How many songs are in this video? Or better yet, what songs are there clips of?

The bit where they're "head-banging" to Getaway in the car was pretty bad. I'd understand if it was something like Blood, but come on.

Interesting to see and very well done. But not a whole that we hadn't already been exposed to, other than the interviews (which we already had summarized from the listening parties), face time, the shots of them playing MYM and LB. No audio from anything new. The little Future Days acoustic was nice, I guess. Nice, quality clip of Getaway at the end (better than the leak), but only a clip.

All in all - meh

Were the guitars like 3 times more agressive on Getaway? Is this what B'O'B was talking about? Or is our leak that shitty? QUESTIONS

I don't know, he seems happy to rock out to his band's song. I was ok with it

Ya know, that little clip of Ed playing FD was pretty. I didn't hear that intricate (I use that term loosely with Ed) guitar work on the live version.

It's at the end and about 30 seconds of the beginning of the song. You could stop when you see Ed in a car at the end. (At 7:40)

You can shut it off at around the 7 minute mark and be safe. :thumbsup:

It sounded much more distorted because it was turned up too loud in the car, I think. I'm not expecting it to sound that awesome on the record. I was a bit weirded out that all of the live footage was shot over studio versions, but I wouldn't mind if a studio version of Sirens was released with the video. The clip implied that there was one.

Getaway sounded so much better coming through that old car speakers than the leaked version we have!

Yeah, if Ed plays it that intricately on the record it could be nice.

C'mon man...you can find better things to critique. (Harmless).

They play that in concert my head is going to do the same thing. I'll even send you a video postcard of it.

Sometimes I can see why someone points something out, agree or not, sometimes....well...
