Montclare Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I prefer Oh Love to Jesus of Suburbia. I'll see myself to the blasphemy thread... I do think Stay the Night would have been the best choice for a first single though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ik most people probably don't agree with me on that A slow and plodding song that doesn’t really go anywhere just made for a boring choice. Nuclear Family, Stay the Night, Kill the DJ, Let Yourself Go all would’ve been better choices. I don’t mind Oh Love in the context of the album but as a song I prefer the shorter radio edit. Whether or not any of them would’ve been more successful it’s tough to say, but I don’t see how having something a little more high energy could’ve hurt them. But by 2012 rock was on the wane anyway so I bet the difference would’ve been negligible to the trilogy’s ultimate fate (Billie Joe’s substance abuse issues being the larger factor) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by 2012 rock was on the wane anyway so I bet the difference would’ve been negligible. 3/4 of the band's biggest hits from the 00's were BOBD, WMUWSE and 21 Guns. These were all slower singles. If you wanted a successful single, it makes perfect sense to release a song like Oh Love first, it's definitely the only song from Uno that even remotely resembles those kinds of songs. American Idiot was the only fast paced song to get to the level of success of those tracks. KYE, and even Holiday, the other fast singles (that were actual properly promoted as there was practically no promotion for 21CB singles after KYE and 21 Guns) weren't as big of hits compared to the other hits on their respective albums Again, I'm only talking about in terms of commercial success. If we're talking about which song would be best for the more hardcore fanbase, then yeah there's a strong argument to make that Oh Love was a poor choice. Idk if it was even the band who chose Oh Love as the first single or if it was the label behind it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly wanted fans as extras They'd have to pay extras. 🤣 But also the amount of enthusiasm wouldn't be there. Would look like the Kill the DJ video. LOL On 10/2/2023 at 4:24 PM, greenday.stuff said: I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this yet, but they're no longer asking for your name and address when you go to fill out the wake up call. I wonder if the people who got to put in their addresses will get something in the mail. Like the empty FOAM vinyl sleeve that one dude got and that's how the track list got out into the media? 😆 On 10/2/2023 at 4:40 PM, pacejunkie punk said: Like I said, depending on what type of shot it is it’s possible they won’t even hear it. Film shoots are nothing like watching the final product and they’ll probably all have to sign NDAs anyway I'm pretty sure if there's a band performance portion that there will be audio playback. There has to be. What they might do is use the in-ear monitors for the band. But then the crowd could be out of sync... except for Tre's drums keeping them in time, cause he wouldn't be pretending to hit them. LOL PS. I work in the film industry and I make music, so I'm just speaking from experience. Not claiming to know what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw Gaslight Anthem a few weeks they just told us during the show they'd be filming a music video and they played a song twice and filmed it on a handheld camera. It took all of 15 minutes, haha. LOL That's a super short shoot day. And there's no way that's the whole music video. Any shots of just the band or singles of each member would be shot a different day most likely. My music video was a 12 hour shoot on day 1 to get everything with the crowd and the roller derby skaters, then day 2 was 8 hours of just the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm hoping this video will not be the first from the new album. I remember the stunning videos we used to get. Either just the band playing or telling a story. Know Your Enemy with the amazing ending with the fire behind the band. The stories told in 21st C, Bang Bang, 21Guns & the scary Troubled Times. There were so many between AI, 21st & RevRad. Also, the doc's detailing the making of videos AI, Boulevard of Broken Dreams and 21Guns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
