classof12 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Sorry if there's already a topic about this, but I didn't saw it. Yesterday I was looking for some GD videos on youtube and I came out with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_9ND5SEDQ an unreleased vid of whatsername song. I think it would have been great that Whatsername was an AI single, but the vid sucks a little, imo. What do u think?
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 lawl this thing again Yeah, it sucks. In short, I don't like how it portrays Whatsername as a fallen person crawling around on the floor like a drunk slut, instead of portraying JoS's thoughts and (scarce) memories of Whatsername where half the song consists of "I wonder what she's doing right now" and you know, everything else the song is about. I don't think this was a finished product though, possibly just parts of this would be used for a final video clip.
lizziebix Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 It's been talked about, nothing new Instead, why don't you point her to the thread where it's been discussed. Telling her just that it's been discussed is so unhelpful and rude.
Nobody Likes Cam Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I feel like this isn't a real GD video. If it is, it's worse then Know Your Enemy...

jtdscape Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Instead, why don't you point her to the thread where it's been discussed. Telling her just that it's been discussed is so unhelpful and rude. It's been talked about, nothing new Andres and I decided to leave this open since it hasn't been discussed in about a year.
Fuzz Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah, since we have new members since this was originally posted, I think there's no harm in allowing a new conversation to happen about this. I feel like it wasn't ever meant to be a proper video, but rather just something done by the crew who did the JOS videos. I could be wrong, but that's how it feels to me.
classof12 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 I think it'd have been much better if it shows Jesus remembering Whatsername
Karen. Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 My first thought was Gaga, (but in slow motion or something). I don't like it. Such a great song, such a crappy video. RNJ is my Whatsername.
Hermione Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah, it's not an "official unreleased video". It's just some unreleased FOOTAGE. When it first turned up it didn't even have any sound on it, someone added it afterwards. Chances are if they were planning to make a video for the song this was just one of many pieces of footage that they might've used bits of to make it. There's never been any indication whatsoever that this is an actual video other than people lying about it on youtube to get more views on their video. Glad they didn't make a video using this though , even if they'd only used a few seconds of it.
lizziebix Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Andres and I decided to leave this open since it hasn't been discussed in about a year. I think it's a great idea to keep it open. That wasn't my point. Sorry if it came across that way.
Guest EDIT Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I didn't think I sounded rude when I said that it wasn't new, sorry. Anyways, yes, it's a unfinished leaked video. There was no sound originally, as stated above, it was added by the first person to put it on YouTube, it was unfinished. It sucks, yep, that's pretty much it.
Malleus Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 It is pretty bad, but to me it's not quite as bad as those god awful green screen/whatever the fuck scenes in the Holiday/BOBD music videos. This is just an unfinished product though, so it's not really fair to compare it to other music videos.
gdpony Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Whatsername is such a beautiful song, this video just doesn't go with it at all. This is super old news though haha.
BringMoreKnives Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Not a bad little video. I think it's supposed be about what she's turned into since St. Jimmy left, which is aparently a drunk mess.
Burnout98 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Yeah i've seen it.... It's not that good. And its really really old news
Annie, get your gun Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I know the video it's very old, but I never saw it, so I can say too much about it. It seems to have no sense at all... even if they were only to use parts of it if such 'official' video would actually exist.
Kristen M Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 This drunk chick is the total opposite whatsername than the whatsername RNJ portrays in the musical. I don't like this one. hahaha
green day is Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I get so fucking pissed at people who call this video terrible, because it's not finished, and that's so fucking obvious. Not pissed as in ranting at them about it, but it just bugs me so much.
mallorymaloney Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I get so fucking pissed at people who call this video terrible, because it's not finished, and that's so fucking obvious. Not pissed as in ranting at them about it, but it just bugs me so much. Exactly my thoughts! And personally, I don't mind this version of Whatsername. To me she always came off as scared, stoned, drunk, lost, dirty, desperate, and sad. She's real, and that makes her beautiful to me. She's one messed up chick.
uhleckseee Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I haven't watched this video and I kind of refuse to. I have a beautiful representation of this song in my mind and I'm not about to spoil that with how Whatsername was portrayed in the JOS video. I'll admit, there were positives about that video, but...it's just not right. I don't want this to get ruined for me. lol
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 What I also find weird about this video is that this is a chick that's at a party in the JoS video, which according to the story can't possibly be Whatsername. Now I'm not all "have to stick to the storyline!!!!!!!!!!!!!", but it's just... yeah. Meh. And she's "singing" the lyrics which is just plain weird. As for calling this a terrible video... it is. It may not be/isn't finished, but that doesn't mean that this thing isn't terrible. I generally don't like this whole idea of Whatsername "coming back" into the story as a mess. The whole song is about the memory of Whatsername that JoS has and wondering what happened after and thinking back to their time. This video fills the ending in for you instead of leaving it a question, and it's one shitty ending of her story if you ask me.
