SBQM video premiere tonight.. hopefully

[Edrose]

how does that video relate to the song at all??

oh dear... it was even worse than the video with the cartoons

[CheapJon]

woah.. i'm glad that the "die-hard" vr fans also didn't like it. i thought that i was gonna be bashed a lot



after what slash and scott said about it this was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge let-down.. why hype this shit so much?

[chineseblues]

woah.. i'm glad that the "die-hard" vr fans also didn't like it. i thought that i was gonna be bashed a lot

Have you read the vr fan board? They are all saying its brilliant and the "greatest video ive ever seen". 

[Alan]

i enjoyed it, seems like they were just having a bit of fun.

and after reading the script i'm so glad slash wasn't throwing guitars about like the director originally wanted.

[Genesis]

Hey, although I don't like the song, the video wasn't as bad as some of the reviews in this thread. A bit cheesy, yes, but not bad.

[sjgotnitro]

Well, I think the video was not good but i would not say bad.

I still like the music, the lyrics and vocals are garbage.

[Fingers]

It's ok-it's hard to make a memorable video anymore, I would have liked more of a performance shot of the band maybe in the second half-I just seen Ozzy's video on VH1 which was nothing special-it's ok, I read the comments by Slash and Scott yesterday and was expecting something better. It is a bit cheesy

[Butch Français]

good action movie, I must say!

[Irish rose]

its not the best but not the worst eaither...to me it looks like someone put music over 5 minutes of a film because i dont think it goes together very well

i did like the part with the fire though and slashs solo was funny with the man on fire behind him!

[younggunner]

Scotty is the new John Wayne

[Grouse]

Anyone else notice how out of place slash looks..

He's like what the fuck am I doing here, where's the beer 

[Ines_rocks!]

lol omfg... I dont even know what to say! what is the video supposed to be? It?s so stupid... oh god lol... I kinda dont have words at all...

[MotherGooseLuvR]

Made me laugh.? I had fun for four minutes.

What more could I want from a rock song or a video?

When rockstars try to do something significant with a music video, I think they end up looking silly.? Dolphins, people.

This was just silly fun.? Don't take yourself too seriously.? Otherwise you'll spend a generation working on a concept album about an ex-girlfriend.

Totally agree with you.

Doesn't anyone think this video is all a bit tongue in cheek? Its supposed to be funny. Cmon its like a cross between the A Team and a Spaghetti Western. Its a bit of fun!!

Great song, great video. Nuff said. Hope this does hugely well.

Most of you guys would worship and proclaim it the best video ever it if it was another band.

I'm sure guys like you would call it lame if it was by that "other" band 

The video is corny.  Weiland's quote about it said that he didn't want it to come out cheesy and that it's "badass".  So he apparently took it somewhat seriously, I don't think they would care if it was a bit cheesy if it was tongue in cheek.  But it was cheesy.  You can throw it in the so bad it's good category though

SLASH WROTE- Its been very busy out here on tour, but I just had to let u know how fuckin' great the video is, not that I ever had a doubt, u were so committed to this project, but it really surpasses the standard by which the music video medium is currently dictated. I'm thankful that we chose u to help us realize the "vision" that we had, I don't think anybody else could have come close to accomplishing what u accomplished.Its the best video I've ever been involved with, for sure. Its as good or better than any of those epic GnR videos at half the cost in half the time. Not really ANY comments from me for change, it all works the way it is, I don't want to fuck it up. There is a couple shots of me during the spyglass section in the beginning that are a little lackluster, but everything else, the solo, the van, the fight scenes are killer!

SCOTT WEILAND WROTE- You guys are fucking geniuses. You made our vision come alive, but more than that, you took it to another level. I'm more pleased and more proud of this video than any other video I've worked on in the past. I guess the best compliment that I could give to both of you is simply to say that I have absolutely no comments and no requests for changes to be made (this has never happened).

Err, what was that you were saying about "...just silly fun.? Don't take yourself too seriously".? I think perhaps you were directing your comments at the wrong person.

Guys like me? Whats that then? Someone who can like more than one band at once? For the record I didnt say 'that other band' I said 'another band' meaning any other band not the one you are thinking of.

Oh well, if its so bad its good at least you admit its good!!

So you are implying that people would worship this video and proclaim it the greatest ever if Linkin Park or Good Charlotte made it?  Or was there another band you had in mind?

The video is funny because it's so cheesy, but acccording to at least one bandmember they didn't want it to be cheesy.  It doesn't seem intentional.  The video doesn't have anything to do with the song either so it loses points for that too

Eh, their goal was to make a fun video.

I think they did it. ?I think their comments about being pleased with the video are meant as in relation to those goals... fun video.

When they say "bad ass," I think it's meant more subtley than Axl would. ?Look at the Darkness videos. ?They're silly too, but in a more over-the-top way. ?

You guys seriously need to relax. ?I know you're frustrated that Axl can't seem to make music or videos anymore. ?But trashing VR for having a good time won't get Axl any closer to releasing music of his own.

I don't think it's a "great" video.  But I don't think it's a "great" song either.  Just good fun.  Meant to put a simle on your face.  If you want humorless self-importance, go listen to the Blues.

its a video not an oscar nominated movie for christ sakes

it has a hot girl, explosions, guns, laughs, a classic slash guitar solo scene....what more could you want in a rock video. geez give it a rest
