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 😂
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!)
@Damien Maynard That is some very impressive knowledge and info right there. Good thing we didn't try and give our take on that video with all your knowledge, we would have look like a right couple of idiots (no change there then) You sure know your bands, we are not sure how these passed us by, but it was OK. Not sure if we will go on a ride with these, we sort of find bands to do one off's to try other styles and find ones we completely missed. Thanks for the Birthday greetings, you made his little face light up!!!
@@BritPopsReact no probs. happy to help... The song "Famous Last Words" is justifiably credited with preventing several suicides - probably more than I realize!.... MCR is worth a 2nd or 3rd look.
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.
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.
@M P Thanks for this comment also. Yes, we need to get back and do more from them, we are constantly finding new artists to react to. We will try and make a return visit soon. Check out some of our other content.
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 🙂
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.
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
@Barbara Paz Great comment and great fun facts. Nope, we didn't although we picked up the Bryan May sounding guitars, so that makes sense. And the vocal, we can see that too. Thanks for the comment
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.
MCR have said that Queen are an influence on them. And having been a Queen fan since the seventies, I can certainly hear the Brian May influence in the guitar runs.
@Chris Cross @Kevin Bridge That's exactly where we were hearing the Queen influence on the Brian May style guitar. These completely missed us two and we were curious as to what they were about. Also Smashing Pumpkins, they could be someone we have heard and would recognise a song if it came on, but nothing springs to mind in the dusty memory bank. You went with a 6, that a fair scoring system you have going there too.
@devil assassin Ahhh, not long to wait as it has been recorded, we usually put the big reactions out over the weekend. Thanks for checking out our other reactions too.
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
@@BritPopsReact nahhh I am just not fan of Oasis, don't take me seriously, my best singer is British James Graham, he has the perfect voice, he won The Four 2018, and untill now Diddy haven't give him a record deal, and he is American,oh btw, I am from Brazil 😘🇧🇷 Plus I am older than you both 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The what now? If you're saying MCR isn't influenced by Queen, they've specifically cited them as a key forerunner. If you're saying Queen doesn't share elements with MCR, Brian May disagrees. The Blink 182 comparison is very apt. This song in particular has a lot of the sounds of that era and bands of that ilk. I like that style, personally, but whether you find it a pro or a con, the statement is undeniably true.
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.
@J2 Kay Thank you for this comment too, ahh well sorry but that's what we tend to do here, if we find them sounding similar or reminding us of someone else, then we say what we think. If we had not mentioned that they sounded like Queen, then we would have got comments telling us that Bryan May played on the song and they are huge fans. So we were correct and it's sort of what we do to add some information to our reactions and not just jump off our chairs. Hope that helps and we have quite a few reactions to OOR, Band-Maid, LoveBites and more. Thanks for popping in
I'm... not sure what you could possibly suggest as an alternative? Everybody compares musical acts to other musical acts. What else could you use that would make any sense? Also, they are paying attention? Hence the ability to make the comparisons? It's cool to make suggestions, but if you want people to act on them, they have to be actionable. Is there something particular you want them to pay more attention to?
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 👍
@Carl Northern Thanks for dropping in and we like to hear opinions here, those are just our thoughts and musings at the time of hearing them. If I remember this reaction we did also say there was a heavy influence to Queen and Bryan May's guitar, which we later found out he was part of. We like to go all over the place and check out new artists and music, come along and see where we go next, we always try and give an honest feedback and have a laugh. Cheers👍
Dude, it's cool to be a big fan, but don't let it make you blind. The similarities to bands like Blink or McFly are undeniable. Personally, I like those commonalities, but no matter how you feel about them, they're definitely there.
It's sure lucky that we have you here to chime in with a comment that in no way addresses the problem you allege exists. Whatever would we do without you?

Yes… wasnt 9/11 the inspiration for a lot of this album?I think the lead singer witnessed it
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.
@rezner10
Ah OK, we did get some additional information from another comment too.
We may go back and listen to some more soon.
Yep it's an anthem that fits into a whole album that follows a patient.
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?.....

Our list is getting out of hand though.
We have some interesting ones coming soon.

The whole album is also a connected narrative, right?
@@michaelccozens That is correct Michael.
I would very much recommend "mama" as a next listen, it is a totally different side of them.

He also created Peni Parker.

Brian May actually played guitar with them on stage in concert for a few songs.
@Goof
Right, you can see why, they are very much his style and the guitar was very Brian May.
thanks for the comment and for watching.

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

enserió?, wow, no sabía lo del comentario de Brian, lo hizo en el mismo concierto? o que?
So proud when you compare them to QUEEN 👍
This song is like the modern day Bohamian Rapsody by Queen.
Thanks for the reaction guys 👍 From one of my favourite albums.... my music taste is quite diverse 😎
@Tom Trooper
Good to hear from you and glad we found another of your fave bands.
It sure is but that good too.
Thanks for watching and the comments.
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
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.
@Niki L
Thank you for watching, we may go back and look at more from them.
Yes youre right this band called queen fro my gen
This song was number one in U.K. in 2006. Hope you guys listen to more of their stuff someday.
MCR is THE SH*T!
Queen Day
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.
@Marti
Ahhh, well it did sound a little familiar.
Thanks for the comment and the support.
Ray Toro very much did the guitar on the album . Brian May played it live with them at Reading in 2011 but that's it

Queen are British. Brian May is Middlesex,Roger Taylor Norfolk,John Deacon Leicester. Freddie was the only one not born in the UK
Sometimes all it needs is.... that is a great song
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
@Debbie Reynolds
Thanks for watching, we will try to react to more from MCR
Def gotta do their song Helena
@Anthony Spicuzza
Thanks for watching, we will try and revisit these guys.
Thanks for the comment
Please react to Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love
Oh I love that song :D
9:40 I think you are thinking of Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag.
waiting for your next blackpink reaction
@devil assassin

You missed the 1st transition by skipping ahead 10 seconds
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 🤣

LOL, it's an amusing guess! I'm thinking he might have been remembering either Weezer, as they mentioned, or maybe Wheatus, of "Teenage Dirtbag" fame?
