Free Music Notes for The Black Parade Is Dead
Free Music Review: "The Black Parade is Dead!" is to My Chemical Romance what "Rock in Rio" is to Iron Maiden
Hit: 5 Stars
First off, MCR are number 5 on my favorite bands list, I have every album by them. The Black Parade is #4 on my top 10 albums of all time. I saw them on this tour (The Black Parade tour) and they were AWESOME, one of the best shows I've ever seen.
When I heard this was going to be released, I thought it was going to be just another attempt to milk the cow but I was WRONG- I bought it and watched it and it's AMAZING. It proves that these guys are one of the best live shows around. The CD is the Mexico City show, and the DVD has the same show, alongside the Hoboken show.
Let me review them:
CD: 10/10. They chose the best show of the 2 for the CD, lo and behold the Mexico City show. These guys put on an amazing and energy-filled performance. Gerard's live vocals are amazing, the band are tight as ever and amazing. The sound quality is crystal clear and a pleasure to listen to. Listen to it on a huge stereo, and you'll be under the impression that you're at the concert!
DVD:
MEXICO CITY: 10/10: Even better than the CD! This time it's much move interesting, and a beauty to look at. Amazing pyro cues, great light show, and Gerard homages Bruce Dickinson a bit! The only thing I don't like is how they didn't include the encore songs, but the Hoboken show has them in a different setlist. The sound and image are crystal clear and candy for the ears and eyes.
HOBOKEN: 8/10: Sadly not as good. Still great though! The band put on a tight performance and Gerard is in a good mood. What brings down this DVD a bit is that the setlist is inferior in comparison, and Gerard sounds a bit off on a couple songs, but still gives a great performance IMO.
So overall, this CD/DVD package is WORTH the money for sure, especially if you're a fan. I'm sure glad I bought it. Don't miss out on the chance to own this beauty while you can, you won't regret it!
Free Music Review: Outstanding Performance!!!

I have a new favorite concert video. As great as Live in Texas was (Linkin' Park) and my previous favorite, The Who Live at Royal Albert Hall, this one out performs them all!
First, a slight technical quibble. The case is CD sized, not DVD sized, so shelving is more difficult. Second, why oh why do they insist on still producing DVDs that default to the 2.0 audio track rather than the 5.1? There is simply no reason to do this! If you have a 5.1 receiver, you'll get 5.1 and if you have a 2.0 receiver, you'll get 2.0 even if it is set for 5.1, so why add the unnecessary step of having to switch the audio format each time you play the DVD.
There, that's out of the way. Now, the good stuff. No one gives a live show like My Chemical Romance, no one! Add to that a cinematographer who understands that we pay to see the band, not the audience, and you get a great view of a great performance. Now, the editing is fast and choppy when the music is fast and choppy. It just adds to the great effect. Finally, even though I don't pay to see the audience, the audience in Mexico City is the best audience ever! Most audiences sound like a crowd of drunks, but these folks can carry a tune. More than that, they actually sing backup! Listen during "Dead" when Gerard Way gets the audience started on the background vocals, then he takes off on the lead and the audience stays on the backup! Awesome job Mexico City!
I can just watch this one over and over again. The NJ show is a throw-in and I have watched it once. It is a nice extra, but the main show is what I loved!
Free Music Review: A Must-Have for MCR Lovers!

I've been looking for a live CD of My Chemical Romance for awhile and i found The Black Parade is Dead. This is one of the greatest DVD/CD sets i've ever bought. For one, you get a live CD of the Black Parade performance in Mexico. And then you get a DVD with the Mexico concert, where they play the entire Black Parade album, and you get one in New Jersey, in which they play alot of Black Parade songs mixed with some older ones from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
The DVD is the best part of the package, as they have a very good stage presence, especially during the New Jersey concert. If you love or even like MCR, i suggest you buy this because you won't be disappointed, it's one of the best things any MCR fan could own.
Free Music Review: Very Nice.

Still sealed. Perfect. All but for one thing, and I'm just a snob about my cds, they cut out the plastic around the bar code to sharpie out the bar code and so there was sharpie on it and the knife marks left from cutting the square out of the plastic. It doesn't affect anything, I'm just a snob about perfect condition. But I still give it 5 stars because I am unnaturally picky about my cds and more so when it comes to my favorite band.Free Music Review: Black Parade Live

My Chemical Romance, a band from New Jersey releases a CD/DVD combo which covers their last tour for their Black Parade Album. The DVD contains some great live footage from Mexico and also footage from a concert they had last year at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ. The CD is all live songs also from the tour, but if your a fan, the video makes buying this a must. Awesome!
