  • Anyone else bothered by the non-synchronization between the audio and video? Aside from that though, loooove.

  • Wow this is incredible! :D

  • This is so beautiful, it makes me soo happy. Go MCR and go VSQ!

  • Okay I'm sick of these comments everyone stop bitching on my chemical romance they have more fame than all of you combined if you don't fucking like them don't fucking watch the damn cover! It's the simple! I for one listen and respect all music I love mcr! And they literally saved my life so all of u need to just shut the he'll up if u don't like the band or the song WHY ARE YOU WATCHING IT TO BEGIN WITH! Grow up!

  • the picture at 2:47. I just love Gee's face

  • this version is way better than the band version it just so much more peacefull and more thought put into it

  • i love how the chorus is like i'm not okay and the music to this sounds all happy and stuff. lol

  • Hate on****

  • i happen to like my chem. i don't give a shit what any one thinks of my taste in music. THATS RIGHT MOTHER FUCKERS! I LISTEN TO MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, CRADLE OF FILTH, DISTURBED, SLIPKNOT, ESCAPE THE FATE. AND PROBABLY ALOT OF OTHER BANDS PEOPLE HATE ONE BUT I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY. THEY ARE FAR MORE TALENTED THEN SOME RAPPING RETARDS. AND THEY ARE GOOD BANDS FOR THE MOST PART.

    Seriously. every one has a right to there opinions and to listen to who they like to listen to so fuck off! <.<

  • i love gerard way and franky i think there cute

  • Ray's solo comes out really awesome

  • homophobics are gay- Frank ^-^

  • Wrong. People dont like my Chemical romance because they sound like whining little boys. Except now, they're just old now and still whining. I honestly gave em a chance. but its not singing. its whining. gross yuck. thumbs down. waste of a cover

  • ok besides the debate about mcr, can't we all just agree that the vitamin string quartet did made an awesome version of it

  • it sounds so happy...... :D

  • @Rich95828 lol thats what i was gonna say. particular emphasis and stress is put in the appropriate places but it just sounds so cheerful! that being said its awesome :) i kinda wish i had a big house with a giant room so i could hear the size of the sound through my speakers, if that doesnt make me sound so weird lol :D

  • at 2:26, well, i just was not prepared for that to be so close... but this is amazing!

  • super genial esta melodia es unica bellisimo

  • this is the strangest thing i've ever heard, hahaha. viva MCR

  • genius

  • Pure genius

  • View 91000. This song deserves it.

  • Love the origonal and thaught this take was brilliant... agree with sakura34392

  • i would LOVE to see this played

  • This sounds like a modern waltz. I love it. <3

  • Wicked song. I just couldn't watch the video though. I couldn't stand that the video wasn't synced with the music. Aside from that though, 'twas Awesome.

  • This sounds so amazing!!! XD

  • THIS IS FLIPPIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • eu adorei essa versão de mcr !

    eu adoro essa banda!

  • My chemical romance is just a band who's doing what they love; Making music, and they are doing one hell of a job too

  • whoee! totally amazing!!! if only i could play my violin like that!!! :D

  • I like MCR :)

  • Whoever thinks MCR is metal is sorely, sorely misguided. I'm struggling as to where they even made the connection? Is it because they wear black clothing? Cause their music has absolutely no commonality with metal aside from using guitars and drums.

    In summary, if you think MCR is metal, go listen to The Black Dahlia Murder. Your illusion will quickly be dispelled.

  • @MistressRebekah i am not a fan of my chemical romance because i don't like there style, I'm not a fan of metal so I dont like that either, but idk, there just not my cup of tea, is that better then hearing there gay? haha i hate it when people say that shit, but yea I'm just giving you a reason other then the ones you listed :)

  • Awesome

  • mcr i think only has a few good songs. not interested in all their songs but they do have talent

  • this is a good arrangement, but i was surprised to hear the cellist playing flat in the chorus sections (especially with the 6ths) does anyone else hear it?

  • I hear it too! Im really disappointed ;-; but the rest is awesome <3

  • @celloguy27 YAY CELLIST!!! I love the cello it has such a pretty sound don't you think?

