[jaredloveleto]

[xxgatxx]

Take it away <3 <3 <3

[xXCupidsChokeholdXx]

I guess what most people can't seem to understand here is that, Gerard is quite intoxicated here. You can tell. This was long before he sobered up, that's why you'll find his performances have vastly improved over the years =)

[ryneldo]

@xXCupidsChokeholdXx He got sober summer 2004. This is Christmas 2004.....think about it ?

[xXCupidsChokeholdXx]

@ryneldo Well (and this isn't me trying to start a lame youtube fight) from what I've seen/read from both of them about the whole thing, he sobered up after him and Bert went seperate ways. From what I've seen, that was part of the problem. But who knows I could be wrong.

[ryneldo]

@xXCupidsChokeholdXx No dude he sobered up because he nearly killed himself. Look up life on the murder scene. Plus Bobs in the band. Bob joined as Gerard got sober :)

[RosaLui]

@xXCupidsChokeholdXx This was Christmas 2004. He got sober August 11th (?) 2004. So he'd been sober for a while here.

Also, he didn't always sing badly when he was drunk. One of the worst, most drunken shows they ever played - the turning point for everything - was Summer Sonic in August 2004, and yet there are clips of him from that same show belting out 'House of the Rising Sun' and sounding AMAZING.

Plus he and Bert were still friends for a good few months after Gerard got clean. :)

[wwwww5times]

go ray <3

[XxRazor2TheRosaryXx]

Lol what a funny/ironic song to dedicate to The Used.

[artfanatsymanic]

Ya, well its sort of funny how with MCR they fluctuate between being at times the best I've ever experienced live and other times being the worst live. Usually all in the same concert. The problem really is that in some songs Gerard sings in a style that requires a trained voice but doesn't really have have one. He's gotten A LOT better though. And they're still definitely amazing.

[XxRazor2TheRosaryXx]

@artfanatsymanic I think it's also that he alters his lyrics alot when he sings live and it makes it sound really weird and not always good lol.

[3ILuvmusic]

I like how he altered the lyrics to, "I don't care how much you invest yourself into fucking me". I'm not sure if he meant it that way, but it was still funny.

[CopafaceBabyFirefly]

Have you guys ever actually BEEN to a My Chem gig? They're quite obviously the best live band I've ever seen.

[uklittle]

I love them so much but i really wish they were better live, it's so disappointing. :(

[HelpCatIsMee]

gerard screams alot lol

[E202K]

sikarirocsmisox : I think so too

[TwistedMind26]

Sorry but this video is all about THE USED! Can't you tell they are soo much better?

[LiteSwitch100]

i usually like mcr.. but i just realized this. they pretty much stink live.

[sikarirocsmisox]

Its because when they record Gerard can sing each song in bits and pieces, when he sings live he tends to get a little breathless and occasionally fall off pitch, and also he can't layer on vocals, so the other band members pick it up whereas in the studio its Gerard's voice layered over Gerard's voice...and for all the people who are likely to hate this, I'm not hating on MCR -They're my favorite band ever- I was just explaining why they sound slightly messy live :)

[flyinglemoncentral]

i couldn't have put it better myself. :)

[greenday48390]

yeah that's why the live version of "The Sharpest Lives" sounds like....crap...great song though. The rest of their Black Parade Live album sounded good though. Especially Teenagers, Disenchanted and FML.

[HelpCatIsMee]

sikarirocsmisox: i agree too

[Uhhxhi]

I agree.

[eatlimes]

possibly going to the almost acoustic xmas this year. <3

i wish mcr played this year. oh well this is effin awesome. i love mcr more than anythinggggg~!

[vampireme11]

pretty bert yum :)

[U2rock55]

i thought this was an acoustic concert....

another thing which has lost it's meaning

[Noelle75k8]

Maybe that's why it's called ALMOST acoustic concert...

[animalboy099]

hmm sounds better on cd

[britneyromero1]

omg i remember watching this on tv ! i miss them so much!

[MrGosh72]

yeah they definately needed to turn Bert's mic down on prison. Regardless, it's a great set.

[maya102181]

[ChloeYess]

Bert is so beautiful.

[cmedinalovesfany]

[nikki4267]

no wonder why he cant sing as good live he doesnt have enough time to rest in between songs! woah not to be mean but u know i have to make a point that's the reason! lmao ray "u guys look like ur at a mathematics convention!" gee "yeaah!"

[puremetalll]

[GerardwHey]

I think they needed to turn Bert down a bit during Prison but other then that, this was really cool! Hehe

[puumasokka]

bert's scream is WOOOOOO!

[UrbanAcrobat]

[mcrafifan]

ok for everyone who keeps asking if he's drunk: He was totally clean and sober at this point in time...idk why he is acting like that but he is NOT DRUNK!!!

[headontrauma]

just a word :P

[DRESSEDxTOxIMPRESS]

eh oh that's right XD woops

[skullxbones666]

Mmmmm. Nope I don't think he's drunk. If you notice... Bob Bryar is playing. If I've got my timeline right, he was clean by then =]

But yeah... his voice sounds kinda strained here. But hell. I couldn't do any better... so I'm no1 to crit lol =]

[iluvsharon]

Yeah he sounds drunk cuz he was slurring a little bit.

