FIRST TIME HEARING - My Chemical Romance - Black Parade (REACTION!!) 

This song really was the ‘bohemian rhapsody’ of gen y, all of us at the turning of age into adulthood going through mental trouble, it truly was and still is an anthem. much like Mr Brightside is the Wonderwall (oasis) of our gen too 😂

It’s a concept album, well worth a listen. Also Helena and I’m Not Ok are a couple of great tracks from the previous album.

The album was telling a story though every song (a bloke dying of cancer and remembering life). Is that the definition of a concept album?..... The lady in the gasmask was "Mother War" and her two companions, flanking the "dead guy" when he was awarded the medal, were "Grief" and "Misery". Did you read the sign they were holding? - "Starved to death in a land of plenty" 5:49 . The drummer was the shyest guy in the band! ..... Another great song from this album was "Famous Last Words" - positive despite the title! I've mentioned "Helena" (from a prior album) before too. The band "Taking Back Sunday" supported them on one tour - some great songs from them too e.g. "What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost?" "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)" and "My Blue Heaven". (Edit: Brit Pops 1 - Happy Birthday for yesterday!)

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.

I would very much recommend "mama" as a next listen, it is a totally different side of them.

Some Millennials would say this song is their “Bohemian Rhaspody”. MCR is a very interesting band with unique music in my opinion. You should check out more of their library of songs.

Just occurred to me, and I can't believe I haven't seen it elsewhere, but... "Queen Day"? Not a bad description of the sound, particularly of this song.

I'm not sure if you've watched The Umbrella Academy on Netflix, but Gerard Way, the lead singer, wrote that comic book series and Netflix has made it into a show. There is also a live performance of this song with Brian May on guitar 🙂

Brian May actually played guitar with them on stage in concert for a few songs.

My Chemical Romance was a regular opening act for Green Day on the American Idiot tour, and while MCR’s previous album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, was also a concept album, its story is not as well portrayed. The Black Parade album absolutely takes influence from Green Day in the ability to convey the story they want to tell.

Nice reaction! Did you know Brian May played this song with them at the Reading Festival in 2011? He also said Gerard Way, main vocalista, reminded him of Freddie Mercury

So proud when you compare them to QUEEN 👍

Thanks for the reaction guys 👍 From one of my favourite albums.... my music taste is quite diverse 😎

This song is like the modern day Bohamian Rapsody by Queen.

This song was number one in U.K. in 2006. Hope you guys listen to more of their stuff someday.

Check out their songs Helena, Famous Last Words, The Ghost of You, This is How I Disappear, The Sharpest Lives, I Don't Love You, and Sleep.

Yes youre right this band called queen fro my gen

I hear Queen in so many of their songs, and so many reactors miss it. Kodus To me they're kind of like if Pink Floyd and Queen had babies

Funny you said Queen. I always thought they were british. Was surprised, when you said they are from the states. I was kind of aware of My Chemical Romance, but never dug deep into them. I think this one may be the only one i rly know of them. Voicewise and a little musicwise i am reminded of Smashing Pumpkins. Maybe not so much because they are alike more like the mood of the song. I think it may be 1979, the song i am thinking of. May edit this later after I have done my research xd Hm. I might have thought about "Tonight, Tonight" but apperantly my mind played tricks on me. They are not rly close. Well, just shows the my brain is not that trustworthy xd As I wanted to give my scores, too. My score is 6/10.

Brian May also did the Guitar on the Studio Version, he is credited on the Album. He also did it live with them a few times.

Great tune guys.🎶 Hope your play more from them. Next time you play these can you tell me more info from Chemical Romance. Ta Ta

3:32 that's what I thought at first... then I read that the vocalist - Gerard Way was inspired by Freedie and Queen

MCR is THE SH*T!

Sometimes all it needs is.... that is a great song

Queen Day

Def gotta do their song Helena

9:40 I think you are thinking of Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag.

can i request that you look up lyrics or pay more attention instead of comparing it please? i watched two of your videos and already the comparing feels a bit irritating and overdone. overall i am happy you seem to like them.

Please react to Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love

Is the Black Parade maybe a funeral procession? And how people will remember you with both remorse and inspiration?

Came from the middle age man who use faceinhole of the Gallengher's brother "Noel" , compare them to Queen it's no news, OMG it goes worst Blink 182? No Queen guys, they are unique, great band. They don't sing same line 20 times 🤣 My score for Oasis is 2 good songs and a DRAMA

To liken mcr to mcfly and busted is a travesty, my chemical romances not Brit pop, they are a rock band, and black parade is probably the best album ever written, just my opinion 👍

waiting for your next blackpink reaction

can you react to can you feel my heart by bring me the horizon ? pls

People invariably pause right before that dramatic transition & it really lessens the impact; you should just turn it off & start over at that point.

Y'all missed the point in a way that is physically painful.

MCR 🖤❤🤍
