here

i would definitely love to see your reaction to shogun by trivium, great reactions ❤️
