The Haunting Beauty of The Black Parade | My Chemical Romance

[@connerolmedo888]

The release of this album coincided with the release of the Hannah Montana first album so it was really a Barbenheimer moment of the 2006 music charts

[@odddoritos]

marilyn manson bullying frank iero for his height in an interview back in 2006 was not something i knew about before watching this video

[@graymads]

you're welcome

[@dnttalktome9756]

Literally, my jaw dropped. He's so petty.

[@InLuvandDeath]

The beef between bert and gerard is literally my favourite part of this era, like Bert was so obsessed and angry with Gerard and it was so obvious that it makes me laugh. Also with the fact that Gerard just straight up ignored him. Bert really was just a spiteful ex XD

[@graymads]

it made researching this video a lot more fun lol

[@Nopee906]

I was a huge MCR fan. My sister was sa huge Used fan. It was war in the household at the time. But it's okay because we would make up by listening to The Academy Is... 😂

[@booziiokto]

"balconies, thats a new one! and you, patient?" "...im dead" me too patient, me too

[@xxkerosenexkidxx]

The fact that Famous Last Words was a bit about Mikey and how he left the band for a bit during everything he dealt with is just so heartbreaking.

[@astrozxmbiee]

Ok now you HAVE to do danger days next

i did promise to cover all 4 eras

G NOTE MOMENT

[@almac5446]

Where are you going to join the Black parade

[@dnttalktome9756]

Gerard Way is literally that meme that says, "Imagine hating me, and I'm just in my room like..." Bert and Brian want beef so bad, and Gerard is just posted at home drawing cartoons. I love him he's an angel.

[@dnttalktome9756]

Just saw The Used at When We Were Young 2024. He kept throwing shade at MCR. He said, "We've been a band 25 years. We never broke up. We never took a break. " As if we don't know, that's there's onky 2 original members left in The Used. They also went past their set time, got mad when they got cut off, and Bret threw the microphone in the crowd like a baby.

[@PsycheTrance65]

oof i wasn't aware that bert is still salty about whatever happened all those years ago either it was something really bad or he was (and still is) super immature about it

[@jessicalaw5407]

The used played in Australia last year and he made a bunch of comments at the show I went to. Wild behavior 😂

[@Guusagi]

I just finished reading a book called The True Lives of My Chemical Romance, which follows their journey too, highly recommend it! As a companion piece to these vids if you will :)

[@xxpainal69xx31]

Mmm emo

[@dannieRivers003]

We call it the Bible for many reasons! Great book. As well as the documentary Life on the murder scene. ❤

[@sev3n_elevann]

Reading that right now. Great way to pass time and learn more about the band ^^ currently on the first chapter :D

[@Guusagi]

@@sev3n_elevann it's sooo good u wont be able to put it down !

[@killjoycarioca]

where can it be read? loved the recommendation!

[@ryan_is_here_now]

People have tried to fit teenagers into the story as basically the patient reflecting back as a teen realizing he and his generation were groomed into being sick individuals

[@benthadragon]

I actually do think Teenagers works in the concept as a glimpse into The Patient's past, although I do agree it's placement chronologically and sonically is strange unless you're someone who views TBP as a non-linear story

[@nonu_2o9]

the first mcr song that i liked was actually house of wolves and this is how I disappear from black parade. my favrot song form the album now has to be mama, I just love the vibes. in geraral that was an excellent video graymads. lets just hope that this video doesn't get dimonotized because u clearly spent a lot of time on this.

[@steviescribbles]

WAYUSSY????? Go to jail 💀💀💀 Great video!!

[@sheascott583]

The danger days video is gonna make me cry i just know it

ANOTHER MCR VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! this is a sign that mcr5 is real guys

[@ohwordbog]

ive been waiting for this

[@The_Real_Prinzessin]

me too im so excited to watch

[@layla-8369]

i have no doubt the black parade is one of the best albums to come out of the 2000s. Thanks a lot for the video, i learned a lot from it. I really like how you format and script videos. Keep up the good work!

[@grimmsus1469]

i’m serious just so glad to see someone making videos ablut these guys in 2024. hoping you cover danger days next!

