Every My Chemical Romance Single Ranked Worst To Best

2. Vampires Will Never Hurt You

Compared to the band's later releases, I Brought You My Bullets... stands out as an exceptionally raw record, featuring moments of great noughties punk energy somewhat held back by poor production value.

While a number of the fast-paced punk songs might be unrecognisable to fans of Three Cheers... and The Black Parade, Bullets nonetheless offers some glimpses into the theatricality that would come to characterise My Chemical Romance's later career.

Effortlessly distilling the tone of an entire horror movie's soundtrack into five and a half heart-stopping minutes, lead singer Gerard Way maintained that Vampires Will Never Hurt You was his favourite MCR song to play live.

And really, it's not difficult to see why. An early example of Way's signature storytelling, the band's very first single is a high energy track MCR have only since surpassed once.
