MTV did an interview with My Chemical Romance, in which towards the end of the article it talks about how My Chemical Romance does not want their music in New Moon.

So, after knocking it out of the park with “Desolation Row,” are My Chem looking at a second career scoring films? Given their former, rather vampirish past, they seem naturals for “Twilight” sequel “New Moon.”

“I don’t think so,” Way said. “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, but I would disagree with that these days. Even since Black Parade, I would kind of disagree with that. I don’t know if we’d be interested in that.”

  • EduardaCullen:

    WTF

  • Nikki:

    Props to them for refusing a potential box office smash. I did like some of the songs Stephenie picked, though…

    They might reconsider. God only knows. I’d like to know why there’s so much hype about the soundtrack whilst the movie’s yet to start filiming?

  • ugh fine we don’t want you in NEW MOON anyway the soundtrack will be AWSOME without you!!!!!

    • pansy:

      youre right my chemical romance doesn't need to be in such a lame movie.They're already famous and don't need chip publicity.Let me just say that thank god mcr say'd no otherwise everyone that likes them would lose hope that they are unique.Plus whose ever heard of vampires that sparkle in the sunlight ?

      Keep on rocking my chemical romance
      To the end!

  • nolechick6=Rosalie:

    That is interesting that they would say no to something that could get their music into the hands of people that have never heard them.

    • pansy:

      Tell you the truth those "new" fans wouldn't really like my chemical romance they would't even be real fans.They would only like the song on the soundtrack.Plus that movie is kind of lame they screwed it with the movies the books are okay though.By the way Edward looks like a friggin zombie he's so pale and skinny i just don't get what bella saw in him.On the other hand Jacob is waaaaayyyyy hotter.At least his got a six pack and a nice ass.

      To the end!

    • chloeS:

      Yeah, but MyChem don't sell themselves…they like to get to where they're at because of their hard work and effort.

  • leahlu08:

    ok did they even cosider the fact that their fan base would probably double b/c of such a widely popular movie, you’ve got to be a complete idiot to turn down such a rewarding opportunity! they should be begging for a piece of this pie! the fact that they dont even want to try and consider a new song to contribute is dumb-founding and flat out dumb.

  • TWILIGHT OBSESSER:

    it will still be awesome without mcr tho..

  • They’re doing what’s best for them, so great =]
    And besides, they’re leaning more towards the Bullets days with the new album and whatnot, so a song from them in the depressing whiny New Moon wouldn’t fit.
    Way to go MCR. Stick to the punk roots of Jersey =]

  • Grace:

    I like MCR but i dont think thier music would fit New Moon anyway…

  • DeAna:

    dammit.

    still, i love them.
    bestest band everrr.

  • adrina:

    Its their choice but i also think that a vamprie movie would fit one of their songs. they got a offer they didnt want it. bad luck

  • Emsy:

    so why do they not want to when people like madonna and the jonas brothers want to get in on it? i’ll tell you why. BECAUSE THE FATES ARE CRUEL. XP

  • Emsy:

    i mean, i think their music would fit the movie, but those other people? like heck no. so, again, CURSE YOU, FATES. i hope you’re laughing.

  • Melissa Cullen:

    awe….Sad. Yeah I think they would fit too, in a vampire movie….
    But I think the real reason is that they probably think the Twilight movie is childish or something…Cuz of the disney nominations and all the Twilight merchandise its like High School Musical had all the merchandise. But they’re 2 total different things.

  • TEAM CARLISLE and Balehead:

    good. this is very good.

  • I’d have to agree with them if I was offered a place.
    And the Twilight series is somewhat childish.
    Besides, the kind of vampires they’re into most likely aren’t teenage rich kids brooding over love. That’s kind of dumb if you actually think about it.

  • woah major diva alert. It would be a blessing to be in new moon soundtrack and film I personaly think they should have -

    -Kelly Clarkson (my life would suck without you),

    -Skillet (Comatose and Say Goodbye)

    -Barlow Girls (never alone),

    -Linkin Park (numb and what I’ve done)

    - Frou Frou (let go)

    -Evanescence (my immortal and bring me to life)

    - My Chemical Romance (Helena)

    - Trading yesterday (love song requiem)

    - The Kin (together)

    - Taylor Swift (white horse)

    -Boys like girls (thunder and let go)

    - and Rob and Kristen should sing a song like ‘let go’

  • Ollie:

    I love MCR and I love the Twilight series but I don’t believe they truly go together.
    I agree with Hannah above me here, it’s not their kinda vampires.

  • Ollie:

    And I appreciate that they rejected New Moon with class lol. They’re always so polite. :)

  • I Have RCD:

    pshhh who doesn’t want to be in new moon? crazy fools :]
    well at least they said it nicely

  • Loveskellan:

    I don’t like them anyway.

  • Katelyn:

    Freaks. they’re complete idiots.