[wannadanceawkward]

wow if he's not drunk...then they used to kinda suck...NOT ANYMORE THOUGH SO DONT KILL ME but if thats how they sounded sober....wowwie Gerard honey you needed some work

[loser0punk]

i liked gerard wayes long hair better than the short new hair but i kinnda think there live act has inproved since three cheers

[keymaster2]

I went to a show last week. He has black long hair but he kinda has this wierd Mohawk in the front of his hair. My friend works for mtv and they were doing some kinda performance for mtv2 sponcering or something like that. BUt yah,they played teenagers there

[lovewwe13]

too bad they aren't the same old MCR that they were here

[unabjorg89]

Is it just me or does the sound not match

[hadeharia]

logically speaking I know he's not supposed to be drunk here (given the time period) but- the 'well there's no way I'm kissing that guy' part in Give Em Hell Kid in this... most of that is so slurred it doesn't even sound like English. Wow.

[wannadanceawkward]

yeah this is psetting i dont like to watch him from way back when when he was like a drunk. Hes so much better sober like WAAAAAY better

[lovewwe13]

he's not drunk there

[jackhudson1392]

I thought he got sober in July 2004 didn't he?

[hulabalooba]

yeap yeap, 8/11 2004

so he shouldnt be drunk

and he hasnt played shows drunk eversince they got bob

[DrowningLessons92]

[TheBlackParade01x]

OMG look at gerard, hes awesome! Wooh, MCR in 4 days!

[patdmcrmyloves]

THANK YOU!

[skyyx47]

lmao he's WASTED.

[JamesCPotter13]

you can tell when they say happy holidays

[xoemotearsox]

umm ya dude he's pretty drunk, look at him once "oh shit i lost my mike" and he's all stumblin and shit

[princesskatlin37]

who here thinks tht mcr is emo? honestly.

[harlequingirls52]

omfg your such a faggot even just for saving that. you wasted about 20 seconds of your time writing such a stupid question, and wasted about 5 seconds of other peoples time, from reading such a stupid question.

[princesskatlin37]

good job answering the question, dumbface

[bambuskaru]

and u most probably wasted about a minute answering to this question , that u really actually didnt answer x).. and i most probably wasted a minute aswell right now.. or somewhere like that. woot woot for time!

[drowningxinxvain]

I know I seem no less moronic than the rest of you for replting to this but My Chemical Romance is a band that saves lifes and maintains sanity. They are a god to much of the teenage population. How does that give them a title such as emo?

[rlatngus092]

I wasted the most time reading these!

[the44er]

bert has stolen franks part of i am not okay (i promise)

[mychemicalromaceX]

The bert don't know sing

he is very bad..... ¬¬'

but gerard....knowss

[Kintxojor]

Bert es el puto amooo!!! Putos anglosajones dejar d emeteros con ell!!!! Viva Bert y Frank!!!!!! Ke os peten!!!!

[DARTHSTR1FE]

Bert Mccraken is an ass clown

[princesskatlin37]

bahha thats a good insult

[Downdoguk]

Even though he's drunk, he sounds better now than some of the shows nowadays, because by the time it gets to the old material in the modern sets, his voice is tired, and you can hardly hear him.

This is a good show, in my opinion their best image, and Bert rocks too.

[elquinnerfob]

hes not drunk, he became sober earlier that year

[Downdoguk]

Ahh, well he still sounds better here than nowadays lol

[mcrrme]

HES NOT DRUNK HE BECAME SOBER!!!!!

[harlequingirls52]

nah he probably was a bit wasted coz, in a vid of an early concert, he said hed been sober for nearly 3 years so yer... i dunno.

[smurfwaffles]

a little rough, but I would still go and see them live

[suicidalcricket]

did anyone else like just have a seizure?

[mandapanda6]

i couldnt care less what he sounds like... just as long as i can watch him im a happy camper... but they were amazing at projekt revoulution!!

[ohsosexydevinx3]

you couldn't care less what he sounds like? then what's the point?

[mcrlover4etertinity]

i know huh? i agree with you ohsosexydevinx3

people should stop about how they look and listen to the music and their message!!!

[mrsbennington24]

I love Gee but it hurts to hear him like this. . . I'm glad he's better! ^_^

[MCRdynamite]

Hmm, yeah, Gerard's voice does sound a bit rough, but I would have given almost anything to have been there, supporting them by cheering and moshing harder than anyone. MCR really are an amazing band, and no matter what Gerard's voice sounds like, that won't change.

I just gotta say this, though: Frank was totally hot in that performance!!!

[computusdeceptio]

Damn I am a diehard fan but he sounds bloody aweful! He sounded like this at the first few songs of PR in Chicago...I was disappointed :(

But he is very hit or miss I have found.

[shotsxfired]

-cries- that's because he was drunk! Damn to have missed it. UGH.

[CHIgrrl98]

whoa! i will never drik alcohol again!!!!! an to be so drunk,bert mckrakin sounds really god,but poormcr,gerard wy sounds pitiful,hes a really cheap drunk i guess(well used to be) im so glad hes clean and sober! its goodto see someone climb out of a situation like that

[crazykidstephanie]

I think he was sober by this time, cuz he got clean/sober in August 2004 and this is probably December, maybe he's sick idk

but yes all us mcr fans thankful he got out of where he was :)

[bollielollie]

love the band but wtf is wrong with his voice

[MCRisLUV123]

i luv this so much!

[elquinnerfob]

the sounds off a little

[blueblackwires]

That was amazing <3

[RachaelPepper2000]

[chemicalromancer13]
