It's worth the buy
Being a Bob Dylan fan for so long...I was really ready to hate this. I mean I love MCR, but I have not grown up with them. I have to say though, that I don't hate it. It's really good. It makes the song modern and gives it a whole new energy and life. Well done boys..well done. ^^
mcr does it again!
this is a great cover of desolation row. my chemical romance seriously needs to put some new stuff out soon :]
PUNK IS NOT DEAD!!!!
This is everything punk should be: loud, grungy and grimy, fast-paced, and totally INSANE!!! Heck, Mikey Way is even wearing a shirt with the British flag on it!!! I LOVE the song and I LOVE this video...watching the guys get into fights with riot police...LOL...that's as good as the Teenagers vid! Plus, the band's look is halfway between the old Revenge style and the new, which is sooooo rad...I love Bob's hair. ^^ But I digress. THIS VIDEO ROCKS!!! (And get the song too. HEADBANG!) DISCLAIMERS: First off, I am not a rabid My Chem fan. I liked their music and think they're rad, and that's it. I do not think Gee is sexy or that all their stuff is amazing just because they made it. (Example: This Is the Best Day Ever? Not so good.) So you can't say I'm biased. Second: YES Gerard knew what he was doing, AND he knows the song. Quote him (from their blog/site): "Now, I would consider myself a pretty big Dylan fan, especially after having worked with Scott Allie on my comic, as he really got me into him even more than I was before. And while I didn't want to alter the song at all, I found that I had to, due to the new approach and the aggressive nature of the cover. There was simply no way I felt you could make it feel like a trashy punk song and play it for ten minutes...I think it's impossible to keep that kind of energy up without either burning out or boring yourself...So back at a hotel in Arizona I sat in a hotel and did a rough arrangement, which clocked in at around 2:40, and I paid careful attention to the lyrics, while losing some of my favorite verses I managed to keep the ones I felt were represented by Alan Moore in the comic." Third: This is not a video with screaming fans. This is a video with violence and anarchy. Like, IDK, the violence and anarchy the Watchmen faced? This IS a movie-based cover/vid... Fourth: In response to the reveiw entitled "EMONESS"...yes, you are stereotyping. And what the heck do you mean, "What's desolation row anyway?"?! FYI, it's a song written by a dude named Bob Dylan. If you don't even know what the song is about, why the heck are you reveiwing for it?! Annnddd I'm done.
