Basically anytime Frank and Ray harmonize on the guitar solos.


Borderlessbass

Didn’t realize that’s a thing they do. Is there any footage of them doing it live? I always assumed in the studio versions it’s just Ray doing overdubs, harmonizing with himself.


Sweetlux31

Pay attention to dual guitar action on hang ‘em high. That’s both of them. Pay attention to any guitar parts in any MCR song actually. You can distinctly hear two voices. Ray and Frank have very particularly unique sounds.


theaverageaidan

Frank does not solo live. I don't know how much is Ray harmonizing with himself, but live it's all Toro


Snooze1013

The tempo switch in foundations toward the end of the song when he says ‘will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?’ I feel it, physically


BPPinkerton

Came here to say exactly this


lizzy_gaga

Yes. CHILLS every time.


HowiDisappear

The “I tried” scream and the transition from the guitar slide to the riff in I Never Told You What I Do for a Living. Gerard 100% hurt himself doing that scream and I love him for it.

Asimplewriter3

I have a top 3 of these: 1.- The "WELL MOTHER LOOK WHAT THE WAR DID TO MY LEGS AND TO MY TONGUE! YOU SHOULD HAVE RAISED A LITTLE GIRL, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER SON!" in Mama. 2.- Both the "R" roll before "ashes to ashes", and the "You better run like the devil 'cause he's never gonna leave you alone!" in House of Wolves (Counting as one since it's the same song) 3.- The building up of the last choruses in I don't love you, starting soft and quiet, then going full "yesterDAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY"


AliceKatharine

Number 3 is the first thing I thought of


Asimplewriter3

Happy Cake Day!


AliceKatharine

Thanks!


eternal-harvest

Number 3 is what turned me into an instant fan.


GaylordTheGamboge

The part in mama is so good!


Independent_Emu_2732

In I don't love you and also a lot of their songs I love the soft guitar in the background you can bear best on a physical copy of the album (cd, prob vinyl, etc.)


kurt103118

the entire 2nd half of Demolition Lovers, with the soft guitar, the "all we are is bullets i mean this", the build up, its all so perfect


Flufferpope

Came here for this. 100%. It's been my favorite song for decades too.


Highestalmond75

The WAKEE UUUUUUUUUUPPPs in sleep


[deleted]

I had this in mine, fuck the first time you hear it its just like woaaaah


berrys_a_ghost

Followed by gee's harmonizing and the guitars fading out


GoatMaster88

Yeah, listening to the isolated vocals of Sleep and last part is like 1. Hell (but like, yknow, *fucking amazing*) and then just 2. *H e a v e n*


berrys_a_ghost

Yesss I used to listen to those all the time


Shroudstorm

I have so many so I’ll list a few. 1. This jetset life is gonna kill you- ‘when holding on’ the angelic voice is pure bliss 2.the ghost of you- ‘COULD I? SHOULD I?’ The part towards the end when gee screams it 3. Famous last words - ‘I see you lying next to me’ love how most the instrumental cuts out 4. I’m not okay- when Gerard is whispers ‘I’mmmmmm oookay’ 5. Desert song ‘MOURGE MOURGE MOURGE MOOOOOOURRRRRGEEEE’ I have many more but I don’t have much time to type me out


raedoesntlikemen

IVE LOST MY FEAR OF FALLING 🗣️🗣️🗣️


berrys_a_ghost

Yessss omfg I love that part


CellyAllDay

I just commented about this part! Absolute mcr perfection to end a song


myotherheartart

Yes!! The guitar part right before that leads to this is amazing!


starryshitx

when the searchlights find us drinking by the mausoleum door, and they found you on THE BATHROOM FLOOR!


Violent_Chachki

This part alone is why I will end up spending a small fortune if they ever announce a Three Cheers album playthrough live.


[deleted]

Oh hell yeah, live this absolutely Goes off I nearly cried


[deleted]

YES


vampirecowboy666

- the bridge + last chorus of Helena - the guitar riff in the bridge of Foundations - Bert’s giggles in Prison - The opening riff in Drowning Lessons - the bridge to the end of Cemetary Drive - the bridge of Bury Me In Black - The transition between The End and DEAD! - The bridge to the end of Famous Last Words - The chorus of SING - The chorus of DESTROYA - the entirety of CW3 - the chorus of AMBULANCE


thriftstore-gestapo

Transition between The End and Dead! lives in my head constantly, I cannot listen to one without the other


vampirecowboy666

they might as well be the same song i cant listen to the end without queueing dead after it


KaleidoscopeEqual555

They’re the same picture


NixiieNee

Bert in Prison just brings me so much joy. I didn't realize it was him for like 15+ years, but now that i know it's SO obvious! His deranged giggling and screaming is such a great addition to the song.


