fashionvictim86 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I love when the music video is Green Day playing instead of like their When I Come Around video for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezurgam Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 What the fuck was that?Nothing happened. Even the fire was anti-climactic. At least with Samuel Bayer stuff happened: Their movements sped up or slowed down. There was explosions of slime, and a bleeding flag. There was a conveyor belt with different scenery and people. There was the guys playing mutliple characters. There was a war sceen, with actors and such. There was the fucking St. Jimmy video with actual shit happening.Like the song, this video kind of sucked. Majorly.Totally agree with this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I liked it. Nothing better than a Green Day video showcasing the guys playing their music. Good way to comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicalDeviant Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Wow, wtf? Green Day deserves a better music video than this. There was so much potential in this video but it was hindered by the lame editing and camera switching. Even the part with the fire was not as epic as it could've been. I prefer the CBS version over this. So lame. -_-Exactly. Basketball footage broke up what was otherwise a pretty monotonous string of lame camera angles. And the production values compared to the American Idiot videos sucked. Those were grittier videos with depth and actual activity going on.Case and Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbug Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I find it interesting that so many people bitch about how there's too much acting, we want nothing but Green Day in the videos! And then they give us that, and people are still bitching about it being just them. Odd. That'd make me yank my fucking hair out if I were them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd make me yank my fucking hair out if I were them lolit's great that its green day, but just because it's simply green day in the video doesn't make it great. People are expecting great things from them so why not expect more. it's understandable that people are bitching because they want green day to give there best, and that wasn't their best in my opinion.

depardu42 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I really enjoy this video, because it's purely Green Day. Nobody else.Some of their facial expressions were pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS0N Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I used Hot Spot Shield and was able to watch it, pretty good video I think. If your outside the US you can use this program to watch stuff like this and use sites like Hulu.http://www.anchorfree.com/downloads/hotspot-shield/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I like to see them walking around doing stuff then have it cut back to them playing. They just played straight through this video. no silly antics or anything either. just a fancy way of filming a live show with cheap effects added in.

Those were grittier videos with depth and actual activity going on.Case and PointBetter comparison would be to American Idiot music video. I wouldn't go as far as to use "sucked" but the bar was definitely lowered.I find it interesting that so many people bitch about how there's too much acting, we want nothing but Green Day in the videos!

I liked the Wake Me Up When Sept. Ends video as much as the American Idiot one. It's just in my opinion, Green Day deserves a better music video than this, especially since this is their first single in a while and the hype that''s surrounding the album.

Agija Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I love the video so much. To be honest, I don't know if it's that good, but I've waited so long, so it seems amazing. I enjoyed every second of it.It'd be better if I didn't have to go to school now, I could just stay at home and watch it over and over again.

I wouldn't go as far as to use "sucked" but the bar was definitely lowered.I tried to find a decent version of that on youtube, but there wasn't one available, so I went to plan BI don't care if there's acting or not.

It's just in my opinion, Green Day deserves a better music video than this, especially since this is their first single in a while and the hype that''s surrounding the album.Indeed. This was like the Cloverfield of Green Day videos. Lots of camera angles, but barely worth the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen this video yet, and probably won't see it until late tomorrow night, but I also know that so many people said they wanted just a Green Day video. And what was expected of them? To do cartwheels and light themselves on fire? It's a performance video, isn't it? That's what everybody wanted, and it sounds like that's what we got.
