RobyRoom Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 not really. 'bastard' is tecnically a swear word, and you're not allowed to swear on british tv.The entire world should re set its standards on vulgarity. Swear words are not vulgar in themselvs, especially when they are used to emphasize a concept. In my culture bastard is allowed, even on TV (I'm not saying that it has a neutral meaning, but it's not that negative). Other bad words are not. Music, Literature and any else form of art is not censored unless it concerns race or sexual orientation.
Kaddi. Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I hope they don't cencor it in Germany, but I'm pretty sure they won't. They didn't cencor American Idiot either...
RobyRoom Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I hope they don't cencor it in Germany, but I'm pretty sure they won't. They didn't cencor American Idiot either...They probably won't because of the language barrier.
Kaddi. Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 They probably won't because of the language barrier.Good point. It just pisses me off that I haven't seen it on TV yet. :/
tvrman Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I hope they don't cencor it in Germany, but I'm pretty sure they won't. They didn't cencor American Idiot either...Censorship is inclined to be channel specific. MTV have censored out one word, but that does not mean eg Scuzz will. The JoS video (visually) is another good example - different versions on different channels.tvrman
Alan86 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Hearing it for the first time on TV i was disgusted with the censorship of the word 'bastard'. Its a part of the song where it is building to something huge. The censorship silence in the middle of it ruins that part of the song. Hopefully when SCUZZ or KERRANG get there hands on the video they wont censor it. Although kerrang censors 'god damn' in EJN.
beth hardy Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 ugh..I'm at school and they blocked the music part on mtv. fffffmmmmmlllllllll
RobyRoom Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Fuck censorship.I agree. Censorship is a synonym of hypocrisys.I hate the "politically correct". It is only a way to hide what you really think.
Sanity Loan Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 This video is now available to download in the US on iTunes. I find it funny/weird that this video was released on MTV in pretty much every country except the US and now it is available on the US iTunes? Doesn't make sense to me what Warner is doing..
Kaddi. Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 ^Don't try to understand what Warner does... It's a mystery.
Ingrid Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Okay, I finally made up my mind. My first impression of the video was disappointing, just because it was so different from how I imagined it. But it is indeed, awesome.It's the kind of video that gets better every time you watch it, so... can't wait to watch it x100 more times!And I think the very best part is that for once, (almost) everybody seems to agree about a Green Day video being great
valentinesandcigs Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 This video is now available to download in the US on iTunes. I find it funny/weird that this video was released on MTV in pretty much every country except the US and now it is available on the US iTunes? Doesn't make sense to me what Warner is doing..warner never makes sense they say green day videos can come back to youtube and they still fucking take them downso dont pay attention to themand i think this video can win some awards if viva la fucking vida can be a video for a year or so and still be nominated then this can tooi can rant for hours but ill get bored
stxrlesseyes Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Arguably the best video of the album! That politician kiss was unexpected and brilliant!and my download for it on itunes just finished. yay!
RobyRoom Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I coludn't care less of what Warner does unless the guys from Warner screw up Green Day's job. And this is the case. For the nth time this "2 singles out at the same time thing" is just unmotivated.
Spizz Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 i love how they made the title track's video of the album artthat's all you see in the lyric book, grafitti style drawingsi think they made the video as good and symbolic as they could for the songsam bayer should be wetting himself now
basKT_case90 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 whoever has it from itunes, can u please upload it so we can get it in HQ?

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Okay I KNOW that this is a thread about the video and that this isn't about the video, but ehhh??(it's from the website from a Dutch radio station)And to make this at least a bit ontopic, I hope TMF Rockt! will play it tonight, I'm recording it but they haven't played 21 Guns for the past three weeks, and 21CB isn't in their list of new videos yet...

Tubbie Head Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I'm sure Green Day are mature enough not to be counting the exact number of seconds each of them are in the video or care who's in it most. Billie's face is featured most because his face is singing the song!I knew people were going to start arguing about Billie appearing more in the video! It's always the same thing, again and again.. are my eyes deceiving me or does that say 2min and 32 seconds?is it possible to edit 3 minutes out of a song? wtfOH NOOOOThis song cannot be cut!!!
earlysunsets Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Good point. It just pisses me off that I haven't seen it on TV yet. :/Well I dont know much about it there where you live but I think its still pretty early? :}Denmark is SOO behind! They show music videos like.. 2 months after their release. 21 guns first came up around.. July-August I think, but they were quicker with 'know your enemy' though..
Guest jetblackheart Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 And I think the very best part is that for once, (almost) everybody seems to agree about a Green Day video being great Yeah! Where are all the haters? :devil: It was so nice to read all the comments yesterday because you could almost feel the love we all have for Green Day. :kiss: And everyone was super excited.
Guest Murder City Mayor Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 This video is totally different from Green Day's past videos. Which is pretty good, because most of their videos had the same sort of theme.This video was absolutely kick ass Worth staying up for Will be buying on iTunes if released!