  • Chloe:

    booooo….that makes me mad.

  • Chelsea:

    i dont even like My Chemical Romance, i only like the Black Parade songs. they are stupid freaks.

    i love Twilight/ New Moon.

    :D

  • EDWARD'S ONLY LOVER:

    what i love my chemical romance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BR3NDA:

    Ohh MCR would do great in new moon i think :( But i really want the song Calm Under The Waves from Maria Mena in New Moon

  • wow. bratss. jk but why would they not wannabe in new moon. LOSERS

  • Chelsea:

    ahhhh u noe wat song fits best when edward leaves bellla

    WHEN YOU’RE GONE by avil lavigne its perfect

  • Rachel:

    that’s…. heartbreaking. My favorite Band turns down My favorite saga/movie series!

    ugh.

  • Lema:

    Awe
    Oh well
    Their my fave band though =/
    The soundtrack will be fine without them,
    actually amazing as always :P

  • jacqueline:

    its fine, i can live without my chemical romance on the next movie soundtrack. there are plenty of artists out there who would love to have their song on the soundtrack

  • Brianna:

    I love My Chem, they are my most favorite band, but Twilight’s vampires aren’t their scene.

  • Seriously, what’s the big deal?
    Oh no, a band rejected! How sad!

  • Lola:

    wow what ever I mean it is ur choice to turn down a MAJORLY (lol I know I spelt it wrong) big opertunity!!!

    And what “vampirsh past” lol

  • Simran:

    Yeah, it’s not “their” kind of vampires. I bet they really don’t care much for georgous, lovesick, teenage vamps. I also don’t mind that they refused (in the politest way possible), even though I adore their songs. Somehow I believe that they just don’t want to sell out. And let’s face it, anything that goes into a soundtrack will get like a bagaliion hits even before the film’s released. I guess they want to create their own way of increasing their fanbase. Although “Vampire Will Never Hurt Us” is a classic song that should so totally be in New Moon. =)

  • ashley:

    omg… comatose is perfect!!!
    but really MCR: WTF? just wtf.

  • crystal aka leah:

    whos my chemical romance?.lol.jk. i know who they r but i don’t know ne of their songs besides helena, i think,so whatev=]

  • boogirl:

    BOO! to the best band in the universe! if i didnt love new moon so much i would understand. my chem isnt really a commercial band, they try to stay as non-mainstream as possible, even when technically…they are

  • WHAT?! man! tori is not gonna like this. I,on the other hand,don’t care. i never really knew them that much either. tori is a big fan though.

  • FINALLY someone with their mind on the right place!!!!

    I would say no to them to, I don’t like their music… xD but I’m glad they are honest to addmit that this is not their path…

  • april cullen:

    NOOO !!! GERAD WAY U DUMBBUTT U GUYS JUST MISSED THE BEST OPERTUNITY 4 PLAYING IN A MOVIE!!!! I WOULD OF LOVED UR MUSIC IN NEW MOON!nooooooooooooooooo

  • Fusca:

    noo way!!!
    dammit that sucks
    it would have sounded awesome 2 hear them in NM

    but i can see where thy’re coming from. they’re the sort of band that doesnt want the ‘mainstream’ attention, if u get wat i mean

    but still. hope they re-consider.

  • Sarah:

    I wonder if many people realize that not all bands are about having huge fan bases MCR have all the fans they need and more.
    anyway being popular ruined my chem.
    <3

  • efilnikufesinpashnea:

    OMFG!!! this is so sad. they are my most favorite band and they don’t want to be part of my most favorite saga. Anyways, I have to agree with some of the people here. The Cullens are not really their type of vampires, if you know what I mean and it’s so nice of them to actually speak out the truth. Just proves that their not some corporate sellouts whose just trying to cash in on the goods. Hey, even ROBERT himself said that he will take a backseat for the next OST. But, if ever MCR will re-consider, I think “Vampires will never hurt you” will be a good song choice. “Helena” though, well I’m not so sure. Gerard’s pretty OC with that song since it’s penned for his grandmother.

  • star:

    mcr should play a song for new moon that would be so hot Rob also should sing more songs hes an awsome sinnger

  • Connie:

    Well they chose not to do it because they really thought it wouldn’t be right; at least they’re honest about it. I love MCR, but I also agree that their music would be a little too much for New Moon.

