gerardsangel4977 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I don't know... personally, I think it was kind of a mistake to make a video like this. I mean, it's pornography. Is that really how Green Day wants themselves to be represented? Come on, guys. Also, my biggest comlaint is too much of the girls and not enough Green Day! This version had much more of the band in it than the previous ones, at least.....and it is NOT pornography. Partial nudity does not equal porn.

Hermione Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 If this video's pornography then so is every Green Day show where Billie flashes his arse or sticks his hand down his pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie, get your gun Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 ^ I don't know why people keeps stating this. I mean, do you really think is THE SAME THING? Please... I saw it yesterday for the first time and I didn't enjoy it. The only cute part was when Tré blow Billie's lighter, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallidpallas Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 This was soooo much better. It sucks as a music video, but in comparison to that first sad awful tripe, it's genius. This one just makes me snicker and roll my eyes. It doesn't make me want to weep in despair for what is lost. And the band is shot gorgeously. In the MTV version (which I won't watch again either) I remember it being 85% bored, dead-eyed bitches. This one has much more footage off the band and even the models magically came to (some kind of) life. Yeah it should be forgotten now. I'm happy with my handful of beautiful screenshots. So funny. I don't come here all the time, so changes in community attitude are really noticeable to me. The night it premiered on MTV, I came here hoping to have my massive hatred of his video validated... but when I saw the stream of praise, I was scared to be thought of as a troll... Instagram was the same way. Now this video is reviled. I agree with GDC again! Lol This version had much more of the band in it than the previous ones, at least.....and it is NOT pornography. Partial nudity does not equal porn. I've seen pornography and THIS video is not it. This is Vogue magazine. Some brief topless shots were basically the only truly explicit thing in it (aside from the torrent of smoking and drinking). It was a comparable amount of nudity as in one issue of those high fashion rags. There wasnt even any kissing or touching, except for Tré playing with some lingerie straps.

Slave To The Network Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Alright, alright. Fine. It's not porn, but still... it's very risque. You can't argue with that. Maybe I just don't like the video very much because I'm a girl and other girls don't turn me on, which seems to be kind of the point of having them there in the first place. I don't know. So I guess it's not really catered to me that much. Oh well, it's just one video. No reason to obsess over it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A song for the lovers Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This version is brilliant! They could've used that intro instead of the "clean" version, which although I liked the video in the first place, I think is miles better. the intro is the best part in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallidpallas Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm not a fan of naked girls. Is it worth it? I'm not a fan of naked girls and im not into hot chicks either but id guess neither is a large portion of Green Days fan base, which made this video so wtf. It was kind of like the video was targeted at a different audience. Like they don't know who their fans or potential fans are. Anyway, as the opinions in this thread reiterate, it's MUCH better than the clean version, it's very differently edited, it's not depressing, there are a lot more shots of the band interacting, showing some personality, and no one looks comatose or zombie like. Its definitely sleazy and risqué but the mood is fun instead of bleak. It's not porn, it's like a cross between a vogue shoot and a very tame strip club. If you aren't horrified by breasts, it's 100% worth it to watch once. At least there is some clue of what the video was intended to be in the first place. And there are some beautiful shots of the band like the one I posted above. If you're outraged by the sight of a topless girl then PLEASE don't watch it!

Hermione Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think Green Day make videos to target/please fans, at least I hope they don't. Music videos aren't adverts, they're pieces of art just like songs are. I'd hope they make videos to reflect or compliment or add new meaning their songs, and I think that's what they've done here with a video reflecting the lyrics about sexual temptation and tension. They make the music and videos they want, whether we as fans like it or not is up to us but it's not up to the band to cater to our tastes.

M0n3y Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Lol, that's not porn at all. I can see more breasts when I go to the beach (And yes, a regular beach). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localinsomniac Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This version wasn't as over-the-top as I thought it would be. Still, much as I love tittehz, isn't this kind of unnecessary? Bastard of 1967 hit the nail on the head: this video -- and the entire album -- kind of spells out a mid-life crisis as it's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
