I saw this live in 2003, it was the second song on their set list and it sounded exactly like this; insanely raw and gritty with that glorious fast-paced rhythm.

Forever a favorite.
Fuckin lucky! I wasn't born yet :3 *Cries*. I wish I could've seen them in concert but I didn't ever get to. I was too young to. But I'm glad you got to have that experience. And same. This is still pretty good audio. It's not bad.
I cannot believe they just played this live in 2022. I have chills! They managed to clean it up and still keep the feel. Absolutely incredible. Legends.
Sounds like the exact middle point between Bullets and Three Cheers, similar in tone to Bury Me In Black. Fuck it, this could've been one of their best songs.
They also did an interview where they said they were going to include it on 3 cheers. The interviewer says 'will it be a B side?' but the band says they love it and are pretty sure it will be on the actual record. Too bad they changed their minds :(
@@allim7519 Their first drummer leaked a few parts of the demo (guess he can't release it by himself for legal reasons or shit like that) on his Instagram and I think the said every member has a copy of it.
+shrek there is a shirt with that logo. there was at least. haven't seen one in a while but i'm sure with some digging you could find one on ebay or amazon. it wasn't a rare shirt.
He would be dead. He said in an interview that he wasn't planning on coming from one of their early japan tours...he packed only stage clothes, didn't think he would survive.
There is, but it’s lost and/or not able to be released because former drummer Matt Peliseir has it and can’t release it for legal reasons. He apparently leaked parts of it on Instagram a few years ago but I can’t find that video. :/

it honestly makes me emotional reading the comments from years ago of people wishing there was a better recording of this song. I cant believe we actually got the better recording we’ve always wanted, and that mcr are an active touring band again.
@@Alansworstnight yes!! they performed it live in their fifth LA show in 2022 so we now have a better and clearer recording of it, and not just this 2003 one :)
I’ve watched this so many times through all the years I’ve been a fan. Commenting the morning after they played this song for the first time since 2003.
hearing this song live for the first time in almost 20 years tonight after everything they've done and everything they've been through is making me Quite Emotional, lads
10/17/2022 WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW RECORDING OF THIS SONG AVAILABLE AND AT A CONCERT THAT WAS BEING RECORDED FOR THE OFFICIAL TOUR DOC. IM NOT OKAY (I promise)
Wow this is a really good song. Bc I'd always known *of* a song called sister to sleep, I'd assumed I'd heard it before. But I realized I hadn't! I really like it. Jealous of the shows that got the rare songs but my show had a really good set list so I won't complain. Also those screams at the end are really good and energetic Edit: I've heard ppl talk about STS, the MG&MK ep songs (FTWWW, MOR, BDFS) and other non-album songs like TBP B-sides and desert song and all that, but no one seems to talk about Zero Percent, a cut DD song. ZP is really good and people should listen to it. I wish it wasn't cut

Listening to this song so many times ive always looked at the many different lyrics people have come up with to see what sounds the most accurate, here is my attempt at writing what i heard, of course they will look like everyone elses lyrics because we all hear about the same thing (note i cant understand what gerard is singing at 1:12 so i put it down as ???)

Yeah, it's during the Bullets era, guess it was supposed to be in the album but didn't make the cut prolly due to Gerard's toothache, similar to their cover of Jack The Ripper.
KillJoy McGee nope it was recorded for the movie "Freddy Vs Jason" but wasn't finished in time of the movies release and they only played this song two times first time 6 June 2003 and the other time I don't remember..
on one of the interviews gerard was saying how in the song its like you fall asleep and youll die or something like that and i can relate to that, in the past ive convinced myself at night that if i fell asleep i wouldnt wake up the next morning and it is a very scary feeling
I would sell my soul for a studio version of this.
xThatEquestrianx Same
I second that
+xThatEquestrianx omg that comment
I already sold my soul
Dang it
I saw this live in 2003, it was the second song on their set list and it sounded exactly like this; insanely raw and gritty with that glorious fast-paced rhythm.