[@adileneolivares6777]

Ive been listening to MCR since i was probably 10 and im 23 now. I watch hundreds of interviews, read hundreds of them as well. Not once did i know about Mansons beef with MCR thats how irrelevant this MF was LMAO. ANYWAY love your videos. Keep up the great work. Youre one of my favorite channels for MCR content right now. Its so well researched and edited. I truly appreciate you in a era of people talking to the camera with their source being "believe me bro."

[@musicandmania]

I HAVE STILL BEEN STUCK IN THE MCR RABBIT HOLE I AM HERE AND SEATED

[@dblifts8887]

Honestly, your channel is one I heavily vibe with… I’ve always been into edgy FBI watchlist tier media, but so few content creators cover this sort of content. 😂 This sort of music ENCAPSULATED the vibes of the 2000s and I wish it would make a comeback.

[@musicandmania]

Just in time for WWWY 😭

[@Ash-p8v]

56:49 okay so for context that banner was brought by an audience member and they ripped it in half a few seconds after this

[@megano2000]

Truly the last time that rock peaked. Iconic, legendary album. Also, shoutout to Straylight Run!

[@Ravenstorm163]

I thaught the album was from pov of 2 characters which is supported by the Welcome to the black pared music video the acoustic/classic rock song from the narrater and the metal tracks are his conversation with his guide mostly called as the pareder

[@xcaliveristic5352]

Go watch wendigoons interpretation

[@beckulax]

Anyone coming here AFTER the tour announcement? There’s a specific part in this video (I listened to it last night prior to sleeping) discussing production after the Goo Goo Dolls part, where Gerard says (16:10) they jump 3 albums ahead. Pointing this out because of the MCR 5 theories ❤

God, i love family breakfast! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🍳

we love bob bryar

[@nikbullet27]

mh! my favorite!

[@unisity_]

tbh i think Teenagers really fits for its purpose. Its not too much like the rest, from the mv to the way the song is performed, teenagers are like just crazy. they wanna rebel and not conform to societal norms, they're loud and eccentric

[@Justabigbeaver]

I was supposed to see MCR and taking back Sunday in Allentown, pa in like 2006? But Bob Bryar got hurt during the famous last words video shoot SO THEY DIDNT PLAY AND IVE STILL NEVER SEEN THEM

[@fullofpoison]

'CAUSE THE HARDEST PART OF THIS... IS LEAVING YOU ‼️

[@NixyLuvsU]

I swear this morning I was like “I rlly hope this Black Parade video gets posted soon” after looking at the Three Cheers vid this very day and literally an hour later it GETS POSTED.. MCR is always watching

[@fallenangelcrimson]

to my way home…

[@KiaraValentine]

God, how many times have I listened "Mama"...

[@torchvideos93]

On your point about the timelessness of the art of TBP: A lot of the aesthetic approach to TBP and other works Gerard would do with that artist like Umbrella academy remind a lot of that “timeless” approach that went into the making of Batman: The Animated Series.

[@xofrnkk9209]

i got whiplash at that mention of bob with the family breakfast oh my GOD

[@graymads]

:)

[@slipknotboy555]

53:46 Jeez. With both of those Manson moments, I was like "Damn, not a good look, Brian." I'm still basically a fan of his (mostly listened to older stuff, etc), but both those were kinda shitty. Frank emerged in a way better light than him there for sure. He was being the bigger man, and Manson comes back with that? Come on. And apparently Frank is 5'6", btw. Not even that short. And who tf cares about height anyway?? Jokes are fine, but that came off pretty poorly. Haha. Good video. I bought the CD back when I was like 11, heh.

[@AquiNoHayNadaParaTi.4]

Another excellent video, my man! Now I gotta listen to this killer album again

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

Teenagers and Blood videos look great because they're the only ones who got 4K rescans of their 35mm film reels... why didnt they do that for the rest????

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

Also, Black Parade was shot on 35mm black and white film strips, Samuel said it on Instagram.

[@King.rouge0.0]

I cant wait for thr next one you do a great job

[@JackDiamond_FBOW]

Hey Greymads, loved the video and the whole serious an I got a question for you? You took the plot very much in track order, but what do you think of some different interpretations with a reshuffled tracklist (mainly the wendigoon one)?

[@graymads]

I haven't seen Wendigoon's video so i cant say. But that is an interesting idea, and I guess half the fun of interpreting the story. I take it in the chronological way because that's how it is presented and as far as the album goes it doesn't really give any notion to remix the order of the songs to get a different out come. But with how wishy washy the timeline of events are in the songs I can definitely see how moving them around could create a different or even similar but more cohesive plot.

