Quick escape video

[tree_]

that is the lamest video i've ever seen
and the song hasn't aged well at all

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[spike]

the blue car in the desert stuff is dad rock car commercial, the performance stuff is fine but done to death

everything from the bridge onwards is the first part to suggest drama and a narrative (space suits etc) and look interesting

why are we getting a video for this song now?

Why are we getting music videos in general in 2022

they should've made it some VR experience instead of the car thing.

Video is what it is.

Song is still deadly though. Gigaton is still a top 3 album for me.

there are a handful of artists still great at it; Pearl Jam aren't one of them

[PHATJ]

The video is whatever. Th song is fucking awesome.

[Dex]

If I had had to guess what band it was from the first 20 seconds of the video (credits on screen apart, of course) I would have never told they were PJ. Not in a million years. I would have thought it was some kind of promotional video for dudes like this one:

Agreed. We are getting The signal that there’s no new music coming anytime soon.

It's to promote the release of the Gigaton tour edition.

[VinylGuy]

i would gladly take a movie with that live footage.

Looked amazing.

why wouldn't they use the live track then?

[Bammer]

It’s better than Def Leppard’s latest video.

Surely there is no higher praise than this.

Yeah it's a bit of a mystery, that one.

My guess would be they didn't feel there was a "chorus" that sounded nearly as good as the original or worthy of a video/single. This version of QE is also on the new release, if I'm not mistaken. It's a "double disc", right?

For a band known mostly for its "voice," backing vocals were never its strong suit.

There's actually a visually interesting video to be made based on the lyrics. Bayer had a kernel of an idea with the kid spaceman thing but it just didn't go anywhere.
