So on the new version are videos not going to be under jump cuts?

IanIsSuperRad (February 3, 2009)

I said this in the other thread but suprisingly, I don't hate it.

I thought of them too. I don't know if that's good or bad.

MattRamone (February 3, 2009)

I bet in the next video they all just dress up like Watchmen characters.

I'd hate everything too if I looked like Rob Zombie's dad.

branden (February 3, 2009)

haha. i'm with him on this one though. have you ever seen the mindscape of alan moore documentary? it's nothing but him talking for an hour and a half, yet it's somehow both awesome and interesting.

So what happens if there are multiple videos on the main page now are they all going to start playing at once?

FelixT (February 3, 2009)

Too bad they don't sing more than half of the original lyrics. It's not bad, but way too repetitive.

miniblindbandit (February 3, 2009)

take that bandwith.

They should have had Rorschach come out on stage and skank around, sort of like that skull guy that Less Than Jake used to have. That'd make Alan Moore's beard catch fire for sure.

I never noticed it before..probably because I never paid attention...but the lead singer looks like a life sized Chucky (from the movie Childs Play) with black hair.

i paused bob dylan for this??

MN_punkmaster-skaman (February 3, 2009)

And just like the first time I heard My Chemical Romance five years ago, I was immediately turned off to the band once Gerad Way began to sing.

hhrules (February 3, 2009)

I paused youtube videos for this

Holy_Balls (February 3, 2009)

their first album owned when i was 15. once i turned 16, meh.

american_666_jesus (February 3, 2009)

Do they do a full 11.5 minute cover on the LP?

Rudy87 (February 3, 2009)

hmm... surprisingly, its not that bad

Gerard looks like such a deuchebag

and sounds like one too.

Dudley_Shale (February 3, 2009)

I like it. In fact, I don't mind MCR whatsoever.

wishihadasocketset (February 3, 2009)

meh....this isn't bad. But i think it has more to do with bob dylan being an amazing song writer than MCR being a good band.

...I just puked all over myself

kickinoutthejams (February 3, 2009)

This is surprisingly unterrible.

I still really like a few songs on their first album. Since then their covers have been the only tolerable things that they've done.

jlee562 (February 3, 2009)

The only person who's really covered Dylan and made it better is Hendrix. Everyone else, I can pass one.

This one fucking sucks.

thanks for ruining this song for me, my chemical romance

TwitchyIsAPunkRocker (February 3, 2009)

Seriously, it's pretty standard issue sounding, not that terrible, nothing to write home about, just surprising considering their usual fare They still look like a bunch of twerps and the "punk rawker" posturing in the video is almost as bad as the "punk rawker" posturing on this page.

stephenmorelock (February 4, 2009)

bah.
if they had written this song, i would say "meh."
the fact that they ruined a perfectly good bob dylan song makes them bigger assholes than everyone already probably thought they were.

reject (February 4, 2009)

uhhh... no thanks

vaginalinferno (February 4, 2009)

haha. it's like they made this one for you punknews! this is 100% a punk song. it's like rancid or antiflag or something.

guess the only thing to do now is be too punk for it anyway huh?

Autosuggestion (February 4, 2009)

It's coming out March 6. Fox and Warner Brothers reached an agreement many weeks ago.

SouthernLovin (February 4, 2009)

Oh, dammit. This is actually pretty good. They cut it too short though, that's kind of stupid. Wonder if the extended version will be on the official release of the soundtrack?

DrGunn (February 4, 2009)

this should be punishable by death.

BloodDeathAndGlory (February 6, 2009)

I wish there were more lyrics, and its a lot less pretentious than Black Parade. So go MCR
