THE BLACK PARADE IS COMING!To our friends,
The Black Parade is Dead! is coming. We are really proud of it and hope you love it as much as we do. Unfortunately, because we are perfectionists and would never let anything get to you that was not the very best, it has been delayed by a week. There was a strange glitch in the Mexico City performance due to some electronic something or other. But it is fixed.
So now it is going to be in stores on July 1. To all of our pre-order and special packaging buddies, you will not need to do anything different. It will get to you in tip-top shape. We saw the special package last week. You are going to be so happy if you already purchased this. If you didn’t, we’re sure you’re a happy person anyway, but wow is this incredible. We hope that all of you understand and thank you in advance. It is really awesome to know that you will. We will keep you updated on things as they come. We will start writing very soon.
xoxoxo,
MCR

Late last night I got the email, as I am sure many of you did too. The DVD/CD combo was up for presale at 1am central time this morning. Well, being the obsessive person I am, I ran right over to theblackparadeisdead.com and nearly had a heart attack before I finished checking out in the online WB store! My heart was jolted back into rhythm when I saw the final price… $70 and some change. This was with shipping and all. You might say, “well you didn’t have to order the limited edition.” Oh but I did! I mean they know how to get ya. They know what to do to make you want it all, and they know we love that band so much, we are willing to spend our lunch money or grocery money to get it! 🙂
I have poked around a few online bulletin boards and fan sites. The concensus is general… “The limited edition is way to high!” This is what is being screamed (written in all capital letters) around the internet. And don’t get me wrong for a second, it stung a little when I mashed the “complete order” button this morning.
So here is my question. Did you buy the limited edition? Are you happy with what you are getting? Did you say “eff that” and buy the regular CD/DVD combo instead of the limited edition?
Just wondering what all the MyChemicalFreak readers have to say!
Your friend in brokeness,
Brandi 🙂
NEW SITE! Yes folks as you read in the official statement from Reprise below, www.theblackparadeisdead.com is up and ready to go!
ON MAY 5th, the official trailer for The Black Parade Is Dead, will premiere on that site. GO, JOIN, BOOKMARK!
BE READY!
Direct from Reprise Press Release
BURBANK, CA — 05/01/08 — For those who missed the opportunity to see My Chemical Romance live at one of the more than 250+ shows touring in support of their highly acclaimed MULTI-MILLION-selling 2006 album “The Black Parade,” or for those who want to relive soaring concert moments, let the celebration begin. My Chemical Romance will release a live CD/DVD called “The Black Parade Is Dead!” on June 24th on Reprise Records.
The package captures different sides of My Chemical Romance by spotlighting two very different shows. The CD and DVD feature concert highlights from the huge Palacio de los Deportes sports arena in Mexico City on October 7th, 2007 and the intimate Maxwell’s club in Hoboken, NJ, on October 24th, 2007. Both shows demonstrate why critics have raved about The Black Parade World Tour, which began on February 22nd, 2007, and will conclude with a triumphant sold out hometown headlining show at New York City’s fabled Madison Square Garden on May 9th, 2008.
The discs include live tracks from the Mexico City and Hoboken shows, including the band’s smash singles “Welcome to the Black Parade,” “Famous Last Words,” and “Teenagers,” as well as tracks from their 2004 album “Three Cheers For Revenge.” The DVD was directed by Adam Rothlein, whose previous long-form credits include DVDs for Green Day, Disturbed, System of a Down and All-American Rejects.
Beginning on May 5th when the website goes live, fans will be able to pre-order “The Black Parade is Dead!” by visiting http://www.theblackparadeisdead.com, where they can also view a trailer for the DVD. Anyone who pre-orders the album from this special website will also gain access to downloads of three DRM-free tracks from the Mexico City show: “Welcome to the Black Parade,” “Mama,” and “Dead!”.
“The Black Parade is Dead!” will also be released in a collectible, limited-edition version, which will feature the CD and DVD, plus a mask designed by one of the band members, in a pine box coffin. (Each band member has designed one mask, which has been selected for inclusion in each box at random.) Another CD/DVD bundle also includes an exclusively designed t-shirt. All special editions are available only online at http://www.theblackparadeisdead.com.
At 15 months, the Black Parade World Tour is the longest and most internationally comprehensive headlining tour that My Chemical Romance has played to date, featuring multiple legs around the world.

It has been brought to my attention that the original message about the DVD/CD combo delay is, in fact, an accurate statement. It was made by Warner Brothers Music in Spain. AbsolutePunk.com is reporting it to come out in June/July.
Trailers from the DVD will be put out in April instead of the release of the entire combo.
I will let you know as more information becomes available.
My Chemical Romance All the Time!