  • yah i did and i thought it was just tasteless

  • Violin Gerard. Very nice alto-ness. :D

  • i don't like MCR but this is good

  • i love this song and i play violin and i wish we were doing this instead of boring classical stuff

  • love this song! plus the video! it's the fucken bomb! :D

    hehe

    the beginning is awesome!

    from like 6-20 xD

  • <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Wow! I love the runs!

  • ummm thats gross lol jk

  • lol oh man...im speechless..

    this is so damn awesome

  • im glad this quartet lets everyone know what an amazing sounds can come from string instruments. and that they're not old fashion bt something amazing

  • loved it so much!! todo el mundo deberia saber lo que se puede hacer con los instrumentos de cuerda (Y)

  • the solo!!

  • awesome

  • VSQ is simply amazing. Most of the songs they do their own spin of turn out sounding more somber than the original (which theres is nothing wrong with, it still sounds incredibly beautiful). To me, this one turned sounding very uplifting.. minus the chords in the intro which were minor chords (if i'm not mistaken). But i adore MCR and love this vid. Thank you for putting it up. :]

  • This song was just amazing before. But it's even better with the Vitamin String Quartet! They make the music have even more feeling then it did before and that is just amazing.

  • It's so trendy to hate My Chemical Romance. I've yet to hear anyone give me a reason other than,"They're gay" or "They're not metal."

    Newsflash: My Chemical Romance is not trying to be metal. That's like saying you hate Yanni because he isn't metal. Also, saying that something is "gay" as a reason for not liking it is a BS cop-out.

    That being said, VSQ's version of Helena is great too.

  • i agree all my class mates say stuff like that and get ticked when they get asked how is that a reason

  • And what's more, if you ask why they dislike MCR they say: "Not everything has to have a reason."

    Oh, and I adore VSQ's cover of Helena. :-)

  • helena one is amazing :)

  • finally sumone tlkin sense aha, thts exactly how i feel =)

  • @MistressRebekah Most people at my school like mcr..

  • @MistressRebekah amen mcr rock

  • @MistressRebekah and in the words of Frank Iero, "homophobia is gay."

  • @TiaLovettTodd gayness is gay.

  • @MistressRebekah lol how bout cause they're emo

  • @LP4life84 "lol how bout" you learn to spell, grow a brain, grow some original thoughts and come back and tell me that a band who have repeatedly said "we are not emos" are emo. I used to be all emo, and then I grew out of it. But while I was I liked Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Pulp and Blur and bands like that. Does that mean that they're all emo? Grow up.

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996 lol they've said they're not emo? you can't choose your own label.When it comes to deciding whats emo and whats not its not about the image or who the listener is. Its about the lyrics. And don't know if you've heard the lyrics to this song but MY definition, its pretty emo. I guess our definitions are little bit different though :)

  • @LP4life84 So we're going to start calling Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash emos now because of their lyrics? Was Mahler an emo becuase his music was "depressing"? It's just blind stupidity. Emo is mostly bullshit, and this isn't evidently isn't bullshit. It's good music. I just wish everyone would shut up with the whole "emo" thing. It's fucking immature.

    (Now have a picture in my head of Johnny Cash with a side fringe. God I wish I could work photoshop.)

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996 lol ok heres why I think this song is emo. He's singing about how his girlfriend broke up with him in a whiny voice and whiny lyrics. "I'm not okay, wah wah boo hoo." Johnny Cash was a little deeper than that

  • @LP4life84 I'm not comparing the two, I'm pointing out that if we applied your reasoning to more music then we'd be caling Johnny Cash emo. I'm Not Okay is kind of anthem for outcast teenagers. They relate to it in a way they can't relate to other songs. It's not about being emo, it's about feeling the meaning of the song. Anyway, there are loads of great songs about relatioinships breaking up. It happens to everyone, not just whiny teenagers with overdyed hair (like me, lol).

