Very good point. Plus I have a new word for the day :wink:

But, it is good to see the 21CB video getting so much attention on the web eg I am told perezhilton has posted it as well as many other sites.

I do not think so. Arrivederci ! :D

Well I'll go a little random but i think it's worthy, i don't like to be misunderstood, my english pretty much sucks already .... :/

This is the meaning of dietrologia:

to search for ulterior motives behind (specially political) events

to hypothesize ulterior motives.

If you still don't have a clue, read De Lillo :sherlock:

The whole video is like that from some reason. But who cares? The awesomeness makes up for it!!

I never noticed it on my TV, but I can look later.

Check whether the lip-sync is perfect as well. If it is not then there may be a sound sync problem rather than the video itself. That can be corrected either by using a different source, or by passing through an amp/receiver that allows sync adjustment. I have to do this for some HD programs, ie they are perfect when sound is through my Denon AVR, but slightly out when sound is through the TV.

IS there a point in the album where gloria gets pregnant? Ive been looking to see if I could find any clues but nothing

Just my opinion... but the first part of the song is about Billie's generation (born into Nixon, ...), then it goes into "we are the class of '13". That would be the generation of Billie's son. The new generation. In the video, that's where Gloria has a baby. Then the baby turns into a boy and gets pulled into the TV. That's Billie's disgust at the new generation getting bombarded with crap messages. And i agree wholeheartedly with him. I have a kid in the class of '12, and I can't stand the crap she's bombarded with.

The video is biographical for billie, and having a baby that's part of the class of '13 is part of his biography.

this video premiered on the bands myspace in the U.S.

Yep, #3 video on iTunes and GD has 3 videos in the Alternative top 10, 21CB is #1 there!

The album is doing pretty well on the European chart too thanks to the tour (#35)!

Now also on Kerrang's website (who also confirm 21st December UK single release date). Good to see this video everywhere, I guess GD have next year's VMA best rock video award covered already.

So I think I have started a new bedtime ritual :lol: I keep watching it on my Ipod right before I go to sleep, it is fantastic

Seeing that part with Billie's zombie-like head spinning right before I go to sleep would probably give me nightmares.

No - this is a gloss that Marc Webb added to the video, but it fits perfectly and helps the rest of the song (and hell, the album) make a lot more sense.

Okay so I have the video and must say, I LOVE IT! Watched it 14 times today, 18 times yesterday. I'm a bit of a graphic artist, so this sorta stuff makes me go ape-shit to learn how to do it. However as far as Warner is concerned, I think they didn't release it in the United States because of fear. Fear to shake things up, I mean if you think about it, with the current state of the economy, the only want to release things in places they know are a safe bet. And since 21CB is controversial, then it probably would get a mixed reception, ergo, no video in the states.

Prediction: they're eventually going to officially release it here. They did everything they could to keep the video from getting out of the bag over here (epic fail, mind you!) and still watched it go to the #3 most-purchased video on US iTunes in ONE. FUCKING. DAY. I think this thing has got a hell of a lot more lift here (both the song and the video) than Warner-US's marketing geniuses thought it did.....so my guess is that they're finally waking up to what it really can do for them (read: how much $$ they can make off of it). First "everyone but the US"...then "OK, the video got out and everybody wants it, so if you want it badly enough then go pay $2 for it on iTunes". Today, it's streaming on the band's MySpace page. All that's left to do here now is release the song for radio airplay.

I live in a strange country, working from home today with a mix of VH1, Kerrang & Scuzz coming over the air and I have heard so many GD songs, but only 21CB on VH1. Damn distracting working from home. :D :D :D

I really love the video :wub: - the whole design is amazing. But I don't like the ending quiet a lot :sweat: , I don't know. It's not fitting quite to the first part and for my opinion Mike and Trea are zooming in and out way to fast. Nevertheless it's an aweseome video and the whole meanings of the lyrics have been transcribed perfectly!

GREAT VIDEO! :thumbsup:

Has anyone seen 21stCB on TV yet? I haven't, and i need to know if i should get insomniac to wait for MTV that where i live, it happens to put on music only between 2am-10am, and i usually get up at 11 so that sucks :down:

Anyways, does anyone know if it's on TV already? :turned:

Here in Italy it was on tv on monday, at every hour, then it suddenly disappeared... :o I don't know what to think: if the video is out it should be on tv, right??! it's not on MTV, not on MTV HITS, not MTV brand new, not on vh1 well nowhere :verymad:

But maybe in your country it's different... Hope for you :)

That's Richard Nixon, the former president. :)

He's mentioned in the song; "Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell."

I feel really stupid now. XD

thx for answering
:happy:

I didn't see it on tv yet, i hope it will be soon..

that'll change a bit of all the usual shit
:pinch:

Unfortunately, I don't think so, I'm from Mexico :lol: and i've watched the what's new or sorta hitlist's of every music channel that i have, but nothing yet.

That's weird, it shouldn't've disappeared, specially if it was out already and you've seen it too :pinch: but apparently we can only find in the internet for now :(

I'll keep on waiting as a :ninja: 'til it comes out, tho. What else can i do? :/

:thanks: for replying!

Are you talking about the intro???

Because See the light has the same intro so i guess it's not like a actual part of the song...

Anyway it seems a bit U2ish to me :ermm:
