Anyway, does anyone know what guitar Billie is playing in the video? It's definitely not a LP Junior, thought it could be an SG or a Gretsch of some sort? Any ideas? It's a Gibson Les Paul Custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtrix Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I like the video. I just don't understand the part where they throw the money around. But I like the story in it and how it connects with the band playing in that house. And Tim has a nice short cameo. And what @DookieLukie said seems like a solid interpretation of the video.

GenXIdiot Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Love this video! It reminds me of their earlier, lighthearted videos from the 90's. I love the camera work, editing, and the way the band was incorporated into the story...and that it was girl bank robbers, bringing their loot to the Green Day gig! Perfect!

Think it's a variation of his signature Gibson hollowbody Edit: nope, it's a Les Paul Custom, I should've known, I nearly got the epiphone version, sorry!

The social commentary is very clear. Like the Orlando shooter doing a crime to earn the respect of ISIS, the people in masks are committing a robbery to impress Green Day. Just like ISIS had nothing to do with the shootings, Green Day has nothing to do with the robbery, but the media thinks they do. I think it's also a commentary in celebrity worship and obsession, as these "fangirls" stare at Billie like he's the face of God, and they're begging for his approval. I didn't even think of this angle but it seems obvious now! Nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Did anyone notice that the blond bank robber (who looks like a young claudia schiffer) crosses her eyes at the end. What is up with the eye crossing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a bad video without it, but I think that would've made it even better. It would've felt more complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video seems almost 100% metaphorical. The crime is shown only to set the stage for the commentary within the video, so it hardly matters if consequences are applied in the end. I think an arrest in the end would be pointless and predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Man, I just love this song! It has so many layers and lyrical applications that just keep me coming back for more. Also, love the 2nd to last chorus where Billie says "celebrity martyr" and the video shows the girls staring at him with sexual smirks in slow motion. Love that line, and the showing of the perverse nature of celebrity worship really escalates it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Normally I'm bored by bands performing the song in the music video but it's put to such good use as part of the plot here, and the performance itself is so energetic and awesome. So much to enjoy about this video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddie86 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm kinda wondering why Billie didn't use the les paul junior that he had repainted over the summer in this video. When the guy refinishing it posted the pics of it he said that it needed to be done by a certain time, which is weird seeing as how they haven't had the guitar in any photos or videos yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
