NOW THIS IS MUSIC - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (My Chemical Romance) Reaction 

MCR has two guitarists, Ray Toro and Frank Iero. That’s how they’re able to double up all the solos and rhythms. Ray is an absolute genius, Frank has great energy. Guitar is definitely one of the major highlights of their music for me

Helena (aside from its meaning in the concept of the album) was written by Gerard as an angry letter to himself because the band was away on tour for about a year, and right after they got back his and Mikey’s grandma died. She had supported the band more than anyone getting started (even buying them a van so they could go on that tour) and he hated himself for not being there for her before she died. The video is amazing and you should check it out, it’s basically the band saying goodbye to her.

17:11 "Whoever plays the drums is...*kiss*" this quote is funny because they fired this drummer not even 2 months after this album came out.

"Would you be mad if I rewind" I would be mad if you didn't. Love ya.

The person screaming in the background of prison is actually Bert McCracken, the lead singer of a band called The Used (they’re great too, I definitely recommend listening to them if you get the chance!) Also yeah, that guitar solo is insane. I’m still trying to learn it lol, someday…

I love how intense your appreciation for a good transition is haha

- Helena is about Gerard and Mikey's grandma - You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison has guest vocals by Bert from The Used (The higher vocals, reverse laugh, the laugh at the end, the hotel line, the screaming)

The Ghost of You is one of my favorite songs ever made, there is so many little things going on during the song. Simultaneously the music video for it is top notch. Highly recommend watching it if you haven't already.

Black Parade is a really good album from a storytelling aspect, and artistically, but this album is always going to be my favorite from MCR. Regarding the "I don't want to be an English teacher" when it comes to vocalizing your interpretations; You shouldn't feel like that's a negative thing. Allow yourself to intake the music and voice any thoughts you may have. It's your channel, and even if you think they're dumb thoughts, you can always cut them in the editing process. Much love dude. ^^

I love how he “hearts” every song……except the biggest song they ever made (arguably)….😂😂. Great review!!! I enjoy his reactions to MCR!!!

SPOILER - Meaning of the album: According to Wikipedia these are Gerard Way's words - "the story of a man and a woman who are separated by death in a gunfight and he goes to hell only to realize by the devil telling him that she's still alive. The devil says he can be with her again if he brings the devil the souls of a thousand evil men and the man agrees to do it, and so the devil hands him a gun. That was the idea behind the concept, the record ended up being much more about loss and real life than anything, so I would say it's a good split.". Also, from what I am aware (I think Gerard also mentioned this but I don't remember when and I keep finding similar stuff online), at the last song the devil reveals that the last soul is the protagonist's soul, which means he will never get to see his lover again.

if you enjoy this album and their guitar work you might enjoy their first album for the energy alone.

man if you like dueling guitars you are gonna love what the post-hardcore genre has to offer. great reaction, i love this album and it's cool to see how excited you are about the music! ray toro (MCR's lead guitarist) plays all the solos on these records and absolutely kills live, he's a crazy good musician. you can tell how his style and the rhythm guitarist Frank Iero's style really complement each other and make this something special. If you don't know them already, my rec is to check out rage against the machine. tom morello does things to a guitar that sound impossible. anyways thanks for the vid again and hope to see more!

I love them so much. So lucky that I was able to meet them here in Brazil back in 2008. They are all so nice ❤ best shows of my life

idk if anyone’s said this already, but the intro of “Give ‘Em Hell, Kid” usually doesn’t have the spoken vocals over the bass guitar. It’s pretty much ONLY on Apple Music, so I got sooooo excited when I realized that’s what you were listening on 🔥🔥🔥

This album made me fell in love with this band. This band saved myself. I'm 31 now, I've been a hard-core fan since I was 13. I went to their The Black Parade tour when they came to Brazil back in 2008 and also had the privilege of getting to meet Gerard Way ( the vocalist )here in Brazil back in 2015 ( such a nice dude).

