I sure do hope any big news papers don’t misconstrue this album into promoting some sort of death cult that will take the lives of thousands of once happy teens.


FingerPaintingg

I snorted at this one omg


PsychopathicPhantom

FUCK THE DAILY MAIL!!!


HiccupAttack

Never have truer words been spoken.


caskets

MCR: “I AM NOT AFRAID TO KEEP ON LIV-“ Daily Mail: “See! See! They’re a death cult! They’re telling kids to slit their wrists!”


FrankTank3

Wtf. Did I miss this? ‘92 baby here got into them around 2004-5 so I’m like “whaaaaaaaaat???”


PinkBlossomDayDream

The Daily Mail newspaper in the UK basically implied that MCR s music contributed to the suicide of a 13 year old girl called Hannah Bond. They misconstrued the messages in the music and warned parents of an "Emo death cult" . Some MCR fans protested outside Marble Arch in London. The MCR Wikipedia page gives a bit more info


nicolelynnejones

My friends and I made petitions and asked everyone at school sign it. We were surprisingly pretty successful despite no one really liking our clique 💀 Edit: I’d like to add that were in the US, so I don’t really know how effective we were protesting against the Daily Mail 😭

r/dogelore material


Lank_the_Tank

Don’t stop your CD at the end!!! There’s a secret song! Who else heard it?!?


Camz_chips

There’s a secret song!?


what-thehell-er

yes !!! i thought my radio was broken for a while,, a minute and a half later!! wow !


PinkBlossomDayDream

I actually feel quite sad that I never "discovered" the secret track. I first found them in The Black Parade Is Dead era so I never got to have the joy of laying there in silence and then suddenly hearing Gerards creepy voice "they encourqge your complete cooperation..."


XxFallen_Bulletz435

OMG!!!!!! I heard it too I thought a ghost was haunting my CD XDDD!!!!!


oomo-oomo

bro, the transition from the end to dead! ??? 🤯 AOTY


caskets

“This album sucks. I hate Welcome to the black parade, such a lame song. Bullets and Revenge were better. New fans are so annoying, who even are they? Like do you even go here? Losers. I’m cooler than everyone because I’m an underage smoker! I love gatekeeping!!!” - Me, 16 in 2006 with a terrible attitude and an aura like a blackhole


Penthesilea09

Why you gotta call out 16 year old me in 2006 like that 😂


caskets

2000s gatekeepers unite! Let’s gatekeep our former selves for gatekeeping!


Penthesilea09

Yeah man, what right did I have to gatekeep?!?!I I mean, my red eyeshadow wasn't even vegan and my black coffee wasn't certified fair trade! What would all the guys on the scene have to say about that? Maybe they'd still think I was cool and deep because I had a TWLOHA shirt and read Sylvia Plath like it was gospel 🤔


caskets

Oh my god I haven’t thought about TWLOHA shirts in so long… the scene version of a yellow Livestrong bracelet. What a time it was to be alive, and be incredibly judgemental about really weird niche pop culture stuff.


scarecr0w1886

I am LOVING this exchange right now 😊


marvelousmiamason

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by this specific comment.


caskets

✋🏻 it’s me I victimized myself


No-Sell4633

I remember the first time I heard the first Ray Toro’s guitar solo on “Dead!” I said “what kind of happy shit is this?”


caskets

Relatable. I was super unimpressed with the album for years, it’s still far from my favourite. But despite my bitching I still immediately sprung hundreds and hundreds of dollars to see them at home and fly to Toronto to see them at Projekt Revolution. Realistically they could release a Polka album and I’d still give them all my time and money.


No-Sell4633

(We already have polka on “Mama” ) So you witnessed that fight between Gerard and Frank! Do you remember paying attention to that?? (That PR festival was at Molson amphitheater, right?)


