Music video for One Eyed Bastard

[Little Boy Named Booze]

They can drive? They look like they are 15 years old wtf, strange video 😅

[DookieLukie]

Weird video. Don’t get the point.

I hope the guy they buried was a pedophile, that was my takeaway after seeing his captors were little kids. At first I thought they were gonna bury the poor SOB alive but they didn’t go quite that far. Wild video, very reminiscent of a classic 80’s vid that tells a story I got drawn into it. The guys look great in the performance bits I always appreciate when they’re included

Meh Green Day trying to be genuinely scary/menacing is just ridiculous to me and the masks are hideous so I prefer the cute video with Mickey Mouse lol. Billie's outfit is fabulous though

Feels like a weak/unfinished idea of just literally showing some evil mobster stuff happening to someone to go with the lyrics and then I guess the kids are supposed to be a twist. Kind of lame

Not sure the new video really adds anything but I like to see them too.  Agree with @pacejunkie punk that the guy was a paedophile or abuser.  Loved Billie’s shirt, another one with lots of text like his one last weekend.

Confused by the point of the video? Not sure what the message is…still wished they did a video for coma City as at the end of corvette summer a welcome to coma City sign was seen. Or 1981 as that was shown as graffiti in TADIKM or Susie chapstick or father to a son as every time that was played it was always professionally recorded still hoping for a live dvd 📀 or something of them playing Saviors in full. Which they chose stronger songs for their last two video corvette summer and OEB are not the best ones 

[stories and songs]

I’m so used to watching their live performances of OEB that hearing the original, much slower version of it is strange at this point. 
 

The music video is fine, but I agree with those saying the narrative feels a bit bare/incomplete. They had a lot of excellent music videos for this album and this one just wasn’t quite on that level.

[Fuzz]

I don't feel like it lives up to the song itself, which I think it much more energetic than the video felt. But it's fine.

[Christian's Inferno!]

Tbh I've barely returned to any of their music/lyric videos since RevRad. The lyric videos from RevRad were cool and I still think a lot of their music videos from the 1994-2016 period are awesome but I just don't watch them anymore. Their new videos just don't do much for me personally.

[ThranaM]

This was just like the Bang Bang video where they robbed a bank instead of living out the real potential for making a badass music video with a dark undertone.

Really don't get this OEB video at all. 
Love the song, though.

 

[GreenDayJunkie86]

...creative? Whatever it is, all I can think about is Billie flipping off the camera. That gave me butterflies lolll. Besides that, I don't get it, but our boys look fabulous in the performing parts

Wow, it’s a lot like that actually.

[The Grohl]

The video was fine. I loved the performance bits. Billie looks fabulous. The whole time I was thinking he shouldn't have so much hair at his age! The overarching story? Eh....sure?? But the real star of the show is the OEB plushie. I want one, please.

This is the only Green Day video I really don't like. The song is so much fun and seeing someone getting tortured/killed isn't, and neither is a child abuser (if that's what he's meant to be), and everything is ugly. Just an unnecessarily unpleasant video. The original is perfect so I'll stick with that.

[Cris.]

Well that took a dark turn 😐

I thought that too... either pedophile or domestic violence? But very dark turn either way.

Yeah, totally agree (except there are two other GD videos I really don't like)... and it's a shame too, because the performance bits were quite good, and as mentioned the guys are looking cute as ever.

If they wanted to ever go dark or edgy then Bang Bang would have been THE song to do it in. Not OEB. I still have no idea the meaning behind the OEB video. I also wish they would add Bang Bang to the set list as it was a #1 single and cut Know Your Enemy or even May hitchin a ride. But overall waste of a video should have put the production and money behind a different song. TADIKM made sense to go wild. Ashamed that that song seems to have dropped from the setlist
