Episode 86 - My Chemical Romance "Famous Last Words" Guitar Cover

(Headphones or Stereo Speakers Recommended 🎧)

In Episode 86, I cover My Chemical Romance's song "Famous Last Words". My daughter compiled a list of songs from mixed CDs from when she was younger and this was one of the songs on the list that I first listened to a few months ago. It's great to discover new music (to me) even though it was released 17 years ago.

"Famous Last Words" was released as the band's second single on January 22, 2007, from their third studio album, The Black Parade. The music video premiered on December 12, 2006, on MTV2 and on December 13, 2006, on the Much Music program, and on MuchOnDemand in Canada.

The official video for "Famous Last Words" was filmed before the band had even named the song, and the day after they filmed the "Welcome to the Black Parade" video. The music video shows the Black Parade float that the band performed on in "Welcome to the Black Parade" burning and destroyed. The rest of the background is scattered with burning props from the "Welcome to the Black Parade" video, and fire is seen all around. This is where I came up with the fire and burning background concept for my video.

This is my second My Chemical Romance cover as I covered their song "Helena" in Episode 33 in 2021.

Shout out to my good friend "The Tone King" as I wear his shirt with pride. If you haven't checked out his channel and you're into guitar gear, you will not be disappointed. I have been fortunate to meet some really great people on the YouTube platform as well as in the guitar community, and I have to say that he is one of the nicest and most genuine people you will ever meet.

Gear used in the video:
Ibanez Nita Strauss JIVA JR Signature Guitar recorded through my Eleven Rack. Recorded, mixed, and arranged through Logic and Final Cut Pro. I use the Moises Music App to remove some of the guitar parts to record my own playing.

I use Ernie Ball Strings because I want the best like Paul Stanley, Jimmy Page, Billie Joe Armstrong, Angus Young, Joe Bonamassa, and Paul McCartney to name a few.

Thank you for your support of the channel and for keeping the music that created the soundtrack of our lives alive and well.