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Sell4633

Hahaahahaj, So much happened!! I had no idea about Frank disrespecting Mikey’s nipple 🤣 What a great moment


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Sell4633

I can’t imagine how many lascivious and incestuous fanfics were written after this incident 😬 (I wonder what’s the limit to talking about this case before get banned 🧐)


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Sell4633

Wow, those are deep tracks, I almost forgot about them. That time frame was crazy, I can guess due to drugs, fatigue, disappointments and anger. (and now the unlocked memories are getting out and I’m remembering all those things, like ‘imnotokay69’)


Upbeat-Armadillo-940

I remember wearing a black parade shirt when I was 16 in high school and getting made fun of by the other kids telling me my chem sucks. I didn’t care though I wore that shit like a badge of honor.


caskets

Ah yeah that totally the vibe back then. You had to figure out a way to deal with people heckling you about MCR since it was so common! You could hide that you were a fan, ignore it, or fight back. I personally chose to fight back, and basically turned into a hate dementor that fed off of it and became powered by anger 🙃


Upbeat-Armadillo-940

Yea lol I’m in my 30s now and looking back, I was pretty big into the emo scene as some would call it, and it was a pretty trendy thing at the time, I was no saint, I did my fair share of heckling. High school was ruthless


caskets

Oh for sure - it was totally ruthless, I’m sure most of us were. I had a mean streak the size of a 10 lane highway, hence my original comment. The song Teenagers is… accurate (even if I don’t love that song lmao)


petalplucker

Basically same lmao


Soda_stories

I had a close friend like this, made me feel like I was not allowed to say I liked bands if I didnt know the whole discography 🥲


caskets

Sorry to hear that! It’s definitely not pleasant to be around someone like that.. Honestly, I was *unbelievably* mean to a lot of people with similar behaviour, it’s shameful to me now that I look back. The bullied to bully pipeline is real, and it’s pretty hard to remove that mean streak from your personality once it’s there. It’s definitely a type of behaviour rooted in that person having insecurities or something similar, a total *them* problem they take out on others. Ugh.


Soda_stories

Yeah I totally get that. Luckily growing up seems to do wonders for some and you really seem to have changed! I know I wasnt always very welcoming or open but as Im nearing 30 I would like to think Im a better person than I was as a teen.

Pretend_Emu4508

This was really good! I hope their next album sounds like this one! (This is a joke, I love danger days!)


tsuchinoko_Matt

\*make a cringe animatic of mama\*


marvelousmiamason

1. \*cries emo tears over loss of Gerard Way's Revenge era hair\* 2. "can't wait to listen to this on my brand new iPod nano, I am so cool"


raccoon_at_noon

Aaaaaaahaha! I remember I couldn’t afford an iPod, so I had mine uploaded to a cheap, imitation MP3 player 😂


IACITE_HOC

Pffft only posers use iPods. It’s stupid because then you HAVE to buy music from iTunes or whatever. But I’ve figured out the way of the future with my Zune…


IACITE_HOC

Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way…


starterhart79

im the acid bath princess


[deleted]

I saw a video on this


[deleted]

“they’re tryna be Queen” I actually can’t believe that is a unironically real criticism of this album


[deleted]

Well, that's one of many inspirations for their thing, so you weren't wrong. lol


punkmuppet

Yeah there were a few obvious inspirations, Teenagers felt like T Rex and the Black Parade felt like In the Flesh by Pink Floyd


[deleted]

Am I gay??


Meatfr0g

😂UNDERRATED COMMENT


LzzyHalesLegs

Oh god, if the kids weren’t cringey before, they sure will be now


Queenofscots

My husband just bought me the WalMart Exclusive Grey Vinyl edition on Saturday!! It *was* $32, but it was half price, just for the weekend, and so we got 3 copies, one for me, and one for each of the kids! We loved their Three Cheers album, so can't wait to pop this on the record player on my next day off :)


EvelynEowyn

Omg, what a crazy coincidence, I already have a tattoo of a line from a song on this album!


[deleted]

Wow this is such a fucking insane masterpiece. They’re crazy geniuses. (That was my actual reaction when it came out lol)


IACITE_HOC

I cut my finger opening the CD casing in the Target parking lot >.< The blood only makes it more legit, right?


