tresexy101 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The only thing I didn't like about the video was that Billie was wearing such tight pants and yet I could not see a bulge. I give it 4.5 potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to take your post seriously here (even though we are all- myself very much included- subject to over reacting at times). In the moment of right now, it actually might be. It's a huge, huge song, one of their most powerful in recent memory. This is probably a better post for the song discussion instead of the video thread, but I think it's worth thinking about. I never have a true "favorite" song, but I always have a short list of top songs that has stayed relatively consistent (Westbound, Scattered, Letterbomb, Deadbeat, Pasalacqua, Suburbia, Christie, Blast, Brutal Love, JAR, etc.). The list stays pretty similar year after year and some of these have been favorites for decades. I think I know myself pretty well at this point, and I can honestly say that I could definitely see this song in this short list 10-20+ years from now. Add this to the fact that we're in this triumphant moment of return for this band, and how this song is directly reflective of and inspired by Billie's survival. This was the one song that he really used to acknowledge and celebrate it. Yeah, this one cuts deep. It's an amazing song on any level, and in the context of the last few years, it has to be catapulted to near the top of their catalogue with the deep meaning attached. So, while on the surface any "greatest song ever" proclamations seems like a quantum leap...in this case it might be correct. I think it'll take me a decade or two to say with absolute certainty that it's the greatest ever...but you're on to something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertain my nerdiness for a second and just let me remind you that our observable universe (which is freaking huge and we will never know anything about at all) is, from our theoretical calculations at the lowest limit, roughly the size of an atom compared to the observable universe in context of what we think the total unknowable universe might be. Therefore, the observable universe (47 billion light years across), is at an absolute minimum only 1x10^23 of the total of our individual universe (and according to physics there might be many, perhaps infinitely/ eternally so). So it's hard to say it's the best in all space and time, but even then...in the gigantic abyss of what's out there, how lucky are we to have this band as part of our lives?

Scattered, Letterbomb, Suburbia and Brutal Love are certainly waaaay up on my list as well. This song really does cut deep, and the music video is worming its way into an emotional part of me for sure. About to go watch it again. 1 minute ago, TimmyChunks said: Haha- love it.

That Dude Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 So we get the child, the ambulance, the soldier, skip the junkie (either the soldier or Billie could be this one as well as the other things) the son without a father, the mother barely keeping it together. I'm super excited about this song and video, but like Billie said about this song, eyes are forward. Next single is going to be a fast song. So much good materiel to choose from! For a faster single it could be: RevRad, Say Goodbye, Bouncing off the Wall, Youngblood, Too Dumb to Die. My vote is for the latter, but I think I'm in the minority on that one.

Still waiting for a lyric video for TDTD. That song is awesome because it has the power+sound of any song on Nimrod. I don't know if it will be released as a single because it has not the potential of BB or SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 10 hours ago, pucky said: I love how this video is reminiscent of Good Riddance, which was also focused on multiple stories and characters and transmitted perfectly that desperate, existential anguish that I have always felt in Green Day music. That feeling of "the world is fucked up, I am fucked up, but that's okay, that's the way it is and I keep going no matter what". Great observation! Makes me enjoy the video even more.

DeJennsitized Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Youtube has been around for over 10 years and their view count feature is still fucked up would love to see the views accumulating in real time! Had a look and my counter currently says 537k views. Not bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at 565K views right now and #12 trending. Most of the other trending videos are on the election.

DeJennsitized Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If I remember correctly the Bang Bang video didn't have much fanfare when it was released. This one was much better promoted (like, what better way to show it to the masses than the EMAs?) so it'll definitely do better than Bang Bang.

EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Fantastic video! Looks stunning and I would say their most personal video. Clearly deals with Billies struggles and the video is pretty literal with image and lyric. I'm not sure what people were expecting. If it strayed from the point (like Bang Bang video did) people would moan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End Of The World Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Guys, the video has been on YouTube for just 24 hours and its views are now pretty close to 650k. I bet that next week (November 14th) it will have the same number of views of Bang Bang music video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola17 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well, Bang Bang was first released on Facebook, so it lost about 24hrs worth of views right there that could have been seen on YouTube. Oh, the views will easily surpass Bang Bang, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
