Literally my future. Friend- "Op, here we go. She's doing it again." Me- *playing the emo quartet to my baby, currently Welcome to the Black Parade, singing along, crying*
I dont get why they got so much hate back in the day. Its just good solid Rock n Roll. some may call it Emo/Pop Rock/Pop Punk and what not. But you cant deny its just good Rock music.
same reason that the beatles got so much hate when they were becoming popular: the majority of their fans were young women and girls. but this is just good music no matter how you shake it. the song dead! on this album is pure rock and roll
Dice Remnant Even if they say they aren’t emo, people are going to categorize them as emo but like I said; I don’t care if they are or aren’t. They still rock. 🤘🏼😎
Because all new music sucks, dontcha know. It's not until it's about ten to fifteen years old that it starts being socially acceptable to like it, then after about twenty to thirty years it starts being considered "classic." But yeah let's be real, MCR was always pretty fucking great. Between them and several other bands, the mid-2000s were definitely a high point in the history of rock music.
I always thought the Black Parade was a very Queen-esque song. There was actually a time where Brian May joined them at the Reading Festival to play The Black Parade and I know Queen was a big influence for many of them.
MCR it’s a master piece band that is really underrated by the biggest part of rock community. Almost every song it’s intense and beautiful. Please, do more MCR reaction, we need to show to the world how that generation was wrong about then.
@@pgnfz No, I don't remember growing up and seeing MCR every fucking where to the point of annoyance. I was only 18 when they started and proceeded to become the biggest scene band ever. Fucking laughable
@@pgnfz The rock community is inherently a cultural bubble. Just think about it, it's a bunch of people who admire a specific genre of music. I gotta admit that the emo aesthetic really put me off MCR, and if it weren't for Danger Days introducing me to the band I wouldn't be a fan. The fact that people still listen to the Black Parade out of its context and talk about it is a really good thing. I have no doubt in my mind that people will remember the Black Parade as fondly as classics from decades ago like Led Zeppelin IV.
000 001 man if the rock community is a bubble like u sad, imagine the 2000 pop punk Emo era lol that’s too específic and just for a really short time, I know people that like all kinds of rock sub genrs and biggest part of then or never heard about it or if heard they have many prejudice thoughts about then without really check their songs. So is a fact that just a people inside a bubble inside another bubbles really like and respect then.
Ghost of You By My Chemical Romance has one of best music videos i have ever seen. One would almost think they are watching a movie the transitions are really nice
I remember when that video came out. I was like....🤯😳💙 Still to this day it touches my soul. But when I listen to mcr I get goosebumps. I always have. I really connect with them on a deep level. 💙💙💙
I'm 49. Grew up on classic rock, hard rock, and metal. This was one of the last great concept rock albums of the past 20 years. Underrated and underappreciated by critics. It's a masterpiece. Great choice. They may be known as a "emo" band but this album was deeply rooted in the greatest rock of the past 40 years.
Awesome! I discovered mcr when I was in elementary school and I was afraid my mom would get mad if she found out I was listening to that kind of music so I would only listen to it at school 😂
When my son was 14, he was so into My Chem, I took him to see them live, his first gig. It was an absolute blast. Great band that, in my opinion, still sound fresh and relevant.
MRC saved my life. They continue to save my life. The always advocated hope for the outcasts, the traumatized, the victimized, and the pained with their music. To me, their songs never wallowed in those emotions. It asks you grow from them while also validating them.
"Famous Last Words" from same album? "Helena" from the previous album?...maybe "Teenagers"? LOL!... "What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost" by Taking Back Sunday (toured with MCR?)??
Great reaction love MCR definently should check out Mama off the same record or Thank you for the venom from there three cheers for sweet revenge album
TheComicBookJoker I’m not sure if you are the dad or not but... it’s because they are teenagers and the song deals with the perceptions people have of teens. Maybe they can relate or not but they may enjoy it.
I was 19 when this came out and I secretly loved it from the first time I heard it. Would not admit it back then though because people used to be dumb and call you gay for liking 'emo' stuff.
I'm 16 and MCR is my favorite band! I loved your reactions. A lot of people hate this band for dumb reasons but i think they're amazingly talented and this band means a lot to a lot of people.
I'm seventeen, and watching someone listen to my favorite music is incredible. I like modern stuff, but to me, nothing beats 2000's rock and alternative. Just subbed.