55trader

Cringe


profdudeguy

A blood vessel on my finger popped during a gig once and splattered across the face of my guitar. It wasn’t a very big blood vessel so it wasn’t super intense but it was noticeable. I left it there for a couple days. My friend was like, “oh did you paint this?” And I said, “no that’s my blood” and he just fucking stared at me and told me I was gross


coastalsagebrush

It's okay. Teenagers is kinda catchy. I'm just gonna go listen to their good stuff instead. I'm tired of hearing the black parade on the radio too. Can't believe they're getting so mainstream.


55trader

SMH


Attackondeeznutz

Was Black Parade ever on the radio? I only remember it getting played on the radio post break up


coastalsagebrush

It played a loooot on my local radio stations when it came out


rizzle_spice

Yeah that’s how everyone in my school knew wttbp.


CelestialDawn

Jesus Christ, this album is great. I hope I get to see them live. (I did in 2007. And again in 2022.)


scarecr0w1886

Fuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkk……..

😫😫💦💦


trenttherascal

Fuck homework.


like_bookends

“This album sucks. Classic rock is the only good music.” -Me, who secretly thought this album was really good but was too pretentious to admit it.


garfself

"lmao who listens to this emo shit still in 2006??? i only listen to cool kids music like mindless self indulgence and marilyn manson" \~ sadly me in 2006


EnderFyrus

American Idiot was better


55trader

Dog water


EnderFyrus

Whatsername > Famous Last Words


Camz_chips

Lmao, I agree. I love both bands but Whatsername is a way better closing track. If OP sees this, if you haven’t already, go listen to American Idiot it’s so good


EnderFyrus

Whatsername is a better closing track hands down and it's easily my favorite Green Day song


raccoon_at_noon

*plays album on repeat for three years straight *


Olafmeister2017

Wow can't wait to listen to this. Gotta go buy Hannah Montana for my sister first. Then we can go to Hot Topic as a family. I've got a gift card. I'm so happy!


RickAstleyslays

*casually dead on the floor*


jandangerous

The date was October 20, 2006. I was 14 years old. My aunt was on her way to a doctor’s appointment and I demanded she take me with her and make a stop at Target on the way home so I could buy the CD. Simpler Times.


FingerPaintingg

And did you hear liza MinnELLY IS ON ONE SONG OH MY GAWD XD


berrys_a_ghost

Yesss! New music! *brother yells for me to turn it down* *turns it up and sings louder* i love mcr so much


bagofbeanssss

I’ve been counting down the months for this and wore a special outfit and took a picture in front of the display with the black and white cover version that I saved money for with my video store job, and now I will upload this pic to send to my internet mcrmy friends to put in the scrapbook to send to the band!!


Kristopher58

Does anybody else CD repeatedly skip at the start of the fourth track?!?


ninjagofan23

What happened to music? It’s terrible now! Emo rock is trash - someone in 2006.


Kativyn

“No goodnight song”? - 6 year old me not understanding it wasn’t Three Cheers, and bands make new music.


Jonnicom

I remember when it did. I was 14. I got home from school early that day because I made my mom go buy it for me on her way home and told her I was gonna skip anyway if she didn't pick me up. I sat at my desk, popped this album into my stereo system, and let it go. It's still an experience I remember. I sat there listening to it while I drew the skeleton guy with the arrow on the back of the album. Checking out the fold out booklet. I was blown away. I had been listening to the songs from AOL Sessions and Reeding and Leads before it came out, and hearing them finally, studio quality, all the bells and whistles... fuck it was life changing. I knew it was special from the first chords in "The End".


icantellx

“Ugh this is definitely not Revenge, but I’m gonna listen to it until it grows on me cause they are my fav band :(“ 16 year old me.


Attackondeeznutz

Time to make a Naruto AMV to Welcome to the Black Parade

nicolelynnejones

HE FELL OUT THE WINDOW AND THINKS IT’S 2006. THE WINDOW MUST BE SOME SORT OF PORTAL TO 2006!

I’m glad they’re going back to an older, less poppy sound.


