Everything I read about the video is that it was supposed to mock the "rockstar" lifestyle, so I think you are right in your assessment

Was it supposed to mock it, though? I always thought it was just a straightforward video, rather than parodying that lifestyle. In the past they'd always sort of poked fun of that lifestyle rather than joined in, so that's why I was so taken aback by Oh Love. I'd be very pleased if the intention actually was mocking. So pleased.

I had read something where it was said it was supposed to mock the lifestyle.

The Kill the DJ video was so STUPID, sweet lord. It could've had a cooler concept, too. Damn it, Trilogy. :lol:

Yeah, trilogy videos suck. They should release Brutal Love as a single one day and make an epic video for it, as a compensation ;)

So you're saying the band had no say so in the oh love video? You do know it doesn't work that way right?

I didn't say so. Of course they had to approve it but I blame Sam Bayer for how poorly executed his videos for the trilogy were. One thing is that I don't find the Oh Love video hot. Another thing is that it lacks any idea aside from let's shoot the guys drinking beer and the gals...well, just being there. It's bland and boring.

That's cause Sam Bayer is a crappy director

Smells Like Teen Spirit, Holiday, BOBD, AI, WElcome to the Black Parade, etc

He has most definitely had some misses, but he has had a hell of alot of hits too.  I would say he is a spotty director

And SLTS was only good because Kurt went in and re edited Sam's edit was not good 

never seen the Black Parade but BOBD AI and Holiday were storyboarded by GD were they not that may be the reason for that 

have you seen the movie he directed? The Nightmare remake just horrible

Can I be 1000% honest right now on this board? Ok, here is goes:

I've never watched that video in full (only seen stills and small snipets) and have never seen a single ounce of any other Trilogy music video. In fact, I don't even know what other songs have videos.

I saw one piece of the KTD music vid and I was like "lol nope, no time for that bye"

As simple as it is, I love the Nuclear Family video. It got me really excited for the Trilogy, and the song itself is still up there with some of their best stuff.

Some people here might say the same about Bang Bang.

And I agree! That was more of a grower for me though, I wasn't sure at first. It took Still Breathing to really get me excited.

The Kill the DJ video isn't bad, kind of average but not terrible, it's quite entertaining.

I'd forgotten that existed :lol:, should give it another watch. But now you've reminded me of the amazing fan made Nuclear Family video that they picked as a contest winner! So cute and awesome. @RougeRogue if you haven't seen any trilogy videos you must at least see this one :D

Man, I forgot how good that was. Such talent and so well done.

You all talk about how bad Oh Love's video, but you forget that Welcome To Paradise is basically an overdub of a live performance with this random shot of Billie burning a paper or something.

Oh Love's music video is very very over hated music video for no reason. Worked for the song! :ga:

Only videos I can't really watch are JOS and Wake Me Up When September Ends. They are fine until the music breaks and all that bullshit goes on, really turns me off the video, would rather just see the parts with the band playing, through and through. Seems any video with them and their music entertains me.

As much as I hate Kill the DJ because it's so repetative and dumb lyrics, I really like the video.

Amen! JOS is so cringeworthy I can't watch it.

Agreed. I love JOS and WMUWSE songs but hate both videos. They're just aweful!

Oh wow that was super cute! Thanks <3

Also-

As if my icon didn't give it away, I will fight ALL of you who come after my JOS video.

The Lou Taylor Pucci JOS is my only JOS.

(Sorry John)
