Can we just appreciate Liza Minelli's vocals in Mama? That's the song that got me into MCR and I just love the whole album.

[@dlmetal9606]

Sir Comsatteur when I fell in love with the black parade around 2008, mama was my favorite! MCR was my favorite band for a couple years from there. I've went back recently and I've been listening to all of their albums again!

[@themoonismozzerella6159]

Hezekiah Pabico SAME

[@bekahnavarro]

Hezekiah Pabico I love hearing them tell that story. Frank was like, "I bet I can get Liza Minelli to do guest vocals." Everyone else: Okay Frank, sure. And he got her to say yes.

[@anniehuckaby2649]

Sleep is probably one of my all time favorite songs of all time

[@Paiinx]

Finding an album that you love from start to finish is really hard, but I honestly never skip any of the songs in The Black Parade. I love them all individually, and they are really freaking amazing live too

Funny because I was a huge fan of MCR back in the 2000's but it took me some time to understand The Black Parade. I listened to Bullets and Three Cheers non-stop, I was crazy emo girl back then. But when The Black Parade came out I didn't get it. I was still connected to songs like Helena or Thank You for the Venom. Years later I could really get it and it is MCR's best album for sure. House of Wolves is my favorite song. Great vocals and guitars. Even Mikey's basslines are awesome in this one. The lyrics are hauntily beautiful. And I Don't Love You was the first song I learned to play on the bass. Special place in my heart for that.

[@felixmeinert5191]

This is most likely my favorite album of all time. It's damn flawless in my opinion. The storyline, the aesthetic, the lyrics and how they are portrayed, every single thing about it. Truly a masterpiece for the ages!

[@yeahimnotdeadyet9319]

My favorites from the album are The End, Dead, This Is How I Disappear, The Sharpest Lives, Welcome To The Black Parade, I Dont Love You, Cancer, House Of Wolves, Mama, Sleep, Teenagers, Disenchanted, Famous Last Words and Blood

[@lightvtproductions]

I've never really listened to MCR, and I'm starting to regret that!

[@Gus1494]

Yea, (are you kidding) is easily the weakest track.

I like how you must have had some sort of photoshoot for your thumbnails awhile ago because they always have your old hair.

[@amirpalamar7133]

Oh. Okay. Wow I never even noticed that 😂😂

[@jamiegreenberg8476]

I think in the album the patient HIMSELF has a alter ego. Allow me to explain When listening to The End. you basically hear how sad his life was and practically worthless he was as a person and this also continues on Dead! BUT there is this one line "You never fell in love" (which I will go back to) and this line is very important in my theory. (EDIT: Also in Dead! the tense of it shifts. For example in the start of the song: "YOU never fell in love did YOU get what YOU deserve the ending of YOUR life" then in the middle of the song "and in MY honest observation during this operation found a complication in YOUR heart so long cause now YOUVE got maybe just two weeks to live is that the most the BOTH OF YOU can give?" so this part is obviously a conversation between the patient, the doctor and someone else *i.e the alter ego* )This is How I Disappear/Sharpest Lives go into this really dark mindset which I think is when we meet the patient's alter ego. (I will refer to the alter ego as Pepe only because that's what the characters who's on the cover on the album is named) Because in The End. and Dead! you hear how the patient is basically a waste of space but Pepe has such deep anger/anxiety and whatever that it can't be the same person. Welcome to the Black Parade is the patient dying but I feel like when it says "Your memory will carry on" it's not only the patient dying but also a little part of Pepe dying because Pepe seems to have a much larger impact in general than the patient. I Don't Love You is about a crush the patient had but decided to execute it as Pepe because in Dead! it says "You never fell in love" (told you this line would be important) but I Don't Love You is basically a sad breakup song it's the patient getting over his crush but Pepe deciding to actually forget about her. House of Wolves is about Pepe's life and we get a little taste of it but also remember that Pepe is also dying because they are technically the same person (split personalitys OR *as I said earlier* an alter ego) Cancer is obviously about the patient dying, accepting death but being angry that he has to die and begging his family just to leave him as the cancer devours him. Mama is about Pepe and perceiving the patient/Pepe's demons as war and Mother War/Mama (the character that Liza Minelli voices) is therapy/anti-depressants/something else along those lines. Sleep is about putting the patient to rest (figuratively and physically *burying him*) and his regrets about what he could've been but wasn't. Teenagers is about (other than the actual meaning of the song but in the perspective of the entire album) is about how the patient was basically bullied in the past and created Pepe as some sort of escape route but at the same time about letting go of the past (your youth) but embracing it at the same time. Disenchanted is about the memories of the patient BEFORE he created Pepe and its about the good times in the past, the bad times in the past and future bad events that would happen during over the course of the album. Famous Last Words is about the patient letting go of life, his state of being, death, his life beforehand, and also Pepe. Its about the patient FINALLY confronting Pepe, letting Pepe go and then himself. I think its a beautiful how they had done this, its one of my favorite albums of time BUT I wanna hear what people think of my theory! Say shit in the comments so maybe I can elaborate/fix some confusion people had.

