they're a rock band, and Ik they aren't the same but they have a similar vibe to them, they can easily be modified by tone and playing style alone to be one or the other lol
This are just my top riffs but I love their first 2 albums in their entirety. I can listen to them from start to finish any day! And Vampires song is just amazing. Thanks for watching!
Awesome list! I love all their albums about equally, but my favorite material is their post-Black Parade stuff (Conventional Weapons, Danger Days, Mad Gear, and Fake Your Death) for the most part, but I have to admit that the riffage is way more memorable for the first two records! I LOVE Sorrows, but for me, I personally prefer the intro to Halos! Also super glad to see BMIB get it's shine
Thanks man! Tbh all their stuff is super good. However, the first two albums were the reason I got into play guitar! I think that's why I picked riffs from those two albums haha. But, yeah, all their stuff is amazing. I'm waiting for a new album now that they got back together! Thanks for watching!
@@CarloFenrir You're welcome! Yeah, same! I'm really excited for what comes next. I forgot to mention that TFOD also has to be one of my favorites (and Mikey said it's his favorite MCR song. Usually artists hype up the new stuff just because it's new, but I definitely take the MCR guys at their word). Really wondering if it'll be a concept record again, or they'll what they tried to do with CW and just do a normal album
I did a little research and found out they used some marshalls in that album so I tried to replicate it haha. I really like how it sounds, however it's not super accurate. Thanks for watching!
Somehow I managed to never listen to Thank You For The Venom when I went through my initial phase of listening to MCR. Coming back and listening to that song for the first time instantly made me pick up my guitar and start trying to learn it lmao. Subjectively I'd probably have songs like This Is How I Disappear and I Never Told You What I Do For A Living in my list but tbh thats cause I'm not as familiar with their first album. Personal preference aside, awesome video! I've gotta go give I Brought You My Bullets a full listen at some point here.
Yeah, it happens because a lot of people focus on the more mainstream songs, and other less known songs sometimes get overlooked. But the riff in Venom is just nuts! I love it. You should listen to their first album, it's pretty good, it has a different vibe but I really like it. However, these riffs I chose are my favourite riffs but I love their first 2 albums in their entirety. For example Cemetery Drive is a song I can listen again and again. Thanks for watching!
The moment I read the title I was 100% sure thank you for the venom is going to be #1. First time I listened to the song I said to myself "this is the most metal riff I think they're ever composed" and well I was right haha
You made me laugh so hard haha! It is really a great intro and riff! I still remember the first time I listened to it, it was life changing. Thanks for watching!
Those are great songs too! But To The End and Jetset have this spooky and dark vibe that really made me love more heavier music with a more dark atmosphere. Thanks for watching!
I don't dislike it but idk it never clicked for me. I like some songs off of it, but I don't think I've ever listened to them like more than 3 times. 3cheers and I brought you my bullets have been on repeat since I was very young. But maybe it's because my taste in music became heavier and they went the other way with The Black Parade. Thanks for watching!
Frank coming from a punk/HC background and Ray coming from a metal background, I think it gives them this style thats unique to the band while also being very accessible and enjoyable on the ears, while also leaving space for and complimenting Gerards theatrical vocal style
Yeah, they created a really unique and cool sound. But I think the most impressive and cool thing is what you say about how well everything blends with Gerard vocals. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely! It's my favourite album by them, the vibe, the style, is just super cool. I think the songwriting and everything it's so well made, that sometimes people kind of overlook MCR guitar work. But that's really cool tho, cause the songs are perfectly made. Thanks for watching!
I started listening to them because of peer influence, when emo was a thing. Now, as a musician, I appreciate and can highly praise their guitar work everytime. Frank and Rey are geniuses on making countermelody guitar lines.
I listened to them before the emo thing became so big. But I always loved them, and still. Even tho I listen to death metal and super heavy music🤣. And yes, their guitar work is just top notch! Thanks for watching!
I knew about this band since I was a kid but didn't ACTUALLY get into them until the 10th anniversary of The Black Parade. Since then, I've kinda realized that out of all their contemporaries, they're by far the closest to being a legitimate, traditional rock band (well, without the sex and drugs). Compared to Fall Out Boy, Panic!, All-American Rejects, and more of that scene, MCR legitimately rocked the hardest out of all of them. I'll always respect them for that.
For me they're super special because they are the reason I decided to be a musician. And I agree, I think of all those bands they stayed true to their style. Besides they introduced me to metal music! They have a lot of heavy metal influence in their songs and playing. Thanks for watching!
I knew already that Venom would be #1, and I was definitely more curious to see what the other picks would be. Great playing as well! Also I’ve seen in some replies that you love Bullets and Three Cheers, but I’m interested to hear what you think about The Black Parade and Danger Days if you’ve listened (and also Conventional Weapons)
