Seeing Geoff express how he basically helped MCR become what they are now, and how he even influenced Frank to join them, it’s just magical and put a HUGE smile on my elder-emo face.
@@ishajac3637 ⚡️⚡️word. And that’s all I’ve ever aspired to be as well, a mini tornado 🌪️ 🖤 (Siri suggested potato and both are true and worth mentioning)
Totally agree. I also love The Sharpest Lives and Mama. Obviously the whole album is a masterpiece, but these 3 songs are the highlights of the album for me.
The Ghost of You is just a fucking classic. I really wish it got a lot more love. Best non single for ME is To the End. Fuckin love that discordant beginning and its just a ball of energy.
I discovered them via im not ok & helena but it was ghost of you that really cemented them for me as a band I love. If it wasnt for that song, im not sure I wouldve gone as hard on TBP as I did.
The Ghost of You is the first my chem song that got me into the band, the next song after that was cancer. That same day I bought their greatest hits and Black Parade albums and just fell in love.
Pretty funny to hear Geoff talk about how their very first songs were not that good and more in the vein of NOFX... What a difference a few years and a Frank Iero can make.
The Foundations of Decay is a masterpiece, but The Ghost of You has spoken to me for 20 years. Black Parade is the emo anthem of the last 20 years and Famous Last Words is disgustingly good. They truly are one of the greatest bands to exist.
No one gives their first album as much credit as it deserves. The first 2 will always be their best IMO. I like the other stuff but I keep going back to those.
Sleep and Disenchanted is so fucking memorable for me, they were like living in my head, touch my heart, I can feel the song in the air and the words they say, it just incredible. Obviously their whole discography is amazing, I almost can’t choose, but I’d say the answers they all saying, and this. It’s not a fashion statement it’s a deathwish, I never told you what I do for a living, party poison, demolition lovers. Ghost of you. Oh boy. It just a hard question to answer if you have so many great picks you can’t really choose one. Listening to every single words, every single notes, every single second, shut your mind and just listen, it’s like the feeling of ecstasy. 😂
It's a great one with a great message that stuck with me more than Black Parade because of being disabled my whole life and just being bullied for it outside my family and few friends I had.
I'm glad at least SOMEBODY said The Ghost of You... That would probably be my answer too.. Just such a deep song and really hits home as I was in a pretty dark place when 3 Cheers came out having just lost my mother not too long before... Hang 'em High would be up there too, Thank You For The Venom, just such an amazing album.. I think it stayed in my car's cd player for about a year.. I actually even bought a second copy so I could have one in my car and one in my multi-disk cd changer at the house, lol.
@@IxQuit dude same. I used to listen to the bridge in the ghost of you into Jetset to tune the world out as a teen. That album resonated so deeply that it’s in all our cells and bone marrow by now and that’s magical 🖤💔🐦⬛
Bullets: Early Sunsets Over Monroeville Three Cheers: Thank You for the Venom/I Never Told You What I Do for a Living Black Parade: The End./Mama Danger Days: Destroya
Famous Last Words is my favorite for sure, but I also like Prison, Mama, Foundations Of Decay, Vampire Money, Sleep, Demolition Lovers, and Na Na Na. I honestly think MCR is one of the few artists I listen to that I believe has no bad songs.
These answers are very, "tell me you don't really know their discography w/o saying you don't know their discography." My pick is, "It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish," for the record Your Honor.
Yep Mine is for the banger Sleep And for the ballad The light behind your eyes. I was blessed to be able to see them for the first time after their reunion and I would have given an eye tooth to hear them play The light behind your eyes. To my knowledge they've never played that on stage. Bummer. But if I'm wrong someone add a link if I can see it! Ironically, the show I went to they didn't play Sleep either so I was a tad crestfallen. But just a tad. 😊 Me seeing them live was literally number 2 on my Bucket List. 😂 O so blessed!