One of my favorites for sure

I don’t think Gerard will sound like this ever again since singers voices change as they get older which is the reality of the fragility of life

ITS 2022 AND THEY PLAYED SISTER TO SLEEP LIVE TODAY!
im still in shock. i cannot believe they played this live
THE song of all time
I saw this live in 2022 and literally it was AMAZING I didn’t ever recognize it at first
The more I listen to this song, the more I think it was turned into turned into Helena
Y'know I can really hear that in some parts now that you say it
Damn u right the drums sounds just like Helena’s and the main guitar too
Yes!!! And Deathwish!!
yup
It also kind of sounds like Heaven Help Us in some parts. Like reminiscent of “would you pray for me” in how the guitar sounds in the beginning around the 0:40 mark.
its hard to imagine that only a few days ago this was preformed in california
i love how everyone is rushing back to this video after last night ❤️ wish i could’ve been there in person but i watched the stream and it was crazy

What did I say?
What did I say to put Sister to Sleep?
And fall awake and die
And I'm never goin' to bed
Back to the day, back into this day
Back to another level, hotter then hell
Said that we're not savages until we do it
Again
And one last night I'll kiss your lips again
What did I say?
What did I say to put Sister to Sleep?
And fall awake and die
And I'm never goin' to sleep
I will take this ferris wheel

wait ...how did you kno- FrAaAaAnK!!!
No, pls no.
SOUNDCHECKED THIS FOR MCRLA5 ILL BE BACK TO UPDATE
Yes and they played fake your death I’m still crying 2 hours later
This is now the second best recording of this song
I wish this had come out in time to be featured in Freddy V Jason like it was intended, I wonder what kind of butterfly effect that would have had!
can’t believe we all thought to come here just to be sure
I'm.... does gerard remember the lyrics??????? did they google it????
WHAT THE FUCK I NEVER LISTENED TO THIS THINKING IT WAS A SPECULATED TITLE TO SOMEONE OUT THERE LOVES YOU GODDAMMITWHATTHEFUCK I'VE MISSED OUT
HEY THEY JUST SOUND CHECKED THIS, HOLY DHIT
Holy shit this was really good. I wish some of their earlier songs would have made it to studio versions ;_;
THEY LITERALLY JUST PERFORMED THIS SONG LIKE TEN MINUTES AGO IM SCREAMING
i can’t believe they just fucking played this live in 2022.
EVERYBODY WAKE UP
WHAT
The fact they played this live again
Who else is here after they SOUNDCHECKED IT FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW?
Finally after so long, we may finally hear it again!!!!
10/17/2022 WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW RECORDING OF THIS SONG AVAILABLE AND AT A CONCERT THAT WAS BEING RECORDED FOR THE OFFICIAL TOUR DOC. IM NOT OKAY (I promise)
I can relate to 'And Im never going to sleep' because summer is starting and im staying up forever listeneing to them so
if this was on album, itd either be on revenge or bullets,
i learn more towards bullets but this song kind of reminds me of helena in a way
Yeah they recorded it when recording for Revenge
heard this live on 10/17, almost fell over and died right there at the venue
Oh my no, this was years ago, even before they recorded bullets. :)
? i thought they performed it in 2003 at the knitting factory after bullets ??
I love this so much. I want a studio version soo bad
tonight's the night, i can feel it
COMING HERE BC THEYRE PLAYING IT RIGHT NOW
they cannot be soundchecking this rn
matt needs to find a legal way to leak this because it SLAPS
Heard this song last night live it was Amazing ❤❤❤
How have I not heard this yet
coming back to this video for old memories 💖💖
I’m so glad we have a live version now

THIS IS GOLD
here just before the 10/17 MCRLA5 show, they sound checked it minutes age
This kinda sound like a fusion of every song in Three Cheers
I want more music like the first album of My chemical romance "I brought you my Bullets, You brought me your love" Any suggestions anyone??
leathermouth, more skate punk things like misfits and the dead kennedys but leathermouth fits the best. (the rhythm guitarist sings in that band)
Not gonna lie, leather mouth scares the shit out of me, can't say there bad though. Very weird band . I appreciate your feedback
