I know things have been quiet around here lately – I’ve had Uni exams! – BUT I have just installed and am in the midst of uploading lots of MCR videos to our brand new VIDEO ARCHIVE!
If you have anything to submit – youtube links of interviews, live performances, let me know and I’ll add it to the archive!
Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance has hosted a segment of G4 Television’s Fresh Ink program and spent his time talking about some of his favorite comicbooks as well as the influence of critically acclaimed comic writer Grant Morrison.
Way, who writes The Umbrella Academy, when not performing with MCR, spoke highly of “The New Frontier” (DC Comics), “Kill Your Boyfriend” (Vertigo), “Zombie World: Champion of the World” (Dark Horse), “No. 5″ (Viz Comics), and “The Biologic Show #0″ (Fantagraphic Books).
The Black Parade must have been tired of marching.
In 2008 My Chemical Romance were absent from our sight for good reason.
Three years of incessant touring and touting of their operatic third album The Black Parade exhausted New Jersey’s theatrical punks.
Our first glimpse in more than 12 months comes in the form of Desolation Row – a Bob Dylan cover set for inclusion on the soundtrack to forthcoming comic book movie The Watchmen.
“Movie stuff has come up before and we never get to finish it or do it,” says lead singer Gerard Way. “Usually it doesn’t get with us anyway.”
‘Life changing’
But The Watchmen is different – Zack Snyder’s film set for general release this spring – is one close to the heart of the band. Way’s in particular.
He first discovered Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal graphic novel aged 15.
“I picked up the graphic novel and it was real life changing for me,” he says.
The new video for “Desolation Row” is officially out today. It’s directed by Zach Snyder himself and has lots of visual hints to the upcoming Watchmen movie. Click here to get it now!
