Sarahnade Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 the new vid is ok, and i think it looks more like 21 Guns. the video spent a lot of time capturing the girls than the trio. I feel like this is my only complaint. I wish the camera would've spent a little more time on the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Snark Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 So, I just watched the R-rated version, and I hate to say it... but I kind of like it better. Although I don't like how it portrays women by any means, I assume it's tame for an R-rated video, and it makes sense for what they're selling as a sexualized song. It gets more of a message across than the girls pointlessly just sitting around. I think the PG version is comparable to the edited version of Kill The DJ, which I wasn't a huge fan of. Although it's more appropriate, it's not nearly as good of a product in the end as the more offensive version. This. I don't understand why the PG version was so edited down from the R-rated one. They could've easily left in more shots of the girls having fun, even if it meant blurring out some bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlissaGoesRAWR Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This. I don't understand why the PG version was so edited down from the R-rated one. They could've easily left in more shots of the girls having fun, even if it meant blurring out some bits. Exactly! The R-rated version was more of what I was expecting. Like I said, I don't want to like it, but I do. Especially compared to the crap that is the PG version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glynnis Stevenson Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I knew this video would be polarizing since the single was, but I actually thought it was really good. The production quality was amazing. It captured the sexual tension the song is all about. And Billie's passion was palpable. I love the song, I had a lot of fun watching the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellow Dramatic Jeff Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This video was just uninspired. I mean, the Rated R version had better shots and some very beautiful shots but it didn't fit the song. Maybe if the song was called "Oh Lust" but... it's not.

tookum Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Agree, agree. The video is only so-so, but then the only Green Day video that Sam Bayer directed that I really liked was "American Idiot". None of his videos seem to relate to the song or the band. Oh, BOBD was pretty good as well, sorry 'bout that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallorymaloney Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Found the R rated version just now: http://www.greendayi...ve-music-video/ After watching this version, IDK. Originally I liked it, y'know, as it's clear Green Day's not taking themselves too serious, so I was trying to go the same route, but now ... I dunno. The random close ups of hard chick nipples just seemed so random, like, 'HERE'S SOME TITTAYZ W00T'. Which is fine for pretty much everything else, but when it comes to something I take as srsly as Green Day's music, I just ... I dunno, man. It's gonna take a fuckload of time for me to get used to this. Just ... Seems so unlike them, even with all the explanations people have come up with. And even with the semi nude shots that were in the JOS video. And the sex scene in the AI musical. And after I just totally accepted that this was gonna be a great series of albums, as well. Heh.

wubbzy Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's not a very good video... I can imagine the planning process for it 'Hey guys we're really short of money so the budget for this video is $5' 'Alright, let's just film a bunch of people doing nothing, surely that won't cost much' 'mmmk' I've liked all the songs I've heard so far, Oh Love was good, Let Yourself Go was good, Kill the DJ is catchy is good although hearing it a couple of times it's a little repetitive. The video for Oh Love was sort of eh though, that's my personal opinion anyway and you know what they say...opinions are like assholes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
