Last of the American Girls music video

Marc Webb loves the fish.

Anyway, it's kind of weird, but hey it's not the worst video. Green Day video girls always dance quite annoyingly, but maybe that's just me.

I like reading your theories. :D

i really loved the video! i have seen better though, like 21 Guns :) I think Marc Webb may have some sort of fascination with goldfish though! :D

I think it's quite great.. and Billie's looks :wub: Like most of you others, the blonde girls were annoying... but it could have been worst, and it could have been better... But I liked it though :happy: And yeah, I noticed the fish, and I started to think about 21 guns.. I don't know about you guys, but I don't have anything about the other vids either, like some of you have been talking about.. waiting for example, I like it.. I can't see what's wrong with it...?

There's much better Green Day videos, but there's worse too. :) The two blonde girls are really annoying though

Wow, those gifs are pretty nice, great quality! Does that mean you have a good quality version of LOTAG? I'd like to download that to make my own gifs.

Not one of the better Greenday music videos, but I still like this!

They are two different fish though xD It would be a very old goldfish then, since there's also one in Waiting :lol:

The video is growing on me more and more, and I like it even more than the first time I saw it! :happy:

It's good, but it reminds me of something from the Warning area.

I think that the video was well worth the wait. Its certainly one of the most artistic ventures that the band has ever taken in a video, and it actually makes me appreciate the song in context with the album and in itself.

It shows Gloria for exactly who she is: a fake. She's someone who sits around and reads books, listens to records, and watches shows about revolution, but she does nothing about it herself. I think that the blonde girls trailing her are a reminder of something that is chaining her down to her current life, but I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Just for the fact that in several interviews when the album was first out the band said that Last Of The American Girls was very much inspired by Billie's wife, I can't agree :lol:. Billie saying how much he admires her as a person and for being involved in so many good causes, the character in the song really seems to be based on his description of her. I think the song is a celebration those qualities in women, of standing up for what you believe in. But it's showing both the postives and negatives that come along with that, the character is troubled and conflicted.

So I agree to the extent that the character isn't perfect, but I think overall she's at least trying to do what's right. I couldn't see her as a fake.

when the video will be available on itunes?

I don't know, but iTunes usually takes like 1-2 weeks to upload the video.

Idk.... they aren't very consistent with videos. The 21CB video was up within a day or so after it premiered and KYE and 21 Guns took a few days.

I also wonder when it will be on MySpace

are there some news about the release of the single?

Nothing that has been released. I emailed a couple radio stations and they haven't heard anything from Reprise about it.

i totally agree with this... and i love the character created in the song, but i don't think the video portrays her properly at all. she's supposed to be a 'hero for the lost cause', 'riding her bike like a fugitive of critical mass', not sitting around... then randomly blowing up a car. =/ Although, i'm probably missing something...

I feel like she's a fake in the context of the story up to that point. She's revealed two tracks later to be a junkie, and I think the video sort of reveals her inability to do anything real.

But I am in agreement with you. The video really messed up my perception of the song before the video came out.
