BringMoreKnives Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Oh for fuck sake. I should not bother getting into this but I just can't bite my tongue (fingers?!)! It is so pathetic to see so many people bashing the video just because there's hot women dancing/having a good time in it. Just because a woman wears make-up/is hot/dresses "provocatively"/dances/acts sexy does not mean you have the right to call her a skank. What even is a whore, what is a slut, what is a skank, what is sleazy?! It's all entirely subjective and just shitty terms to put down a woman, even for things a man can do with no criticism. Women are put down enough without this shit, seriously. SO many Green Day fans seem to have a problem with ANY hot woman and it's because it makes them uncomfortable because it makes them feel ugly, insecure and jealous. TOO BAD. That's your own shit to work out, not theirs. It's all so embarrassingly obvious. Seriously can someone tell me logically what's wrong with a woman looking hot or dancing? No? Ok. Oh Jesus, and to say it's exploitative or objectifying is so fucking ridiculous. MOST PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO OTHER PEOPLE SEXUALLY AND AESTHETICALLY. DEAL WITH IT. Sex is not bad or disgusting or evil. You guys sound like The Pope or something, c'mon! This is a natural part of life. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make yourself look more attractive, it's a personal choice. There is just absolutely nothing wrong with this video morally. Women should be allowed to wear as little or as much clothing and make up as they like and act as un-sexily or sexily as they like without fucking criticism. So women aren't allowed to do these things without them being called "objectified"?! They can do what they fucking want, jeez. Sick of people governing what women should and shouldn't do and how to dress, especially under a veil of feminism. Fuck off! P.S. - Taking care of your appearance is not shallow. Jeez and I thought I had low self-esteem... At least I can watch this video and enjoy another woman's beauty. Maybe I'll feel insecure but I wont take it out on them, fuck sake!! +1 rep for you.

WrongWayToSalvation Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I do believe you have misquoted me, i never said violence! And yeah Green Day did some hardcore drugs, but they aren't addicts are they, i'm sure they had fun and learn't and yeah probably made mistakes, but you learn from mistakes so as long as its not gonna put you in a particularly bad situation then you can recover and come out smarter and stronger! People can enjoy Drugs, i can say i have for one and i know many other who can say the same, of course things can go bad and end badly obviously, people just have to know their limits etc and then it can be fun. Rock N Roll isn't always going to end badly. part of the excitement is the danger and the thrill etc. The simple fact that you experimented with drugs shows you aren't that good at making decisions...

Heather! Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Whoa, OK. Most of the people here are NOT calling the girls names, not at all. I'm not blaming the women at all. I don't give two shits about how the women are dressed or not dressed, but I have a problem with the execution of the video in relation to how the girls are dressed. I'm too tired to even type a response to that post so I'll just quote this one in agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four. Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Please don't feel sorry for me, patronizing people and putting them on a lower level isn't a good moral standing! You can't argue back properly in a civilized debate then fine then fine just be like that, not my problem. I just can't debate with someone who doesn't want to listen to me. The simple fact that you experimented with drugs shows you aren't that good at making decisions... Where does that come from, and what are you doing on a GD forum?

ChelseaDagger Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 My girlfriend hates it because there are girls in it and I was "looking" at them Oh for god's sakes. I'm sorry, but with all due respect to your girlfriend, she needs to grow up. I was waiting for the girls to like rebel and go crazy or something, or just have fun Me too! OK my quick input.... I didn't mind the video. I was hoping it would be MORE gritty, dirty and sleazy there was no air of "sexual tension" which is what I was hoping for.... just a bunch of bored looking girls. They started to get into it a little near the end....but too little, too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrongWayToSalvation Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Where does that come from, and what are you doing on a GD forum? I didn't know you had to be a pothead to be on a Green Day forum. Potheads are fucking annoying. I wish they'd legalize weed just so they would finally shut up about it.

justcause Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well, that was fun - and thanx to GDA for making it all easy for me!! The video for 'Oh Love' - I dunno, you got all these pretty girls and a rock band in the room, and you got carte blanche to do something, I'd be expecting for the sparks to fly. Instead, it's just kind of dead - Bayer just seemed to use the same shots of the girls over and over again, no creativity to it, no chemistry, no development ; the whole thing is kind of timid. Contrast it to the Foxboro vid for Stop Drop and Roll - don't know who directed that one, but the intercut shots of girls dancing are so much sexier and freer and individual, and it all comes together with the energy of the song. It feels joyously dirty, where as Bayer's vid seems so self-conscious that it gets dragged down - like, 'gentlemen, we are making a sexy video here - there are actual women in the room, with their lips and their extremely heavy eye make-up and their wiley womanly ways, threatening all that you hold dear, no-one is safe!!' Anyway - the interview was great, fun and interesting. Biggest moment for me was the clip of Armatage Shanks - fuck, that just blew everything else away, the energy of it, the ferocity. Fucking love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cris. Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Oh people come on! Hahahahahaha, I just watched the video and sort of loved it in the same way I loved Twilight... it's too bad like to take it seriously...! I mean, they must be trolling people with that video. I laughed all my way through it. The best way to describe it is this: You know in porn movies, the face good actresses (not amatheour pron actresses) do right before they get the happy ending all over their face? Sort of opening their mouth a bit and giving a bit of a sexy look... rings any bells? That's basically the entire video. hahaha. And then all the scenes of the girl with the circle on her back? She's pretty and all... except when she plays with her shoulder blades to do odd things with that circle... that's just... wierd? Oh and the girl moving her hands up in the air like... well certainly not like she's in a rock concert... more like... she's Hermione Granger trying to get picked by Snape to answer a question. Oh bless Sam Bayer, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh bless Sam Bayer, seriously. I've been convincing myself them picking "Oh Love" as a first single was a big act of trolling... funny you said that. Like, they know the rest of the album is epic, so they picked a mediocre song/video to lead off with just to keep us guessing... haha... I wish.
