greenbear Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 The problem with clips being played is that it gives people a chance to make snap judgements on the whole song. 90 seconds is a good chunk, but it's not the whole song. It's probably not even half.You have to take into consideration what the people who designed the clip were doing. They were hyping a game, trying to give off energy to further fuel the people who are into the game. Therefore, they're going to use the most energetic bits of the song, they're going to use repitition, etc.I like what I heard though the parts of the song they chose to use were repitious. If the whole thing is like that then it probably won't be the one I keep going back to on the album, but I'm gonna wait until I actually hear all of it before I judge the song as a whole. Anyway, I really can't think of a Green Day song that ever bored me. There's a lot of room left for it to go different places If the rest of the somg isn't an improvement I'll be disappointed.If the rest of the song is an improvement and the whole thing works in total, then WB haven't done Green Day any favours by putting out a rather repetitive clip which people are going to make snap judgements.We'll just wait and see. I'm hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for the best.But we're Green Day fans, we know this band and what they're capable of. We're already going to buy the CD. They're trying to reach the people who don't already listen to Green Day, and the majority of those people are probably the Top 40, "band of the moment" type folks who are fed a steady diet of repitition anyway. It won't turn them off; they're used to it. The music video, which will feature the whole song, is going to be better for marketing anyway.

Just because they keep surprising us time after time. They reached sky high with AI but wil they do it again? I surely don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabot_girl Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I love the beginning of the video where they walk along the railroad, but I don't like the rest of what they've showed. Especially not explotions...my point being, Green Day never needed explotions...because they are better than that. Takes the focus off them as individuals. I know there is a lot of fans around the age of 15 here, and I think us "older" fans see Green Day on a whole different level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be awsome for a live show, just not for a music video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain peroxide Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Terrible? A Green Day song can't be terrible Untrue.If the rest of the somg isn't an improvement I'll be disappointed.If the rest of the song is an improvement and the whole thing works in total, then WB haven't done Green Day any favours by putting out a rather repetitive clip which people are going to make snap judgements.We'll just wait and see.

And I do see this as a marketing gimmick rather than trying to give the fans anything. I'm just surprised its not being played on the radio yet as we're only just over a week away from release.

In a video it would just not look impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Bad stuff:-Billie's fucking growl/scream at about 1 minute in (wtf was that?)That's pretty much the thing I like most!

Parley Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 You are eleven years old. You've probably digested the band's entire catalog within the past two years. I've spent the past fifteen years with the same 90 songs. I'd say I have a good sense of what a good Green Day song should sound like by now.And I would love to discuss my disappointment with others. I encourage an open forum. PM me or post replies. You've made a fool of yourself on so many levels with only two posts. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