@@youraveragemusicperson2176 My closet features these shirts- Hybrid Theory, American Idiot, Mike Shinoda, The Black Parade, and Panic! At The Disco. My vinyl collection that I just started includes The Black Parade and Meteora, and my CD collection has American Idiot, Hybrid Theory, and Meteora. I just had a coworker at my job buy me two Avenged Sevenfold CDs too.
I love this song. I'm 62 in Desember, but I just love to discover new music. Not that I don't like oldies, but I also really really love to find new good music. And I have found so many new groups. So I love to watch your videos. It's so fun to see how your children react to music you play to them.
My son and daughter have blasted this in the car for me for years and I’ve always loved it 🥰 We’ve always shared good music… I shared Metallica, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Lenny Kravitz, Fleetwood Mac, etc. They’ve shared music ranging from Avenge Sevenfold to One Direction and I have appreciated it all! I also let them turn it up as loud as they wish! To this day they get excited to show me new songs that come out or that they’ve discovered💞
What about shifting the way into the more darker or more punk stuff and show him AFI? The album Decemberunderground came out around the same time as The Black Parade and they share similar themes. Sing the Sorrow- the album before Decemberunderground could also work as an intro.
Hello! I just came across your channel today. I love reaction videos, especially the ones where people are soooo genuine like y'all. I like jamel aka jamal and india reacts too. But your kids are AWESOME! They are beautiful! Your wife must be a knockout too. Really enjoying your content. Don't be afraid to let the kids drive. I would love to see your reactions to "their" music. My daughter is 23 but knew who the Beatles were when she was 3. Thank you for sharing your family.
Love MCR, and y’all did this just months before the Suprise reunion. They have roots in the heavier side of rock and have a really great catalogue of music to explore!
@Glitch in the Matrix Multi-Media I think the lyrics is talking more about death and that it is ok to accept death and let go. I think the Black Parade represents death. The person who is talking/singing for the majority of the song is letting the person, that is dying, know that it is ok to let go and that they will be remembered and their loved ones will carry on. Sometimes the people who are dying need reassurance that it is ok to let go, especially those with painful sicknesses like cancer. They need that reassurance so they can die peacefully and without worrying about those they are leaving behind.
This was interesting to listen/watch. I'm glad that you two mentioned My Chemical Romance's look/video because that does usually throw people off. It did when the song was first released (I was one of those people even though at the same time I fall into generation you referred to) and continues to do so, but for those who can look past the weirdness they realise that MCR play good music.
Hey! Just wanted to say that I love what you do here! I'm 27 with no kids, but if/when I do, I hope to introduce them to the music that I've grown up with and love! Keep it up, buddy!
Fun fact: This video, directed by Samuel Bayer („Smells like teen spirit“), comes in two parts. They shot „Famous last words“ basically back to back and set the whole set of Welcome to the Black Parade on fire. Definitely a video worth checking out.
As a 32 year old who listened to MCR back in high school, hearing this guy tell his son that this music is closer to his age makes me feel younger than I am lol. I only ever listened to Three Cheers and this Welcome to the Black Parade, but both of these albums will forever be ingrained in my mind. I'm quite certain that I'll be listening to these albums at least once per year until my Black parade arrives.
Do more with your son! He has some genuine reactions, i can see the confusion and interest In his face as when I first saw these songs on Kerrang TV and rakes about 5 views to actually appreciate the song
I'm so glad my brother put this song by MCR on my first ipod back in 2006 when I didn't know how to put music on it. Got me into all of their music. Amazing band.
Great job. I found this channel a few days ago. Here are a few favorite bands.Three days grace- any song Breaking Benjamins- any song Five finger death punch- wash it all away
I love what you do with adding the story of the song on your reactions. That definitely got me to subscribe 👏🏻 I originally subscribe when I watched your reaction to Mr.Brightsight by the killers because I foud very interesting what you said about checkers and chess. I love your channel. Notifications are on and I'm binge watching 😊
My top three bands in no particular order. Rush. Slayer. My Chemical Romance. I'm 44, and my kids are 24, 22 and 15. They also listen to the same music that I do.
These are some interesting reactions you are sharing, I had no idea the younger generation is somewhat oblivious to rock music. Keep sharing, your reactions are worth the watch.
