21 Guns=WMUWSE

[Nova-Caine]

Y'know, I was just about to say the same thing. I hated the direction on what Sam Bayer went for the video of that. Because of that misunderstanding, most people that don't know the first fucking clue about Green Day or it's members, think that song is about war and the hardships that follow when your loved ones have left you behind. I don't know why the guys didn't stop him and go; "Y'know what? We don't like the direction you're going with in this video. It's not true to what the song is actually about. People are going to mis-interpret this song quite dramtically when it's not even about the fucking war. It's about losing your family, about not knowing what to do as a child when your dad's just died of cancer." But they didn't, which was quite stupid for them to have NOT done anything about.

RHS was meant to be an option for the next single, but I think that Green Day obviously didn't think that the song fit and have decided to release 21 Guns. Don't get me wrong, I like that song, I just don't think it fits in very well with the next release. I hope they choose the next single more wisely, 'cause so far... it's not going too well. KYE wasn't that good or strong as a first single, and I'm going to admit that I don't like it all that much. One of the reasons that I liked it was because it was the first thing they had released in over 5 years, but I was a little let down of the repeatitiveness of it all, kinda reminded me of Blink 182 with all their 'Na na na's.'

I agree with you on all of that hun.

I actually think it was Billie's idea to make the video for WMUWSE political, I don't think he wanted the video to be about his father. Just like how he didn't want a video for Welcome to Paradise becuase its about a part of his life, its personal, same with She.

This is all Sam Bayer's fault.

[Foxboron]

who would like to have a bad memory been played on TV everytime he turns on hes tv?

no?

good, then we agree, thats why they chosen that setting fro the video!

That's funny I showed the vid to my sister for the first time the other day to show her how bad it is . Don't you just want to kill that girl?

[Ali]

why is everyone overanalyzing every freaking song??

its really annoying.

[Rita]

Uhm no, WMUWSE is definitely not about war. I'm not a huge fan of either though tbh.

[Peter.]

Erhm, WMUWSE isn't about War, it's about Billies Father..

[Sister of Grace]

Erhm, WMUWSE isn't about War, it's about Billies Father..

can somebody please close this thread?

i think it's senseless.

[Kryssi.]

It's not senseless, it's bringing creative and open opinions . Especially since its' the first thread I've actually sat down and wrote more than a few sentances about.

I really believe that sam bayer raped that song with his video. which is the worst gd video by a mile too. the song is clearly about billies dad, just listen to the words.

the video is epic but it doesn't fit the song.
