My Chemical Romance Court Watchmen

My Chemical Romance's remake of the Bob Dylan classic, "Desolation Row," is the lead track from the soundtrack to Watchmen. The song was specifically made for the movie, and appears on the Music From The Motion Picture Watchmen collection with previously recorded songs from Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix among others.

Video clip :

My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, who also planned a career as a comics illustrator, and Frank Iero talk about Watchmen and their contribution.

 My Chemical Romance On Being Involved In Watchmen

[Way] "After reading that, I wanted to be a comic artist. This new video to me feels very Rorschach, straight out of Watchmen." [Iero] "It's really weird to be doing it because we've been such huge fans of the Watchmen for so long, and now to be involved in that is kind of mind-blowing." [Way] "One of the coolest things is to be able to give somebody Watchmen for the first time and know they have no idea what it is... That's really exciting."

Aside from the collection Music From The Motion Picture Watchmen, there's also Watchmen Original Motion Picture Score, which was composed by recording artist, composer, and music producer Tyler Bates. Bates also worked on 300, and Dawn Of The Dead.

I like the song and think it worked for the movie.

[HGF]

yes, it worked for the movie, but think about that the movie takes place during the cold war, the rest of the soundtrack works better, I'd put the original by Dylan instead MCR one

[Innovision]

I would have preferred slayer.

[drooce]

I was pissed when I found out These ass hats had anything to do with the wacthmen. why didn't they just stick with Muse? or Smashing Pumpkins? they had a way better feel for the way watchmen was portrayed

[farfaraway]

It worked well with the movie and the cover is a good testament to Dylan.

[punXander]

hey that comes out today i think.... well in Canada... hmm i wanna see it either way.

[gdrocks2230]

this is not news... why do they post this?

take a bow by muse was by far the superior track for the movie in my opinion

You sir, are a tool...I honestly liked MCR's version of the song and I'm not really a fan of theirs at all. However, I definitely agree that they should've kept both "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" by the pumpkins and "Take a Bow" by muse on the soundtrack...keep all the rest of the songs and just add those two at some point!...with that said the music, filmmaking, character development and plot was AMAZING!...thanks to the makers of Watchmen...I've not left a movie theater that blown away since the first time I saw Star Wars...I highly doubt that will ever be topped haha but, Watchmen was a close second!

Yeah, the movie was not that great. My favorite part was when they played All Along the Watchtower.

I think they ruined a good Bob Dylan song. Sorry.

yeah not a good movie.

I can't believe you even begin to think there was character development in that movie, i felt like i was being dragged along the driest attempt at recreating a create comic. Also the story was butchered, if you had even read the book you'd know they changed the ending. THE ENDING FOR CHRIST SAKES! being a director trying to stay true to the comic, then changing the entire ending? fail.

[whitesummer527]

to that post before should say great instead of create, my bad ahahah

[Wesseem]

wut the ****!!!! how DARE they cover anything by bob dylan. bob dylan is a revolutionary and his lyrics always meant something. these useless mainstream no talent douchebags have no right to even attempt to cover any of bob dylan's music.

First of all, the ending BARELY changed. It had the same effect and the same outcome. The only thing that changed was how it happened, everything leading up to it and everything after it was the same.

And the change was logical. Like it or not, the movie is supposed to be WAY more accessible than the book. You read a comic book, your mind is geared towards expecting the absurd - not so in movies. I mean, you hear how much people hated the blue penis, imagine how they would have felt seeing an alien explode into the middle of NYC. The tiny change saved a lot of people from hating the movie for one thing.

Also, aside from that the movie was incredibly faithful to the book - the first shot of the movie after the opening credits was IDENTICAL to the first page of the book. Being so faithful, they're allowed to make a minor tweak like small adjustments to the ending.

[ndschroede23]

But yeah, I'm super disappointed they didn't put "Take a Bow" anywhere in the movie. It would have been perfect and epic too.

Thank you!...I was literally about to post nearly the same comment, but I see you've done it for me haha.

