| 2 | * "[[https://youtu.be/ZhdA94K1Pfk Unfortunately]], My Chemical Romance will not be able to perform this evening, due to unforeseen circumstances. They have expressed their deepest apologies. In their absence, they have asked their good friends to fill in for them." Except those good friends turn out to be MCR in full military gear, debuting the final versions of "The End." and "Dead!" back to back to a fucking MENTAL crowd of screaming fans. |
| 3 | -->'''Gerard''': LET ME HEAR YOU SCREAM, LONDON! WE ARE [[Music/TheBlackParade THE BLACK PARADE]]! |
| 4 | ** The moment when the switcheroo's success really hits home is when Ray's blistering guitar solo ends, gets greeted with a cacophony of screams assuming the song is done... and then Gerard brings it home with the final "LA-LA-LA" section, and the song comes to its true end with even BIGGER screams. |
| 5 | * The band openly acknowledges Music/{{Queen|Band}} as one of their biggest influences, which led to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H5DOV4Db3k this gem]] at the Reading Festival in 2011 in which they performed "We Will Rock You" and "Welcome to the Black Parade". |
| 6 | -->'''Gerard''': Ladies and Gentlemen, [[Music/BrianMay Brian fucking May!]] |
| 7 | * Winning over the rowdy crowd at their first appearance at Reading Festival in 2006, despite having bottles initially tossed at them. Bonus points for Gerard taunting the hecklers with mocking gestures and call-outs. |
| 8 | %% * Their performance atop the Rockefeller Center also qualifies. |
| 9 | * Any time Gerard speaks about things he deeply believes in - you can hear the conviction and the fire in his voice as he protests against the objectification of women or asks people to not consider suicide as the only option. |
| 10 | * The fact that the band members have been through hell and back together and are still best friends after all this time. |
| 11 | * Frank played a series of shows when he was seriously ill attached to an ''oxygen tank.'' Talk about dedication! |
| 12 | * On October 31, 2019: The band announced a reunion concert for December 20. On the very next day, [[https://www.nme.com/news/music/fans-react-chemical-romance-reunion-show-sells-minutes-2563843 the concert sold out in FOUR MINUTES.]] |
| 13 | ** Sweet lord, ''the buildup to the curtain fall.'' Starting with the intro to ''I Brought You My Bullets'', playing "Look Alive, Sunshine", segueing into the string intro to "The Light Behind Your Eyes" and Liza Minelli's cameo on "Mama", cutting into "Interlude", ghost noises, the talk at the end of "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" and the flatlining heart monitor from "Dead!", then, finally, the distorted blast from "Goodnite Dr Death" as the stage lights up behind the curtain. Cue: "You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini and croquet..." |
