ChelseaDagger Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I haven't even seen it yet and i'm already getting my hopes down. don't get your hopes down... just wait to watch it and decide what you think! Green Day is in it.... so it can't be that bad
Dalya Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Nice video! I think the video fits the song. Billie said in some interviews that the song is about "static and noise", media controlling people's minds (from what I remember). "Onward Christian soldiers filled with jivin' mind control" For me, in the first part of the video, the band is free, free of the mind-control of the media. Riding motorcycles represents freedom (it was used in several movies before). And they're having fun! Also, they're riding in the desert... no one else is there, the people who are free of mind-control are rare. But then, they're caught by the media somehow and they ended up in that place where media can control - the dancefloor. It is crowded and apparently people are having fun there, because media says you're supposed to have fun on dancefloors. And the dancefloor could also represent a lot of pop and dance music that is on mainstream today. But the band knows better. They're unimpressed. It is like the media can't control them and make them have fun with all that's being thrown in their direction. It seems to me that even when they're playing, they aren't having fun. Billie seems to be mad while he sings, warning everybody. This is my first impression. My interpretation might be wrong, though. Sorry if I didn't express myself well Well written interpretation! I dug the real meaning only after your post
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Totally off topic, you two confuse me ... *pokes usernames* Blame Tristan. don't get your hopes down... just wait to watch it and decide what you think! Green Day is in it.... so it can't be that bad True!

ChelseaDagger Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Omg i absolutely love the video. see?? all was well
WrongWayToSalvation Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 You don't remember 'cause you haven't watch it, then I've watched it twice, all I remember is a lot of "I'm sooo badass and I know it, but I don't give a fuck" type walking.
gdpony Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I liked the video, as I said before, it's simple but it does have a green day vibe unlike oh love. the guys are always.comfortable perfoming, so I loved that part and I really really like this song, so that makes me like the video a bit more. but I agree with the bike thing, it was a bit too long and it gets boring. They should have cut it a bit short or go from one shot to the other I dont know how to explain this, but yeah. overall I really liked the video
WrongWayToSalvation Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Don't mind WWTS, love... He likes to be critical, just leave him be . Haha I don't think there is any sexual tension in this video... Just sex, and a couple of guys who are not engaging with the masses of people around them. I'm like John Lydon. I analyze the room and see what everyone else thinks about a subject, then go completely against what they think. BECAUSE I CAN. BECAUSE IM NOT AFRAID. AND BECAUSE IM BORED.

Annie, get your gun Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 To me is like: Motorcycles - They're going after the "DJ" or looking for it > They arrived to the party, which is boring shit > And because of they don't like it, they end up playing by themselves in a different place. And it's awesome!
Jaymee!! Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 It may just be because I;m drunk but I really don;t get this video.
Four. Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Unnecessary girls in bras, and a bit like an All Time Low video, honestly. Just... ironically. Sort of. Better than Oh Love anyway. Wasn't Jason White supposed to be the DJ though? I wanted to see him! It may just be because I;m drunk but I really don;t get this video. You are not alone.

Four. Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 There were girls in bras? Yes. Also, dancing with blood on their face. How much booze have you had?
AfterShock Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 It may just be because I;m drunk but I really don;t get this video. While the semicolons add to your argument, I must say I don't get what they're going for with the video either. And I'm sober. Wow, it sounds even more ridiculous and random when you explain it... Dude, I'm sorry, but you're coming off pretty bitter in this thread.
Annie, get your gun Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Wow, it sounds even more ridiculous and random when you explain it... HEY. If you don't like it, I get it and that's fine. But I didn't attack you or anything for thinking that way. I'd appreciate that you stop coming here to criticize the video and other people's thoughts. 'Cause I know you're rebel and you're against everything, but stop it, ok?
Guest Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 What is wrong with Green Day lately? Not sure about this anymore.
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 My favorite part is when they look so uninterested in all the dancing shit.
Jaymee!! Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Must rewatch. |Literally konow nothing what any of you are talking abiout
WrongWayToSalvation Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Dude, I'm sorry, but you're coming off pretty bitter in this thread. I'm not bitter, I'm bored. Same tone, different implications.
Jax Teller Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Wow, it sounds even more ridiculous and random when you explain it... She has the right to say whatever she wants...You said...