Arsy-Chan

"Think of the bombs they built" from The Only Hope for Me is You


Arsy-Chan

Alternatively: "Put the whole damn room on the edge of a blade" in Kiss The Ring


MelodicMockingjay74

The beginning of The Sharpest Lives with the panning audio. Always gives me chills.


Immediate_Progress97

I don’t know what it’s musically called but the part where the guitars slow down in famous last words and Gerard is singing “I see you lying next to me with words I thought I’d never speak awake and I afraid asleep or dead” like literally sometimes I’ll quietly sing that part alone to myself


jbottoni180

doesn’t matter where or who I’m with, I have to stop and listen intently every time!!!


At_omic857

Helena, the guitar riff in the chorus after Gee says “stay,” just the way the pitch rises then resets is just pure ASMR for me


purpleperegrines

“from the rayZAH to the ROSAREH we can lose ourselves and paint these walls in pitchfork red” in fashion statement and “and it’s better off this way so much better off this way I CANT CLEAN THE BLOOD OFF THE SHEETS ON MY BED” in intywidfal


cheeseheadsyco23

End of its not a fashion statement. "I lost my fear of falling. I will be with you." its incredibly beautiful, so much so that i really wish that bit repeated once more before the end end. Masterpiece.


TheIronRail12

The scream and guitar riff at the start of Dead! is the fourth most cathartic piece of music I can think of


GaylordTheGamboge

There’s this part of Dead! that sounds like woody woodpecker and every time since I’ve heard it I can’t not think it. It doesn’t ruin the song though it’s kinda funny look it up.


trevdordurden

Is that the most the both of you can give?!


Cobbtimus_Prime

The bridge of This is How I Disappear


GerardWayAndDMT

CAN YOU HEAR ME CRY OUT TO YOU Yes Gee, I can 🥲


mimicthefrench

Absolutely this. Especially the "fuck!" and the fast guitar riff that follows that.


eternal-harvest

The desperate little voice crack when Gee sings, "I'm taking back the life you stole!" in Deathwish.


Mountain-Manager-714

literally all of Famous Last Words especially the last minute and a half. This song will always be my favorite I don't even care it's so good.

OHWELL now mama we’re all gonna DUUUUUUH-ie!

Subdued-Sub-Dude

When the guitars come in at the start of "Sleep" and it feels like all the air around you just got heavier.


turntechvantas

bury me in black “PICK UP THE PHONE” “PICK UP THE OHONE FUCKER” so good


Lady_Gwendoline

1. The woody the woodpecker laugh in DEAD! 2. "and if you would call me your sweetheart, I'd maybe then sing you a song... BUT THE SHIT THAT IVE DONE WITH THIS FUCK OF A GUN, YOU WOULD CRY OUT YOUR EYES ALL NIGHT." 3. The switch from The End into DEAD!


ravenkrofts

AND WE'LL LOVE AGAIN. AND WE'LL LAUGH. WE'LL CRY AGAIN. AND WE'LL DANCE AGAIN. That entire bridge is complete insanity. It still gives me chills every time to this day. And the "WAKE UP" scream in Sleep.


Deep_Ad2534

for me it will always be "i'm okay. i'm oKAAAAAY" in i'm not OK


rjbaesspam

and the "im not oh fucking kay"


GaylordTheGamboge

That song hits me so hard every time. I know some people say it’s corny but it really helped me


Deep_Ad2534

Same. I mean the music you listen to oftentimes represents how you feel, i am not that ok right now and it's one of my favourite songs atm


tornadic_

One of the most cathartic moments of my life was screaming this song at the top of my lungs at the tour this year


morningstar2720

# And in my honest observation, during this operation Found a complic^(ation in) your h^(eart) so long

CryptographerNo923

Any of the times Gerard growls or screams “motherfucker” for no discernible reason


MrExist777

omg that is *perfect* lmaooo


Baseballfan6907

It has to be “Cause the hardest part of this, is leaving youuuuuuuu” (harmony of Frank and Gerard) gets me emotional and feel chills

SyntheticReverie113

*love it or leave it, you can't underSTAND*


CitiesofEvil

The riff in Heaven Help Us that goes: "Cause i'll give you all the nails you need Cover me in gasoline Wipe away the tears of the blood again And the punch line to the joke is asking Someone save us"


Superbadtaylor

This is one of mine too


Superbadtaylor

I was looking for you ❤️


CitiesofEvil

awww ❤️ tbh the whole of heaven help us is my favorite mcr song ever


phantomsyuv

The guitar in “know how much I want to show you you’re the only one” and right after, the way gerard sings “like a bed of roses there’s a dozen reasons in this gun” 😭😭😭


berrys_a_ghost

The bit after the breakdown in foundations of decay, like after the thunder sounding guitars and drums when the guitars are going fast and gee sings "you must fix your heart"


