Malleus Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I had high hopes for this video, so I'm not surprised it was "meh" to me. I liked it, but I don't know. Something about the band playing there, and Billie being on the TV seems ..... not right. I dislike the fact that the band was there, but I get why. It was a good video and all, Lisa is pretty hot and the music kicked ass, so I wasn't let down per se, but it could of been better. Overall I thought it was good, I mean, it's Green Day. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetItBeHappy Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I liked when she blew up shit and shot things with her fingers...that was cool. I've been trying to do that since the video first leaked. Should I stand in a weird position or it just work on deserts when you have two annoying Daisy Chains following you? xD the desert and that all the stuff in there ...i mean, in both videos you can see house's stuff (living room, for example) but, like i said LOTAG its so much better because...COME ONE, ITS A GREEN DAY VIDEO exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage & Love. Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Lol, I was searching for an uploaded vid of LOTAG, and look what I found Fail. The owner who put it up, had to do it because otherwise it would have been taken down. Basically it like hypercamed or 'video screnshoted' the video and then sped it up and then uploaded to youtube, so then it's classed as his own edit, therefor its then his material, he couldn't have possibly upload the true copy because i wouldn't have been aloud, or even couldn't upload it at all.

StateOfGrace Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I loved all of Green Day's parts. I thought Tre looked awesome in it (not that he doesn't always look awesome but I dunno he looks younger y'know?) The dancer's kinda bothered me but not too much. I've only watched it once so maybe I need to watch it more, It's just that I pictured alot happening in the video But I loved Gloria's face when she flipped to the channel of her and Christian. I thought the TV idea was really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Even if the dancers weren't supposed to be representing anything and were just randomly there for no reason, I wouldn't find them annoying. They're just dancing around, big deal. I don't see what's so annoying about it. Things I didn't like: -When Gloria put on the headphones and started lip syncing. -Gloria needed to look more badass. Haha I have to agree with both of those. Those are my only slight dislikes. But overall I thought the character of Gloria was portrayed well and in an un-annoying way, which I wasn't expecting after the 21 Guns video.

Heidi Holiday Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Overall, I like the video. I definitely don't love it. Now that I've seen it a few more times through, I'm starting to understand why the blonde girls were there and what they represent. But overall, I think that whole adding complexity to simplicity thing is really sort of a cop-out for what the video's storyline, characters, and overall scope is--simplistic. I can say that I'm a fan of a lot of Marc Webb's past work with music videos and I loved "500 Days of Summer" (his directorial film debut)...however, this video was a bit lacking. I think I was especially upset because I love the song so much, and secretly hoped it would become a single. In fact, the song was my ringtone for a while. So, I'll still always love "LOTAG" as a song, first and foremost.Also, the extreme closeups of the random objects were pretty well done from a video production standpoint. I think we are going to leave this 21cb-era of green days career with only one good music video, 21st Century breakdown. Not that it bothers me much. I don't know why Green Day is working with this guy though. They didn't learn after the shitty Waiting video? I'm pretty sure Samuel Bayer is done shooting Nightmare On Elm ST, they could have got him again. But then again Samuel Bay did have a couple of clunkers in there. "Hey I have an idea, lets make a video for Jesus Of Suburbia, a video about the main character of the story that we are suppose to root for and make him an unlikeable asshole." HA HA, I just woke up. I'm not usually so negative. This video makes the same mistake as 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy, Jesus Of Suburbia and Wake Me Up When September Ends. We want to see the band be part of the story going on in the video, not just being the soundtrack playing. We need shots of them outside of the performing shots. Like walking around like in BOBD, driving and all the other shenanigans in Holiday or simply stabbing a couch like in Longview. The videos where the boys acts are the better videos. I completely agree, really. Videos need less performance, what ultimately amounts to typical concert footage which is unimpressive for a superfan, and more of those random, band interactions sequences. Also, has anyone else noticed that Green Day tends to have this sort of director loyalty? They seem to choose a new director for a new album and go with him for almost every other single...
