herewegoagain Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Remember this summer when we were (well, I was) fangirling over Billie's "punch a nazi" speeches and hoping he'd be inspired to write some kickass topical music? It's happening now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh100_3 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Seriously everyone, make sure you give 'They Live' (or any john Carpenter film for that matter) a watch! Seeing my favourite band collide with one of my favourite movies was quite a trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Best video anyone's done in a good while, even if the song is kinda nothingy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This morning I was making coffe while I saw Jeff's tweet (thank you man) about the video. I was like "what?!" This video is brillant! I love it so much. I wish it was longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Instant classic and everything I love about Green Day!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚 Funny, silly, honest, truthful, bouncy, catchy and the video could have come straight out of Nimrod. This is the best of everything Green Day has to offer and it has got me so pumped for the next album!!!!!! They struck the perfect balance here of serious and goofy and that is not easy to do. Wake up America!! Now where do I buy those truth glasses? I need to watch this again and again and again... (I forgot I love that little fuck you smirk he gives at the end) Don’t forget to post links to social media. This video deserves to be spread around! 🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Jenn suggested it looks like him and I can't unsee/stop thinking about it You ratted me out To be fair I was kind of half looking for the other three guys making cameos and I thought that might have been Jeff but it is hard to tell without the hair in his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcyMoffatt Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This video is perfection! I love it! The song is fine, but not great hit. Nevertheless, the video compensates for the song. I love everything about it: GD acting, the 50s, the goofyness, the political message, the Pleasantville inspiration, the direct attack on Trump, ... Love! Love! Love! And looking at the video, we can now understand why Billie had his hair cut very short on the sides and a little bit longer on the top. It's a typical haircut from the 50s and I never thought about it before (shame on me the historian that I'm for not figured out earlier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Every time someone writes BITUSA I read it like a word, "bitusa". The title isn't even that long and I don't like it Liking the video more and more, it's really good. The video > the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksCoEric Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I honestly really enjoy both the video and the song a lot. My only complaint is i wish they were longer haha. If the song had a bridge and maybe a short solo and was about a minute longer I'd love that. And maybe during the solo it shows "President trump" off screen freaking out about whats happening.

pouty bitch Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I was not expecting the video to be anything like this (idk what I was expecting tbh, but definitely not this), but it is absolute perfection. It's my fave GD music video by far. It's a pretty goofy video, but has a serious political message, and they pulled that off perfectly. I just really really hope that this has some kind of impact - people need to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