[@emmaannice6605]

This is such a good theory. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidtausiet]

One of the GREAT things about MCR is that they are a big tree that has given birth to many roots. One of them, Gerard Way' solo career and his fantastic debut Hesitant Alien. Second, Frank's creation of an incredible band with a fun first record. They're releasing the next one, PARACHUTES nexf friday. Third, Mikey's great tecno band Electric Century and finally Ray Toro's solo career. He will release REMEMBER THE LAUGHTER this november. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BOTH REVIEWS. MCR WILL LIVE FOREVER 💙

[@marie-camillecarrier8901]

My little review of The Black Parade track by track. I was 21 when the album was released. I saw The Black Parade on tour 3 times. My favorite band and most beautiful memories I have. 1- The End The perfect song to introduce the album. "Now come on come all to this tragic affair. " 2- Dead! Never have I felt so alive listening to a song ! Ray's guitar is so good in this track. 3- This is how I disappear One of my favorites. So much raw emotion. Powerful chorus. And the bridge is even more powerful. "You wanna see how far down I can sink. Let me go ! F*** !" 4- The Sharpest Lives Two words: catchy melody. I think this song describes perfectly the MCR music style. To put it just after Disappear was a great idea. 5- Welcome to the black parade This song could be the perfect example to any band on how taking the best of music influence to write the perfect song. We really feel Gerard totally agrees when asked "Would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" This is MCR's letter to the world. Your memory will carry on indeed. 6- I don't love you I skipped this song a long time and when I saw the video, I was not encouraged more to listen to it. But then I heard a cover only piano and voice of this song with a slower tempo and I understood how rich this song is. 7- House of wolves Pure rock. Even Gerard is caught in the beat, rolling some rrr in ashes! The attitude they had in Revenge album is back in the bridge: "You better run like the devil cause they never gonna leave you alone ... I've been a bad motherf***er, tell your sister I'm an other " 8- Cancer I still cannot believe Gerard sat with Rob Cavallo and wrote this beautiful song in 8 minutes. One of the greatest add on The Black Parade is the piano and MCR couldn't be in better hands than with Rob. (He also produced every Green Day album from Dookie to American Idiot. ) It's one of the songs that changed the most live and it's rare that I say this, but I prefer the live version. Listen to it on The Black Parade is Dead album. So much chills. 9- Mama One of my favorites. I remember when I saw the show live, the flames were so intense! And this song started as a bet to Ray that he couldn't do a rock song with a polka beat. Well damn! And Liza Minelli is perfect. 10- Sleep My favorite song of all times. It's the sister song to Helena, both songs dealing with death and with the same passion. I have the goosebumps every time I hear Gerard screaming "Wake up!!!" 11- Teenagers I love this song, even though putting it after Sleep was a bad choice for me. It doesn't fit with the style of the rest of the album but it is that good it deserved to be there. It's the kind of song people not fan of MCR can appreciate. 12- Disenchanted The lyrics are the greatest strength of this song. A simple but oh so efficient melody. Like on Desert song, the add of the acoustic guitar is a good choice on this track. 13- Famous last words The song is grandiose yeah. And you watch the video and you remember the story behind, the intensity grows every moment. What a beautiful way to end a perfect album.

[@victoriagrace5134]

I only recently got into MCR. So when people talk about overplay killing songs, I feel super happy that I wasn't effected by that. I absolutely adore Welcome to the Black Parade, it's becoming one of my favorites of all time. The entire album really is a genuine masterpiece. I'm especially fond of Disenchanted. I really love the lyrics and musicality on that song. But seriously, all of the tracks are fantastic. This has quickly become my second favorite album of all time after only a month or two of hearing it (it is topped only by Astoria by Marianas Trench). I love this album.

[@googoogaga7175]

[@zaq52]

My favorite song on the album is disenchanted or Dead! Disenchanted because the vocals of Gerard sound like he's being drained of all hope. The way it jumps into the 1st verse is just beautiful going from soft to loud in a good transition. Dead! Because it sounds like something you'd here off revenge because of the hard guitar and the theme of revenge but the story telling goes with the black parade. Amazing guitar solo too and vocals. Disenchanted:5/5 amazing vocals Dead!: 5/5 some of the best guitar

[@rei9185]

Beautifully spoken. This one is my favorite album of all time, and it means so much to me on so many different levels. It's nearly indescribable, impossible to put into words why I love it so much. Glad someone can put exactly what I think when I listen to it out there. Great review!

[@MichaelBrown-bf7zr]

Jon! Have you listened to Kevin Smith's podcast episode featuring Gerard and Mikey going in depth on this album, their career, and the two hour track commentary on Welcome to the Black Parade? It's absolutely incredible, if not you should definitely check it out, this goes for anyone who hasn't heard it yet! I listened to it again recently, and it still blows my mind how they crafted such a staple in rock and roll history. Also, great review, I love your really lengthy in depth ones!

[@pasi8800]

Long live the black Parade!

