I remember reading in an old interview from 2006 that Frank said this song was his favorite song to play live. I'm willing to bet that he was the one who fought for its inclusion in these reunion shows. :)
Yeah he played from 2011 to the breakup and then recorded fake your death and foundations of decay as well also he's a member of Gerards solo band so I feel he'll probably stick around with MCR.
He’s also the drummer of “Background Music” by American Nightmare. AN took mcr out on one of their first serious tours pre-Three Cheers. So I think they’ve all been friends for a long, long time. He’s a great fit.
okay i am STUNNED with the deep cuts they’ve been pulling out, i think it’d be reaaaally cool if they played this is the best day ever at some point but maybe that’s too deep?? idk. but this is sooo cool to see and also like. being a musician myself it’s kind of comforting seeing the fuckin lead guitarist in my favorite band slip up onstage and roll with the punches, like it’s just something that happens when you’re performing but it can be like really stressful so i think it’s cool how he like, he’s unapologetic about it as if it were fully intentional and i really admire that. god i love ray toro
Not a musician, but if you mess up just have fun with it. Of course it’s good to practice but if you slip up it’s okay to have a laugh. Not sure if you’re into Nirvana, but a whole bit would be all of them fucking around with the chords and the lyrics and even how everything was sang just for the hell of it and people loved them for it. It depends on the vibe you’re going for but it’s cool to see
I think "Best Day Ever" would be a great fit with the setlists the band has been playing! It's a fast, energetic song that would get the crowd and the band all jacked up, and it would be so much fun to sing along to live. Imagine how amazing singing the "SOMEDAY!" gang backing vocals would be in a huge crowd... I think everybody would have a great time with that song. Plus, "Best Day Ever" would fit in BEAUTIFULLY with the other songs from The Black Parade, since they both share a bit of a hospital theme. :)
@@astra8308 im not rewatching right now but i think it was just hitting the wrong note or something like that, i'm a guitarist and i've had a lot of slip ups on stage before but he's a great example of someone being able to like play it off in a way that people don't even notice a thing unless they're reaaaally paying attention and even then i certainly don't mean to imply that ray's doing anything other than an incredible job up there
The song I so desperately wanted them to play, and they did!! And didn't disappoint!! The absolute joy exudes from them. I love it Thank you for sharing!
It's the casual yeet of the hat at 1:16 for me 💀 I'm glad that they slowed the tempo down on this one aswell, every time they used to do this song live the tempo would get faster and faster
This makes me cry like a lot 🥲🥲🥲🥲❤️❤️❤️ I can't remember when the last time they ever played that intro had to be in 2005 or 2006, I'm really glad they did it! This song takes me back to 2004 I remember being 13 and hearing this song and I couldn't get over it.
It’s so important to me and countless others, that MCR keeps on playing. Every song, every word, every riff means the world. I’m so proud of the little band from New Jersey that could
I remember seeing them on the 3 Cheers Co-headlining tour with Alkaline Trio and a few times before and they never played the guitar solo intro. Cool to see them do it here!
I think it's just for Foundations merch like how some pieces have "decay." Since the visualizer shows a swarm my guess is that it's just related text for a design. They probably are preparing an album but I doubt it'll be called Swarm.
FAVORITE SONG EVER - thank you for recording it!!! Their kids must be so proud. The guys look awesome they play better than ever. I'd be damn proud if I was their child and now they get to live the hype of MCR!! Except maybe Mikey's youngest. :)
In case you forgot the lyrics, here u goo Yeah! Well, let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling And now, the red ones make me fly And the blue ones help me fall And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall Fall on your tongue like pixie dust Just think happy thoughts And we'll fly home, we'll fly home You and I, we'll fly home Come on! Well now, I'm back in the middle of the day that starts it all I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling And now, these red ones make me fly And the blue ones help me fall And I think I'll blow my brains Against the ceiling now We'll fly home You and I, we'll fly home Now honestly, that's what I said to her What I said to her Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts Think ha... Whoo!
I remember telling these guys backstage at the Warped Tour near Seattle that I wish they had played this song. Gerard said, "yeah," and a few seconds later they all fucked off back to their tour bus. Who knew they don't like playing this song live.
I haven't listened to this in so long! I totally forgot, this is the song that got me into mcr Seeing this makes me feel so old lol and so happy they performed it again!
@@snowmonkey17 Yep I was just hoping. Honestly any song that they don’t play live often would be a dream come true especially from Bullets because thats my favorite album. But seeing something like Burn Bright or Deathwish would be awesome too I love my chem ❤️
Thank you, very good recording. I'm not joking if I had a movie about my life I would choose Gerard as my brother. If he wanted to of course. But it Litterly felt like him. But idk because my brother is a really bad guy.
