I Brought you my Bullets, You Brought me your Love Reaction by My Chemical Romance (PART2) 

So 'Skylines and Turnstiles' is the song that started it all. Gerard Way (the singer) was on a ferry from Jersey to Manhattan (where he was working in graphic design) on September 11th 2001. He saw it with his own eyes, from the Hudson River. He wrote the lyrics to try to express what even being witness to that meant to him. He contacted his brother and some friends . . . And 'My Chemical Romance' was the result. 'steel corpses stretch out toward an ending sun, scorched and black' will still endure as one of the most impactful lyrics ever written, in my opinion.

Early Sunsets over Monroeville is based on dawn of the dead, where they hole up in a shopping mall. In the song, he gets him and his love to safety, only to find she got bitten. She tells him she loves him as she dies, and leaves her body to reanimate... So he has to put a bullet through her head. The emotion behind that dilemma is conveyed very well. Also, if you want rap with emotion, Hopsin's ill mind 7... Rap + emotion

Skylines and turnstiles is a song Gerard wrote about 9/11, because he actually witnessed it while working for cartoon network. He actually started the band because of 9/11

to the emotions in early sunsets: apparently it was a lot even for the band, like after gerard recorded the vocals the rest of them had to go outside for a bit and recover, especially cause like that's their friend and then he starts singing and pulls out emotions like that yk also, everyone else has mentioned all the other songs you have left and the lore for some of the songs on this album, but if you're interested in learning more about the band and shit theres a long ass documentary called Life on the Murder Scene that they made with footage through the years up to just before The Black Parade. It gets pretty dark at points and gets into gerard's mental health/addiction, but is really interesting and cool

It is the last concept album, but there’s still conventional weapons, which is 10 more songs

there isss technically one more album with songs you havent heard before, its called Conventional Weapons, they're partly leftovers from danger days but the fandom holds it as its own album. so if youre ever craving that MCR itch again that's still there 👀

Good news!!! You still got more songs to go. Still got the Conventional Weapons albums Black Parade B side Life on the Murder Scene ( Bury me in black and Desert Song) And a rare song called Sister to Sleep. Enjoyed your reviews.

Early sunsets is in my opinion their best song on the album. The second half just hits so hard

Fun fact: Skylines and Turnstiles is the first MCR song ever recorded. Is about the 9/11, when Gerard experiences the fall of the towers. He was very traumatized and when he got home, he started to write the lyrics of the song. Now that i see it, this is not very funny😢 P.S: Pardon my english, i speak Portuguese😅

Fun fact, Vampires Will Never Hurt You and Early Sunsets Over Monroeville are songs that are completely inspired by horror movies and horror tropes! Early Sunsets is directly inspired by the zombie apocalypse movie Dawn of The Dead, while Vampires is, well, Vampires! Great reacts so far, hoping you'll check out MCR's B-sides and their single collection called Conventional Weapons!

The reason Early Sunsets sounds so emotional is because Gerard suffered severe tooth pains during the recording of this album, but he insisted on singing this song all in one take, which would’ve hurt a lot. The band members then went out for a smoke break because of how emotional his voice was, and Gerard fainted from the pain he felt.

Damn bro you almost had me cryin at the end too 😭. This band got me through some hard times, you couldn’t have chosen a better band to kickstart your channel. Although you finished the big 4 concept albums, there’s still conventional weapons and foundations of decay. Either way can’t wait to hear the next band you listen to! My recommendation: Pierce The Veil 🔥

I love your monologue a minute or so into 'Early sunsets' about it being a love song . . . Because I was thinking ' . . . Yeh buddy, give it a minute' It turns on a dime It is inspired by a movie, but that movie is 'Dawn of the dead' 😅😅

You should listen to Ronin by Ibaraki ft. Gerard Way, his vocals are definitely a lot different than it usually is.

What you said about This is the best day ever really struck with me, because the first few times I listened to Bullets and even some parts of Three Cheers I didn’t really get it and afterwards I couldn’t even remember the songs because as you said it’s kind of a mental workout, so you really have to listen to the songs and try to figure out what is going on and I learned from experience that you can’t listen to it while doing something else at least not for the first time. thank you for explaining to me why I had trouble understanding MCR at first haha

You DEFINITELY have to react to Conventional Weapons. It's not an official album technically speaking, not like the ones you have reacted to, rather it's a compilation of their scrapped songs recorded in 2009 before they settled on Danger Days - but it's well worth it. I fully believe some of MCRs best songs are on Conventional Weapons - Boy Division, Kiss the Ring, The Light Behind Your Eyes, etc.

I think this album and 3 cheers are my favorites.

Demolition Lovers is very synonymous to Rites of Spring's End on End, both are the last songs of their respective albums. There are also similarities with the song structure and feel with abrupt tempo changes and vocals on the verge of breakup

Damn, you’re really an authentic person man I’m so glad I found you channel and being part of your origin as a content creator. Good luck and keep reacting to good music.

Great reaction/analysis. You should react to their b-sides and, of course, Conventional Weapons.