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996 well whatever floats your goat I guess lol

  • @LP4life84 Lol, sorry, bit of a rant there. :)

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996 lmao nah, just means your passionate :)

  • @DIGIxPUNKx1996 Damn straight. 'Emo' is applied to such a wide array of different musical styles that it's fairly meaningless as anything other than a term that suggests a general aesthetic that's neither shallow, upbeat bubblegum pop nor aggressive women-are-all-bitches-and-hoes flavour stuff. It basically just means "not macho shitheads". I see why people label My Chem 'emo', but it's very reductive & it undermines the integrity of the music. They have such a wide range of musical influences.

  • @nomdesouris This is what I was trying to say, but you said it with far more eloquence.

  • @MistressRebekah So true... like a band for the music not the image they or you portray

  • @MistressRebekah

    I hated them when they came out with the black parade because I thought they went totally mainstream with that album. but after I got over my lame obsession with what I thought was nonconformity I realized that I actually found some of the songs on that album to be real toe tappers

  • That being said, I think the Vitamin String Quartet have done an excellent job here. The arrangement is true to the original song, and very well performed. I'm definitely going to get this CD the next chance I get.

    Bob knows, it'll make my parents happy. Now their ears don't have to take Gerard's screaming. :]

  • Fucking hell. Even here?

    Look, people are not soup cans. Labels are for idiots who don't have a clue about the human mind. Stop branding yourselves emo, stop calling other people emo and stop assuming you know everything about a person because of the music they listen to.

    LISTEN TO THE DAMN SONG AND APPRECIATE THE MUSIC. Stop getting your panties in a twist because you don't like what someone else said.

  • HELL YEAH! You said it.

  • wh00t wh00t! now tell that to all the idiots at my school! <:D

  • I know man, the world sucks these days.

    People just, are so damn mean to everyone! It's terrible. But if people at your school are bein' mean to you, just act like it doesn't even bother you one bit. It'll make them feel silly, trust me. It makes you untouchable. :)

    Explain your views, and if they make fun of it, shrug it off. They're just ignorant.

    That's how I do it :)

  • haha if i could thumbs up this one a thousand times i would :D

  • Hahaha, thank you! :)

  • Haha, thanks man.

  • They are. It's all about friends, trends and how to claw your way to the top. It aggravates me so much sometimes, but I tend to ignore those kind of people for the most part. Though, if they provoke me, I will respond, intelligently and often politely, so they end up making fools of themselves.

  • @heypunkiey i started doing this kind of thing when i was at school and didnt get bullied as much. i still got beaten but not as badly

  • @heypunkiey

    Dude, I think I just found another genius. You know how sometimes, half your grade thinks you're some disgusting person and make fun of you, or you're antisocial and mean and want to be left alone? Yeah, I deal with it daily. I also take two classes a grade above mine, and this one kid said I should've stayed in my own grade. Geez, what a witch; what'd I ever do to her? 's not my fault I'm so smart.

  • @heypunkiey Don't just ACT like it doesn't bother you, don't let it bother you at all! Realize that you don't want anyone who's that big of an asshole as a friend anyway! Thats what I did and it was a huge breakthrough when I finally realized that.

  • @heypunkiey Compare it to the middle ages and it'll look like paradise. Stop whining.

  • @heypunkiey and if they try to beat you up just be like "Yes, YES BREAK ME!!" they'll never go near you again... though you will undoubtedly then be seen as the class queer like me... : P

  • I tell that to the idiots at my school all the time. -rolls eyes- Apparently I'm "emo" because I wore a black hoodie once, and I was having a particularly bad day. Just to spite them, the next day I came in a hoodie that was bright, eye-blindingly purple. XD

  • Holy mother of Frank, I only just realized that this actually got responses. -epic fail-

  • woww this is awesome! they make it so pretty :]

    I'ma just ignore the stupid emo comments, cause they're nothing to do with the string quartet, nor the video.

    They should get a life and watch videos of things they like instead of wasting their time watching something they don't like just to diss the people who like it/say they don't like it/whatever.

    I personally loved it.

