As most of you will remember, My Chemical Romance released a powerful video for “The Ghost Of You,” off of Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. The video portrays the band as soldiers during WWII. Unfortunately for Mikey Way, he dies at the end of the video during a gruesome battle.
However, the story of Soldier Way doesn’t end there. In fact, his narrative spans all the way to 2006’s Black Parade. For some My Chemical Romance fans, they have just noticed a massive Easter egg that references Way’s fate in “The Ghost Of You” on MCR’s Black Parade uniforms.
For The Black Parade era, My Chemical Romance were decked out in their iconic black-and-white uniforms. However, if you look closely, you will notice that Way’s uniform is slightly different from the rest of his bandmates. Subtly pinned to his chest is a medal, an object that does not appear on any other member’s uniform.
The small detail is, in fact, a reference to “The Ghost Of You” video. Since Way died in the video, he earned a military medal for his service which is pinned to his Black Parade uniform.
