My Chemical Romance Not Interested to Make Music for 'New Moon'
See larger image

reveal to have no desire of scoring music for "New Moon" despite their Gothic rather vampirish trademark appearance, which is considered as natural for the "" sequel. Frontman says, "I don't think so. We're very choosy. ... There were a few films that we didn't do the song for because it didn't fit."

"I guess a lot of people would say that a vampire movie would fit," Gerard explains further. "But I would disagree with that these days. Even since '', I would kind of disagree with that. I don't know if we'd be interested in that."

Apart from their refusal to make music for "New Moon", My Chemical Romance have exclusively recorded a cover version of 's 1965 song "Desolation Row" for Zack Snyder's forthcoming blockbuster movie "". They also have been busy recording new songs for their not-yet-titled album, which is promised to bring -typed sounds.

TWILIGHT IS A DUMB OVERATED MOVIE MCR's songs are million times better then the shit in the twilight movie besides if they made a song for new moon they'd turn into another shitty "harry potter" band like paramore when ever some thinks f paramore, TWiLiGHT pops up in their head. We wouldn't want that to happen to mcr?

This article is a fail. 'have no desire of scoring music for "New Moon" despite their Gothic rather vampirish trademark which is considered as natural for the "Twilight" sequel' Twilight being Gothic is natural? HA! Twilight is nowhere near to gothic. They sparkle, damnit. SPARKLE +twitchtwitch+ Okay, now with that out if the way, I don't think MCR's style of music would fit. Not their genre, I mean who they do their music, that style. It just doesn't fit. But right now I'm thanking my lucky stars that they're not interested. I have a new love for them now.

i dont hate twilight and i love my chemical romance. twilights okay, its just so stupid how everyone is so obsessed with edward cullen. LIKE PLZ! perfect and being a romantic stalker million year old freak is sooooo BORING! (werewolves do it better anyways ;]) im glad they denied it, soundtrack stuff usually get famous, and u dont want a bunch of teenies to start listening to MCR. from the beginning i knew that if they were asked they would turn it down. there is actully a live show footage on youtube where frank makes fun of twilight (the movie) :) so yay! cuz mcr can do better than tennies obsessed with sparkling cold freeko's

Woah! As I'm reading these comments I can't help but to laugh. My opinion is that MCR was very correct in turning down the offer, "Twilight" isn't that special, and I don't think that they should put them selves down like that. It's just not fair. MCR has real talent, and real meaning. Not just a bunch of overly-obsessed teeange drama queens. I love you Gerard! And congrats! ;)

no matter wat, my chemical romance is still gonna rock, i'm serious... they are the best. the people at twilight are just a couple of pussy-faced lozers with nothin' better to do than bother the greatest band. they probably already knew they would refuse, i mean, it doesn't take much to figure out that my chemical romance is all business, and not just for a stupid movie! (even though i can't wait to see new moon!) peaz out!

Yeah, I love MCR and Twilight... But their songs aren't right for the movie. And not ALL Twilight fans like Edward cullen/Robert Pattmyass. He's a ****ing loser.

Well said, Gerard. I don't *hate* Twilight, but I don't really have any appreciation for it. The book was one-tenth decent, though I didn't enjoy it, and the movie was just lame. I honestly don't see what's so special about it; it's just another teenie-fan book as I see it. And while some of its fans ARE intelligent people (I have lots of friend who are into it (*rolls eyes*)), it's just been entirely taken over by teenies. My Chem, on the other hand, are an intelligent band who make intelligent music and have intelligent fans. They have a purpose, they're different, not just the stereotypical shallow shit that's so popular these days. MCR is far too mature to place within such an immature story such as Twilight. I'm glad Gerard stayed so nice about it, but I honestly have to say I'm very proud of them for turning it down. Good job, guys.

