My Chemical Romance started writing the song since their start as a band, although in a differt style. It was inspired and heavily influced by Frank Sinatra's My Way, was slower, and was called The Five of Us Are Dying. The band did not include it in their first two albums due to their feeling it was incomplete. After moving to Los Angeles to make their third album, they added a fast punk beat, changed the lyrics, and altered the chords of the chorus. The recording process was very complex due to the many layers in the song but fun, according to guitarist Ray Toro, who extolled the d result:
My two favorite tracks are 'Welcome to the Black Parade' and 'Famous Last Words'. 'Welcome to the Black Parade' is like our 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. It’s probably the most epic song on the record. I love how it came together.— Ray Toro[11]
Toro used a Les Paul with a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickup. His Marshall DSL100 amplifier broke down during preproduction, so instead he used a Marshall JCM800 borrowed from producer Rob Cavallo. The JCM800 continued to be used for the recording sessions, since the band liked its loud and ball[sy] sound.
