anthony Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 What happens when a douche band covers one of my favorite Dylan tunes? For the movie soundtrack to my favorite graphic novel? Answer: My Chemical Romance "Desolation Row" Uggghhhhh.... I was fired up to see the Watchmen trailer. Looks very promising. Like the dude gets it. Even the retro Pumpkins song worked perfectly. But this? Gotta re-think the whole thing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnes Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah, I heard Dylan requested MCR do a cover or something, i hope that's not true ( but kind of interesting if it is), this is awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Any cover of Desolation Row less than 10 minutes long is not Desolation Row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'll have to check this oput when I get home, can't get the stream here at work. DR is one of my favorite dylan songs. This should be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 There is no way to talk about this without being hyperbolic and I dont want to say anything that will offend anyone. But just know that if my thought dreams could be seen they'd probably put my head in a guillotine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I just got a chance to watch & listen and you know, I'm not offended by this. The main reason is that the song is pretty unrecognizable. But my kids like it so I'm not really gonna knock what they like and it definately is a different take on the old classic. A take I never ever woul dhave imagined could have been done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm not really offended either although it certainly does not work for me, I didn't make it through the whole video. Hell, maybe it will turn on some people to his music or at least his lyrics that would never have listened to him before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 the song is pretty unrecognizable. To put it mildly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThisIsNowhere Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I cringed when I saw the banner for it on iTunes. It wasn't as bad as I thought but it's good in the sense that it's introducing Dylan to a new generation of fans Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 To put it mildly! Remeber Bob did a version of Masters of War on TV once that was more un recognizable than this cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
