Last Of The American Girls Music Video

Recommended Posts

Simple question I need to ask so I don't get in trouble: Can I take screenshots from the video, make simple graphics (sigs, avas, etc.) out of them, and post them in my artwork thread before Thursday rolls around? Or will I have to wait?

You can wait until Thursday to post them.

I guess you're allowed to put them on your sig/ava, but not to post them. That's what happened with Mother Mary

I don't get the hate for the two girls, I thought they were pretty cool.

I don't get it either! Holiday had dancers too and that was a good video.

On some sort of multimedia website called BrightCove..... its for commercial use. You can buy their software. Obviously some other website is getting ready for the video.

Sounds stupid, but I really don't get the concept of this video. It reminds me of a +4 ad

because music and film are two seperate art forms. i can't say it would be 'boring' if green day videos were just of them performing, but what would be the point? i like the idea of another artist taking a song and interpreting it through film.

Yes, or a concept that doesn't fail?

I personally disliked the girls in this video because they had nothing to contribute to it; they weren't a part of the storyline in any way whatsoever. But with the Holiday video, the dancers kind of make sense. Let me try to explain. In Holiday (following the American Idiot storyline and the video), it's obvious that JOS has left his home of suburbia, and ventured his way into The City. And everything here is new him, so he takes advantage of it all - the alcohol, the prostitutes/dancers - he takes all he can get. So that makes sense to me. It's him partying and having one hell of a good time with those girls as he consumes a bunch of alcohol and gets shitfaced drunk before the 'lonely hangover' (as Billie would describe it) known as BOBD. But in this video, the girls don't represent anything. It's like they were just added for some type of flair, to spice up the video a bit, and I just don't think it worked that well.

Agreed. Sometimes a performance video can be great, but it takes things to a whole new level when there's some type of storyline added to it. It gives it more meaning and makes it better. It's like comparing KYE and... I don't know... JOS. KYE is a good performance video, but that's it, really. It's Green Day performing, with a huge blast of fire behind them at the end. But in JOS, you have all these people, these characters... you put them into a unique world and give them a personality and struggles, something that others can relate to. And when you have something as amazing as that, in addition to a performance in a video, it overall turns out much better than just a performance video.

You explained this very well, I agree.