the list's ingretiends are really original. Usually people preparing classic lists. Black parade, im not ok ... but yours... chosen good rifs, I loved it
thank you for the venom was the first mcr song i started practicing and most likely my no. 1 favorite mcr song so im glad you ranked that as your no. 1 too lmao, legendary video
This is why I laugh when ppl back in the day used to write MCR off, I’m like dude this just tells me you’ve never actually taken the time to listen to their material. I would also add sorrows and the drop in This is How I Disappear
Yup, their musical work is top notch! Sometimes people just like to hate on some bands. I mean music is subjective, if you don't like it, move on. We have like thousands of music genres. Why bother. Thanks for watching!
There's a lot going on but it's amazing how they mixed their influences and their style so well! And yes, I think they said that Iron Maiden was one of their influences. Thanks for watching!
In fact, the song was on my list but To The End has this spooky goth vibe that I love! To be honest, I like those 2 albums in their entirety and was tough to choose the riffs. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
And it can actually be... A7X was formed before MCR. But yeah, it sounds very Metalcore-ish, wish they've had release a studio version. They still can, but I don't think they will, sadly.
It's funny because that song is somewhat like "I'm Not Ok". They don't have a solid riff IMO (but they have a strong melody tho), but I really like those songs. In fact I love 3 cheers in its entirety. I think I'll be listening to it until I die.
@@Archer.zip0 Man, Mama is one of my favourite songs by them! However, the guitar riffs weren't that appealing to me as a metal musician. Besides, The Black Parade came out when I was already into metal music and it wasn't a big influence as the first 2 albums. But both songs you mentioned are super cool. And yeah, I should've put Mama at least as an honorable mention. Or maybe I should do a 2nd part idk haha. Thanks for watching!
i miss them. everything about revenge is amazing. that album is what makes mcr, mcr to me - their whole soul is in it and it shows with all those sick riffs!! can't get venom anywhere else! ray toro and frank iero the legends you are!!!!
That's very true. I think that's their best album. Hope we get a new album with some 3CfSR vibes! But at this point idk if they are doing a new album... Thanks for watching!
I agree, I mean they are super famous, but I do think that their guitar work and skills are kinda ignored. However, idk if it's a bad thing, people are really paying attention to what it's important, their music as a whole.
Apparently they were listening to a bunch of At The Gates' "Slaughter Of The Soul" during the writing and recording of "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" which explains a LOT of the early riffage
Oh, now I remember watching that interview. Of course! And it makes a lot of sense because Metalcore is, at some extent, practically Melodic Death Metal with clean vocals and different lyric topics. Hope you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
IMO they don't sound emo as a band. I think it's just their band image. Emo were more like From First to Last, Underoath, Asking Alexandria, etc. Thanks for watching!
@@CarloFenrir hopefully we get a full album. Paper Kingdom would be sick. Gotta be a story behind Foundations of decay besides the obvious. What a great song tho.
Haha I wouldn't say they're trash I like black parade and some songs in Danger Days. However, by the time Black Parade was out, I was already in love with metal music in general. So Black Parade and Danger Days were too light for me at the time and I didn't give them any attention at all. Thanks for watching!
listening to these riffs on their own, I would think MCR was a metalcore band
Absolutely! They have a lot of interesting things going on! Really cool guitar work!
omg mcr is totally an abbreviation for metalcore
@@CarloFenrir agreed, ray toro is one of if not my favorite guitarist
Drop tune things a little bit and they would be. Ray Toro is a pimp on the geetar
they're a rock band, and Ik they aren't the same but they have a similar vibe to them, they can easily be modified by tone and playing style alone to be one or the other lol
I know in my insides that "Thank you for the venom" was the first place...
Of course! My favourite riff of all their songs! Thanks for watching!
That’s what I thought!!!
EXACTLY I WAS HOPING TO GOD
nothing can really beat the outro (dual vocals part) to Vampires Will Never Hurt You for me... something about it
This are just my top riffs but I love their first 2 albums in their entirety. I can listen to them from start to finish any day! And Vampires song is just amazing. Thanks for watching!
I love Bury me in Black. I really wish we could get a finished version of it.
Right? I waited for it for years, but it never happened. Thanks for watching.
It is finished, it just wast left off the album
@@micaelmeneses3234is there a non-demo version?
As far as I know, there's just one version.
@@CarloFenrir that's what I thought too. I wouldve loved to hear a better produced version
They're a sick sick band and the guitar parts are always mesmerizing to me
Yup, their first 2 albums made me play the guitar and be a musician. Great band.
@@CarloFenrirsame bro same
thank you for the venom's riff is so acid
Ikr, and it's so fun to play. I still got chills when I listen to it.
thank you for the venom always just does it for me it's such a great song
Amazing song indeed! Thanks for watching!

