This song was Gerard and Mikey’s farewell to their grandmother, Elena.

MCR "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"

When MCR first started out, the band rehearsed at his grandmother's home... Just one of many reasons why his grandmother was so important to him.

The last "If you carry on this way" during the pallbearer scene is still one of the hardest-hitting vocals I've ever heard.

My chemical romance famous last words is a dope ass song

Definitely need to react to “Ghost of You” and “I’m not okay, I promise”. That whole album is great~

"I'm Not Okay" is a bop. The video is pretty dang fun, too. I'd suggest that one next, though all of their videos are worth checking out.

My heart breaks at the end when Gerard looks like he's crying while he sings 🙁💔 just want to hug him.

"I'm not okay (I promise)" & "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance

"Famous last words" "i dont love you" "teenagers" "mama" "im not okay" do them all!

I love how reactioners are only now discovering the secret to unlocking the MCR fandom. Haha! Level upgrade. This band always brings the views because their fans are an entire army that just keeps growing even after their break up. And now that they're back, the fandom is bigger and stronger than they ever were.

This song makes me sob uncontrollably for a few reasons, especially today. Today is the four year anniversary of my brother's ex girlfriends death. They had a child together and never married, but I still considered my sister in law. Her name just so happened to be Helena. When I heard this song a couple of weeks after I found out she was dead, I had to stop half way through the song and cry until I fell asleep. Every year on this day I listen to this song, and take a couple minutes to think about the good times we had. I love this song so much, but anytime I hear it I cry.

you've gotta check out "Famous Last Words" and "The Ghost of You" by MCR. here's a few more songs by My Chemical Romance that are definitely worth giving a listen: - I Never Told You What I Do for a Living - Mama - Thank You for the Venom - Sleep - I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Please React to "I'm Not Okay", "Teenagers" & "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance.

It’s crazy to see his face when he realizes how special these guys are.... and to think I was doing the SAME thing when I watched this on MTVs count down at the age of 15 lol

Little late to the party here, but I'm sure you've heard the standard narrative at this point - this song was a tribute of sorts to Gerard and Mikey's then-late grandmother, Elena Lee Rush. She (from what I've heard) used to turn up to their very early shows, and when she passed they felt the urge to write a song dedicated to her. Here we are now, two decades later, and the show of her casket being carried down the steps and Gerard looking into the back of the hearse at the end still kills me in the best possible way

you should check out "famous last words" and "i'm not okay" by MCR

Please do “famous last words” by them

Those are exactly the feelings that I felt when my mother passed away, especially why I could not be with her in her last moments on this earthly plane. But there is another song that makes me see that event in a more obtimistic way. That song is Rose Of Sharyn from the band killswitch Engage, if you are not reacting to that song I recommend it 100% She is the one that appears in my profile photo.

I like the fact that most of his "heavy metal" reactions are actually music from just straight up late 90s or early 2000s, brings back so many good memories

"Ghost Of You" by My Chemical Romance gets me. The video is something else.

MCR ( House of wolves - Mama - The sharpest lives - Dead - Famous last words ) u know what ? do the whole album

This song is so powerful for me because it's definitely one of my favourite songs and also my Mother's name. She is still here but it always invokes strong emotions in me knowing that she won't be here one day and knowing the meaning behind this masterpiece of a song...

Give it up to that drummer. He KILLED it man. This is well done...I felt that way on my mom's last yr. She battled stage 4 pancreatic cancer only 58. I hate myself for not doing more.

This definitely hits me in the nostalgia, and "The Ghost of You" is a must listen, especially with the video

Some more MCR songs to check out: Dead! The Sharpest Lives This Is How I Dissappear Mama Thank You For The Venom The End. (If you do this one you have to do Dead! too) I'm not okay (I promise) Cancer Ghost of You Edit: Hell yeah Alex is becoming an emo boi

The Ghost of You gives me goosebumps to this day.

The choreography is what REALLY kills me about these music videos. It’s SO GOOD! Like the dancing with the umbrellas? SO GOOD!

Definitely for MCR, check out Famous Last Words or Ghost of You

You should do Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance

Alex, sense you are on this style of music I have some recommendations. Anberlin- The Haunting Emery-Ponytail parade Atreyu-Ex's and Oh's Taking back Sunday- Make damn sure Haste the day- When everything falls Hawthorne Heights-Ohio is for lovers Red jumpsuit apparatus-Your guardian angel Thursday Underoth New found glory Just a few so far🙂

While I can't imagine someone not being familiar with MCR as they have been my favorite band since my spooky emo kid days, I love seeing the joy of someone discovering them for the first time. Many of their songs still give me chills after all these years. I highly recommend checking out their songs "Cancer" and "I Don't Love You."

"Ghost of You" is easily my favorite MCR song

MCR- famous last words, I'm not okay, and NANANANANANA

Holy shit your commentary at the end hit me hard. Made me cry. It’s my late grandmas bday. Just lost her 2 yrs ago. I still cry spontaneously but can usually gather myself quickly. You had me balling in my kitchen on a Sunday morning while I’m cleaning. This 33 yr old grown ass women couldn’t keep it together. 😭

Love this song. Love the reaction. God I wish I could get that feeling of discovering these songs all over again

“Ghost of you” is very emotional. And Gerard way has belts passion in that song.

More MCR songs for you: -Famous Last Words -The End/Dead! -Sleep -Cancer -The Sharpest Lives -This is how I disappear -House of Wolves

3:24 best reaction so far 😂

I love this reaction!!! I love how you didn’t stop the song every single second and actually took the time to look up the meaning of the song afterwards. Thanks for this! 🖤 If you react to more MCR definitely react to the entire Black Parade album!

Man, try The Ghost of you, I'm not okay or famous last words next

Should have done “the ghost of you” Or “sleep” or “famous last words”

u have to listen to "l'm not okay" (the song that made me fall in love with MCR cuz it was the first song l heard from this band)

I Don't Love You -MCR emotional song too and Gerard killed it.

Do yourself a favor and listen to “The Black Parade” in order in its entirety

YOU HAVE TO REACT TO: "THE GHOST OF YOU" "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" "DESOLATION ROW"

so glad you collaborated with Nik, I’m on a roll with your videos now 🖤🙏🏻

“Ghost of You” and “I’m not okay, I promise” they are a must

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill Silverstein - Smile in Your Sleep The Used - The Taste of Ink Loving the emo classic reactions!! 🤘🏼

The song is about how his grandma died and he wasn’t able to see her in her final moments and he regrets not being there with her. His grandma’s name was Helen, so it was an easy change to Helena. You should do The Sharpest Lives next. Glad you’re finally getting around to MCR!

Dude, you're awesome. Just found your channel as a massive My Chemical Romance fan since my teen years. Your statement at the end showed just how much of a straight up and kind guy that you are. Keep it up, subscribed!

You NEED to react to the whole Black Parade album like you did with Linkin Park. The album is phenomenal

Do My Chemical Romance "I'm not Okay" and "The Ghost of You"

Doing a video about my second favorite band on my birthday? Awww, that's sweet of you!

My Papa died in 05, this song came out in 04. I was 12 and lost the person I was closest with and I became hopelessly depressed & suicidal. I still miss him & still struggle with depression but I'm still here & songs like this were huge coping mechanisms.

One of my favorites!! Gotta check out “I’m not okay” or “Teenagers” by them!

When I heard this song I was 14 years old and it was my first from them, I didn't understand the lyrics but I know that it make me cry and also so exited. I remember that I was so fascinated with the whole scenario and his voice and the goups, that I was a fan inmediatly the song ended and to this day they are my favorite.
