'Welcome to the Black Parade' is the first single and fifth track from My Chemical Romance's third studio album, The Black Parade. It was released on September 11, 2006, on iTunes and October 9, 2006, on CD. It is the band's eighth single. The studio version was available on Myspace on September 2, 2006. It was named one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.[5] The music video for the single was recognized as MTV's 'Greatest Music Video of the Century' in 2017.[6] The cover art of the single is the only artwork where the band appears, with the exception of the cover art for 'The Ghost of You', where they are shown as silhouettes.
An early demo containing elements of the song was titled 'The Five of Us Are Dying'.
Music video[edit]
The Black Parade as shown in the music video.
The video for the single was directed by Samuel Bayer, known for his work with Nirvana and Green Day.[7] The music video was released on September 26, 2006, in the UK and Canada, and was released on September 27, 2006, in the U.S. It was heavily played on MTV. It features the Patient (the main character of the album, played by Lukas Haas) dressed in a hospital gown, and being taken by death in the form of a 'Black Parade'. On the main float stands My Chemical Romance playing 'Welcome to the Black Parade'. Behind the float are dozens of masked figures.
All the costumes were designed by Academy Award Winning costume designer Colleen Atwood. The setting of the music video transitions from a hospital room to a surreal cityscape with ash-covered wreckage, black snow and destroyed buildings. The video features four of the main characters: the Patient, Fear, Regret, and Mother War. Mother War is the woman in the Victorian-era gown and gas mask. The video tells a basic version of the story behind The Black Parade quite closely[citation needed]. Gerard Way has said that it is 'the definitive video for the record' which 'summed up the album'. Radiohead.
In the music video bassist Mikey Way can be seen with a medal on his jacket. This is thought[according to whom?] to be related to his death in the music video for 'The Ghost of You'.[citation needed]
Promotion[edit]
The song became the group's first number one in the UK on October 15, 2006, staying there for two weeks, and later rose to number one on the Modern Rock charts on October 26, 2006, where it would stay for seven weeks. It is the band's most enduring success and their highest-charting single to date on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 9. The song ranked at number 17 on Rolling Stone's 'The 100 Best Songs of 2006'.[8] It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. The song was made downloadable for Rock Band and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. ITV used the song in a video montage in its final Formula One broadcast at the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, after losing the rights to broadcast F1 in 2009 and beyond to the BBC. The video featured several prominent F1 drivers (such as Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, David Coulthard and Sebastian Vettel) as well as ITV presenters (and retired commentator Murray Walker) lipsynching to the song.
The song was also used by the Los Angeles Kings during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs as part of a video intro at the team's home games. The song also opened the team's Stanley Cup Champions rally and banner raising ceremony at the Staples Center.
