I'm incredibly unimpressed.
For such an amazing song its such a shitty video.

The entire thing is a guy walking through a 7eleven and a girl smoking. Yippy.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

And though the hum and sway gets me down

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that video does not do the song justice. The guy in the video has got to be the most stereotypical punk ever. I wanted to turn off the TV when i picked up that razor blade. It was so predictable.

Blah to the video. BLAH!!!

The videos for the album started off so well, too. At least to me, anyway.

Wow, Wake Me Up in September ends has a MUCH better video. This one's totally disappointing.

Agreed. I enjoyed everyone of the American Idiot videos but this last one was a let down. I was expecting something really cool but this one just...blew. :uh:


Awesome song. Terrible video. Watch it be nominated for a Grammy. :freak:

Have to say I was shocked to see how craptastic this video was. At first I watched it and thought 'No way they'd play the whole song' but they did. Then I realised that the video was crap and stereotypical of punk, and I'll probably turn it next time it comes on and just listen to the CD instead.

I don't like the video for "Wake Me Up When September Ends", either. Those kids are way too dramatic. My mom walked in the room when it got to the yelling part a few days ago and said, "What's going on? Is he supposed to be acting?" :lol: That made me laugh.

"American Idiot" was very cool. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" was PERFECT. "Holiday" was typical Green Day fun.

The last two videos are stereotypical crap.

I just realized that I had already seen this video!

I saw the beginning of it, wasn't interested, changed the channel, and 5 minutes later went back to much and was like wtf, why is this the same video!? I didn't realize it was green day though.
