My Chemical Romance cover of Bob Dylan on iTunes

My Chemical Romance have posted their cover of Bob Dylan’s "Desolation Row," from the Watchmen soundtrack for purchase on iTunes. Frontman Gerard Way also posted an extensive blog about the song on the band’s MySpace page.



Here’s just some of what Way had to say:

"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.

There have been other offers to do this kind of thing, and usually the timing always made it impossible, but more often than not the project never seemed to fit the band, and we have always passed. But when the chance came to do a cover of one of my favorite artists, Bob Dylan, for a film version of my favorite work of fiction of all time we had to jump at the chance.
