THE DROP
My Chemical Romance just dropped their 2010 BBC Radio 1 cover of Pulp’s “Common People” to streaming for the first time *. It’s the second preview from the *Danger Days* deluxe edition hitting July 10th *.
WHAT TO KNOW
- Recorded live for BBC Radio 1 in 2010, shelved until now *
- Part of the *Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys* deluxe reissue *
- First preview was a live “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” from the same BBC session *
- MCR’s touring through 2026: Black Parade European run, US dates August–October including Louder Than Life, five-night Hollywood Bowl residency, Southeast Asia in November *
THE TAKE
A 16-year-old live cover finally escaping the vault says more about deluxe edition filler strategy than artistic urgency, but MCR taking on Jarvis Cocker’s class-war anthem in their *Danger Days* era at least makes thematic sense. The real question is whether a live BBC session from their most divisive album cycle will remind anyone why they care or just pad the tracklist between the Hollywood Bowl shows.