  • erika:

    okay..so im a huge fan of MCR forever..i understand why they don’t like any of their song in New Moon…i mean, MCR, doesn’t want to be involved in anything they don’t like or they’re not into..they’ve been very vocal about that…meaning, Twilight Saga is really not their stuff…
    and with MCR being honest about it…they just proved to me that they really are not a sellout band contrary to what others say about them..,
    though, as a fan of both MCR and Twilight Saga..i would totally be happy if they would contribute even just a song to the soundtrack of my favorite saga ever…

  • ~*j-nita*~:

    NEVER ALONE!!!! omg that’s an awsome 1 for NM!!!! YES!!!!!! SAY Goodbye is a good one too

  • kate:

    DEAR CHELSEA,
    lrtugieufisufiue bubble fudge..your the freak you jerk..and moron by saying you only like te black parade is admitting you like them to begin with..becouse they are the same band. they are not freaks your just stupid

    as far as the movie, they probibly just don’t want to have a song that causes them to become “that band with the song from new moon”

  • iluvmcr:

    to bad…

  • MCR~GERARD:

    hey dont be hating on MCR! i understand why they refused because they dont want to get into all that make believe crap again!the black parade was very fictional and they said they needed to get back to reality.i love twilight and new moon but i dont think people should be hating on anyone just because mcr turned down new moon BOO FREAKIN HOO!get over it the past is the past so shut up and respect thier decision its new moons problem and ur whining wont change thier mind!!!!!!

  • MCRChick:

    If My Chemical Romance ever got involved in childish Twilight, I would lose all faith in music. Yeah, MCR would have more fans but their new “fans” would only know them by New Moon and that’s not really being a fan, if you ask me. You people say they just lost a great chance with a ” great” movie but I say they saved themseleves from the worse. If MCR ever said yes then they would be just as worse as any other band in the Twilight soundtrack. They have runied every band there. Thank you Gerard for saving the world’s greatest band. Thank you for having taste!
    My Chemical Romance to the end !!

    Twilight has runied Linkin Park and Muse for me. I don’t want them runing another great one. Boo everything with Twilight! It’s just another High School Musical.

    • pansy:

      I totally agree with you.my chemical romance saved themselves.Theyre the kind of band that don' take bribes from fake vampires.That's really smart of them i wouldn't want to remember them as 'the band in NM soundtrack'.Plus they don't need that kind of publicity they've got a new cd coming out soon.
      By the way u guys know frank iero got married

  • I agree with MCRChick.All of those bands became nottest only because they put the’re song on the NM soundtrack.So mcr saved themselves.How? becaause they refused!I really doubt they would want to be remembered as the band in NM soundtrack.MCR is the kind of band that don’t take bribes from fake vampires.They want to be famous from they’re own doing.That’s what makes them unique.
    By the way anyone know anything about MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE new cd?

  • OH MFG!
    sorry i always wanted to do that.Back to reality.The deal is that who cares if my chemical romance said no to that shity movie (sorry if i misspelled shity) why are you twilight fags so upset? If new moon is as popular and amazing as you say it is why does it matter that my chemical romance said no? Look i used to like twilight but then i realized what a pig Robert Pattison is and what a slot Kristen Stewart is.Though i never got obssesed with it like some bitchees i know (looks to the comments above mine)So what im asking for is leave mcr alone they don’t need that kind o cheep publicity!

  • pansy:

    I apologize for my foul language on my recent comment.I'm just so mad that people make such a big deal out of this my chemical romance vs.twilight stuff it doesn't really matter does it? i mean come on new moon hit the box office with just a week of it's realise (sorry if i misspelled realise) so why does it matter so much that my chemical romance said no? I guess i'm apoligizing becaus deep down i still really like the twilight saga.BUT i love my chemical romance way more i mean theyre real i actually went to concert and they saved my life plus they inspire people to NEVER take anyone's shit.But i don't agree with the twilighters i don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings and well the actors are just doing they're job right? so just drop it PLEASE it really sucks that so much people hate my chemical romance just cause they refused to put a song on the soundtrack. So just leave them alone please.Oh and chelsea youre dum. the black parade is from mcr wich makes you a fan even if you only liked that song. If i were you i leave another comment to clear that matter.
    KILL ALL YOUR FRIENDS (that's by my chemical romance a hiiden track on the black parade cd)
    So long and goodnight.

  • YAY!
    Thank god My Chem said no to NM.I mean come on they’ve got a new record coming out soon they dont need al of that chip publicity. They’re way more talented than those lowlife actors.Plus one of they’re guitarist formed another band called leathermouth. It’s really cool.Anyways congrats for MCR. At least now we know they’re not some chip sellout band.(by the way Frank Iero,my future husband,is the front man of the band leathermouth)so all you haters FUCK OFF!

  • ChloeS:

    I think Gee really held himself back from saying what he really thought about the movie. I'm guessing he didn't want insult everyone who likes Twilight and if he had we (his fans), let's admit it guys, would have gone to war with Twilight just because of him.

  • I appreciate you discussing this site article.Much thank you. Want more.

I remembered the first day I’d come to Forks High School—how desperately I’d wished that I could turn gray, fade into the wet concrete of the sidewalk like an oversized chameleon. It seemed I was getting that wish answered, a year late. — Bella Swan, New Moon | Chapter 6
