petrina_678 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi everybodyI see so many people are complaining about this new video or are disappointed about it. But there are some points in 20 years of their career that I believe u all must know. If you pay attention 2 green day's albums u will C that in all of them the first video is just their performance like the video of american idiot or basketcase with some details that in this album these details include those fires behind them which is created so professionally in my opinion. this video was so great as I C. I love billie joe's hair style and he is still looking so younger than his real age.I promise u all if u wait 2 C their next singles u're gonna C some great jobs from them which u all will adore them. I fuckin believe that this album rocks and they're gonna take home the grammy for album of the year this year.Rock onBasketcase and American Idiot are two AWESOME videos that KYE cant even come close to. The difference being that AI and Basketcase videos actually had real relevance to the songs. THey were not just another performance of the band with some random images inserted , they actually carried their visual weight of the song. They also did much better jobs of interpreting the message of the song, and taking the concept to the next level. KYE does none of that, not only does it not analyze the song, it also didnt properly showcase the band. It didnt capture their energy (like longview or even bullet in a bible did) KYE is a dull video with nothing below the surface, it has no depth or lasting impression. No im no complaining, but IMO the video let the song down, and I hope the band is happy with the video , because in the end thats all that matters.

Soroush Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 But totaly this video didn't sound that bad 2 me and the only thing that made me amazed was the location. I think it was so better if they made it in the street instead of this place. but actually as u know this director is a grammy winner and everybody expect a much better action from him and I think Sam Bayer could do a better job than him because he is more experienced 2 make a great rock video, specially punk rock.They performed this video as the leaders who have so many people in front of them and are giving speech 2 them 2 be able 2 know their enemy. but it could have been more formal than this.

htlecso Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm kinda pissed of because this video is pretty boring and gives nothing extra accordin to that hype which was before the release of this video.If you've watched that basketball themed preview/trailer you could expect a forceful pulsating powerful video. But the final thing is just an average disappointing one.And one more thing: Isn't is strange that after a full day of the video premier I still cannot find a HQ TV-rip of the video ?

First of all, I think the video doesn't analyze the song, but it seems to be releated to the whole theme of the album. And you think it doesn't capture their energy? I think it's full of energy, they really rock. The AI video might have had the better concept, but KYE is bursting with energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's full of energy, they really rock. The AI video might have had the better concept, but KYE is bursting with energy."related to the whole album" is putting too much emphasis on the tiny inserted lackluster images of surveillance cameras, because honestly thats the only thing thats keeping it "related" . So using the word "related" is truly pushing it . If you cut out that little footage, and that flash of a capitol building, what you have left is a run of the mill amateur music video that so many other bands have done before. Yes its green day jamming . But there are better ways of filming this. Ok concept aside, is the video bursting with energy, IMO no. Billie-joe looks a bit stuck on the mic. We hardly ever see tre. Mike is more or less doing the same thing. On top of that they are all stiffly stuck on platforms . Yes the guys themselves were putting heart and soul into the performance , but the sifting angles did no justice to capture the action. Instead to adding to the energy , it became distracting. Maybe if the band interected more, and if the shots were more full bodied , and well LONGVIEW is a great example of capturing the band just jamming, while soaking in their energy. So IMO i see what you are saying, but i just have to disagree. And for the people who say that we should love it, based on the SOLE reason its green day , i really DO NOT agree. If you like it , you should like it for the right reasons, and not because you feel the need to embrace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the special effects were a bit OTT and take away from the true essence of the song. Although I did enjoy the whole idea of the security cameras watching, the video overall is a little underwhelming. I've watched it twice now. The second time I appreciated some aspects of the video more, but it's not a video I want to watch over and over again. Sorry I'm really tired and this probably sounds like a load of useless shit.

IscoredWaddlesgoals Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've just been another website and the whole reaction appears distinctly undewhelmed. It feels dated with the whole 'OMG THE GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY LIKE WATCHING US ALL'. A bit meh. And not enough Mike & Tre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgaine Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Is there something wrong with me if I feel an irresistible need for doing so every day? No, but believe me, if for some reason you'd have to stop coming here for a few months, you'd get used to it after some time. But then suddenly it would hit you even stronger that you just have to go back here. It happened to me like twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