[@JackDiamond_FBOW]

@@graymads Especially with teenagers (which you and me both have the same opinions on) as well as Cancer, and the jarring switchup from I Don't Love You to House Of Wolves

[@gugbug]

Video ideas: Atari Teenage Riot and HADOUKEN! Also, I appreciate how in-depth these videos are =)

[@thege0rge443]

The Black Parade isn't dead anymore! 👀 May need to come back on that later now that MCR have played the album in its entirety twice at the When We Were Young fest in Las Vegas. And Gerard's hair is short now...

[@thomasleongeorgerobertglad7560]

For future reference Reading (as in Reading and Leads) is pronounced Redding like Wedding with an R

[@masterseal0418]

The Black Parade is one of the best rock albums ever made because it told the story of a cancer patient losing his life to the illness, reminiscing on his younger years before the day he died. The Black Parade remains emotional and a perfect rock opera since Pink Floyd's 1979 album, The Wall imo. Around the same time, Gerard Way, MCR's lead assisted Tetsuya Nomura, and the production team of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children on the ending song exclusive to the Japanese version(with English subs) as the credits roll. It sadly wasn't present in the English dub, but there were so much passion for MCR's influence reaching a beloved JRPG franchise like The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII; if you're asking, yes, Cloud is emo, and Sephiroth as well as Vincent are goth. P.S. Gerard Way and MCR performed on Yo Gabba Gabba of sorts. Jack Black, actor, comedian, and co-founder of comedy-rock group Tenacious D also guest-starred in said Nick Jr. show.

[@CharleneOcampo13]

Following the songs linearly is too all over the place for me because of the disservice to Teenagers and it's place in the story LOL. I preferred the non-linear Patient-Parader theory I saw on YT a few years ago where the Patient was an unruly/ungoverned young person and the Parader was a fallen WW1 soldier. It also ties in with the WTTBP MV more cleanly for me where MCR in their military-styled outfits led the parade as they honored the Patient heading to No Man's Land, either to heaven or hell depending on which version of Famous Last Words you're listening to. and LOL THE INFAMOUS G NOTE 😂 I don't think there was anyone who got out of 2006 that would ever think it isn't Welcome to the Black Parade the moment they hear that note 😂

[@arachnephobic]

idk if anyone mentioned it but Evan Rachel Wood didn't play in Ghost of You but in Green Day's ''Wake me op when September ends'' (also about war XD) which makes this article even more riddiculous.

Ah yes, the band for where all my normie friends thought they were being "Emo" for listening to and along with things like Panic At The Disco or whatever and whatnot. I just wish they knew what really was what and not have a false sense of things you know? But it's whatever I guess....

[@Abigspider]

Gatekeeping is stupid

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

@@Abigspider Uhhh IDK about that one like honestly it all depends when it comes down to it NGL but what I said based off of if you know then you know kind of thing then I stand by what I said still since I know people who are actually like that or just for example when you see some people that don't know what anything dark is especially in a sub genre, they'll just immediately assume that it's "Emo" when we all should know by now that there are more than just "Emo" themes out there but is the most overused mainstream stereotype others are susceptible to... That's all I'm saying really I just wish those who would be willing to learn or know the difference would ask the right questions but if not and they just go on mindlessly and aimlessly saying the wrong things all the time and do not care or want to learn or know the difference then yeah that sucks big time... Also yeah sometimes you could be in the know but not know anything about different sub genres or they're true meanings like how the band Cure isn't actually a "goth" band even though they might have made a few song that were quote on quote goth like mcr did or whatever but still we just gotta know the difference simply... This was a lot of rambling for a explanation probably but when are we not rambling right??? Anyways yeah sometimes people can probably gatekeep things from you and not know anything at all while still trying to want to know or be informed of the right thing which sucks and can be annoying I know but I still understand why some gatekeep not gonna lie... Things do get ruined as they already have from many different things however I don't think it really matters anymore funny enough so umm yeah maybe gatekeeping to an extent is useless and meaningless probably... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Those who know what's right and what's wrong will know what to do simply by common sense of the brain and those that don't will continue to do whatever they think is right etc.