    :]

  • isn't this the viola? yeah, i think the first is, then the cello is the background with the thumpthump,\

    and the highest is first violin, and then second violin

    :)

  • umm the term emo is sometimes offensive to us. well some of us. And you cnt judge someone on their apperance nd juss say hey their emo you cnt just judge them if u dnt know them. you coudl look at me nd say hay theirs an emo kidd nd i guess i am but if u get to kno me i am a kind person so dnt judge ppl okay?((advice frm a 14 yeer old))

  • "Us"? What are you a cult?

    I think its horribly judgmental to place yourself into a specific group, have it an offensive name or not.

  • Everyone on this comment board needs to chill out and eat an apple or some shit.

  • lol why an apple in particular?

  • loveee <3

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  • you know what, screw all the people before who are arguing about being emo and other crap. i like this song and this version is amazing. that is my opinion. so...HA! :)

  • theres no such thing as emos or preps or jocks were all human so who cares if we dress different or listen to different kinds of music just enjoy what u do and dont let the rest of the world bother u

  • I have a questions, since when does smart mean preppy. And if one band can have thirty labels of type then a person can too. And here is a label everyone has. Human, smart, able to live and communicate. Take that labelists.

  • Hell yes. And if someone is going to label me, and thinks that smart means preppy, they're gonna have a hell of a time. I no longer fall into a label, and that makes me happy... because nobody can do it.

  • Trust me on this, nobody can understand emo except emos. It's best to just leave them be and enjoy their music.

  • I always liked mcr's videos.

  • lol it almost sounds happy in this version XD

  • All Right!!! Emo,Prep,Jock,Nerd are labels that people use to may other feel bad so here I'M AN EMO AND I'M PROUd of it so STFU. And IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY DON"T SAY IT AT ALL.

  • excuse u.

    that my friend Womtothebat123, would be an insult to emos.

    get it straight.

    emos r people to. emos are not stupid. people should respect them more.

  • emos are not stupid, but you are. you obviously misunderstood the term emo.

    they cant be preppy

  • who says?

    who says everyone has to be the same on the surface as they are on the inside? who says I cant be a sadist and a prep at the same time?

    Who says everyone has to follow guidelines?

    Emos can be preps. Trust me.

    And I despise people who say otherwise because it just shows how obviously narrow-minded some of society is.

  • i know some preppy emo pple

  • ima happy emo but no prep

  • WOW u sounded so fuckin retarted

  • how so?

  • They're the very opposite of emo. You'd know that if you bothered listening to them speak.

    They certainly aren't stupid- they're some of the most intelligent men.

    Pussy? Anything but. They've gone through more than you could imagine.

    Punk- They don't try. They're themselves, and that's all. They play music that they love, and they play music that others love. They don't care about labels, unlike your own close-minded, life-lacking self.

  • More than i can imagine? I want you to explain more on that.

    Pussy? yes they are, i know from personal experience after taking on two of them at once and handing both of their asses to them and making one of them cry.

    P.S. You might want to change your first sentence and your second point because they are saying the same thing

  • I don't owe you an explanation for shit. They've simply gone throug a childhood like nothing else, drugs, and assholes likeyou.

    Yeah, I definetly believe that one.

    I don't think I want to. I stand by it, no matter.

  • No one made them do the drugs they pick, whether or not, to do drugs. If your saying they had a tough childhood its because of their own stupidity.

    Assholes like me? LOL I'm just pointing out the obvious.

  • 'Ts called depression. And living in violent NJ isn't their fault.

    Listen to them speak for five minutes. You aren't poiting out the obvious, you're just being a jerk for no reason. They aren't any of the things you said. You need to get a life and stop spamming this up with your shit.

  • Who named drugs..? And talking doesn't always work. Losing a love is unbearable, but I never mentioned cutting themselves. Because he DIDN'T. Gerard Way is completely and utterly AGAINST self-harm. Their clothes aren't stupid. I actually own quite a bit of merch. (:

    They were born there, and once, more, they aren't emo. I don't even believe in the bobdamn word.

  • Who mentioned a "love"..? I know a couple of emos who are emos because they feel like being one.

    And if you don't believe in the word "emo" than what are we arguing about?

  • I mentioned a depressions. Part of that sprouted from a whore who wanted Gerard solely for his fame.

