My Chemical Romance - Helena (Outtake Version)

Gerard's facial expressions deserve an Oscar.

this video is basically listening to helena over and over, just at different angles.

gerard's facial expressions...... he really is a whole artist

Gerard was born to be a performer. The amount of emotion in his expressions really convey the song perfectly.

All I can hear is "Yeah, frank was too short to even carry it. He was just touching it. He's actually taking a nap right now, too. Thanks, Frank."

You can see the Gerard feelings and emotions through his eyes.

Frank cracks me up, his energy AND how he’s facing the wrong direction half the time

If my funeral ain't like Helena's funeral, i ain't dying

Gerard is the most expressive person that i ever seen in my whole entire life

23 minutes of Helena? I'm not complaining.

i love when gerard looks like he’s about to just eat the mic when singing

Can we talk about how good Gerard's eyeliner and eyeshadow looks in this

*God giving out expression to everyone
Mikey Way : "Dont want em, give mine to Gerard please"

Stop doing this to me MCR, you’ve played with my heart one too many times.

I was an extra for this and it was SO cool. I’ve never stopped being a fan. That was a long day shooting. We were asked to come in a dark funeral style wardrobe then they added hats and some other stuff. I was able to have the entire band sign my white undershirt when filming was done. One of my best memories

I love how Gerard, Mikey, and Ray are all staying within a 2 feet bubble of their own space and Frank's walking around the whole freaking church playing the guitar like a madman

**listens to Helena for **23:07** straight**
me: good but could’ve been longer

He is so expressive
He's showing more emotion in this video than I will in a month

12:20 to 13:20 was so emotional like omg I started crying.

The person acting out Helena is just amazing! Seriously, those dance moves are amazing, so are Gerard's facial expressions..

*black eyeliner slowly appears around eyes, fringe grows back, marches to hottopic while crying because mom doesn’t understand*

Seeing this makes me realize how badly we need HD reuploads of these music videos.

Why is no one talking about how beautiful the choreography is? 🖤

This song was made for Gerard’s grandmother, Elana. You can see the emotion in his eyes, it’s strong

See what im always amazed at is how despite how greasy and wet and messy Gerards hair is, every flip and every strand seems perfectly placed and never looks bad. How

excuse me it’s 2am and i was not prepared im gonna cry

4:09
Gerard: wipes his hair behind his ear
Hair: falls back
Gerard:

re-watching this and i saw some of y'all commenting that his acting skills is superb.
Gerard's expression here was so convincing bcoz he doesn't have to act at all. This song is abt his grandma, his grandma who introduced him to music. And there's this interview that they had difficulties in shooting this MV cuz Gerard couldn't stop crying for his dead grandma.

Can we talk about Ray for a second
Nothing specific
Just Ray Toro
I l o v e R a y

i looked into his eyes and felt my soul leave my body

The "dead" ballet dancer (Helena) was so magnificent, and also the choice to have her pull the "camera" towards her is genius. What a God tier video.

I know everyone's said it but Gerard is just overflowing with emotion to the point it's like I can feel it. He's so expressive and I just love when people are expressive especially in a world we live in that views emotions as weakness. I love everything about this band and this song

Gerard's eyes are literally everything 😭

It's 2018 and they still get new fans and they still insipre new generations of kids and make them feel good. It's not the same as when they were still a band but their music seems to be timeless. I fucking missed this

I wish to achieve the level of theatricalness and emotion that Gerard has in this video. Also, his hair, but that's a whole other thing.

I can NOT get over how much of a good performer Gerard is 😭
He makes you feel all the emotions he’s feeling through his eyes & facial expression I can’t forget the rest of the boys their energy in this video is INSANE and just ties it all in everything about this video is perfect it hits you in the gut every time 🥺

The awkward moment when you think that this is footage found by a fan, reposted from a fan account along time ago. But it takes you fifteen minutes to realize that this was posted on the official channel. I’ll go home. 😂❤️💀🙌😭

You know you're a huge fan of MCR when you get excited over OUTTAKES of their videos.

18:47 Gerard looks like a 3D character in a video game.

gerard's facial expressions those eyes say everything when he stays close in the shots i can feel it kid 🖤🥀

i can't believe i just essentially listened to helena over and over for 23 minutes
wait
I can believe that

FALL OUT BOYS ALBUM, MCR IS REALISING VIDEOS
*MY FRIENDS THIS IS A DAY TO REMEMBER*

only Gerard Way can go from:
Teary adorable marshmallow to
Anger boi that's actually terrifying in .2 seconds

5:49 I have always tried to master Helena's dancing.. I have never achieved that..

Anybody else just have their heart stop when MCR has 5+ new uploads at once?

yo what if Gerard, Mikey, and the rest of the band are at home chilling, and then they get a notification that this video was released and everyone is just furiously clicking on it trying to know wtf is going on lmao

In 2:07 you can see that frank is only touching the coffin with his hands and that his shoulder is good 20 cm below it 🥺🥺🥺

Was anyone else just staring at Frank being the insane and amazing human being he is the whole time???