Three cheers is a concept album!!! The 2 people on the cover are the demolition lovers, who got killed in a shootout at the end of mcr's first album. The demolition man goes to hell but the demolition woman goes to heaven, and the man makes a deal with the devil that if he kills 1000 evil men, he can be reunited with his lover. So the album is about him killing these people, and his shifting mental state as he loses and doubts himself but keeps going for the sake of his lover. In the last song, he realizes that the devil tricked him and the last evil man he has to kill is himself, but he figures its better off that way because killing all these people has changed him so much that hes no longer the man the demoliton woman fell in love with

As far as music videos go, I always recommend I'm Not Okay (directed by the guy who'd eventually do The Amazing Spiderman, so it almost feels like a fake movie trailer) and Na Na Na which is just so darn fun to watch (mad max vibes if you're into that). I really love hearing your perspective on these albums! I'm a longtime fan of them so I'm vicariously living through people like you who are hearing it for the first time. Looking forward to part 2!

Hi Nacho! Have been waiting for this reaction since I finished The Black Parade videos. I previously commented that this is my favorite album from MCR and I’m absolutely thrilled that you are enjoying it so far! I love the way you get so excited about the guitar work, it’s amazing. I don’t know if you knew this but MCR has two guitarists Ray Toro (lead) and Frank Iero (rhythmic) they are absolutely amazing at what they do. This album has such amazing guitar solos and I am so happy you’re enjoying them. This album is a loose concept album. I’d encourage you to look it up, even though it’s not really necessary to know the story to enjoy it on its own. I have to comment that I’m glad you’re reacting to the Apple Music version of this album. There are some details I can hear on Apple Music that I cant on Spotify, two examples are: In the song “Give ‘em hell kid” you can hear Gerard talking In the intro, that’s exclusive to Apple Music. Also in “To the end” that pounding you hear, you can’t hear it on spotify. It’s pretty neat. I have such a hard time picking favorites on this album because I love all the songs so much. I think they’re all my faves. Can’t wait for part two! I love seeing new people discover and fall in love with their music! They have been with me since I was 12 and I’m now 30. Their music has been my companion through the toughest times. They’re really special to me. I’m so happy I got to see them live in Venezuela in 2008. Last year I got to see them for the second time in Chicago and it was absolutely amazing. Hope you react to the rest of their albums. Also, as others have said, check out the music videos! Thanks so much for the reaction!

I absolutely love how much you appreciate the instrumentals on all the albums you react to! You've given me a whole new perspective on these songs and I've started to pay more attention to what's going on behind the vocals every time I listen the songs. I also just find it funny how you tend to talk more about the guitars than anything else. I also have to say that you are amazing when it comes to analyzing the songs. It's very interesting to see what other people think the story behind this album is. If you're interested, I'd recommend watching the cozy representative's video analyzing the story behind this album, it's a really good watch!

I was lucky enough to see them in May last year, honestly the atmosphere was unmatched it was crazy. MCR will always be iconic and i hope with them reuniting they produce a new album in the coming years

Your analysis are very good. Your interpretation of the songs are nice to listen, even though I already know all the background of those songs but it's really cool to listen from another perspective.

For anyone wondering the 2 on the cover are the “demolition lovers” the story goes that a woman and man die together, the man goes to hell and the woman to heaven. The man misses his wife and wants to be reunited with his wife. So he asks the devil for a favor and he has to kill 1000 souls to get with his wife. The last soul ends up being him. Also Helena is about Gerard and Mikey’s grandmother who passed away, she was a big inspiration for Gerard. Her name was actually Elena but I think Helena was a nickname if I’m not wrong

duuuude you made me feel so old! haha but you have a great critical ear! you hear stuff immediately that it took me numerous listens to catch. it's been great watching you discover my favorite artist and experience them for the first time

I'm loving your mychem reviews! Your reactions are so genuine and your appreciation of the instrumentals is lovely to see

finally 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you so much! i would also say that this album made me fell in love with this band. i've heard it only this summer (for some reason 🤔) and since then it's one of my favorite bands. i've started listening to music again and found many great artists and bands thanks to mcr. so glad you liked «to the end», imo this song is extremely underrated and it's one of my favorites!

hell yeah! my favorite mcr album glad you like it as much as i do. cant wait for part 2, thank you for the venom is probably my favorite track off the whole album

i’m a bit late to this one but again i loved this video ! i hope you like this album as much as i do

you’re so close on the meaning of the album… this elder emo is quite proud of you 😃 Gerard started out as a comic book writer before the band, so some of his ideas are going to be a bit… out there.

