Femme Gauche Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Green day are becoming such hipsters now being ironic and not trying is soo kewl. but seriously though I liked the video and I already watched it a couple of times which I can't say about the oh love vid. I really hope they use a different director next time obviously samuel bayer has seen his best days. MEH I just want a HIGH quality version I'm not used to low-quality shit anymore #firstworldproblems Yes well, we'll get one when the video is officially released .
Jax Teller Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Please, please please, be offended and shut up about it. He's just joining the discussion, we need people like WWTS to keep the discussion interesting, but with people like your derailing threads immediately after he made a comment we still don't get the interesting discussions that could come from it. Personally, I don't need people like WWTS...Negative comments?OK...But I don't need humiliating comments and discussions infant level...I can distinguish a negative comment from a humiliating.You may find interesting but respect other people that bothered by it...I don't think it makes sense to continue this conversation.You have your opinion and I have my own. End of this issue.
Sarcasm Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 No, it's not how it looks. It's like it the video was too chill for the song, or something. Like the chorus starts but in the video nothing happens, they continue riding bikes or walking calmly on the party. Well, nowhere in the lyrics is running through a party mentioned.

End of this issue. Be bothered by it, but don't derail the discussion into arguing about the stupidity of someone's comments. Let us talk about the video, which is what the thread is for. You can disagree but the discussion isn't to talk about what is offensive and what isn't. One thing I find a little - i mean, just a little bit - awkward in this video is that, because they edited it so that either version of the song could be used, there are some parts where, for the explicit version, it's quite clear they cut away from Billie Joe singing just so that you don't see him saying "fucking".

You're right...I think is a good video.Miles away from the mediocrity of "Oh Love".I believe that the next video (Stay the Night pleaaaaaseee) will be better!!New songs are very nice and it's unfair to not have the same good videos.Samuel Bayer must be recreated.
Kitty Purry Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 The more I watch this video the funnier it gets. First of I can't stop laughing at billie in the beginning maybe it's the jacket but DUDE you do not look good on a motercycle! Mike ofcourse can get it!!! I love how the band looked in the club, billie looks gorgeous. I would also be bored if I was surrounded by hipsters they're the worst. The animal costumes are overdone taylor swift just did it with her video The performance part was awesome I love billie psychotic faces. MORE BLOOD PLZZ!!! Where the fuck is jason!! and finally everything hipsters do just cracks me up What they say, do, wear, eat etc. I just hope green day won't go too far like they did with the emo shit or else I'm afraid I have to mock them too I really hope they gonna play this on the VMA I feel like this could definitly be a hit + I really want a good quality live video
Karol Oliveira Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 The more I watch this video the funnier it gets. First of I can't stop laughing at billie in the beginning maybe it's the jacket but DUDE you do not look good on a motercycle! I thought the same! Mike and Tre look so natural with their motorcycles but it seems that Billie barely knows how to ride, I don't know!
Femme Gauche Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I thought the same! Mike and Tre look so natural with their motorcycles but it seems that Billie barely knows how to ride, I don't know! That's funny, I think he looks pretty awesome .
elisa Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 loved the video, loved the song. *waits for HD version*
Kitty Purry Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I thought the same! Mike and Tre look so natural with their motorcycles but it seems that Billie barely knows how to ride, I don't know! LOL I know right!! He looks so akward and when he's pulling his legs up he looks so scared! Tré looks okay... But mike looks like a true bamf that's for sure!
Femme Gauche Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 mike looks like a true bamf that's for sure! Now that I can agree with. But it's also just the way Mike is. xD.
Kitty Purry Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Now that I can agree with. But it's also just the way Mike is. xD. ooh yess you're absolutely right. Billie would normally steal all the attention but it's Mike's time to SHINE!!! Lately I'm finding mike more and more attractive been kinda ignoring billie a bit.
DannyDirnt Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 LOL I know right!! He looks so akward and when he's pulling his legs up he looks so scared! Tré looks okay... But mike looks like a true bamf that's for sure! Is there something Mike can't do?
WalkingContradictionPL Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I remember Billie said that Jason White would be a DJ or something. Does anyone remember that? No, he didn't say that Jason would be a DJ in vid. He said that Jason was their DJ and the fourth member.
.Holly Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I think it fits the song very well. After the bike part, it's all very chaotic, the camera jumps around a lot and there's hardly time to take in each scene in before it skips to the next one. The song makes me feel like that when I listen. You see a lot of the same scenes again, but then the song itself is very repetitive. If the song is about the confused blur of a drunken night out, then this video hits the spot I do agree with what a lot of people are saying about the bike part. It seems a bit random, and then you suddenly see the disco ball and the night club. For me it doesn't make much sense, but I guess the lack of smooth transition and randomness are in tone with the feelings and meaning I personally took out of the song.
WrongWayToSalvation Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 how does this not fit the music? I'm curious as to what people expected to a song whos chorus goes "someone kill the dj, kill the fucking dj" over and over again. The only "interpretation" I've made is that they're supposed to be vultures in the desert, but still. It's not a song with a much deeper meaning. Would something like longview be better? a video that shows a man get so bored he kills a sofa? I wanted Billie, Mike, and Tre to come into the club with an M16 in each of their hands shooting everyone that moved. Jason is the DJ laying on the floor begging for mercy. Billie steps on his hand, points his gun at him and says "God shows mercy. I don't." then BLAM! No, I don't have a thing against Jason, I just like badass shoot outs.
Undómiel Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 The link in the OP doesn't work. Does anyone have a working one? Also, reading back through this thread; don't be assholes to each other.

miss green day Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 The song and the video are so groovy! I'm totally digging the amped up yet chilled out vibe.
Undómiel Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Eh, it's alright I guess. More to it than Oh Love... The nonchalance of the band I get but the other bits... meh.
burnout409 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I have to say i prefer the Oh Love music video, and i know no one will agree with me, but i personal did.
sampy Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I have to say i prefer the Oh Love music video, and i know no one will agree with me, but i personal did. I really have to say I agree with you. I like this video but I still prefer Oh Love. Maybe we're the only ones..
burnout409 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I really have to say I agree with you. I like this video but I still prefer Oh Love. Maybe we're the only ones.. haha glad someone agrees I didn't mention before but i do like this video yeah ... just not as much as Oh Love
