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.

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?
whaaa! | 8/26/2008, 10:34 pm EST
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.

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.
Felix | 10/7/2008, 11:05 pm EST
Calm down all of you.
Zack Snyder chose them for a reason.
Back off
jenny | 10/19/2008, 1:05 pm EST

MCR are the best no matter what anyone else says and their cover for desolation row is effin great
Curtis | 2/17/2009, 5:49 pm EST
I really hope that everyone saying good things about MCR is trolling.
This is two travesties in one:
1. Those dumbfucks covered Dylan.
2. They’re going to be associated with Watchmen.
Pissed off Puritan | 2/23/2009, 10:27 am EST
This is fucking ridiculous, Gerard Way is both ruining a classic Bob Dylan song (and yes I’ve heard it) and will be associated with The Watchmen bringing the movie down. Who the fuck are you people and why do you think that My Chemical Romance is so great? Gerard Way is the Brittney Spears of the emo world, he can’t sing and he’s all looks, try listening to Helena live and try not to laugh.
All you fucking MCR fan girls/guys, sorry my bad MCR male fans are the equivelant of women anyway, just need to step the fuck off.
La.La.La. | 2/25/2009, 8:17 am EST

Hey kid, shut your face hole. Gerald wants to write music, he writes shitty music. He wants to make a comic book, he makes a shitty comic book. And Earth to La.La.La., EVERYONE wants to be an astronaut. What have I done? Called your ass out, and that alone made me more creative.
Rebecca | 3/14/2009, 2:28 pm EST
Hell Yeah! MCR is th best n if ppl don’t like em oh well… on with their story.. i like MCR for some reason and they won’t change it with their comments. MCR is the best!
prinps | 3/16/2009, 2:44 pm EST
i wanna be fucking for gerard way rsrsrsrsrsrsrsrssr
yay4bobdylan | 4/5/2009, 9:42 am EST
I heard the song a little while ago.. seriously the worst cover i’ve ever heard. besides mcr only having one style that they apply to every song (and, unfortunately desolation row) they didn’t even capture the essence and feeling of the song. i’m so so sorry that bob dylan had to live to see a great song ruined.
yay4bobdylan | 4/5/2009, 9:44 am EST
oh and referring to a comment below, if mcr will be remembered as one of the great bands of our time, shoot me.
