Watchmen Update [New My Chemical Romance Video]!

As you guys know from my expressing it in previous blogs, I am very excited for The Watchmen movie, but I am also almost equally excited for the soundtrack. But, first thing is first: the movie.

Many people have been asking about its release date. Despite court controversy between WB and Fox (read), WB still intends to release the movie on the originally scheduled date of March 6th. Whether this will remain so, we have yet to see, but I want to talk about tunes, as always.

The soundtrack for The Watchmen movie is scheduled for release on February 24th, and will feature My Chemical Romance's cover of Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row". Those of you who have read the graphic novel will know that this song is quoted at the end of a chapter. My Chem were asked to record the song for the film's closing credits. So, you know I'll be the one in the theatre lingering behind for the credits.

A couple weeks ago, the band recorded a video for the song. Those around the set in L.A. reported having seen angry extras fleeing the building in which the video was mainly shot. Because of Watchmen director Zack Snyder's directing the music video, confusion spread as to whether the new My Chem video was actually extra shooting for the movie.

I can't wait for the video nor for the soundtrack! This is all so very exciting, especially to us MCR fans. I was fortunate enough to see the band play their Dylan cover at one of the shows I went to on their 2008 tour. On the second night of their playing in Chicago, they treated us to a little "Desolation Row". I couldn't find any really good videos from that show, but I found this clip of the song from their Vegas stop in March (which I almost went to, but ended up having extreme plan-changes. Grrr).

Keep watching for Watchmen updates. As soon as I can find a track-listing for the soundtrack, it will be here.

My Chemical Romance Mystery Twitter Accounts

Image
Shortly after the cryptic change of My Chemical Romance's website, a strange Twitter account called "Dr. Death Defying" appeared. It was followed by only NewsAGoGo and a friend of the band when it reached out mysteriously to one fan, who tipped everyone off. It was later followed (then subsequently unfollowed) by both Ray Toro and Frank Iero. Things got weird. Here's how it's going down so far... September 3, 2010 Dr. Death Defying : Look alive sunshine. Shits all fucked up in the zones. Dr. Death Defying : Words are gasoline, motorbabies Dr. Death Defying : @thankthevenom Look alive... Dr. Death Defying : @thesnackfairy There are more pills produced in Battery City than grains of sand in Zone 4. -- NewsAGoGo : complete blackout. generators on stand-by. noise outside. screaming. static. sounds like...like, robots dying... -- Dr. Death Defying : @thatkkbitch Answer: Popping nitros near Wolfblood Beach will break more than your heart, it'll ...

Dear Bob Bryar: In Honor of Dixie

Image
"I don't even know what happened to my best friend and miss her more than anything in the world," Bryar tells PEOPLE. "The devastation I feel is beyond words." Source: People[dot]com According to People[dot]com, My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar recently received a devastating shock when, a week after sending his German Shepard mix companion to a trainer, he received her cremated remains without a clear explanation for the dog's death. The drummer is filing a lawsuit against the trainer, who has changed the story of Dixie's death multiple times and who acted without Bryar's permission to cremate her. My Chemical Romance fans are well-aware of how much Dixie meant to Bob, and some of us even became personally attached after his blog series and frequent twitter updates in which he shared stories of their drive across the country together to get home. Bob rescued Dixie from a Southern shelter, inspiring her well-fitting name and, from what we have s...
