But the band has revealed that arguably its most famous song was almost never heard…

When it came to producing their third studio album, MCR almost cut the signature track after lead singer Gerard Way revealed that he struggled to connect to it personally. 

“Any time it kind of got brought up, especially by my AR, Craig Aaronson, I would just kind of shoo him away about it and be like, ‘Yeah, that song’s about nothing. I’m not interested in that one,’” he told Apple Music 1 host, Travis Mills. 

Way explained that although the band liked the song, it wasn’t feeling right. Until they came at it from a different perspective. 

“We didn’t want to just give up on the song, so then I started to bring the concept into the musical side of things and we started breaking the song and reconstructing it,” explained Way. 

The process led to the songwriter creating the song’s famous opening melody. “Once we re-approached it from the perspective of starting with a completely new introduction and a new way to start the song, it helped us fix the rest of it.”

“Welcome to the Black Parade” was eventually released as the lead single from The Black Parade and we’re all richer for it.

MCR announced that it is set to embark on a reunion tour this fall. The eighteen date tour will kick off September 9 in Detroit, Michigan and will close October 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

The band announced via a video that premiered Wednesday. The clip directed by Kris Mercado and featuring music composed by guitarist Ray Toro and keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac shows a young man playing with a ouija board. What he summons is a realm filled with allusions and imagery from My Chemical Romance’s history and discography.

The band who disbanded in 2013 got together for a reunion show that took place in December in Los Angeles. The tour will be their first in nine years.

The members of MCR broke the internet after telling the world they’ll team up to perform alongside each other in Los Angeles on December 20th. Tickets for their reunion show sold out in a matter of minutes, and many of their fans were heartbroken after failing to buy tickets in time.

Fortunately, it took only a couple of days for My Chemical Romance to announce another three dates. They’ll be heading to Australia, Japan, and New Zealand next year, and this announcement gives us hope there are more concert dates to come.

My Chemical Romance announced their break-up in 2013, and their fans have been patiently waiting for them to reunite ever since. That moment is finally here.

The band thanked their fans for the warm welcome they received in a heartwarming Instagram post.
