Post #150: New My Chemical Romance Singles March 27, 2007
Posted by blanathema in Bands, Music, My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade, Singles, Videos, Youtube.trackback
My Chemical Romance, the band with whom I am currently a tad obsessed with, are releasing their latest single to follow Famous Last Words a week on Monday (2nd April). The track that has been chosen for the third UK single is I Don’t Love You. It seems for this time round the band have gone for a slightly more ballad-sounding song. By that, I mean it’s not got the sheer screaming energy of Famous Last Words or Welcome To The Black Parade.
Anyway, it is not this which I am looking forward to; as good a song as it is. No, what I’m really, really, REALLY looking forward to is what is rumored to be their next single. The band did a video shoot out in California on March the 17th and they asked for fans to volunteer to star in the video. It has been strongly rumored, and almost confirmed by the band in various interviews, that Teenagers was the single for which they recorded a video. Yes, that’s right, Teenagers - my all time favourite track off ‘The Black Parade’. I’ve got one friend who has been driving me insane by constantly telling me how the new album is absolute rubbish. I’m fine with people feeling this way, so long as they’ve actually heard the whole of the album. He’s basing his assumptions of Welcome To The Black Parade and I Don’t Love You; the only two songs that he’s heard from last year’s album. I really do hope that Teenagers will make him realize that ‘The Black Parade’ is as good as and if not better than ‘Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge’.
Apparently (and this is all rumors, might I add), the band will release Teenagers as the third single over in the US and the follow it with the UK’s third: I Don’t Love You. This is kind of like what Muse did when they released Knights of Cydonia as the first single in the US then brought it to us European fans a bit later on, after Supermassive Black Hole and Starlight. The new single is fairly radio-friendly, with an ultra-addictive beat and some fantastic lyrics it’s one of the poppiest songs that the band have done to date. On the other hand, it does have the following line repeated more than a few times in each chorus: “I said all teenagers scare, the living shit out of me!” Rumor has it that the word “shit” is to be replaced by either “heck” or “freak”. Not quite sure how that will sound but it must be better than how the radio-edit of This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race ended up; there were gaps every few seconds.
Anyway, as it seems there’s going to be quite a few months before Teenagers is released in the UK, we’ll have to be satisfied with the not-quite-as-brilliant-but-still-very-amazing single release of I Don’t Love You. I must say, though, that my biggest regret of the whole thing has to be that I desperately wanted a double release of The End/Dead! as their final UK single. Still, there’s always that minute chance that they’ll release five singles from ‘The Black Parade’.
Meanwhile, I’m still trying to tame the massive increase in my devotion to them that was brought on by such an incredible gig on Saturday evening. I’ve listened to all three of their albums at least 20 times since getting home that night. Finally, this is my 150th post on the Blanathema, which is much further than I ever imagined getting. I reckon it’s been a real successful venture for me and have no intention of stopping in the very near future.
For the time being, here’s the video of I Don’t Love You, released on April the 2nd.