For me ''to the end'' have everything. Crazy guitars, crazy bridges, crazy solo and what Gerard does in the song is perfect, one of his best lyrics. One punch to the end.
It’s crazy with really good bands you find yourself discovering new favorites.. my favorites right now are Demolition Lovers and It’s not a fashion statement it’s a deathwish
having had a my chem fan account on instagram back in 2013 and growing up in gerard, mikey, and frank’s hometown (unsure about bob and ray) it is so special to me to see them coming back and performing and receiving so much love from all these other bands. feeling especially emo rn 🖤❤️🖤
Sing was the very first song I was introduced to thanks to getting ready for school in the morning and turning on VH1 and MTV and them playing music videos early as frick in the morning. Had me in fcking tears loved it since. I didn't grow up on MCR sadly but I'm grateful to have been able listen to their music obsessively in my pre-teen to majorly in my teen years and to this day I love and listen to their music so much even my daughter likes it.
I fucking love this host/interviewer, man. If you could bottle up his enthusiasm and energy, I think most people would buy it. Clearly he is a true fan and a pleasure to talk to. I love watching his interviews.
So weird seeing this pop up in my feed randomly, I've been listening to Three Cheers and Black Parade on repeat the last few weeks and I still know every word to every song on both albums, I love them all lol. I'm Not Okay was such an an anthem though, probably still my favorite.
He meant it as coming from a peer. Like how as a teenager when talking about another teenager you might say “man, that kids crazy!”. That’s the context he meant it in.
Yeah, but he's talking from their perspective of a new band that was looking for guidance. Geoff is literally younger, haha, but by the time MCR was going to record their first record, Thursday already had 2 albums, tours, and a label to their name.
I love Hang ‘Em High, I’m not in love with the chorus as it’s repeated too much but the verses are front loaded to the front of the song, I love the spaghetti western opening and love the end. The chorus definitely is weak though. Really like Kiss the Ring, My way home is through you, and Vampire Money. Have to also shout out the bridge in Jetset life “slip into the tragedy you’ve spun this chamber dry” is epic.
I would have answered vampires will never hurt you as well Geoff.. that is so beautiful hearing Thursday represent and be apart of that history and later that growth
I'm sorry everyone "Heaven Help Us" and "Thank You for the Venom" are the correct answer, we would've also accepted "Foundations of Decay" or "My Way Home is Through You." Desolation Row is a cover but it's a good pick enough to make it as well.
Bullets: Drowning Lessons Three Cheers: Jetset/Deathwish Black Parade: Dead!/Mama/Famous Last Words haven't listened to danger days yet but as for Conventional Weapons: Boy Division
My bands that I listen to with their Helenas and then there's Mayday Parade with my actual answer to this question 😅 Did not expect for someone to mention Save Yourself, but here we are 🙏🏻
It hurts feeling it all in the past. Peak adolescence: emotive hardcore and pop punk. Except I am still doing it. Shout out to all the 2015-2020s+ pop punk and hardcore groups!! _”It’s Not a Fashion Statement - It’s a Death Wish!”_
Bullets: Skylines and Early Sunsets 3 Cheers: Thank You for the Venom and Cemetery Drive TBP: Welcome to the Black Parade and Famous Last Words Killjoys: s/c/a/r/e/c/r/o/w and Planetary(Go)
Gotta have one for each album. Theres never just one out of all of them. For me its Bullets: Demolition Lovers or Drowning Lessons Revenge: tie between Fashion Statement and Helena TBP: Famous Last Words Danger Days: Planetary GO!
So many certified bangers but I always go back to vampires, or cemetery drive. I'm not okay. Really 2nd and 3rd album they're all just amazing top tier
Anthony is such a real one for picking Foundations of Decay
Real
100%
dude anthony green is such a cool guy, got some cool ass photos of him at the masquerade in atlanta for the saosin 20th anniversary tour
It must feel good for MCR to have all of their peers love and respect their music. They’re legends for a reason
Their Desolation Row cover might one of the best covers in rock history
yes
YES🔥
YES!
compared to the original, its ass but thats why i love it cause my father was so mad when he heard it
TRUEEE
Seeing Geoff express how he basically helped MCR become what they are now, and how he even influenced Frank to join them, it’s just magical and put a HUGE smile on my elder-emo face.