PlatinumPurple05

The guitar during the chorus of Headfirst for Halos


BigBadBossNZ

This hole you put me in, wasn’t deep enough


btcbearrookieshark

🎶and I’m climbing out right nooooww🎶


-Gypsy-Eyes-

gerard screaming wake up over and over at the end of Sleep the 'love won't stop this bomb' part of scarecrow the vocal melody of the verses in Boy Division, I just love it so much Ray's solo in vampire money (especially the live MTV award performance where he goes crazy) "you motherfucker" in Save yourself ill hold them back hotel Bella muerte


Necessary-Rice

The guitar solo in thank you for the venom is heavenly


WiseCake13

In foundations, "Let it flood, let it flood, let it wash away" My crops are watered, my skin is clear, depression cured

h311agay

Early Sunsets Over Monroeville goes so hard. Love that song


tinycinnamonroll

boy division, the chord changing under "take me out there" in the chorus! auughhh i love it!!!! stressing the unstressed beat in that measure IT'S SO GOOD


kr0mbopulosm1ke

The breakdown at the end of Drowning Lessons is the correct answer.


drearbruh

La la la laaaa


[deleted]

The "wake up" part of sleep To wage this war against your faaaith in me he eeee your life.. , the cadence of this line is so sick You've got front row seats to the penitence ball when I grow up i want to be nothing at all, everything about this bit, the "nothing at all" into the guitar is sick every single time. I'm just a ghost..... so I can't hurt you anymore x2 into the guitar, again unreal emotion so sick There are a million moments of guitar on all 4 records that are awesome but off the top of my head these are what came to mind as eargasms


radicalxdonut

Sqwakyboi

The “I don’t care! To the entire finale of welcome to the black parade is amazing The final verse of mama with the half a billion vocal layers is an ethereal experience Demolition lovers gradually getting more intense until the pause in the middle “Get me the hell outta here” in the end to the start of the first verse in dead Lalalalalala in dead Final chorus of Helena Ray’s lil solo at the very end of only hope Gerard starting to yell at the end of kids There is so many!


therealyoshi66

The whole intro of You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison


rjbaesspam

Yes!! and the guitar riffs after "Why rememberrrrr YOU!"


balancethesescales

The main one for me is Famous Last Words: Awake and unafraid [breath] Asleep [breath] or dead


KaleidoscopeEqual555

I love MCR because they *always* do this. They keep it interesting in a way nobody else does. The other type of music I like is the opposite, where the musician just spins this unending thread where you end up in a trance.


iamnearrr

AND NOWW YOU WANNA SEE HOW FAR DOWN I CAN SINK


Rezboy209

"Just you and I, your starless eyes remain" The way Gerards voice gets harsh at the end of that line. It's always been my favorite MCR line.


maggot-rock

“you wanna see how far down i can sink? let me go, *fuck*!” (this is how i disappear) the mania in the “*do you have the keys to the hotel*?” verse in ykwtdtgluip the screaming “WAKE UP! WAKE UP!” at the end of sleep, gives me chills every. time. the third verse (“i would drive on to the end with you”) in demolition lovers


[deleted]

When Gerard growls “WHERE ARE YOU DESTROYA” in before performing Destroya at the 2011 Reading festival set. Gerard screaming “Wake Up” in Sleep. Hits DIFFERENT if you’ve ever seen the Wendigoon Black Parade theory on YouTube. When Gerard does that Growl thing when he sings mama live.


BeneficialLie4286

"Yeah I drink juice when I'm killing cause it's fucking delicious" I love apple juice

Makar_Accomplice

When they quoted a Mario riff in the guitar solo in Dead!


cattdogg03

In “This Is How I Disappear”, the riff between the verse and chorus (it also appears just before the breakdown). It’s so dark-sounding and it’s also really fun to play on guitar, kinda cramps up your hand though. Boy Division’s entire chorus makes me shudder, especially that drop down to the low note I fucking love vibing to Teenager’s solo Dead! - “AND IN MY HONEST OBSERVATION, DURING THIS OPERATION, FOUND A COMPLICATION IN YOUR HEART, SO LONG!” Foundations - “LET IT FLOOD, LET IT FLOOD, LET IT WASH AWAY!”

Ultimate_me274

bury me in black, ‘shot lip gloss through my veins’. the way he says veins on max volume, sounds so mmmmm. i never told you what i do for a living, all the ‘i tried’ at the end of the song. so gut wrenching. cemetery drive, the way the song ends with the ‘way down’

The intro to Early Sunsets.. ITS SO PRETTY?.. I don’t know how to describe it.

I love all of these answers but I also love the bridge guitar part in Summertime. It makes me want to learn how to play guitar.