[Gemini]

Haven't read the book, but after seeing the movie, I'm not even interested. The only redeeming factor the movie had besides the music was when I stopped caring about twenty minutes in and just laughed my ass off the rest of the way.

I like the song alot and I like the original as well. I have yet to see Watchmen.

They contributed one of the worst covers I've ever heard.

i wasn't too big on the cover, but i bet it sounded better in the movie, for me at least.

[2mins2midnite]

i would like someone who know how to make good music for the film.
i.e. not MCR

[mckraf99]

The movie wasn't that bad at all it was really faithful to the comic except for the end, but it followed that same basic concept. I was just kinda disappointed in their awkward use of music in it. 99 red balloons and that hallelujah song during the sex scene what the ****?

[Conformist]

I love UG for the intolerance of opinion's, I liked the song to be fair, although I haven't heard the original.

[The_Paranoia]

Personally, I hate MCR with a passion. But you know what, at least they actually like Watchmen and the song wasn't done by someone who was only in it for the cash.

i agree. especially because the version in the trailer was mixed sooo much better than on the cd.

[drooce]

All you people who say the watchmen sucked are all idiots. The subject matter was obviously too complex for you to handle, and the fact that most people couldn't help but laugh at the nudity in the film shows their lack of maturity. Having said that, I found the music sort of misplaced and awkward like mckraf99 said. the trailers did a better job portraying the movies darkness than the actual movie. but the movie was good and well done.

Oh yeah MCR sucks

i second that
i think a Non-emo band/artist should of done it such as muse or chris cornell althought his new stuff suck's gorilla dick.

[drooce]

true

[jimmy_463]

Putting the argument as to whether MCR are good or not aside, the cover is a brilliant choice for the thematic side of the film. What is the first song of the film? A Dylan song. What is the last song of the film? A Dylan cover. What is the only thing that Dr. Manhattan cannot change? Human nature. Human nature is constant and cannot change, according to the film. It only strengthens this idea to have a song written by the same artist at both the beginning and the end. Even if the words are being sung by someone else, the ideas remain the same from start to finish. This was one of the most powerful moments for me - the realization that the film had brought itself right around to the beginning again. Bleak, but wonderfully directed.

You mean the retarded "mind**** squid" ending? The ending from the movie just makes more sense in the context of the story, even if does give Manhattan a real motivation to leave the galaxy, as opposed to his human alienation from the comic. I far prefer the movie's ending.

The cover is quite cool since I'm a big Dylan fan and MCR is alright in my book. But I don't know if it's just me or does it somehow sound like a Dropkick Murphys song?

[wicked_hobbit]

And although the soundtrack is undeniably suitable, I personally think it's too predictable to use Dylan, Hendrix and Simon and Garfunkel to portray the world war. And some people in the cinema just couldn't stop giggling at the blue genitalia. Get over it, dammit!

bob dylsn's song lyrixcs were used in the original graphic novel. they pretty much had to put those in. and the rest just go along with it. some on. how can you argue with k.c. and the sunshine band?

[Tapping_Ninja]

REally when I heard the song I didn't realize it was MCR until it got to the chorus and I remebered hearing about them doing that cover... It was atcually done queit well by them. I think people need to get off the bandwagon on bashing MCR... I use to hate them, but then I dicided to listen to a album all the way through by them. So I listened to their first album which was pretty ****in' killer. Seriusly you can't bash a band if you've only heard what's on the radio... Some bands you have to listen to the obscure tracks that no ones heard of to really get into a band.

As for watchman it had slight changes and the only ones disappointed where the fan boys who hate slight changes... After seeing it I really didn't like it all that much... But after a while thinking about the movie I relized it was amazing and I might have to see it a second time. Although akward sex scenes and blue dong kind of bothered me...

The ending was superior, instead of random giant alien it was actually tied to the characters and gave dr manhatten a real reason to leave.

Seriously, everybody should listen to their first album (all of it) and we wouldnt have all these bastards bashing MCR. And by the way, I am a fan of Megadeth, Thrash metal, And Neo-Classical metal and I think MCR are a good band. Im not to into their latest album that much but still a good band.

