simone18 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 The video is a bit silly, it doesn't have a storyline or something but to be honest I see it like a big relief. The singles they've picked are all a bit "serious", 21 guns is a dramatic song, KYE and 21st CB, and EJN as well, have that sort of anger/ protest feel, so honestly, LOTAG and its video (though I would have chosen The Static Age), are a moment of relief , that's what the band needed to shake off that image of a band that has lost all the fun. Meh.. double post. it DOES have a storyline. Like i said before, the video shows the life of gloria, the runaway of the establishment, who lives in the desert cause she doesn´t want to get in touch with people/believes she hates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarina. Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Tomorrow! Yay, can't wait. Well I actually can wait, since I haven't seen any footage of the vid so far. So if the premiere will be at 6am EST, it'll be 12pm here.. Gah, I'm at school then xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a storyline when you start with a character in a situation and then after several events that character reaches a new status. JOS, WMUWSE and Holiday/BOBD had a storyline, a narrative plot, while 21 guns and LOTAG, for example, are just a condensed representation of a situation/attitude.

RobyRoom Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 ^Why can't people have a normal, laid back, exchange of opinions? I agree. 21Guns and LOTAG show a moment (or a day) in Gloria's life, not her changing Yeah, there isn't a complex idea behind the video. Marc Webb might had thought: Who is Gloria? She's a badass, indipendent girl (in 21st CB she fixed the car ) so I'm gonna make a video with a badass girl who doesn't give a shit about all the inputs she's receiving from the modern world. And he got the video. It's ok for the song, cause it's kinda funny though I'd never say that it's epic. He got the aim of the song. That's it.

Nova-Caine Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It's just a weak video for one of the weakest songs on the album. I was hoping Murder City was going to jump in at the end :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova-Caine Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Why one of the weakest? It's one of the most beautiful songs on the record (not the best, of course). it's a filler song, don't get me wrong its a pretty little song with a cute tune but its just not single material, I thought the purpose of releasing singles from an album was to promote the album and normally the strongest songs get released, this isn't one of the strongest songs on the Album. IMO just another in a long line of fuck ups surrounding this whole album, which is awesome but hasn't been promoted properly. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyDo666 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It's a great single choice! It's so catchy and has a great message, I've loved it since the album came out. It's not filler because it's pivotal to knowing who Gloria is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 lol@for once all the Americans having a shitty release time. and I don't think the preview shows the best part of the video, I'd even say the preview doesn't do the video justice.
