In somewhat surprising news, My Chemical Romance have confirmed that they are covering a Bob Dylan song for the soundtrack of an up and coming movie. This is not the first time a modern rock band have given their spin to one of Dylan's classics as Guns n Roses released Knocking on Heaven's Door in 1992 but my question is are My Chem good enough to pull this off?

I chose the 2nd option even if I'm really scared about this. God knows how much I love MCR, but Bob Dylan is not the kind of artist you can cover easily... I trust them to try interesting things anyway. I can't wait to hear what they will come up with (cause I already begin to develop withdrawal symptoms...)

i'm actually quite scared...MCR is good, but are they going to ruin the song?
I though FOB was good...and look what they did to Beat It. so, i'm biased.

I picked two but only because I didn't like the choice on one, and as long as they don't cover Don't Think Twice, Its Alright, I'm perfectly fine with it.

PS: Someone voted "Who's Bob Dylan?"

I'm going to go cry in a dark corner.

I don't think anyone else can do Bob Dylan !

I vote the first one . To all MCR fans , I'm really sorry but I can't see MCR covering Dylan . I didn't like the "Under Pressure" cover they and the used (?) did . I was kinda like this " O________O :S :S :O" when I heard it. But oh , well that is my opinion . lets hope i'm wrong . :)

a piece of me just die a little ....

I think it's a nice idea.
And I think they are capable of not butchering it.
I mean it's MCR for god's sake.

They do have talent.

aah i had to choose the first one.. seriously.. my chemical romance.. is that a REAL band? is that even REAL music?? i really do not think they are good enough.. or will ever be to cover someone as great as bob dylan. that is a discrase to rock n roll, music, and to themselves, and not to mention mr. dylan himself.. he deserves better, but of course all the bands these days sound like shit, and have no REAL talent. they sells themselves out to MTV as soon as their big enough, i'm not just talking about my chemical romance, i'm talking about them all. why do they even consider themselves rock and roll? aaahh.. idk i just think mcr should do themselves a favor and not do the song.. just an opinion! eeee

I'm not about to get hardcore with my keyboard but I do have a response to this.

My Chemical Romance IS real music.
My Chemical Romance IS a real band.
If they weren't a real band and didn't make real music, how would they save lives?


And if you think that every fucking band sells themselves out to MTV as soon as they are big enough, you obviously haven't heard HALF of the amazing music out there.

I'm not looking for a fight.

But you never know.

Green Day's cover of John Lennon's 'Working Class Hero' was actually good.

If Green Day can do a good cover of a legend, then why can't MCR?

the grateful dead already covered it
(& i think my chemical romance is more than talented enough to deliver an interesting version)