[abel1389]

the cover didn't suck, i guess. make that all of two songs by mcr that don't remind me of nails on a chalkboard. the movie was great, and the soundtrack (even with this piece) was great. I'm gonna stick to liking the pumpkins more though.

[TimK]

That cover was one of the worst things ever. Unless you're Hendrix, don't try to change a Dylan song.

[nickrawkz1]

Awesome. I love this cover. Now I muuust see this movie. lol

[GoldSoundzUKNZ]

i don't think it was a great cover, but hopefully all the kids who hear it on the radio may get into Bob Dylan. well, we can hope...

[BlackSymphony6]

you know what pisses me off? bloody comic nerds who hate the movie just because it was a bit different from the original story and then insist on sharing their angst with the rest of us. It was a good movie, get a grip.

agreed, that was as faithful as you could get to the actual story and you're only allotted so much time for a movie. that was damned near panel for panel movie adaption too and something tells me a giant vagina looking alien that teleports and explodes in NY would not fit with much of the audience

I disagree in a number of points. By changing the ending, the director has now rid the movie of any actual depth. Then again, the monster was rather confusing. Also, it would have been fun to see the movie released in 3 different parts.

[diesiraex]

Ok...(prepares "flame"-retardant suit)
I usually hate MCR and I haven't seen the movie but Desolation Row actually sounds a lot different (and better, in my honest opinion) to the other tracks I've heard.

(Oh, and apologies for the paranthetical comments...)

[Dr. Sedeuss]

Do you all remember what Dan said to Adrian when he told him that he had sent a GIANT PSYCHIC SQUID to New York?
"Adrian, that's bulls--t."
As cool as a giant mindsquid would be, let's be fair. It doesn't make any sense. I think Alan Moore knew that and it was just another way to turn the genre on its ear. Wasn't that always the really great part about Watchmen? The fact that it warped everything about superheroes, and then threw you a big tentacled curveball? But this is a movie, and a movie with a mindsquid just doesn't sell in today's market, because, as said, it just doesn't make sense. By turning that mindsquid into a bomb, it makes the film marketable and much less preposterous, and also (and I'm glad about this) gives the dudes who make those terrible "[Blank] Movie" movies less to make fun of when they decide it's time to put lampoon the thing, and all they have to fall back on is throwing in Rorschach, and having him be the Geico caveman or some shit.

As much as I think think the movie was almost TOO accurate to the book (leaving little room for the characters to, you know, breathe), it still managed to capture the spirit of the book, at least a little bit, barring the outlandish and really horrible fight scenes with Zack Snyder's tasteless slow-mo gore effects (which, though they were half the fun of 300, were just too out of place here).

Oh yeah, and even though I do, in fact, think My Chemical Romance is pretty neat sometimes, the cover was absolutely terrible, and whoever thinks they're Emo (not pointing any fingers), you should probably know that Bob Mould hates you, and that's pretty bad, considering. Also, Dylan is most likely the most covered artist of all time (kinda like that Hendrix cover of All Along The Watchtower in the movie), next to Leonard Cohen and The Beatles, so all of you who think that nobody should cover Dylan should just hush.

Their version is the worst ever, I never heard either versions of the song but after the first minute the difference between both becomes painfully clear.

Desolation Row is by-far one of Dylans greatest songs (It's Alright Ma', I'm Only Bleeding is a great one too). Having said that, i must say that i am very veryy displeased with MCR's cover of it, i only listened to this first 30 seconds or so of it before closing the site in disgust. This emo band should have nothing to do with Dylan in anyway. MCR ****ing suck.

[break-me-in]

I like MCR, but it's a piss poor cover. It worked pretty well the way it was placed in the film though, which I suppose counts for something.

Those slowmo effects were satirisation of the superhero film genre, I thought. The same way that the comic satirised other comics, the film satirised other films (e.g. the 60s heroes having shapeless material costumes whereas the modern ones have ridiculously high tech ones)