i was also hoping that they would release The End. and Dead! together. while i love the epic-ness (not a word, i know) and emotion of songs like Famous Last Words and Cancer, Dead! is admittedly my favorite song from the album and i love how The End. segues into it. although it doesn’t on my cd player because the darn thing leaves gaps between each song. (this disappointment was also reflected when i bought American Idiot and popped it in my player, and didn’t even realize the segway between Holiday and Boulevard until my friend told me months later.)
anyway i just wanted to say kudos for the comment about The End. / Dead! i was thinking it would be so neat if they made one combined video for the both of them, without a break between the two songs.
Hopefully they still will, for like a final, download-only single (as Muse have done with ‘Invincible’). We can always dream, eh?
Yes Teenagers is the new video, I live in orange county and the production company sent me an invitation to part of it, its gonna be great!!! they wont be wearing theyr black parade outfits , its also in a high school, … what else? oh yeah cheerleaders haha its like a mix of the wall and smells like teen spirit. i got to hang out with them as well and take pictures.
Bryan.Z
so how many singles have they released in the UK and what are their names?
the names of the songs i mean…
Hey!
im so excited for this next video.. but im trying not to get my hopes too high, just in case it isnt as brilliant as my imagination makes it out to be!!
im glad they’re doing a highschool thing, hoping there’s lots of bob in this clip because they tend not to focus much on him [and he is like Sooo pretty, lol, im sucha teenie right now]
anyway.. only like 2 more days left to wait.. thats what ive been told anyway!! *excitement*
MCR are an awesome band [but everyone already knows that]
and i agree they should put out The end/dead!
Dead! is an awesome song to dance too.. when nobodys watchin
all of their songs are fab to dance to when no-one is watching. i went to see them at Birmingham NIA on the 22nd of March and i can tell you, it’s one gig i will never forget for the simple reason that Gerard looked soooooooo gorgeous in his black parade uniform. As for the new video i love the idea of a bit more Bob in the shots. it seems he always get the blunt end of things. although he does hate cameras… the whole band is absolutely amazing and i hope that mikey has a great honeymoon with his new wife. Congratulations you two!!!!
whats a download only single?
did you hear about the awful review I don’t love you got from NME magazine? it was truly horrible. head over to the site to check it out and give that lot a piece of your mind!
well if you don’t check it out here’s what it says anyway-
My Chemical Romance
I Don’t Love You
A prime example in the art of extreme turd-polishing, this tune may sound slicker than 100 pots of Simon Cowell’s hair gel, but it’s still a bastardised, sub-standard Green Day ballad by anyone’s standards. It’s also got a godawful guitar riff that sounds like it’s been plucked from a never-listened-to 1980s hair-metal tune. Stay away from this pile of balls
WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH - IT IS ONE OF THEIR MOST ARTISTIC VIDS TO DATE!!!!!
No one should ever listen to what they say, anyway
absolutely true. i thought NME was a my chem respecting magazine. Last weeks they were quite literally sucking up to them. Ha! blanathema - do you know the answer to my questions??
Just means that they only release it online, like on iTunes or something, without making the physical copies. I was wrong, though; someone told me Muse’s ‘Invincible’ was going to be like that but it turns out that it’s just a normal release. I shall have to check my sources in future!
i am sooo lost! teenagers is one of my favorite songs of TBP and i am super excited for the video (why didn’t i know they were asking for fans!!!) but its already the 24th of april and i cant find any video anywhere!!! can someone help me???
It wasn’t released on Monday because they felt it was insensitive towards the people affected by the Virginia Tech shootings last week. Possibly due to the fact it was filmed at a High School! They said it was going to be released a week or two instead.
Aww its great they delayed it because of the Viginia tech thing..
i just hope that people dont think the band released the song because of the shootings.. and i hope they dont say they “tryed to make money off of a horible event” because.. well.. they didnt!!
The tragedy just makes the song even more relevant!!
.. “its tragic with a capital T”
lol.. i cant help adding mcr song quotes in
So….does anyone know where i could see it? it’s may first!!!!! ugggh….
ha kay
somebody answer….SOON!!
Dead! is an awesome song to dance too.. when nobodys watchin
Hahaha me, my mirror and my ipod have had some good times with that song.
It’s May 6th (just saw them at Bamboozle!!! AMAZING!!!) And they STILL have not released it. But probably because of the VT tragedy or the Salmonilla poisoning (yes it has been confirmed by Gee as Salmonilla) But your right, it does make it more relevent and in a recent interview Gee said, We are going to start to get involved with anti-teen-violence campaigns and charities because of Teenagers and the Virgina Tech Massacre.
BY THE WAY:
That NME review makes me want to hurt someone
But there have been some photos leaked on Buzznet (for the making of the video) that you could check out. That’s all I know for now.
Haha apparantly the video feautures some interesting things such as cheerleaders in gas masks. I’m actually really happy that the boys are staying dark but now have that sarcastic and bright sense of humour back. They are always funny but they were getting pretty serious in interviews.
Probably because their BRILLIANT
Absolutely right - they are brilliant!
i seem to have neglested this site for quite some time, so thank you to those who have answered all my questions. I’ve heard that Teenagers isn’t to be released as a single until May 15th and their video in around 10 days. Sorry guys! should be interesting though….
the teenagers vid is awesome! i saw a clip of it on youtube - cheerleaders in gas masks! brilliant!!!!
gerard way is no longer single and i’m being bloody serious about it! he admitted on 97x interview that he has found someone special. im sorry girls but he is taken. bring on the tears. (i don’t know whether you already know this but.. i’m sorry you have to find this out here.) i’m not joking i wish i was.
if u dn’t believe me type in April 19th gerard way into the youtube search box and click on the 97x interview. u’l soon see.
is nobody actually bothered?
seriously is any1 bothered?
im happy for him. naomi x
at least sum1 els is. bit of a bummer isn’t it though. i mean this: i sincerely hope he is truly happy and who ever he is with is a very lucky person and i hope she/he treats him well otherwise she’ll/he’ll have a thousand hungry angry fans on his/her hands. (i say his/her because he hasn’t specified a gender yet.) not to mention me and my best mate…
how cums da teenagers single and video hasn’t been released yet?

Not sure about the single release date, especially for the UK but apparently the video is due to be released on this coming Tuesday (29th May). At least, that’s what I heard.
yey!!!!!!!! soooooooo excited!!!! it told me on wikipedia that the single was dur out May 15th but i enquired and they hadn’t even heard of it. slightly confused… yet it doesn’t take much!
CHEESE GRATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
i’v just seen the new teenagers vid on YouTube. it was awesome!!!!!! it would have been gr8 to b n dat video, but i feel sorry for MCR - they got trampled!!!!! i hope no-one wuz hurt. awesome!!!!!!!
it says dat da single is out July 9th 2007. that long to wait - bummer!!!!
So they are definetly releasing teenagers in the UK?
I thought it was just the US!!!!
ooo im happy now! Except you know they are going to overplay it and even your favourite song can get annoying if its played too much.
too true. mum sickened herself of famous last words. how can any1 get bored of my chem?
as far as i no they are releasing it in the Uk and american. not entirely sure though.

eh? wat n erth wer da posts postd afta 26th june al bou?
I love this song, it’s my fave from their album.
teenagers scare the livin’ s*** outta me!
at last….. sum1 who gt it rite…
my computer is sitting in the corner of the room muttering tantalisingly to itself about how it doesn’t want to take a bath…
The Teenagers single was out on the 9th of July 2007 (6 days ago); the video was released around two to three weeks beforehand. They delayed it because of the Virginia Tech Massacre and because they felt it was more respectful to the victims families. We always knew they had a heart in amidst all the darkness. Maybe that’s why we love them all so much. And maybe that’s why so many of them are getting married, already are married or have girlfriends. The people they are with are truly spectacular people and all I have to say is that they had better treat them well or they’ll have a thousand hungry fans on their tails.
P.S: Can anyone tell me what My Chemical Romance X-Posed is all about? I’ve just bought it and I’m not quite sure what it is that I’ve bought, I’ve been after it for ages but unfortunately the blurb isn’t the best blurb in the world.
Why have they blocked their web page?
the beggars have still blocked it! can anyone get onto it?
hello!????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
everyone else can get on, why can’t i?
holy crap. gerard way isn’t engaged anymore!
hello?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

good bye to the world, i know you won’t miss me at all…..
