10 Most Underrated My Chemical Romance Songs
5. You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
Okay, let's get one thing off the bat right now. I know how much a title like this song drives people up the wall. It was the mid '00s, and having full sentences as your song title was just the way we did things back then. If you decided to listen to more than just the name of the song though, you were in for one of My Chem's most adventurous songs yet.
After already proving their theatrical credentials on songs like Helena, Guys Like Us is a lot more balls to the wall, taking the punk rock influences they were drawing from and stitching them together to create a full on experience of a track in just a few minutes. One minute you'll find yourself listening to the guitars and then Gerard absolutely blows past them by sounding like he's about to tear someone's head off.
This is also a masterclass in dynamics, as if the band is playing with you by giving you chaos and then backing up to make the next hit hurt that much more. Once you can't take it anymore, it builds to one of the most chaotic climaxes that you can think of, with everything going off the rails until it crashes to a stop. Though the rock opera was to follow, this is when those dark elements really hit their stride.