    We're arguing about the fact that you're unnessacarily posting rude and offensive comments on a songfor the sole purpose of posting them.

  • Gerard is the lead singer of My Chemical Romance and appranet "pansy".

    And no, you're just being rude and offending those of us who greatly respect and care for these boys.

  • God you are so stupid kayla... he was talking about emos in general... idiot. And Krispy, wtf do you care. Its not gonna make your balls bigger if you talk about "emos" over an internet chat, and mention things like you handing them their asses or whatever. But, if you need a self-esteem boost, go stare at your 2 inch penis in the mirror and tell yourself its normal size

  • And you're so intelligent...I can see that by your user name.

    I don't believe in the word "emo", as I've already pointed out, kiddo. These boys aren't anything of the sort, and I was just defending my heroes. It's nothing on you.

  • HAHAHAHAHA.

  • stupid emo's.

  • Beautiful.

  • This would be awesome at a wedding. You should try and get the music in sync with his lips, though. Anyway, awesome song!

  • why wouls you play my chemical romance at a wedding?

  • Because some people have gothic weddings.

  • oh ok my bad sorry i thought you just meant weddings in general thanks for clearing that up

  • Why are people broadcasting if they're town/city/Area-They-Live-In say Epic Fail/Win?

    Nobody cares. Shut up.

    -

    This was kick-awsome. :)

  • I live in michigan and people here say epic fail all the time, but i've never actually heard anyone say epic win..

  • I love the normal version, and this is pretty nice at well. It sounds rather romantic, in a sense, to me.

  • I didn't know people in TEXAS used the word epic =/

  • EPIC

  • Epic Win

  • ha...epic...i didnt know other people outside of bandera texas used that word...hehe you made my day

  • Oh yeah. Do a google search of Epic win.

    And if you are looking for a treat, then do a google search for Epic fail.

  • lol.

    awesome

    thanks

  • same in the big apple XP (N.Y)

  • Well, I live in Wichita Falls, Texas, and we use it here. Lol.

  • LOL! Bandera is awesome, I live in Dallas and we go there for a week of paintball/airsoft almost every spring break. In fact we will be there from the Mar 7th to the 14th.

  • where do you go in bandera?

  • I live Cork, Ireland, and we say it lol :D :D :D But we say pure win/fail more

  • I live in northern Illinois, and we say epic win/fail constantly. C:

  • I love the introoo <3

    I need to learn how to play this on my violin or maybe my bass.

     :D

  • LOVE IT!

    VST is shittastical (in a good way) I wish I could buy all of their tributes, but I don't have that much money or ipod memory

  • DVDVideoSoft

    it takes audio from selected utube vids and turns them to mp3s, its free is r8 good :)

  • The introduction didnt really work with the portamento's and I think thhe transferal to strings shows just how flat the vocal line is during the verse. But I do love strings :)

  • nice

  • This is tight!

    I wish I could play strings.

    I only play guitar strings :P

  • This sounds like it could have been written way back when, when classical music was in and stuffsness.

  • classical music is still in, but I get what you mean.

  • OMG i luvz this vid

    it does make you appreciate classical instruments i try to play (and i aint doin so well) but i still try and my father doent let me listen to music with words so i always put on this cd and listen to this its so perfect!!! XD

  • Well, best of luck to you. As far as listening to music is concerned, I'd recommend using headphones.

  • my father says that its too distracting that y i can listen with words. (parentsand their strict rules!!!!)

  • pffh...parents.

    Mine are mildly strict. I don't understand your parents specifically, but on a universal level I understand how parents can be.

  • I hardcore MCR and i love anything played on like violins an cellos and what not. SO I love this song. But the video is off slightly. And I can't watch it and listen at the same time. I like things in black and white but what is it, like it was copied from the tv?

  • love this.

    (p.s. i play bass)

  • im 13 years old nd i can play htis song full on not as well but i can i luv this song

  • the vitamin string quartet totally makes me appreciate classical music a little more. you can totally hear the sheer genius of what the band wrote.

  • this is awsome..maybe better than the original