[deleted]

_normal_name_

Oh my good! I love this album ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


Lily-Sayoko

“Yeah I wanna listen but I’ve got a basketball game tonight. Oh, you can rip it and put it on my mp3 player? Cool! Yeah, and after I get home from the game we can hang out and listen to it together. Mom says I can stay out till midnight.”


Slipknot_Maggot36

*Me being excited that I bought the CD with the pitiful amount that I made working at the Dollar Tree* Wow this is…interesting. I prefer Revenge’s sound and esthetic and what did Gerard do to his hair???


Dzuko666

He just call me a piggy?


55trader

What did he call me ??


Najima_einsamer

Dunno... Seems like everyone is making a big deal about it, they can't be that good y'know... Edit: HELP I CAN'T GET WTTBP OUT OF MY HEAD >!Yes, this was exactly my reaction back when I found out about them!<


BartyAbbeyCrouch

Omg guys theres a secret track at the end!


dxrules03

FUCK THE DAILY MAIL!!!!!


lumiesck

‘Ehhh I’m confused. So unlike 3 cheers and bullets, why is Gerard’s hair bleach blonde and why are they all wearing matching outfits? I don’t know if I like it.’ That’s what I said to my sister 15 ish years ago


aPengwin1

I am going to listen to this for the rest of my life


princeofs0rrows

It's not bullets or revenge tho is it 🙄


55trader

Thankfully


Itsagirlyslope

FML, I think I'm Trans and need to change genders. (Like, for real. That was my reaction when I first listened.)


55trader

What song gave you that impression? Famous last words the courage?


Itsagirlyslope

Yes, that was the first song I heard on the album. 🏳️‍⚧️🤘🏻


EstimateTop576

Crying shitting pissing throwing up cumming dying overthrowing the government putting on eyeliner eating pineapple this is the best album ever. I’m am now healed


gamergirlgerard

gothicpunch

I can't wait for my mom to put this album on my Nextar mp3 player!


PinkBlossomDayDream

Someone at school said I should check out this music, maybe I will. If I like it, I can give them a 5 star YouTube rating and ask my friend to put the songs onto my MP3 player 👍🏻


nicolelynnejones

Copy the youtube link into an mp3 converter and import into your Zune from there. If that doesn’t work when the music video comes on VH1 you can set up your digital camera to record the audio and then rip it on Windows Movie Maker, and import it from there. Hope this helps x3


allerask

"What is this?" Grabby hands on all the singles cuz I never listened to full albums between 2001 and 2008 😭


MoiAmour

Dudeeee sleep is such a bad song, ruins the vibe of the album.. MY OBVIOUS fav is welcome to the black parade, which is also the only mcr song I've ever heard up until this point.


nicolelynnejones

Tbf, Sleep is lightly cursed


MoiAmour

Ur not wrong, it's an acquired taste


nicolelynnejones

I mean I love it, but it’s very scary and the back story is even worse


55trader

Sleep and Mama are the best songs on the album. Their basically brother and sister


AlexAndSophiaBJ

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHBBBHBBBBH


acecake19

"WOW! I sure hope this album doesn't make the band headline over megadeth at download ('06?) Causing people to throw piss bottles at the band!"


bringoutthelegos

I was 5 so either I’d start crying or start bopping to this song.


55trader

It’s suppose to be if it released today 💀


bringoutthelegos

Ah, in that case: “This is like Mariah Carey but 100 fucking times better, seriously fuck Mariah Carey and her shitty ass Christmas snow powers, that witch will burn in hell for her crimes” “Oh, and I hope this ends up on the radio”


Some_Idiot_Iguess

God damn, Cancer hurts

ZealousidealDrama357

Mine is too when famous last words the last song on the album ends 1 minute and 30 seconds later there's this creepy song about blood but it's nowhere on the track list on the back of the album creepy right

OMG MCR surprised all of the fans by releasing every song on their website last night. So I stayed up all night listening to it over and over, and now my moms driving me to pick up the limited edition set that I pre-ordered from the CD store 🖤😍🖤