Amazingly, the entire look for this video and the whole album (cover and all) were designed by the lead singer Gerard Way. His comic the Umbrella Academy is now a show on Netflix :)
Being a person that has been to too many ERs and funerals, this song is perfect. Going through tough times like that you feel you have to be strong for yourself and others. You might have fear and anger while trying to uplift. The song also shows that it is ok to embrace and accept death (for both the one who has passed and the loved ones they left). At the end of the day, we will all be joining the black parade
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 love my chemical romance. It was formed cause Gerard Way was on his way to a comic book meeting in NYC on 9/11 and he witnessed the attacks. While he continued with his comics he was compelled to form the band to help those feelings from what happened
So I'm new here but this song actually makes me think of my mom who passed. The meaning behind this song is that when you die you remember your favorite memory as you pass (so you were totally right). It's actually a true belief from way back that people believed your most treasured moment comes to you at your moment of death. When people took pictures of their dead loved ones (circa 1800's) they believed they were helping their loved ones move on to the afterlife and if they didn't they would be stuck there in limbo. So this song actually goes through the death process and the light and the dark of the moment. Just a fun fact since this was a reaction video and sometimes it helps to have the meaning or history behind why it was written. :) I love your reaction btw. You are always so excited and I can tell your son is hesitant to show his excitement but I'm right there with you freaking out to amazing music!
Am I the only 17 year old who listened to MCR, avenged sevenfold, Metallica, meatloaf etc... since I was like 8 and love them since..? I’m not into rap like most kids of my age are. My favourite band is MCR and I love rock and metal. We’ll carry on!
New subscriber here. Only seen a few of your videos so far, but I'm really liking what I've seen so far. I did notice that you tend to like metal songs and that your son is currently seventeen, which makes me want to suggest giving Alien Weaponry a try. They're a three-piece trash/groove metal band, which should be right up your alley, consisting of two guys who are the same age as your son and one who's 19 now, I think. Nonetheless they have existed as a band since 2010, when the two brothers who founded the band were just 8 and 10 years old. They're also Kiwi's (New Zealanders, for anyone who might not know that) who mostly sing in Te Reo, the traditional language of the Māori people. Their song "Kai Tangata" would be a good place to start. Awesome video too. Let's just say that if Disturbed made you want to start smashing things, the energy Alien Weaponry puts out there should have you bringing down the house. 😅
The theory is a song will speak to your heart when someone you love dies. I heard this song, probably not for the first time, when my Grandfather was dying. I was his full time, 24/7 care provider and I was frustrated (much stronger feeling at the time) with his 4 children basically running over me and my feelings. Something about this song gave me a feeling of peace; in my heart it was my Nonna (who had died the year before) and my Pop giving me strength to stand up to my Mom, Aunt and Uncles. To this day. 9 years later, I still get a rush when listening to this song. As a matter of fact, I got that rush while typing this response. "Sometimes I get the feelin' she's watchin' over me" -- my Nonna "We'll carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on" -- My Pop "Do or die, you'll never make me because the world will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me" -- both of them giving me power to stand up to my bully family
if this and Helena arent played at my funeral im coming back to haunt everyone

That one transition before the second chorus is the smoothest transition ever
I really hope they do Ghost of You. One of my all time favs of any song in general.
“Welcome to the Black Parade”
Me: *prepares for g note*
The whole album is fantastic - all killer, no filler. Try some of their earlier tracks like Helena or I'm Not OK (I Promise).
That would be sum 41 my dude
Hahaha love it
It was a risky move, but when I was 10 my father gave me this album. I don’t know what possessed him to do so, but it blew my mind.

Cannot recommend it enough. Every song on the record is perfection.

Maybe you can introduce your son with some linkin park's songs since i think most of the songs are relatable for teens and adults.
Weeb
Ehh it has rap&imo it ruins mixing rock with that genre 🤔
I agree old linkin park would be another huge influential band
I love all the songs from their first three album before they went/transitioned to Pop

That definitely got me to subscribe 👏🏻 I originally subscribe when I watched your reaction to Mr.Brightsight by the killers because I foud very interesting what you said about checkers and chess. I love your channel. Notifications are on and I'm binge watching 😊
Also I need that los pollos hermanos shirt🤣
The entire album tells a story and I think that's pretty unique and special, especially the story it tells.
Best song ever, full blast it totally clears my head when muddled ❤
My top three bands in no particular order. Rush. Slayer. My Chemical Romance. I'm 44, and my kids are 24, 22 and 15. They also listen to the same music that I do.
One of the most powerful choruses in music
You should have reacted the live one with Brian May haha. Gerard is Queen fan. Try pierce the veil or sleeping with sirens
React to systeme of a down "chop suey" the music video
These are some interesting reactions you are sharing, I had no idea the younger generation is somewhat oblivious to rock music. Keep sharing, your reactions are worth the watch.
