My Chemical Romance to Cover Bob Dylan for “Watchmen” End Credits

7/24/08, 6:11 pm EST


We know My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way likes comics. Luckily for Way, the director of Watchmen — the movie based on the Holy Grail of graphic novels — is a fan of My Chemical Romance. And everyone likes Bob Dylan. Thus, director Zack Snyder has recruited MCR to cover a Bob Dylan song for next year’s Watchmen. The song will likely play over the end credits, with Snyder telling MTV “[MCR will perform] like a cover of ‘Desolation Row,’ or something like that.” Earlier reports had MCR covering Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” As the film takes place in the decades prior to 1985 and is adhering to the Forrest Gump method of soundtracking, My Chemical Romance will be the lone post-Reagan artists appearing on the soundtrack. That didn’t prevent Snyder from putting the Smashing Pumpkins in the trailer, however.

Zack Snyder chose them for a reason.

I agree with the people below me. Idk if you’ve ever heard mcr’s cover of desolation row, but it’s awesome. anything they play is awesome. I’m with mimechoir, what have you ppl done? Gerard is the most talented person i can think of.

i don’t think people realize that mcr IS one of the greatest bands today. keep an open fuckin mind. just remember that these guys in mcr grew up listening to the music some of you close minded idiots claim cannot be topped. get over it. whatever sounds good music is music. your music was critizied once by an older generation too.

Gerard is one of the most talented people out there today. He wants to write music, he writes it. He wants to make a comic book, he makes it. If he came out tomorrow and said he wanted to be an astronaut, i’d believe him. Hell, I’d start the countdown. All the people complaining about this, what have you done?
