(exclaims) San Francisco! Transylvania! Bolivia! Nice to see you! We are The Black Parade, and America is so nice to be back in with you all, thank you so much. We came all the way from Draag, and, boy, is my liver tired. Let me hear you! There’s one person we must make noise for. The one who has brought us here, straight out of the MOAT, courtesy of The Ministry of Complementary Reconditioning: His Grand Immortal Dictator, please make some noise! Let’s see him! How’s he looking! I can’t see him, can you? He’s never looked better. What a handsome fella. And behind us, supporting us, The Draag National Auxiliary Band, please make some noise San Francsisco, Transylvania! Now! Shall we continue?
(before sharpest lives)
It’s time… it’s time… it’s time.
(before wttbp)
Ra, ra, ra, ra! I’m so important! I’m so important!
(after wttbp) (election i mean execution)
Hello! (laughs) Draagoshka, are you having trouble there? That feels strange. What making think you put it on the inside, huh? Oh. We can’t have this. So, I gotta apologise, I mixed up my words last week when we did this. I confused the word ‘execution’ with ‘election’. I messed that up completely. Let’s make it dark. The dark went out. So, yes. Made a mistake there. So, uh, yeah, it’s an execution, that’s actually what’s gonna happen. But, good news, San Francisco! You all get to vote on it. You decide! It’s up to you! It’s very dark. Okay, so, when you all, uh, came in, you got a sign? One side says yea! One side, says nay! But now we’re gonna decide the fate of these people. Now let me tell you their crimes first, you gotta hear this: they dared to question the longevity of our most beloved, and handsome, Grand Immortal Dictator. Can you believe that?! Such a handsome man should never have to deal with those things! Now, tonight, San Francisco, you only have to make one vote. You show me the yea, or you show me the nay. Are you ready? I’m gonna count to three. One! Two! Three! Everybody vote. I see an overwhelming ocean of red. I guess we’ll spare them after all. Okay, so, I guess we could just start taking them maybe off the stage…?
(phone starts ringing) (picks up) Hello? Yeah, you know, yeah, I- yeah, you know, stuff. Yeah, it’s next week, she’s gonna be 78. I mean, she likes the things any lady her age likes, she likes, um, hand creams and puzzles… yeah. Okay. Well, alright, well, I’ll see you then. Okay, goodbye. (hangs up)
Oh, boy. Roll. Ready! Aim! FIRE!

Please make some noise for Clarice Jensen, thank you Clarice. Also, please make some noise for our friends supporting us, The Auxiliary Band; Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and, Tucker Rule, from our friends in Thursday. Tucker… and make some noise for 100 Gecs, please. Really sick to be playing with them again. We’re My Chemical Romance from New Jersey. San Fran, should we go—continue? (cracking up) Should we go? I’m stuck in the other character. Alright, let’s fucking do it!
(before not ok)
Hell yeah! Fuck yeah! This song goes out to (someone)! (Gia?) A friend who’s out today! (something). Yeah!
(before summertime)
Yeah! Fuck yeah. How you guys doing? This is our first stadium tour, and we wanna thank you guys for coming. Right on. We’re really fucking appreciative you guys spent your night with us. So, um, fuck, it’s just amazing. Thank you. It’s fucking cool. It’s been a lot of hard work and a lot of fun, we wanna thank the crew and everyone that helped build this tour, so much. Um, I feel like we got, we got quite a few songs for you guys. Quite a few. But you may disagree. Quite a few, quite—but it feels like, you know, it’s robust. We’re playing a very special song for you now. I’d really love to see lights up in the air for this one, this is my absolute favourite to see lights for. You have red lights. This is great. All kinds of lights.
(before nanana)
Fuck yeah, thank you. Fuck yeah! I’ve been saying that to you guys a lot, sorry. So we haven’t really, uh—this is like cheesy rock show shit, I think—we haven’t, we haven’t really seen the crowd that much. You know? It’s like, usually really dark out there. So, I don’t know, what do you think? Could we just see them a little bit? A little bit tonight? You know, we’re—we’re professional showbiz people, but, it’s nice to see you. Look at you! Look at you. That’s really fucking amazing. Look at them. That’s fucking wild. Woohoo! Let’s keep this shit going! Killjoys! Make some noise!
(before deathwish)
Thank you! This’s off, uh, second record. Coming off hot. In a sec.
(before sing)
Fuck yeah! I’m gonna fucking (something). That thing amps me up. Man… think that was the first song we had written for Revenge, it was like, right after we finished Bullets. It was, like, floating around for a bit, just by itself. Gotta, fuckin’, we gotta put this on a record. Good news, America! We did! Delivered it to you. Oh, yeah, we’re gonna play something—I think we only played this once or twice on the, uh, reunion tour. Let’s do it. This song’s called…Sing.
(before bullet with butterfly wings)
Hell yeah. This is the first time we’re doing this next one. Um, it’s not our song, but it’s a song, um, man, there’s so many stories about this band. Not this band, the band whose song this is, but, uh, I had a religious experience with this song during the pandemic, and, uh, that’s um—I think that’s all I need to say about it at this point, right? Um, but, uh, we’re gonna maybe play it a few times on this tour, but, it’s really, really special to me and Mikey, and it’s really meaningful, and, uh, fuck it, let’s do it.
(before boy division)
Haha! Thanks so much, San Fran! That was a lot of fun! That went really well, I think! It’s—g—you get nervous playing other people’s songs, you know? Guh. Yeah, man, that’s a fucking ripper. Who doesn’t know that shit? Who doesn’t know *that* shit? So, we made, uh, we made a record that got scrapped, anyway, there were some really cool songs on it. It was really good, right, Frank? And, um, this is one of those songs, it’s a fucking banger, off Conventional Weapons. It’s called, uh, Boy Division.
(before helena)
(laughs) Fuck yes! (screams) The juice of life! Blood! (laughs)(gravelly voice) The juice…of life… is blood… drink it. (normal voice) We got a couple more left for you, thank you so much. We call this the red circle. *I* call this the red circle. I don’t give a—ooh, what do we call this? It’s just me. But in LA, we practice on this thing as well. I was, I would say, oh, let’s go in the red room. It was nice to have a red room. Felt really violent. it was really nice, and, it also reminds me of the lightsaber duel in Cloud City. ‘Sreal cool. But more than that! More than that, stuff is violent. And that’s cool. Alright, we’re g—(breaks out laughing) Let’s just do this!
(before kids)
This is a really special night, fuck yeah, you guys! Thank you! Think they’re all gonna be special, you know? They’re all g—they’re all gonna be real different, though. Cuz that’s cool. Yeah. (laughs) How you guys doing? It’s a beautiful night. The weather is um, really amazing here, I know that’s that’s, like, um, you know, bullshit? To talk about? But, like, you know, LA’s real hot. So like, it’s real nice here. It’s like the— I asked, uh, our tour manager, I was like, ‘are we near the ocean?’ And he was like, yeah. The whole coast is next to the ocean, man. Thanks for spending the night with us. We’re My Chemical Romance. This is our last song for you. Lights! Cuz it looks pretty!