Fuck yeah! Smeyer fails so much at writing. Thank you SO much for refusing. It would just be the same thing that apparently happened to Paramore and Muse, though I'm not a fan of either. If only MCR was around when the 'Salem's Lot miniseries aired. THAT would win. Oh, and btw, VAMPIRES SHOULDN'T SPARKLE.

awww! it wouldve been great if they did it cuz im a big fan. but hey, i like my chem too.and the vampire thing WOULD fit but,what gerard says....goes.but my thing is that,THEY INSPIRED NEW MOON! I MEAN ITS ONLY RIGHT! well anyway,Gerard is cute XD and MILEY CYRUS IS A F***ING SLUT THAT DOESNT DESERVE TO BE IN THE SOUNDTRACK!

HAH! Gerard cracks me up. "Very choosy"- he is the only guy cool enough to use such a lame expression. Anyway, I love Twilight and I think it'd be awesome for them to record a song for the soundtrack, but if Gerard said no then that's the end of it. I like My Chem WAYYYY more than Twilight, anyway. So whenmariasparks and everyvody else who wants to trash them, get a life and move on. He said no and that's that, so it's not happening. Let Miley Cyrus record the music for New Moon or something. I'm sure she'd do it if it'd expand her audience. At least My Chem has standards.

Good choice Gerard. Just coz Stephanie Meyer loves them doesnt mean she can have them record a song for her.i mean, there are tons of other MCR fans out their that i think Gerard would say no to, or if your lucky yes.But dont make a big deal out of it. (am i making any sense, coz i had to much coffee this morning) xD

well, i think mcr can probably consider that... just take paramore and linkin park for example..they are still rocking bands after all..

I'm glad MCR has recognized that the direction they're going with their music is different from how it could be interpreted in a teenage-aimed romance such as New Moon. I find it wrong to think that their music would be perfect for a vampire movie simply because of some songs' close association with the creatures. And, while songs from MCR may include common themes as the Twilight series, I believe that it is right to respect the band's wishes to interpret their OWN music and use it how they see fit. The music's intended meaning may be different, perhaps more mature or defined, and it should be an obligation for one inspired by said music to understand that. I would be bummed, too, if I made something my inspiration said didn't match their meaning. But the one thing I wouldn't do is hold it against them. SO DON'T MAKE IT PERSONAL, OBSESSED TEENAGERS OF THE WORLD!!!

Just because Stephenie Meyer is 'such a huge fan of them' doesn't mean it has to be the other way around. MCR is an amazing band in my opinion, and Twilight, before it became what the entire world is talking about, was a decent book. But now it's shit. I see that damn book with that damn apple on it everywhere. Good for MCR. And they're not douchebags. At least they stated that they don't like Twilight in a nice way.
posted by mandy on Feb 25, 2009
yeah thank GOD they're not recording for New Moon. I used to love that series until it became a huge ta-da. Now it's obnoxious and ridiculous. Everyone's like "OMFG EDWWARRRRD CULLEN!" it's fucking stupid. THANK YOU MCR. P.S. WHo the hell cares is Stephanie Meyer like's them? She can't get everything she wants.

Twilight is shit. Thank christ MCR didn't record a song for that crappy book anyway. And Smeyer claiming they inspired her crappy book is just crap. Their songs are a million times better than that stalker-sparkly-vampire-crap. Argh.

I think that Gee was right - twilight isnt the right movie for MCR. it is aimed at sad teenagers who obsesses over "Edward Cullen" aka Robert Patterson. MCR are alot better than that. Good for you, Gee! xxx

My Chemical Romance are too good for a stupid movie like this shitty Twilight stuff. They're not douche bags, they're just being honest. It won't fit. Maybe that twilight writer could get miley cyrus to play for her xD

"Dont fit" LOL Obviously this was a diplomatic excuse to avoid scary Twilight fans fury. I bet they dont like twilight.Though I dont blame them. I would choose thousand times make a song to Watchmen movie than Twilight sequel.

well done,Gerard !! You are way good for that trashy movie.
posted by whenmariasparks on Feb 20, 2009
what a bunch of douche bags. stephenie is such a huge fan of them, and a few of their songs inspired her to write the books. i don't understand how they 'don't fit' stfu gerard whipe off your puss makeup and go get a haircute!