Same dude. I got butterflies.
To hear Gerard tell it, he saw Frank in Pency Prep and said they needed a force like Frank because he was like a mini tornado. 😅
@@ishajac3637 ⚡️⚡️word. And that’s all I’ve ever aspired to be as well, a mini tornado 🌪️ 🖤 (Siri suggested potato and both are true and worth mentioning)
I'm so glad someone picked Thank You For The Venom.
literally same bc it's my favorite 😭
A great one. Close to being my top for sure.
THIS IS HOW I DISAPPEAR!!!
Their most underrated song. Listen to that bridge/breakdown one more time and tell me you don't get hyped...
one of my favourite bridges ever! it's insane. never heard anything like it before or since
Totally agree. I also love The Sharpest Lives and Mama. Obviously the whole album is a masterpiece, but these 3 songs are the highlights of the album for me.
Real
agree
@@ZiggyValentine Sharpest Lives is incredible. I also love Dead!
"Mama" holds such a special place in my heart cuz it was the first MCR song I ever heard
That song rearranged my neurons and now I’m addicted to this band
The Ghost of You is just a fucking classic. I really wish it got a lot more love.
Best non single for ME is To the End. Fuckin love that discordant beginning and its just a ball of energy.
I discovered them via im not ok & helena but it was ghost of you that really cemented them for me as a band I love. If it wasnt for that song, im not sure I wouldve gone as hard on TBP as I did.
YES! To The End is absolutely 10/10. Congrats on having impeccable taste, my friend.
The Ghost of You is the first my chem song that got me into the band, the next song after that was cancer. That same day I bought their greatest hits and Black Parade albums and just fell in love.
The ghost of you is just so beautiful, the music video is on another level too it's very well done!
idk if it's just me but "to the end" has a post-punk cadence that i really dig and feel like dancing to
I go back and forth between Cemetery Drive and Famous Last Words
Both are SO GOOD
Pretty funny to hear Geoff talk about how their very first songs were not that good and more in the vein of NOFX... What a difference a few years and a Frank Iero can make.
And a frank Iero LOL
Frank is such a character.. 😭
Hearing that last one from Thursday is so important. Incredible insight.
The Foundations of Decay is a masterpiece, but The Ghost of You has spoken to me for 20 years. Black Parade is the emo anthem of the last 20 years and Famous Last Words is disgustingly good. They truly are one of the greatest bands to exist.
Fashion statement for me
Tied with that and Thank You For The Venom
It's not a banger, it's a head banger.
Mine too. We are so alike
this is the correct answer
Mine too!! It’s such an epic, sweeping song!
6:16 the title of that song is Save yourself, i'll hold them back
Gabe Saporta (Cobra Starship) with the correct answer: Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us.
No one gives their first album as much credit as it deserves. The first 2 will always be their best IMO. I like the other stuff but I keep going back to those.
I was literally praying someone would surprise me with Headfirst for Halos or Our Lady of Sorrow. Alas...
I still wish they were are as raw and had that metalcore and horror punk influence that they had
tHANK you FORR tHE venoMMM
“I Don’t Love You” is a great one. A shift in genre perhaps because it’s a ballad of sorts. But damn. It’s solid.
That’s my favorite MCR song!
Sleep and Disenchanted is so fucking memorable for me, they were like living in my head, touch my heart, I can feel the song in the air and the words they say, it just incredible. Obviously their whole discography is amazing, I almost can’t choose, but I’d say the answers they all saying, and this.

Famous Last Words is my fav
W
It's a great one with a great message that stuck with me more than Black Parade because of being disabled my whole life and just being bullied for it outside my family and few friends I had.
