Welcome to the Black Parade

What a hit.

Most recently, they did Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.

What are we in then? Yeah, I was literally like sobbing on my hot girl walk listening to it.

Like it's just incredible.

Uh, the, both the 13-year-old and the five-year-old guessed correctly which song that was this morning, because the expansion was called The Rise of the Black Empire.

Now, "The Rise of," syllable-wise, is the same as "Welcome to," and "Black" is "Black," and "Empire" is the same syllable-wise as "Parade." So I've had Welcome to the Black Parade in my head since Sunday.

Uh, it's a song that we have playing in our house often.

Um, my wife, uh, like, I'm very metal.

I very, very much like metal, and other stuff sometimes, but I like metal.

My wife is more, uh, w- pop music, I would say, but also alt rock, but it verges on pop punk at times.

Uh, and so she'll have playlists, uh, that she plays in the car, which includes Welcome to the Black Parade.

And I remember the first time I heard it in our car, I was like, "Huh." It's a cool song.

Mama is a good song.

Actually, the album itself, Welcome to the Black Parade, probably the first several songs is a good listen if you just listen to it straight through.

I don't know the names of all of them.

But there's a good, it's a good, Mama and Welcome to the Black Brain are probably my favorite songs, with Mama probably being my more favorite song on there.

It was incredible.

Incredible performance.

When I get there, you know, again, this was the Welcome to the Black Parade, I don't know, tour.

So this was like, I think they played most of the songs off the album, which, again, it's not my favorite album, but they do have bangers on there.

...

I'm about to join the Black Parade, dude.

[laughs]

We, we're here for it.

So 2006 was a very

formative year for, uh, emo music there are several contenders that I sorted through but I think for my first top suggestion I have to say it's going to be My Chemical Romance who released Welcome to the Black Parade and irrevocably changed every teenager's life forever so like I mean I owned a striped band leader jacket for no apparent reason it did not fit well and did not look good on me I had a lot of friends just start getting into it, really into eyeliner around then.

So it impacted the fashion.

It impacted the music.

Oh.

Welcome to the Black Parade, is it called? Yeah, My Chemical Romance.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is that the most simple chord to play? It starts in the G note, I know that.