[@ballinglikechoji6558]

you guys ready to be jealous? I have a jacket that Gway wore on stage during the black parade tour, I haven't washed it since it fell off the stage and I snatched it from the little platform between the main stage and the crowed ... its the black one with a bunch of buttons and ribbons on the front that resembles a marching band jacket... its far too small for me to wear since Gerard is like 5'6 and quite smol but I have it up in my closet, it honestly smells really bad, it smells like when you open something and it smells like the factory still. I've seen them two times... once at warped tour (although I was quite young then and didn't really know too much about the band at the time) and once during the black parade. also I'm about to shamelessly brag about this one... I've seen FOB every time they've come to the Washington DC/ Maryland/ Virginia area😜 but my favorite FOB show had to be the young wild things tour:) that's when I got to give Patrick stump a hug... he was quite a sweaty little man but somehow he still smelled good 🤔

[@Robert1211995]

I have seen them live twice once in 2007 on project revolution and once on their danger days album they were awesome live and hopefully one day they make a comeback and perform this album and some other songs again.

I only heard about the album a month ago and I've loved it ever since

[@namelessshameless1505]

Something I seriously love about MCR, especially in TBP, is how even tho Ray is the lead guitar and Frank does rhythm, in a way, they're both basically the lead.

[@tss3393]

I've made comments on your videos about The Black Parade before, specifically Famous Last Words, so I'll summarize my thoughts the same way you did. You say this got you through a lot of dark times. For me, it was a statement of survival in retrospect of my own dark days. I won't overload you with a life story (I may have already on your Death Songs video-oops), but long story short, there was a lot of baggage bogging me down in those days. It made me afraid to trust myself and live my life genuinely, so I let myself become a shut-in. Then when I got to my 20's, I started living my by own means and fleshing out my real potential. It's been a revolutionary experience. So this year, when I finally gave Black Parade a chance and the chorus of Famous Last Words hit my ears for the first time, it came with a huge catharsis. I realized just how much baggage I'd left behind me and that I could FINALLY say it true that I was not afraid to keep on living. Not now, and not ever again.

[@mdankelson]

I'm really glad that you appreciate "Dead!" as much as I do; it's definitely one of my all-time favs as well. I'd bet that you've already seen their AOL session performance of it, but if you haven't, check it out. It's awesome!

[@sia6981]

that (are you kidding) in the least favorite tracks made me laugh so much because it's the most true thing i've ever read

[@schuszter4280]

Favourites: Mama, Dead!, Welcome To The Black Parade, Teenagers, Disenchanted, Cancer, House Of Wolves, The Sharpest Lives, This Is How I Disappear, The End., I Don’t Love You, Blood, Sleep Least Favourites: none Rating: 5/5

[@TheAllisterMac]

Great album, I loved all the tracks except "the sharpest lives" whenever i first heard it about four years ago when i was 16 and really got into music. But in time it too has grown on me, i listen to the whole album regularly. No weak tracks, i quit trying to decide my favorite track, every track works, even blood. I'd have to say it ties for my favorite album of all time with "The autumn effect" by 10 years. "American idiot" by green day and "phobia" by breaking benjamin would be close second and third, those albums opened up the world of music for me personally. Thanks for this review John!

I never hear it acknowledged much because this album was definitely inspired by Queen more, but I see a lot of similarities between The Black Parade and Pink Floyd's The Wall. Mostly with the story. And if you listen to In the Flesh and The End, both starting tracks, they're incredibly similar in sound.

[@jeffemerson60]

Happy 10 Years The Black Parade!!!! While it's arguably my least favorite album from MCR due to some poor transitions from track to track (Except This Is How I Disappear into The Sharpest lives) and some confusing characterization in the first half, I can't even imagine where the emo or pop punk sub-genres would be without this album. It was the first Unabashedly Emo album to reach the mainstream, the majority of the acts I see today have all some sort of respect for this thing, and it was the last time (Until Twenty One Pilot's Blurryface) that a band with this large appeal took so many creative extremes yet managed to please nearly everyone. It's one of the few albums that I go back to at least once a year so I could remind myself of what I enjoy and expect out of music and I'm so glad that despite the flaws I mentioned it still hold's up. Here's hoping that they do come back one day, or gerard actually finish's another solo album.

[@murdoxxed]

I know, people bash MCR so much for being "emo", and they seem to forget that they had two of the greatest albums of the decade.

[@phantasma1312]

kokakoliah Similar story for me, I didn't want to engage with the emo sub-culture, but my dad got me into them because Famous Last Words is his favourite song and now I can barely imagine my life without them. I do still try to avoid the emo sub-culture, but to me that doesn't mean I can't enjoy bands like this

[@gnome7806]

Blurryface compared to the great black parade? Are ypu high?

[@sydstowe6163]

jeff emerson the transition between the end to dead is probably one of my favorite parts of the album

[@alternativetentacles1760]

jeff emerson The Black Parade is not Emo. It’s a traditional hard rock album styled in a theatrical rock opera fashion. And the experimentation and overall feel are not extreme. They’re in line with classic rock albums of the 70’s. Listen to Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. You’ll hear the strong influence. This is why “The Black Parade” is holding up. It mirrors masterpieces from the golden age of rock. Back when rock musicians were on a whole other level of musicianship, creativity, and artistry.

[@jonnynelson105]

great videos dude