Why did ytb recommend me this ONLY a year after ?? That selection's pretty cool, i share almost the same !
Hey! Have happended to me too! I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Give em hell kid easily has one of my favorite riffs out of their whole discography
Simple, yet powerful! It's crazy how simple the riff is but it's just super cool.
this tone makes them sound like early A7X lol. I dig it!
I did a little research and found out they used some marshalls in that album so I tried to replicate it haha. I really like how it sounds, however it's not super accurate. Thanks for watching!
@@CarloFenrir idk shit about tone so you're doing far better than I could've. Keep it up
Somehow I managed to never listen to Thank You For The Venom when I went through my initial phase of listening to MCR. Coming back and listening to that song for the first time instantly made me pick up my guitar and start trying to learn it lmao.

For sure! I think it's one of my favorite riffs of all time. Kind of Melodic death metal and metalcore. Thanks for watching!
yep, so agreed! give em hell kid is my absolute fav
That intro... Thanks for watching!
Happy that Bury Me in Black is here.
Great song. I wish they could've recorded a studio album version, not just the demo. But great song nonetheless. Thanks for watching!
give em hell kid riff makes me throw up every time i hear it (out of excitement) (bc it sounds so good)
You made me laugh so hard haha! It is really a great intro and riff! I still remember the first time I listened to it, it was life changing. Thanks for watching!
Loved it!
This Is The Best Video Ever !!!!!
Thanks for watching!
:3
I'm not even emo; I'm a metalhead, but some of these riffs are actually pretty nasty. Stank face approval!
@@mech8643 Sick guitar work! Thanks for watching.
Mcr is the perfect blend of metal and punk ❤
Ikr there's something about them... Hope they make a new album soon.
Great covers! Deathwish and Sister to Sleep would’ve made my list over To The End and Jetset. Thanks for posting!!
Those are great songs too! But To The End and Jetset have this spooky and dark vibe that really made me love more heavier music with a more dark atmosphere. Thanks for watching!
I'd say This is How I Disappear sounds a little influenced by metal as well, at least that was my first impression when I heard the song.
I agree! They have a lot of Heavy metal, Rock and Punk influences in their music. Thanks for watching!
I hope there’s full length versions lol
At least not from me :( but I'm planning to make the full cover of "Thank you for the Venom". Thanks for watching!
Amos a verloooos
Let me get my black eyeliner.
deathwish?
It's a great song but I don't think it has a riff that changed my life as the others did. Thanks for watching!
The Black Parade album is too overrated.
I don't dislike it but idk it never clicked for me. I like some songs off of it, but I don't think I've ever listened to them like more than 3 times. 3cheers and I brought you my bullets have been on repeat since I was very young.

