I agree with a lot of what has been said. I want Green Day to go back to doing conceptual music videos (e.g. the 21CB music video; I thought that the artistic side of it was gorgeous) as opposed to just clips of the band jamming, even though I love those too. The animated Nuclear Family music video, if I remember correctly, wasn't done by a pro hired by the band. I think it won a music video contest that GD held, or something like that. Wasn't the winning artist's name Kyle Smith? I remember reading that somewhere.

And 21CB, I love that video.

I tried to post the picture with the boppers ages ago but it wouldn't post... so here it is. I love his smile in the bottom picture . Sorry, I can't make the first picture bigger.

Someone has a potty mouth lately

Stand up you fuckin mother fuckers

I love 21cb video, think it's one of their best but also like the AI era ones. Don't like Stray Heart, it's just weird and not in a good way and don't much like the animated one. What was going on with Kill the DJ, one minute they're out tearing around on motorbikes which looked good and the next walking through a nightclub?? I quite like ones filmed in the studio but we got enough of those recently, I think we need something new and innovative which they have done before.

I've just watched the video for 21st Century Breakdown and it fits the song perfectly. The animated video for Nuclear Family isn't anywhere near as good as the 21st Century Breakdown video.

Basket Case was directed by Mark Kohr. HE also directed Time of Your Life, Hitchin A Ride, WICA, amongst others. He did an excellent job with those videos, they were very cute. I had no problem with Sam Bayers directions of Oh Love and Kill the DJ. They are much darker songs than any of the songs that Mark Kohr directed. I find Sam Bayers direction more mature and they used him at a time when they were trying to appear more mature, to change their image. Sam Bayer helped them do that with the AI videos. They were clearly going for a much darker theme with the OH Love and Kill the DJ videos. That is why they chose Sam Bayer. The right director will depend on the direction of the new album. They may want to go back to a funnier themed video or they may want the video to be on the more serious side. Personally, I don't care who the director is as long as it fits the theme of the song properly.

I agree I like some of the older ones the best, that capture the humor of the group. I watch a lot of music videos because of my job. I look up videos of songs for high schoolers to learn on the piano. Basically they write their requests down, and I research them for appropriateness, and arrange the best ones for the class. Well a lot of videos are so serious now, and kind of boring. I still laugh at the "Walking Contradiction" and "Holiday" and "Warning" videos. I hope they do something funny. I know it's just opinion but Oh Love and Kill the DJ seemed so flat to me. I really like both of those songs. Both of those songs have nuances that didn't come through in the videos.

May I bawl my eyes out now? I think it's the right occasion. I mean, my two favorite musicians interacting...the only thing better than this would be if Laura wanted to send the free book to me. Damn now I want them to tour together.

David Letterman retired, but the Late Show did not end. Jimmy Fallon replaced David Letterman. But there are also other late night talk shows. Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert also have shows.

I thought I was reading the fangirls thread with all the arguing over who's the biggest fan. Guess I'm the only one annoyed with the same conversation over and over again. Yes, I get it's all playful but I still find it overkill.

Macy's Day Parade is such an underrated song tbh, I mean it's such a meaningful song, I don't get why not that many people acknowledge it.