@@NoOneReallySpecialI have chronic pain so I feel that 100%
Geoff bringing a smile to every bullets lover’s face
@@Jake_Jones and making them a lil bit less dead inside lol🖤❤️🩹
It makes sense that Pierre would pick I'm Not Okay. It's like a more angsty yet sassy version of Welcome To My Life. XD
I saw Thursday open for MCR in Detroit 2022 it was absolutely incredible I love the relationship Thursday have with My Chem 😊🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻
Me too, I'll never forget that show.
I had just been thinking that no one would choose Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back when Derek started singing it. So happy to have been wrong!
Bullets: Demolition Lovers
3 Cheers: Fashion Statement
Black Parade: The Sharpest Lives
Danger Days: Vampire Money
all my love and respect for geoff, bullets is special ♡

I like that song too
"Drowning Lessons" is mine. That song never gets stale.
underrated for real
Oh god I love that one too. There's so many good ones.
The best song ever
I'm going to go with Famous Last Words but my favorite changes regularly. They have so many good ones
Vampires Will Never Hurt You and Sleep
W fr
Yay! Recognition for Sleep.
YESS VAMPIRES
Bullets: Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
Three Cheers: Thank You for the Venom/I Never Told You What I Do for a Living
Black Parade: The End./Mama

I Love Early Sunsets!!!
@kiwi659 I don't listen to Bullets very often and that's the only one I can remember lol
Famous Last Words is my favorite for sure, but I also like Prison, Mama, Foundations Of Decay, Vampire Money, Sleep, Demolition Lovers, and Na Na Na. I honestly think MCR is one of the few artists I listen to that I believe has no bad songs.
Except Teenagers. That song blows.

100% I’m so disappointed in all of their answers. Mine is cemetery drive, disenchanted, bulletproof heart and heaven help us
Yep
Mine is for the banger Sleep
And for the ballad The light behind your eyes.
I was blessed to be able to see them for the first time after their reunion and I would have given an eye tooth to hear them play The light behind your eyes. To my knowledge they've never played that on stage. Bummer. But if I'm wrong someone add a link if I can see it!

Me seeing them live was literally number 2 on my Bucket List. 😂
O so blessed!
@@ishajac3637yes!!! Light behind your eyes is so underrated and a beautiful song too, was also hoping they would've played it on tour!
House of Wolves is so enjoyable to play and listening to!
It's so tough to pick because I love all of them but it's not a fashion statement, it's a death wish holds a very special place in my heart
BURY ME IN BLACK
gabe saporta always knows!!!!
he was still in midtown during bullets era, both were in new jersey, i think of this time often
For me ''to the end'' have everything. Crazy guitars, crazy bridges, crazy solo and what Gerard does in the song is perfect, one of his best lyrics. One punch to the end.
The BEST- Welcome To The Black Parade
My personal favorite though- The Sharpest Lives.
It’s crazy with really good bands you find yourself discovering new favorites.. my favorites right now are Demolition Lovers and It’s not a fashion statement it’s a deathwish
Anthony gave the best most fanish most centered and knowing answer. I love him for saying Foundations. It is a top 5 easily.
b: vampires
rev: deathwish
tbp: mama/sleep (i can't choose 1 srry)
dd: only hope (bonus: zero percent)
cw: boy division
decay: decay
I wouldn't know what else to choose for Decay lol
Real as fuck for picking sleep
Demolition Lovers
I'm Not Okay
Famous Last Words
Bulletproof Heart
The World is Ugly
@@megano2000 🤣🤣😭😭

This video is very special. Shows you just how insanely MASSIVE mcr is. Good God. Loved this.