First time this song has been played since '09!!
Oh my frikin god
That’s insane, that is the yr i graduated high school. I saw them back in ‘06 for three cheers 🖤
Omg I hope they play this on Saturday it's may fav mcr song
INSANE
🥺🥺🥺
That person who’s all like “fashion statement!” Then the song starts and theyre like “oh. OMG.” FELT THAT
This song produces so much serotonin in my brain.
Also, Mikey looks younger here than he did in the last 10 years wtf?!
honestly i think it’s the fact that he took off the hat lmao
I know he was struggling with drug abuse but he got sober in 2014. Might have something to do with it?
Oh wow, they played the full intro of the song. :O They rarely play that part. That's so cool.
It’s the best part!
I remember reading in an old interview from 2006 that Frank said this song was his favorite song to play live. I'm willing to bet that he was the one who fought for its inclusion in these reunion shows. :)
I think Frank is the one who picks most of the songs for the setlists, so that would make sense!
lyrics: i think i’ll blow my brains against the ceiling
ray: :D
You know what, let’s take a second and appreciate the drummer. I’m so happy for him. Must be having the time of his life being able to play for MCR.
Yeah he's great but he was their drummer before the break up so he's not entirely new to it
Yeah he played from 2011 to the breakup and then recorded fake your death and foundations of decay as well also he's a member of Gerards solo band so I feel he'll probably stick around with MCR.
He’s also the drummer of “Background Music” by American Nightmare. AN took mcr out on one of their first serious tours pre-Three Cheers. So I think they’ve all been friends for a long, long time. He’s a great fit.
@@GrayWoIf yeah he did the drums on Frank's 1st solo album as well
jarrod isn’t exactly new lol hes played for them before the break up as well as gerard, ray, and franks solo stuff
I wonder if everyone knows how big a fucking moment this is
okay i am STUNNED with the deep cuts they’ve been pulling out, i think it’d be reaaaally cool if they played this is the best day ever at some point but maybe that’s too deep?? idk. but this is sooo cool to see and also like. being a musician myself it’s kind of comforting seeing the fuckin lead guitarist in my favorite band slip up onstage and roll with the punches, like it’s just something that happens when you’re performing but it can be like really stressful so i think it’s cool how he like, he’s unapologetic about it as if it were fully intentional and i really admire that. god i love ray toro

Where does Ray slip up?

yo yo yo! they play best day ever in okc!!!
Jesus, they haven't skipped a beat. Sounds great! So excited to see them playing again!
The song I so desperately wanted them to play, and they did!! And didn't disappoint!! The absolute joy exudes from them. I love it
Thank you for sharing!
The visual for foundations of decay is a swarm of flies. Decay? Flies? Witchcraft? A swarm? We might just get the best album yet.
i thought it was water😭
dedicated my username to this song. holy shit. i am transcending.
The chills I got when I heard the intro omg
It's the casual yeet of the hat at 1:16 for me 💀 I'm glad that they slowed the tempo down on this one aswell, every time they used to do this song live the tempo would get faster and faster

I fucking missed hearing this song live I’m glad it’s back ;}
Headfirst For Halos was my favorite song growing up
I still cant believe this exists tbh. Headfirst for Halos in 2022? Im glad i didnt kms
this is my favorite MCR song and I love to see them playing it so passionately and with a big smile 💕
i like how he started headbanging with the hat on and then he said "screw the hat" and threw it on the ground lol
It’s so important to me and countless others, that MCR keeps on playing. Every song, every word, every riff means the world. I’m so proud of the little band from New Jersey that could
I can't believe I am watching a fan cam of Head First in 4k!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG. Can you see that adorable Ray’s smile! This guys make me feel better:)
I lost my shit massively and this is just a video. I might pass out when I see them 🥺🖤
My fav song ever and I missed it by a day😭😍💖
I remember seeing them on the 3 Cheers
Co-headlining tour with Alkaline Trio and a few times before and they never played the guitar solo intro. Cool to see them do it here!
this song is so important to me sincerely thank you
ray smiling makes me so happy 😭♥️
What are your guys’ thoughts on all the “swarm” merch? New album?
better be a new album
I'm scared of bugs but I don't mind the flies 🥲, Might be able to acutally get some of that merch cause my mom doesnt like how the older merch looks 😭
Definitely a new album
I think it's just for Foundations merch like how some pieces have "decay." Since the visualizer shows a swarm my guess is that it's just related text for a design. They probably are preparing an album but I doubt it'll be called Swarm.
