Actually it's not a new song, it's a cover song, but it's the first music we've recorded since Black Parade. As we are gearing up to start the next album I wanted to pop in and talk about the track we were asked to cover for the Watchmen film by Zack Snyder. Firstly, I'd like to point out that we have never recorded a song for a film. We have allowed a couple of our songs to be used in trailers or end-credits, but since we are usually pretty busy with either recording or touring there has never been time to do something like this before, and even this was kind of tight, as we started it before even finishing our last tour"...read Gerard's entire message You can find more news related to Desolation Row in My Published Romance MCR shoot video Bob Dylan cover Date: December 24th 2008 Recently, MCR shot the video for Bob Dylan's cover Desolation Row - which is going to be part of the Watchman movie's soundtrack - in LA!

Gerard Way: 'I Think We Needed To Be Away For A While' Date: August 13th 2008, source: mtv.com Last month, MTV News broke the news that New Jersey's own My Chemical Romance would be recording a cover of Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" for Zack Snyder's forthcoming "Watchmen" film and that the song would be the soundtrack's first single when it hits stores this winter. That's cool and all, but what about the band's next studio effort? When can we expect that gem? Well, not for a long while. See, My Chemical Romance have spent much of the last few years in promotional mode — touring, doing press interviews, shooting videos, etc. At the moment, they're in what frontman Gerard Way dubbed "go live" mode: They've all put MCR on the backburner as they pursue outside interests...read more

MCR to cover Bob Dylan Date: july 25th 2008, source: mtv.com Now that we’ve all seen the dazzling first trailer for next year’s 'Watchmen' flick, it has officially become my most-anticipated movie of 2009. And the news just keeps getting better, as director Zack Snyder has revealed exclusively to MTV News that the only post-1985 song in the film will feature one of today’s hottest bands. “My Chemical Romance is absolutely awesome,” the “300” director revealed. “And Gerard [Way] is a huge fan of ‘Watchmen’.” Like the classic graphic novel, Snyder’s film will span the decades utilizing a Forrest Gump-like soundtrack of period-evocative music from the turbulent Sixties, the me-decade Seventies and the awesome Eighties. But since the film ends in 1985, Snyder’s music needs to be capped after his Hendrix, Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel tracks have had their moments. Finding a way around the limitation, Snyder has launched plans to head into the studio with the emo-punk powergroup behind such hits as Helena and Welcome to the Black Parade...read more This news is brought to you by the MCRF News Team.
