Quick escape video

Post by stip »




Great song, but this does feel like a car commercial, right?

Well apparently, I can't escape from Canada. The video has been blocked in my country.

Is not that bad. Especially at the end, despite the 2001 tunnel cliche.

Directed by Samuel Bayer, who made a whole bunch of notable 90s videos - including Smells Like Teen Spirt and Bullet with Butterfly Wings.

I liked the performance part and the part with the spacesuits. The random car-in-the-desert sequence does look like a car commercial

I didn't like it at all, but I can't think of many Bayer videos I like looking at his list of work.

Is that a hybrid? Hypocrisy!!

Actually, I am more concerned that all the BS about recording more is going by the wayside. One does not promote a video for a song after it’s been out in the universe for 2.5 years and then drop new music. We got a long wait ahead of us.

If the band's new music involves either 'Watt' or Josh Klinghoffer, I'm happy for them to wait.

Cool stuff.

I couldn't continue watching because of the car commercial vibe. I was in alternative fuels for years and am a huge EV proponent now. That shit pisses me off.

Kinda wonder why they didn't just make it all live footage. the other stuff just looks like random stock video. whatever.

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?
