My Chemical Romance to cover Bob Dylan for 'Watchmen' film

Gerrard Way planning track for superhero movie

My Chemical Romance are planning a "pretty freaking cool" Bob Dylan cover for a film adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel 'Watchmen'.

The band's version of 'Desolation Row' will close the superhero movie.

When speaking to MTV News, director Zack Synder explained: "(Gerard Way, MCR frontman) is a super-great guy, and an awesome musician, and so we're trying to work with them right now to put together a song for the end titles."

Synder added: "I've talked with [Way] and I've heard a little bit of some stuff that's he's done and it's pretty freaking cool.”

The band interest in the adaptation, which come out net year, is not purely musical though.

"Honestly, he contacted me," said Synder. "Just as a fan, to say like: 'I hope the movie's cool.' And then we went, 'Hey, maybe we can do something.'."

Great. My favourite Dylan song (and that's saying something) made over by a bunch of emo fools. Can't wait.

You know, I'm a fan of that 'emo' band you shit talkers are talking about. Do you even hear or know how they're going to do it? Listen to it first. And Christ's sake, learn your fucking genre, idiots. I'm fucking 14 and I know my genres.MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ARE NOT EMO. AND I AM NOT A RABID FANGIRL. I just happen to be pissed at your idiotic comments.

You know what, that was sorta an immature answer to your immature, arrogant ways, Richieboon... Here's my better reply to your arrogance:"Yeah, My Chemical Romance is emo, they're not like some other bands who are dead with their music. That 'emo' band you're talking about, they set emotions to their music. My Chemical Romance are a theatrical band and that's what that makes them amazing. If you can't say anything nice, you should do the world a favor and fuck off."