Best review ever! I Enjoyed watching you! Keep it up!

Oh my god, it's here! YES.

Helena is the song I want played at my funeral. Every time I hear it, during the slow “can you hear me, are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then, we’ll meet again when both our cars collide” I don’t know where we go when we die, but I will be with my brother again, whether it be in some afterlife or in a black nothingness void of absolutely nothing. We all will be there one day. My brother passed away in a car accident in 2017 and I think about him every day and MCR’s music helps a lot with how much I miss him.

Three Cheers!!! Really fun video, excited for part 2 :D

So nice to see you enjoying this masterpiece of an album 👏 this was peak emo angst and excellence. I haven’t seen this replicated to this day.

26:40 that other voice in the back ground is Bert McCracken the lead singer for the used you should listen to there Debut album

hell yeah! Can’t wait for part two! If you ever consider watching music videos I think you would love checking out MCR’s music videos, especially The Ghost of You, I’m Not Okay (I promise), and Welcome to the Black Parade (I list all those cause I simply could not exclude any of them, they’re all so insane). Another thing to consider is their last album Danger Days, is much different but a great listen in my opinion. The music videos for two of the songs in that album is a must!

Loved your reaction, PLEASE CONTINUE and finish the album.

Love the reaction! Looking forward to the next one!

6:22 “it transfers!”

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR LISTENING. MCR means a lot for me and I was glad to see your honest and good reaction. you are very emotional, and every song makes you go crazy, I like it so much, because I'm the same😂 I'm looking forward to the new video with three cheers for sweet revenge. I'M 100% SURE, THAT YOU WILL LIKE "THANK YOU FOR THE VENOM" (guitar solos are INCREDIBLY GOOD!!) and, also, I think you'll like "hang'em high"! As a recommendation: listen to their first album "I brought you my bullets, you brought me you love"!! It's my favourite album of all time! I think, you'll enjoy this. Keep going bro, you're very cool! (sorry my english is bad, but i was really trying to tell you about all these things)

Nice!! I love this album

We'll make an emo out of you yet haha! It's so crazy seeing someone just getting into mcr as someone who was basically raised on their music. If you want to check out more staples of the scene, I recommend Pierce the Veil. More metal than mcr but still similar enough that the fans overlap a lot.

Gotta do danger days next it’s only fitting

the black parade turned 17 on the 23rd and so did i but three cheers is still my favourite mcr album

I'm Not Okay has always come off to me like a person who's very over putting up with their best friend's drama. "If you wanted honesty that's all you had to say, I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way, for all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took," etc. "What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? I've told you time and time again, you've sang the words but don't know what it means to be a joke ...I held you close as we both shook, for the last time, take a good, hard look." It's always come off to me like the person he's talking to is very messy and won't help themselves, and this is him kind of exploding on them and telling them how much their drama and unwillingness to change/get help has negatively impacted his life.

A f**king classic man, enjoy

Hey, your reacts are great dude! You were wondering earlier in To The End what was that little "video game" tune, and it's because mcr has two guitarrists! Ray Toro does most of the solos and riffs, while Frank Iero is the rythm guitar! They are both insane at it, hope you react to Danger Days! It's the most different album of theirs, but I think you'll like it, especially the guitars in Na Na Na

There's not a single song from MCR that I don't like, they were just so good.

I see you have a video on Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and The Black Parade. I would suggest you to explore their earlier and lesser known album "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love". Hope you enjoy it if you haven't already listen to it. Every song on it is top notch.

Also you nailed the meaning of "I'm not ok" love triangle 100%.

Doing two guitar solos at once is actually pretty common, just most of the time they cloud each other so it's not obvious right away. That's why they pan them Left and Right so you can hear them both at the same time.

To The End definitely my f*cking favourite ❤️

I've never heard those whispers at the beginning of the track "give em hell kid". What version is this?

Welcome to the alternative genre, please look up Faith No More or Muse if you haven't 👍👍

To the End is about a book called A Rose For Emily. I don't know A lot about it but what I've heard it's about a woman who kills her husband because he came out as gay. A really dark song but by far my favorite. Also,I never heard the hit in the beginning. Also last thing,MCR has 2 guitarists,Ray Toro (plays solos and cool things) and Frank Is so (keeps the rhythm). I suggest you listen to Frank's stuff. I suggest Stomachaches than to move on to Parachutes. Great video!