I just wanted to say how great these reactions are, I literally found your channel yesterday and have just finished watching all your mcr reactions because they are really great and it makes me happy to see how much you grew to enjoy and love this band just as much as I do. So thanks for doing this!

ok, lets go. headfirst for halos was my most listened song on spotify last year lol. are u calling me emo???? yeah maybe you're right hahaha demolition lovers is definitely one of the best mcr songs! i completely agree with how well the songs represent their feelings, like, something kind of chaotic, desperate, intense... i really love how they represent it so well! i think that's why so many people can relate to their songs. in the documentary (im just saying 👀) they talk about the purpose of the band to help messed up people by showing them "we're messed up too and we've been through it and now we do what we do!" well they really did. they are really important to me in many ways. really thank you for this content and for all the love! it's really nice to see someone's first reaction to something you like so much, i get so excited haha it's like my first reaction again ps: you should react to cw and the other songs outside the album!! like "fake your death", "emily", "BURY ME IN BLACK " and ( if you want to cry for days) "desert song". sorry for taking so long! it's really one of the things i love the most and im so excited to talk about it :)

I said this before but Headfirst for Halos is the song that unlocked MCR's creatively said by Gerard Way. A upbeat song about suicide. I love the guitar on this song and the drums. Honestly my favorite song made by them. I love this album,it's my 2nd favorite by them,just under Three Cheers. MCR + Upbeat =Suicide Meaning. I'm happy you love the song as much as I do! I love your reactions,keep up the good work!

Your personality is really likable. Would never have guessed you were just 18. Will check out your vlogs some time for sure.

thank you for the reaction! waiting for foundations 😊

Skylines is my favorite track from this album.

On the topic you were talking about with Headfirst for Halos and the lyrics, during a live show (or was it an interview?) Gerard, while introducing the song said "This song is about suicide, don't do it"

hearing someone appreciate cubicles is so refreshing because NO ONE talks about it, but it's my favorite song not just off this album, but off their whole discography!!! i can't put into words everything it makes me feel or why i love it so much, but i'm glad to see more appreciation :')

great reaction! love this album from them, has so much more raw/unhinged punk energy and it's basically timeless. hoping you do Wildlife by La Dispute soon! it's a concept album about life in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and follows so many stories from the town and is intertwined with a bunch of letters/poems and beautiful guitars, and then ends off on a crazy two track conclusion i swear you'll find something to love it. it's more raw like gerards vocals here, but the instruments sound incredible and there's a lot of genre-jumping, i hope you check it frfr

i love your analysis honestly, they’re more thorough than any other mcr reaction out here

While reading the comments I've seen that everybody else explained Monroeville and Skylines, so I don't have much to talk about, but I'd still like to give my thoughts! Coming back to this album after not listening to it for a while made me feel really emotional. Obviously, if you've read the other comments, you'd know what Monroeville and Skylines are about. And honestly, they're both really sad. This whole album is pretty depressing, really. But in Gee's words, not about Bullets but about Black Parade, though it still works with this, "It's something so brutally honest that it's beautiful." I'm glad you've been looking at the lyrics to some of the songs, because they're really interesting. Like you said, they put the saddest lyrics into the most upbeat sound. It's crazy how they make it work, and that's one of the reasons I love their sound so much. As I said in a comment on part 1, Skylines and turnstiles is one of my favorites on this album. Someone gave the full story in the comments which you probably read, so I'm free to share my thoughts about this song. It was the first song recorded on the album, and it is just so emotional. They started the band with the lyrics "you're not in this alone", and when the world was absolute crap, these guys stepped up to help make it better. This whole entire album is just pure, raw emotion. I'm tearing up while writing this, to be honest. I don't have much to say about Monroeville, except that's it's a very sad song about having to kill a loved one. The lyrics in that song are just so depressing, really. It's beautiful, though. They really put so much thought into every single word, and it's amazing. That's really all I have to say about this album. I mean, I could go on forever about every little amazing detail, but I won't for your sake! In conclusion, I'm starting to appreciate this album much more than I did a year ago. If you're interested, I'd recommend watching an iceberg video about MCR, actually I think I've recommended it before lol, but yeah, it's really worth checking out! I've gotten a lot of cool information about the band from those kinds of videos. Honestly, the end of this video is kinda sad. You seem to really appreciate every single person in your community, and it really shows how MCR brings people together. I love being in this amazing little community, and even though I've only been here for a few months, it's still bittersweet to see the end of this series. But it doesn't have to end! There's still Conventional Weapons, Living With Ghosts, and TBP B-sides! As well as their unreleased songs, too! If you wanna end it here, that's totally okay, but if you ever feel like listening to new MCR music, even if you don't make a video about it, it's still a great experience! I've enjoyed this series a lot, it's what brought me to this channel. And your reactions are just so much mire interesting than any others I've seen before. You're probably the only channel I'd be willing to sit through an hour long reaction video! It makes me really happy knowing that MCR is still changing people's lives to this day. Truly a timeless band. Much love to you, Nacho! You're a great guy :D

Welcome to the fandom, Nacho. You get The Idea. Love you lots.

It was because of My Chemical Romance I stared watching your videos!!! I wish I could have a friend like you.