I kept noticing your son looking away and I'm glad he explained that and I totally get that.
If I look really hard in my mom’s house I’m sure I can rustle up a copy of The Black Parade from 2006.
Amazingly, the entire look for this video and the whole album (cover and all) were designed by the lead singer Gerard Way. His comic the Umbrella Academy is now a show on Netflix :)
This youtube channel is a true glitch in the matrix! Parenting level 10000000000000000!!!!
Being a person that has been to too many ERs and funerals, this song is perfect. Going through tough times like that you feel you have to be strong for yourself and others. You might have fear and anger while trying to uplift. The song also shows that it is ok to embrace and accept death (for both the one who has passed and the loved ones they left). At the end of the day, we will all be joining the black parade
I watched a MCR concert on TV once. Not knowing much of their music and I was impressed with the show. Great band.
So good, haha can't wait for their new stuff they are working on. Also can't wait for season 2 of his Netflix show Umbrella Academy 😊
Who else is only here to celebrate the reunion tour?
High School never ends by Bowling for soup
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 love my chemical romance. It was formed cause Gerard Way was on his way to a comic book meeting in NYC on 9/11 and he witnessed the attacks. While he continued with his comics he was compelled to form the band to help those feelings from what happened
Emo for life! Still to this day this album is iconic! I’m seeing them in 3 weeks and I can’t believe they’re back together. I cannot wait!!!
So I'm new here but this song actually makes me think of my mom who passed. The meaning behind this song is that when you die you remember your favorite memory as you pass (so you were totally right). It's actually a true belief from way back that people believed your most treasured moment comes to you at your moment of death. When people took pictures of their dead loved ones (circa 1800's) they believed they were helping their loved ones move on to the afterlife and if they didn't they would be stuck there in limbo. So this song actually goes through the death process and the light and the dark of the moment. Just a fun fact since this was a reaction video and sometimes it helps to have the meaning or history behind why it was written. :) I love your reaction btw. You are always so excited and I can tell your son is hesitant to show his excitement but I'm right there with you freaking out to amazing music!
Omg, you guys should do 'Desolation Row' by My Chemical Romance! It's such rad cover & the video is amazing
Am I the only 17 year old who listened to MCR, avenged sevenfold, Metallica, meatloaf etc... since I was like 8 and love them since..? I’m not into rap like most kids of my age are. My favourite band is MCR and I love rock and metal.
We’ll carry on!
And the "Father of the year goes to you my man ❤❤❤
This entire video is so good first cause MCR Is my #1 band and also the los pollos shirt cmon that’s the perfect combo
New subscriber here. Only seen a few of your videos so far, but I'm really liking what I've seen so far.
I did notice that you tend to like metal songs and that your son is currently seventeen, which makes me want to suggest giving Alien Weaponry a try. They're a three-piece trash/groove metal band, which should be right up your alley, consisting of two guys who are the same age as your son and one who's 19 now, I think. Nonetheless they have existed as a band since 2010, when the two brothers who founded the band were just 8 and 10 years old. They're also Kiwi's (New Zealanders, for anyone who might not know that) who mostly sing in Te Reo, the traditional language of the Māori people. Their song "Kai Tangata" would be a good place to start. Awesome video too.
Let's just say that if Disturbed made you want to start smashing things, the energy Alien Weaponry puts out there should have you bringing down the house. 😅
I don’t think it would be an understatement to consider My Chemical Romance to be a younger generation’s version of Queen.
Too bad they broke up because you could’ve taken him to one of their concerts. 🤘🏼
J.R. They are back
Reunion...boom lol
Notice how he never pauses the video.
That’s how good this song is.. should be played all the way!
The theory is a song will speak to your heart when someone you love dies. I heard this song, probably not for the first time, when my Grandfather was dying. I was his full time, 24/7 care provider and I was frustrated (much stronger feeling at the time) with his 4 children basically running over me and my feelings. Something about this song gave me a feeling of peace; in my heart it was my Nonna (who had died the year before) and my Pop giving me strength to stand up to my Mom, Aunt and Uncles. To this day. 9 years later, I still get a rush when listening to this song. As a matter of fact, I got that rush while typing this response. "Sometimes I get the feelin'
she's watchin' over me" -- my Nonna "We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on" -- My Pop "Do or die, you'll never make me
because the world will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me" -- both of them giving me power to stand up to my bully family
