Been waiting for this one!! really an amazing album. I just lost my Gran to cancer back in December and hearing cancer since has made me well up, it is just such a well written song that really does show the harrowing nature behind the illness and what it does to people emotionally. So happy you reacted to this :)

Oh and the long pause at the start of blood is why it is a hidden track. When streaming wasn't the main way to listen to music and instead people physically bought the album, "Blood" was not listed on the track list or booklet, so unless you just let the CD keep playing after FLW, you didnt know it was on the album!

Unfortunately the making of the black parade as an album was relatively traumatic for the band, so there’s actually a fair lack of media on how this specific album was made/recorded. “It was a dark time. At times it felt like the record was trying to kill us,” Gerard once said in an interview. The label was pushing them to have a “bigger” record which just compounded in stress within the band. Along with how they wrote the album in a supposedly haunted mansion in LA, leading to Gerard’s night terrors and was part of the reason Mikey left the band for a number of months. Mikey can be quoted saying that the writing of the album “Was like pouring gasoline on all [his] problems and setting fire to them. [He] almost didn't get through it.” Gerard also reports becoming “obsessed” with the concept of death and… Joan of Arc??? In an interview he talks about how during the writing of the album he “considered shaving his head as she had once done. He bought countless films about her and would watch them alone in his room, prompting nightmares in which he watched her burning alive.” Frank Iero, the rhythm guitarist, has said that he was concerned for Gerard’s safety during the writing process, often thinking he was “in too deep”.

In terms of live performances of this album, the band is CURRENTLY touring it in an INSANE theatrical display. Like, lore, characters, actors, an entire fictional language made up just for this tour. There hasn’t yet been a proshot released but if you’re interested in checking it out (not even for a reaction tbh) there’s quite a few 4k audience filmed ones. Probably the most insane song on the current tour is Mama, they’ve added a new verse and there’s an opera singer as part of the cast and it’s legitimately an unbelievable watch. Blood is also a pretty insane watch every show. They also did tour this album in full throughout 2006/7, and there is a proshot recording on their youtube titled “The Black Parade is Dead” if you wanted to check out a less theatrical version. It is also their only officially recorded and self released proshot performance.

You should react to Cancer Live in Mexico city on the 2006 black parade is dead tour, it really shows how intense the song is and really any song preformed at that concert was amazing tbh
