MusicalDeviant Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Considering we now have proof that someone in the Green Day team reads GDA (and even possibly GDC), I figure it would be in everyone's best interest to find out which song the fans would want to be made into the next videoIn addition, what would you want each video to have? What would you want to see portrayed in new videos? If anyone should be giving green day advice on what we want to see in their videos, it should be from the people that respect them the most. Because we know their music nearly as well as they do, I figure that many of you would have ideas for what you think would work for the music, and for the band.I'll start. I think for a potential "East Jesus Nowhere" video, it should have a parade sort of deal (yes, like Minority) at some point. I think the boys should don their priest outfits for the video that we have all so sorely missed. But they should be bad-assed, wearing sunglasses and such. Grey filtering for the camera, so things appear edgier and grittier. I think it would be fantastic to have the "Pope" going around with ear-muffs, an eye-shade on, and duct-tape over his mouth as he walks by victims of tragedies that the Catholic church has either caused or remained silent in. In this instance, I figure people dressed up as Holocaust prisoners, standing beside African aborigines that have red AIDS ribbons painted on them. I think a great scene would be a priest going up to a happy gay couple with two kids, punching out both parents, and then looking down at the kids with a seedy grin, later referenced in the video by a brief shot of the kids being chased around by the priest.Also, I imagine a scene with Mike taking a hose hooked up to a tank labeled "holy water" and spraying a bunch of hot girls (wearing crosses) in a very sexy way, to reinforce the hypocrisy of the church. And some girls dancing with Crucifixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Shake Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'd say set East Jesus Nowhere in a church, with them trashing the place while church-goers watch in horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead-Stew!!! Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Speaking as a Christian I love East Jesus Nowhere. The Pope, Bush and others don't represent what I believe! You just have these bastards abusing religion in order to achieve their own goals. (Mainly power). Bush saying he's going on a crusade against terror is bullshit. The bible clearly says murder is WRONG! People say the bible is anti gay. Yes in Leviticus it says its an abomination. It also says we should kill people who work on the sabbath and chop off the hands of thieves etc. You have to adapt the christian message to modern society. Also the bible does not condomn contraception. Now that rant is over, I also think East Jesus Nowhere should be a single, but only after 21 Guns which should be immense, maybe a bit like a mixture of the KYE and wake me up when september ends videos.

themole Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 East Jesus Nowhere... but why have them be destructive when the whole song is about them being destructive to humanity? I always thought they should shoot it in two churches, on abandoned one with GD in it and trash cans on fire, and another nice, Norman Rockwell church with a giant pulpit. As they come in they dump their hookers, guns, and alcohol at the door, including the pastor, to donate money and "pray" to save their souls.Tada.

Peace and Rainbows Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think they should make a video for 21st breakdown, it could have some cool effects of someone walking alone and feeling depressed.(Lame i know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ila Reto Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I love both ideas for East Jesus Nowherebut i think Christian's Inferno would make a cool single- kind of has a network tone to it. or maybe im too greedy to let any other songs be turned into a single so MTV can't get a hold of it. it'd be Christian going crazy breaking shit and a bunch of stuff falling from the sky on a dreary abandoned avenue. and then (because i dont like videos that dont have the band in it) it'd be flashing from Green Day jamming, to the scenes with Christian. idk. i just think about the network every time i hear it- maybe a suprise appearance by Fink? hehe no way that'd ever happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Holly Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would love them to do East Jesus Nowhere. If done right, it could be a very poweful video with a strong message about religion. They could really stir some shit up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01casey Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think a lot of people would misunderstand it though.I'm an atheist, but I understand that East Jesus Nowhere is more focused on the hypocrisy of religion in terms of how they treat it.Still, I'd bloody love an interesting video for it, I just feel it could get a little misinterpreted.

BabsBurnoutGirl Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I would love to see them have a set of corresponding music videos with the same cast of characters - a narrative if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Both the ideas for an east Jesus Nowhere video are pretty good, but I think it would be better if Green Day make a video that wasn't so literal. idk, I just think it would work better if it were more subtle and let people come to their own conclusions about religion. Not that I have any better ideas for a video though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshy Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I think it'd be cool if Green Day like went back to where they filmed Longview and Basketcase and just filmed Billie strumming the guitar on the couch in Longview and (might be stealing the idea from the Rhapsody advert) just went through scenes of their old videos or something. Don't know what song this would go to, I haven't listened to the album yet but maybe 21st Century Breakdown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aahhhh Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 i think east jesus nowhere would be the third single. they'll come out with a slower one next. im guessing 21 guns or restless heart syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzButt Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I am unsure which song I would like to see them make a music video into at the moment, but I have been hoping for like the longest time they would do something like a really trippy 2-d cartoon animation in one of their videos. It'd be so awesome if they were like drawn as cartoons and were like animated rockin their asses off with like other things happening related to the lyrics and stuff. I dunno just a thought.