For a good analysis of the story of this album Theo's Ghost has a video similar to what wendigoon's was for the black parade. He helps make a lot of sense of a very confusing/unclear story :)

❤

Ah! Finally🤩

What's that version of Give Em Hell Kid??? 7:43 With those vocals at the beginning???

DUDE SAME AGE AS ME AND WE BOTH LOVE MCR BASICALLY TWINS🤝

yeah I love this

m8 when you said you're 18 I realised I've been listening to this album longer than you've been alive 😵

HE FINALLY DID IT

MCR has 3 guitarist. Ray Toro, Frank Iero & head man Gerard Way’s Brother Mikey Way…… The percussion is SIIC. I hope that you’ve learned by now that “Helena” is not just any girl……the song was written for Gerard & Mikey’s grandmother when she passed away. She was a huge supporter of them. I can’t wait till you listen to “danger days” if you haven’t already. You will be craving to listen to MCR by the time it’s all said and done. Also, the songs don’t mean what you think they mean. Gerard is a lyrical genius……. Sometimes you have to look up the meanings to get the meanings of each song…… Not one of their songs is bad……that’s all I have to say. For now……🖤🥀♥️~MCR

The videogame tune is definitely a guitar. MCR has 2 amazing guitarists.

I'm Not Okay is definitely a love triangle. In my opinion... It is sung from the perspective of a guy who has been Friend Zoned by a girl he really loves. He has to sit and hear all the stories this girl tells him about her boyfriend, Who is kind of a jerk, and always act like he is ok with it... But he has finally reached his breaking point and tells her the truth .. he is NOT OKAY just being in the background anymore.

As I can tell you definitely have good ears when it comes to music and production. You should definitely react to Michael Jackson's albums: Dangerous and HIStory

Not me thinking there weren't that many good song on this album when I literally listen to 1-6 and 9-13 on a regular basis x_x rip me

40:27 Speaking of, you should react to the album of that same name by System Of A Down! 🤣

You should do green day american idiot after this album!!

You should react to mcr "I brought you my bullets you brought me your love" album

Please do the second half! It would be cool if you reacted to MCR videos.

you need to react to Brakence's new album, hypochondriac it is just so good

Helena was his grandma. He wrote the song for her

part 2!!

Do another vid of this soon plz

DANGER DAYS NEXT

Why do I feel like a proud mama?

watching people react to mcr for the first time is the best bro

Listen to koRn self titled album please

part 2 when?

i don't wanna repeat so i'll say i second everything people said in the comments and also *please watch some of their music videos they're so good* quite a nitpick but i was suprised you didn't mention anything about the queer themes in some of their songs (on this album it's mostly prison & to the end). lowkey made me realise the mcr fandom is kind of a gay and/or transgender bubble that i've spent too much in when they were touring lmao anyway there's so much to analyse in their lyrics from that angle that there's an entire podcast about it and also the band has always been very supportive to lgbtq ppl and women in the alternative scene (and the lead singer is nonbinary too) okay i'm not gonna be writing an essay on that shit in the comments here but trust me i could cause it's a big part of their whole "dark themes with an extremely uplifting message" shtick that made them (and other "emo" bands by association) a target of a whole "satanic panic" thing in the mid 2000s that was literally just using a young girl's suicide to justify homophobia. (and on a brighter note the singer and the rythm guitarists making out on stage made me realise i'm gay myself lmao) looking forward to part 2

This album is a sequel to their first album and it's about a man who's wife dies in a gunfight so he makes a deal with the devil to kill 1000 evil men in order to be with her again but he's tricked at the end because the last evil soul is himself so the only way they'll be together is in Hell

Where's the part 2??????

WTF GIVE 'EM HELL KID HAS BACKGROUND SCREAMING DURING THE STARTING INSTRUMENTALS???

Helena doesn't fit the concept, the concept starts at the second song, Helena is about Gerard and Mikey's grandma.

Watched your video today. I am much older than your viewers. I am SURE BY NOW, you have been transformed into one of us. Welcome to MCR, kiddo. They will change your music life FOREVER!!! 3 cheers is a MASTERPIECE