Doctor : you only have 23 minutes to live
Me :

I want Gerard at my funeral😂like everyone is crying and Gerard is just like “THINGS ARE BETTER IF I STAY”

At 10:22 some hair goes into Gerard's mouth that just won't come out xD It stays there for the rest of the shot, poor Gerard bro

Do you ever just start having a small meltdown because Gerard is just SO PRETTY? Cause that's me right now

The woman who plays Helena is such a good dancer that she only needed one take. #Amazing

Gerard is the queen of sass I swear

I'm a camera operator, and I am just LOVING these shots. Especially the one from 4:40 to 5:08- I would loved to have seen how that was shot! This entire video is incredible!!

Imagine Gerard being an actor .. for sure he'll have Oscars

Frank was too short to carry the coffin, lol, that's precious

I wasn't prepared to cry when I saw the notifications.

you guys still have a huge ass fan base even after being broken up for 7 years. this is sill my favorite song. it will never not be

20:01 that entire sequence with the dancers is phenomenal! The choreography is so fluid and mesmerizing!

i’m 100% sure i shit myself when i got this notification

dear god revenge era gerard is so hot

12:37 was special you could see and feel the pain in Gerard's eyes through that performance

This video & song are just an absolute masterpiece. The theatrics, the punchy, wicked, jet black and blood red color schemes, the operatic theme, the morbidly sexy, vampiric make up, the dichotomous relationship between the church setting and the
anathema of damnation ambience, the exquisite choreography, the show stopping beautiful ballet dancer, Gerard's fantastically passionate facial expressions, the heartwrenching romantic lyrics, the radical musicianship of every musician, the harmony of all the instrumentals, the emotionally captivating singing and the gorgeous painstaking melody. "Palmarius" 👏 ❤

I gotta die so this can be my funeral

I think I'm in love
With both Gerard and the girl who plays Helena

When he said so long and goodnight at 7:29 and waved his hand I nearly died laughing ngl

No homo bro but Gerard Way is so pretty it hurts

I'm pretty sure the first few minutes is just Gerard eyef**king the camera 😂

OK Guys, Listen...I am a 57 yr. old grandmother. I have your albums on my MP3 player. I go to sleep every night with my player on. No, you're not the only band on it, BUT you are one of the best bands on it! Please, can you do an old woman a favor? Just one reunion tour? Is that way too much to ask for? Many other's feel the same. We know yall went through some hard and rough times....we all have, believe me. My 2nd home is the hospital. Your music "got into us, helped us better than any pricey therapist. You made it ok for us to discuss and disgust. You romanced us way past any lust." Please come back..just once...for us! Grandma's know best...

I swear at the height of my obsession the internet was not even a thing. My preteen self would have died for this back in the day lolz

the way he moves around is so epic

I thought I would never see an MCR notification in the rest of my life :'c

6:47 - they all are an actual mood. Like, ray is just doing his stuff, gee's insane, mikey's just so damn done with life, and frank is... Well, he is frank.

2:04
I love this because you can just see Frank underneath it instead of helping hold it 😂

12:56 Omg Ray's head almost fell off.

This company's doing two things right now.
1. Making Money
2. Placing bets on how much we'll freak out.

We didn’t sneeze but we’ve been blessed

5:40 this emo girl is pretty beauty when she's smiling.

Bro how could you have needed more than one take? Gerard is a legend at this. 23 minutes if Helena is a gift.

Gerard never fails to be the most extra person on this planet

95 people disliked because they thought the band was getting back together. They missed the like button because they couldn't see through their tears.

Choreography is underrated, what an amazing job all of these guys did

11:03 woah he pulled like 5 facial expressions in one second

How the hell did NOTHING from 12:20-13:20 make it into the final video? That's some of the most emotive performing I've seen from Gerard.

and in the interview for umbrella academy, he said he is a camera shy..XD I love this guy

Frank threatening to kick the amp over at 9:40 LMAO

i remember when this said "one month ago", that was around the time i found mcr, geez..

*I AM C O N F U S I O N*

7:33 Synchronization of Ray and Frank, I love it

Every time Gerard takes a step down while holding the coffin, I'm scared he's going to trip and fall down

Gerad's eyes are so beautiful and I cant believe he was crying

*rocks back and forth in a corner crying and singing the lyrics*

camera: _starts zooming in_
gerard: _crazy eyes!!!!!_

The loss of his grandma really took a toll on him; carried guilt over not spending more time with her, too. He even became suicidal during his grieving process + the recording of the album. As you can see, the filming of this music video was truly emotional for Gerard, but he said it was also very cathartic.
To think, the same thing almost happened with his brother, Mikey, post-band break-up. Similarly, Gerard expressed guilt over not being more supportive of Mikey through the songs, "Brother" and "Piano Jam"--if you look up live performances of the latter, you might come across the one where it ends with him looking like he's trying to keep it together. And this was _after_ Mikey had survived his overdose; if this footage is evidence of the state Gerard was left in by the passing of his grandma, I'd hate to think the effect it would've had on him had he lost his literal soulmate.

I wish we could all just go back in time. I miss these days. Seriously. All this shit going on in the world. This was my happy place. Fucking miss it.

I thought I was over it, but not. Stop playing with my heart.
Although that kiss at 11:04 gave 10 more years of life.

*finds black eyeliner at the bottom of many draws* hello old friend. We're needed again...

love how he gives it all on every take. and that they colour coordinated their guitars.

*that synchronized head bop though* 8:06
