    This is my top 6 riffs by MyChemical Romance. Why 6? because I think these are the very best off of their albums. Of course, I like all their music. Btw, this is my own opinion.
    This band is very special to me, because thanks to them I wanted to become a musician since I was kid. And, as weird as it sounds, they made me like heavier music. Yup, first some core and emo stuff, and then, that lead me to the love of my life, metal music.
    Making this video was actually pretty fun because I got to know what kind of gear they used at the time, tried to replicate their guitar tone and remembered how well done their songs are.
    00:00 - Riff 6
    00:17 - Riff 5
    00:44 - Riff 4
    01:12 - Riff 3
    01:37 - Riff 2
    02:10 - Riff 1

    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.

      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 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.

    • @CarloFenrir
      @CarloFenrir  Před 3 měsíci +1

      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!

  • @glizzgoblin
    @glizzgoblin Před 5 dny +2

    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

    • @CarloFenrir
      @CarloFenrir  Před 4 dny

      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!

    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

Usually artists hype up the new stuff just because it's new, but I definitely take the MCR guys at their word).

      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.
