Katarina. Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 ^ We have Summer time/day light saving time/whatever, so that's GMT+2 (Or still +1). That's why I thought it's 12pm. But anyway, we'll all be able to see the LOTAG video tomorrow, and that's what it's about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Haha, all this people not watching it reminds me of the whole thing with waiting for May 15th to listen the 21st Century Breakdown (21stCB VIRGINS! GROUP B!) That was the best! I was a proud virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GROUP B!) The difference is I was dying to hear the new album and didn't even try to wait but with this video I really can't be bothered to look it up and watch some crappy version Waiting is not hard at all.

GROUP B!) Haha great. I should have joined that group too. Actually it was May 16th I could listen to the CD. But I bought it on May 15th. Long and boring story. xD And totally offtopic. I don't know what's the vid. is like. But I think it's not going to t be a hit here in The Netherlands. Can't really explain why, but that's waht I'm thinking...

Can't really explain why, but that's waht I'm thinking... well okay xD Yeah, I don't think it will be big in NL either, although it does have potential to be at least an average hit, it's a catchy song and open to a wide public. The problem is that it doesn't really stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteo263 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 At first I hated the single choice and the video but now I heard and watched it over and over again and I think I understand everything now: a) The song is light, poppy, easy to grasp the beutiful lyrics and is a safe bet for a chart position. b)The video is simple, made for tv viewing and very easily remembered. c)Gloria is in the dessert because she is the 'Last' of her race, therefore alone and DESERTED! d)The other girls who are dancing with her are actuallly all the influences of the media on her but she stays true to herself: 'She is One of a kind', 'She wont cooperate','she's a runaway of the establishment' etc. e)I am thankfull that Marc Webb did not do a literate interpretation of the song like: Gloria putting on makeup, gloria reading a book, gloria wearing a coat, riding a bike, not eating etc. etc. etc. Thank God! That would have killed me. f) In the video I see a slight parody of Beyonce's Single Ladies (3 girls doing the same things, but this time there is someone who doesn't do as the others influence them) and Lady gaga's sense of style(the other two girls) which will grasp attention. In the end I think that I still do not really love the video but It is ok. For fans it may not be the greatest way to rapresent the song. 21 Guns had a similar reception by fans, go figure: It did quite well on charts and won 3 VMA's, fingers crossed that Marc Webb succeds in what he has in mind ( hopefully: making the song as succesfull as possible).

Ila Reto Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 i didnt see the leak (wouldnt have been able to regardless) but i did see the preview. it may take some time for me to warm up to the backup dancers, but i think it adds to the whole theatrical aspect that green day has going lately. but what got me happiest of all was to see that they were playing in the middle of a desert. like i love the whole concept of them and the desert, coming from when the hot tubs were playing out west and such. and the boys are looking great, which is almost surprising after the amount of touring they have done!

Can't really explain why, but that's waht I'm thinking... I think so too. It's a shame really, cause Green Day music is beyond awesome, but anyway.. When you watch Mtv nowadays it's like justin bieber/rihanna/flo rida/kesha and all that kind of music. Not a surprise people won't like it. It's totally something different. Who knows what happens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastard of 1967 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 c)Gloria is in the dessert because she is the 'Last' of her race, therefore alone and DESERTED! f) In the video I see a slight parody of Beyonce's Single Ladies (3 girls doing the same things, but this time there is someone who doesn't do as the others influence them) and Lady gaga's sense of style(the other two girls) which will grasp attention. Win. Two themes I didn't pick up on, particularly the choice of the desert as the setting....love the connection you made there. Oh, and dear GOD the Single Ladies parody is all over the damn thing, I'm slapping myself for missing that one! What a great interpretation of the video. I'm going to enjoy the ending even more after reading that. Thanks! I think just like 21 Guns (and even the whole 21CB album for that matter), LOTAG's got more depth to it than some of us are giving it credit for. Not sure how well it'll play live yet, but I suppose we'll find out in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
