tuwlol Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 ^^ Exactly I like how it was shot, the bullets flying thru when the set goes dark is lovely but I don't get what's going on with the main characters, maybe i'm too old now, but teenagers snogging just doesn't do it for me :/QFT. The imagery, the background was great, but I think Christian and Gloria would have had better chemistry if they didn't like..makeout for a good portion of the video. Maybe more WMUWSEish? Though I know a lot of people on here don't like that video, so meh.Overall, me gusta!
McBeth Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 It's okay. It's pretty. Not their best video, though. I guess the whole concept for this was taken from Billie's description of the album as being about "chaos and destruction while making out with your girlfriend" (something like that).
Nova-Caine Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 QFT.

Kaddi. Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 So, now I gotta try to remember everything I wanted to say about it 1. I love the close-ups of Billie's face... and yes, he looks great.2. The kiss is really nice, I like the whole solo with the switches between Billie playing the solo and Christian and Gloria kissing.3. The setting is a little bit weird. For me, it doesn't fit that the band is standing there in this living room or whatever it is. I think they should've been in some place that looks totally different from C&G's room/flat.4. I don't really know what to think about these gun shots during the chorus. Seems a little bit cheesy and very (maybe too) close to the lyrics.5. Gloria is beautiful and I like her style. Christian looks pretty much like I imagined him to look.All in all... I think it's better than the KYE video (although I liked it), but not one of my favorites. Billie never looked better though.
Teenage Kicks! Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Ya know...after hearing people breakdown this video (no pun intended hehe) I sorta respect it alot more.I mean...It's no Longview or Walking Contradiction but eh it's cool.Ok now I know I'm old what does QFT stand for? Is it something mean? When I saw QFT I thought, "Quite Fucking Terrific" O_o
jetsrule128 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 i kept expecting Jason White to be shotgreat video though
.Brian Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 i don't know why everyone keeps saying that billie never looked better.i mean, he looks good. very good. but he always does.there are videos and pictures where he looks better in my opinion.for example the grammy's or the hawaii photos from '06. :D
DistilledxSpirits Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I found it a tad boring TBH.I always prefer videos with a bit of humour in them. I quite enjoyed BJ's face twitching though!
farley drexel hatcher Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Billie's 'face twitching' definitely seems to be one of most people's favourite parts

sydneygirl Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I love it! Gloria is gorgeous and Christian is perfectly rough-ish. They both are perfect as the characters - even better than I imagined them to be. And I love the video, I like the setting, the mood, and of course Green Day. The guys look fabulous and it's great to see Jason White in there.I'm very pleased with the video and it certainly does the beautiful song justice. I think I'll be watching this clip many more times.
Ally Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 music channels seem to be hammering this song already, just seen it twice in the space of 10 minutes, once of scuzz and on mtv hits too! Still love it
emmaILGD! Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I've been in such a shit mood since I got up this morning. Yesterday when I saw the video I didn't really feel much emotion, I was just overwhelmed by excitement, but today I saw it, saw the look in Billie's eye's when he's looking straight into the camera, and burst into tears
Chandler Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 i just LOVE how my computer is a piece of shit and wont let me watch the video no matter what site its on!!! :verymad:
SidBenjo Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I honestly didn't like the part where Gloria picked up the phone and threw it in the fishbowl. It just... didn't fit. But other than that, amazing video for an amazing song.
Beathe. Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I like it better than the video for Know your enemy. BJ was so cute. But I don't think Jason should be in the video, he isn't a band member..
Marlon_GD Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I like it better than the video for Know your enemy. BJ was so cute. But I don't think Jason should be in the video, he isn't a band member..It is a better video than the KYE one.But why do you disciminate Jason? I'd like you to go to a 21st Century Breakdown concert, without Jason there... Then you'll feel what he means for Green Day, and I think he deserves a place in the video

Then you'll feel what he means for Green Day, and I think he deserves a place in the videoI didn't do that. I've seen GD concerts without Jason and they were fine, so I wouldn't care. The fact that he plays live with them doesn't make him a part of the band. Why not bring Jason F. in the video as well then. :/
Nobody_Likes_You Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 ^Jason should just look more friendly at the concerts.
Seedless_Reject Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 The video is amazing, but I couldn't help but realize that when the second (?) gunshot goes off by 'Gloria' it's right behind her, wouldn't she die? I mean I know the bullets were blanks/explosives, but that still had to hurt.I still think 'Gloria' looks like Brittanya from rock of love bus, just add the facial piercings and tattoos and there you go.
Astrid. Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I can't watch it!Not even when you download it? Try this one It's right on the frontpage.. http://www.nme.com/home