Top three will always be
1.sleep
2.its not a fashion statement
3.summertime
Also favorite songs from each major project 🖤
6:16 OH MY GOD HES SO RIGHT SAVE YOURSELF IS AMAZING
I was waiting for someone to come out with Thank you for the venom
Vampires will never hurt you, is what started me on MCR!
foundations, desolation cover, and our lady of sorrows🥰
Sing was the very first song I was introduced to thanks to getting ready for school in the morning and turning on VH1 and MTV and them playing music videos early as frick in the morning.

i love geoff’s answer, live laugh love thursday 🫶🏼
Drowning Lessons
that outro is so good, wish it lasted longer
Ghost of you. 🖤
I fucking love this host/interviewer, man. If you could bottle up his enthusiasm and energy, I think most people would buy it. Clearly he is a true fan and a pleasure to talk to. I love watching his interviews.
glad to see Danger Days got some love. Not my favorite but I still really enjoyed that era.
I still rock vampires will never hurt you, I love that song so much
So weird seeing this pop up in my feed randomly, I've been listening to Three Cheers and Black Parade on repeat the last few weeks and I still know every word to every song on both albums, I love them all lol. I'm Not Okay was such an an anthem though, probably still my favorite.
I laughed when Geoff called them kids, I'm pretty sure Gerard Way is older than him hahaha
Yeah it was hilarious. Gerard and Ray is two years older than Geoff 😂
@@bluepinkman4785 Maybe the other band members were younger
He meant it as coming from a peer. Like how as a teenager when talking about another teenager you might say “man, that kids crazy!”. That’s the context he meant it in.
Yeah, but he's talking from their perspective of a new band that was looking for guidance. Geoff is literally younger, haha, but by the time MCR was going to record their first record, Thursday already had 2 albums, tours, and a label to their name.
Gabe and Geoff picking songs off of Bullets is so “these are my besties” coded.
Save yourself I’ll hold them back is so underrated. It’s nice to see it gain some recognition
3:45 That guy is so real
3:00 Anthony Green gets foundations of Decay !!!! He's the BEST BRO
"Cemetery drive". The last chorus always gives me the chills.
Headfirst for Halos has always been my favorite
Save Yourself I’ll Hold Them Back is my fave! So happy to hear it mentioned here lol
Demolition Lovers / I Never Told You / This Is How I Disappear
I love Hang ‘Em High, I’m not in love with the chorus as it’s repeated too much but the verses are front loaded to the front of the song, I love the spaghetti western opening and love the end. The chorus definitely is weak though.
Really like Kiss the Ring, My way home is through you, and Vampire Money.
Have to also shout out the bridge in Jetset life “slip into the tragedy you’ve spun this chamber dry” is epic.
I'm not even surprised that the only band that picked my personal favorite, The Ghost of You, is my favorite band
7:53 I didn't know Chunk from the Goonies was in Jimmy Eat World.
I would have answered vampires will never hurt you as well Geoff.. that is so beautiful hearing Thursday represent and be apart of that history and later that growth
Fashion statement is so underrated. I never told you what I did for a living, cemetery drive, the whole record is so amazing
Save yourself and I'll hold them back - danger days love!
bullets: early sunsets over monroeville
revenge: thank you for the venom
tbp: mama
dd: save yourself, ill hold them back
cw: gun. or boy division
I'm sorry everyone "Heaven Help Us" and "Thank You for the Venom" are the correct answer, we would've also accepted "Foundations of Decay" or "My Way Home is Through You." Desolation Row is a cover but it's a good pick enough to make it as well.
derek was so real for picking save yourself
Mayday was talking bout “Save Yourself,I’ll Hold Them Back”
Cant believe no one said Summertime. I think summertime is one of the best love songs ever written
I cannot believe how underrated ''ghost of you'' is, its my fav song :')
love for "Vampire Money"
Love Derek for picking Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back. It’s one of my all time favorites. Danger Days deserves so much more love.
Thank you for the venom and Save yourself got in there. Two of my favorites.
Song from mayday parade guy is save yourself i'll hold them back
My favorite songs from each album:
Bullets: demolition
Revenge: Helena or Prison