Def gonna be a new album
When I tell you I would legitimately lose my shit if they sang this live in front of me 🫠
FAVORITE SONG EVER - thank you for recording it!!! Their kids must be so proud. The guys look awesome they play better than ever. I'd be damn proud if I was their child and now they get to live the hype of MCR!! Except maybe Mikey's youngest. :)
I would die happy to witness this song live. 🖤
i would simply faint
They should play drowning lessons too
It's so nice to hear people's reactions when they realise MCR are playing old songs😂 Can't wait till they get over here to Australia ‼️
2:33 omg im dying
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS 😭🖤 thank you so much for uploading!!! 🖤
2:32 THE JOY
Think happy thoughts!!
Thank you for sharing! This is so awesome xD I love Halos
I cannot believe they are playing this, omfg. Maybe my dreams will finally come true and experience listening to this live myself. 😭
Amazing! I wonder what Ray told Frank at 2:33. Anyhow, great vids, thanks!
Can they hear each other with how much noise there is?? 😳😳
^ yes they can
@@Recorruptor wow
@@googplusisawful1922 it's not as loud as you would think behind the speakers
That is to say, it's loud but not impossible to talk upclose
You are a Legend Nathan - Thank You for sharing!
i still cant believe this
Ray looks so happy to be back and rockin the world again :DD
i love this song so much, it's my happy to go song. I really hope they play this when i'm going!
Goosebumps..
We missed them so much 😻
i hope they drowning lessons or honey this mirror isnt big enough for the two of us
Mind blown!!! This song!!! Thank you for sharing! 🙌🙌
Hahaha mind blown no pun intended
Thank you for grabbing this!
In case you forgot the lyrics, here u goo
Yeah!
Well, let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now, the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust
Just think happy thoughts
And we'll fly home, we'll fly home
You and I, we'll fly home
Come on!
Well now, I'm back in the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now, these red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains
Against the ceiling now
We'll fly home
You and I, we'll fly home
Now honestly, that's what I said to her
What I said to her
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts
Think ha... Whoo!
I remember telling these guys backstage at the Warped Tour near Seattle that I wish they had played this song. Gerard said, "yeah," and a few seconds later they all fucked off back to their tour bus. Who knew they don't like playing this song live.
Find someone who looks at you like Ray looks at Gerard at 1:44
yoo thanks for the upload
Ray looks so fucking happy
Que bonito cuando Ray recostó su cabeza en el hombro de Frank :'3 awwwww 💕💕💕
Ray looks so happy 🥺🥺🥺
oh my GOD 😭 ❤
HOLY SHIT
I cannot believe they played this song!! Omg
It's my dream to see this song live before I die.
Omg Ray getting Frank back so adorable *cries inside*
Thank you so much for uploading! :^) It's crazy to hear this in 2022
WOW.
screaming crying pissing my pants
LEGENDS 🔥
Thank you so much for sharing 🖤
I haven't listened to this in so long! I totally forgot, this is the song that got me into mcr
Seeing this makes me feel so old lol and so happy they performed it again!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Only now did I realized how great this song is.
Here before it blows up
OMG
I would have shit my pants right then and there. Anything from Bullets would probably make me die if I got to see it live
If they play drowning lessons or demolition lovers in Florida ill die happy
Those two are probably the least likely to be played from bullets
Omg Demolition Lovers 🥺😍😍
they dont play drowning lessons often at concerts bc they say its cursed bc whenever they play it live smth bad happens 😟
@@snowmonkey17 Yep I was just hoping. Honestly any song that they don’t play live often would be a dream come true especially from Bullets because thats my favorite album. But seeing something like Burn Bright or Deathwish would be awesome too I love my chem ❤️
@@PansySilverhand77 dude i want them to play a song from bullets at the concert im going to i swear to god bullets is the best album ever created 😭
I'm crying on the bus to work
PRAYING for demolition lovers
This made my day! Thank you so much!
That album saved my life and I know im not the only one
THANKYOU🖤MCR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wish they didn't slow down the tempo but It's still great to hear them playing some deep cuts from Bullets
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” I said In excitement
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite mcr song 🖤
Thank you, very good recording.
I'm not joking if I had a movie about my life I would choose Gerard as my brother. If he wanted to of course. But it Litterly felt like him. But idk because my brother is a really bad guy.
THANKS NATHAN 🙏💖!!!!