everybody say "thank you ray toro!"
Ray and Frank! Thanks for watching!
yes! his guitar sounds are awesome
THANK YOU RAY TORO!!!!
THANK YOU RAY AND FRANK!!!!
But nobody says Thank you Frank Iero
Frank coming from a punk/HC background and Ray coming from a metal background, I think it gives them this style thats unique to the band while also being very accessible and enjoyable on the ears, while also leaving space for and complimenting Gerards theatrical vocal style
Yeah, they created a really unique and cool sound. But I think the most impressive and cool thing is what you say about how well everything blends with Gerard vocals. Thanks for watching!
i think Ray also has a classical background, you can hear it in the way their more counterpointy compositions.
I feel like you could just pick any 6 songs from three cheers and itd be valid. The guitar work on that album is unmatched
Absolutely! It's my favourite album by them, the vibe, the style, is just super cool. I think the songwriting and everything it's so well made, that sometimes people kind of overlook MCR guitar work. But that's really cool tho, cause the songs are perfectly made. Thanks for watching!

Hell yes! Thanks for watching!
thank you for the venom is (ironically) a religious experience
@lilenwasnothere6867 lifechanging song tbh haha
Where is honey this mirror isn’t the big enough for the two of us?
Love the song, I would put it in honorable mentions. Thanks for watching!

Also I’ve seen in some replies that you love Bullets and Three Cheers, but I’m interested to hear what you think about The Black Parade and Danger Days if you’ve listened (and also Conventional Weapons)

the list's ingretiends are really original.
Usually people preparing classic lists.
Black parade, im not ok ... but yours... chosen good rifs, I loved it
Yes! And to be honest, these are some of my favourite songs too. I like the popular ones but not that much. Thanks for watching!
thank you for the venom was the first mcr song i started practicing and most likely my no. 1 favorite mcr song so im glad you ranked that as your no. 1 too lmao, legendary video
From time to time I listen to three cheers album, and when thank you for the venom hits, I still get chills! Thanks for watching!
All some of my favorites
Mine too. I think that could be my top 6 haha. Consider subscribing if you liked the video! Thanks for watching!

Im not a big fan of 7 strings but now i want one that thing is gorgeous
They are a lot of fun! And thanks, that guitar is one of my favourites! You should try one. Thanks for watching!
You can really hear the iron maiden influence here
There's a lot going on but it's amazing how they mixed their influences and their style so well! And yes, I think they said that Iron Maiden was one of their influences. Thanks for watching!
All of these are just beautiful
I know! Ray's and Frank's guitar work is just outstanding!
My favorites songs are To the end and Give em hell so I like this video
To the End has a unique spooky vibe that I love. One of my favourite songs of all time. Thanks for watching man!
Would probably swap out To the End with Honey this Mirror but great choices my guy
In fact, the song was on my list but To The End has this spooky goth vibe that I love! To be honest, I like those 2 albums in their entirety and was tough to choose the riffs. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Bury Me In Black sounds like something out of a A7X song
And it can actually be... A7X was formed before MCR. But yeah, it sounds very Metalcore-ish, wish they've had release a studio version. They still can, but I don't think they will, sadly.
Famous last words

Frank Lero was a really big influence as a guitarist for me.
For me too. Well, the entire band haha. Thanks for watching!
fantastic selection. Also damn your tone and playing sound choiceeee

My top to are definitely to the end and give em hell kid
To the End has something about it that I absolutely love. Thanks for watching!