Next album Collide with the sky by Pierce The Veil but before that My Chemical Romance "The Foundations Of The Decay"

Don’t apologize for pausing! We came here for your opinion lol

cool fact about early sunsets - gerard way in a lot of pain while recording the vocals for it and it was so emotionally heavy that everyone in the studio had to leave the room and go outside

I found MCR while going through a really rough relationship in my early 20s. I was never into "emo" so it was embarrassing to tell people but i fell in love with the entire 3cheers album first then black parade came out. Loved every song on that album too and then found out about this album. Knowing Gerard was a comic book fan makes this album make more sense, especially in the song Sunsets over Monroeville where its a story about his gf i believe being bit by a vampire and him having to figure out wether to kill her or if shes already dead. My favorite song by MCR of them all is definitely Demolition Lovers. There's some songs off the Watchman album and b sides that are really good too so there's still more MCR!

Fun fact: Demolition Lovers is their longest song (Early Sunsets, Cubicles, and Demo Lovers are my favorites from this album so I'm glad you liked them and you should check out Conventional Weapons which is like an unofficial album and can't forget about Foundations of Decay)

I've loved your journey through these albums, as a long time MCR fan (listened to them when I was in high school, back in the late 00's/early '10s!) - There's another, quite a bit more niche band (but with very passionate fans) I'd love to see your reactions to, called Haken. Especially as a musician yourself, I think their work would blow your mind- and they just released a new, amazing album, Fauna! That means quite a few people atm searching 'Haken fauna reaction' on RU-vid ;)

Ah headfirst for halos. I love the dichotomy between the lyrics and the sound, the peppiness of the instrumental mixed with the really dark lyrics kind of gives me the impression of trying to mask all the dark things going on mentally by putting on a happy outward facade. If I'm remembering correctly, this song was them trying to write a "pop" song at the time. They said that if they could pull off this one, then they could do anything they wanted Skylines and turnstiles, as some other people have said, was the one that started it all. Gerard is definitely talking about the monotony of 9-5 jobs in this one, drawing on his own experiences working at Cartoon Network, and how watching 9/11 made him realize how he didn't want to do that for the rest of his life. It encapsulates the feelings of uncertainty about what the future holds after such a life-changing event. You don't quite know where to go next, but you know that you can't just go back to what you were doing before Monroeville!! One of my favorites from this album, it's so pretty

React to CONVENTIONAL WEAPONSSS

I really think you should do a reaction to the album 'On Letting Go' by the band Circa Survive, bro. I'm confident that you would like it a lot. It has the emotional vocalist that pulls you in and double guitar-work that wanders off in each ear. I enjoyed your reactions to the first 2 MCR albums for sure.

Cubicles is not overlayered. Ray toro does these crazy stretches throughout the song and the whole album. Look at tabs on this album, it’s not beginner friendly at all. I remember trying to learn cubicles and drowning lessons and it’s so much stretching and complex riffs. Demolition lovers is another example of that kind of guitar lead your referring too. He don’t overlay. Ray toro is literally a god, I to this day do not know how he came up with this stuff at such a young age. He had frank lock down rhythm. Ray toro is the mastermind behind the guitar work.

Nacho... We're totally, absolutely, frigging emo.

I completely understand, I avoided listening to Bullets for nearly ten years because I didn’t want to be out of new MCR songs

I think you should check out Bullet For My Valentine. They have a more a metal approach to things. Figured you would like them. Think you should listen to Foundations of Decay and Conventional weapons first though.

NACHOOOO u should react to selfish machines by pierce the veillll!!! i feel like u would like theeem 🙀🙀

Since you only have one album left by MCR, I suggest that you react to OK Computer by Radiohead after. It’s different in terms of style, but it’s also really good and innovative.

Don’t worry u still have there weapons album with ten songs

you definitely should listen to another great band - pierce the veil ❤️ you'll be surprised

Conventional Weapons PLS! ! and the new song of return

Theres more songs lol

React to a recent live video from 2022 please. Gerard has such cool outfits now that they can be themselves. He wears dresses and costumes ( like cosplay ) on stage. It's so cool!

Not sure if you'll read this but if you're looking for a rap album with raw emotion check out lil Peep's crybaby album, there's so much emotion in some of the songs

was that the first time you gave an automatic heart before the first lyric hahah

This Is The Best Day Ever is not one of their popular songs. It's not very technical or over the top. It's not even long at all- one of their shortest. They never played it much live. I have never heard anyone bring it up when talking about MCR songs. But- Something about it makes it one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. 😤 It is (like you implied) a wall of chaotic sound hitting you- but I feel like when you go back and pick apart the lyrics, and hone into the multiple times the song builds before shifting abruptly, only to build again- it's insanely cathartic. Like the musical equivalent of your heart jackhammering in your chest. Edit: But yeah, lol Demolition Lovers is THE song you bust out for your girl. 👌

Emo as a term has withstood the initial negative stigma. People are more accepting of the term as a legit musical genre and subculture.

your no where near done you have a ton of b-sides and the convention weapons EP's

How many times are you going to react to the same album?
