Yeah, but this video's taking it further than normal. Like someone said... no blurry background people in this one, even.

Ditto.

I don't blame him! That must've been torture to film.
Oh, and I'm with the band. OMA video sucks. I've always hated it. Perhaps cos it also has too much Raine and no blurry background people? Hmm. Interesting thought.

Has anyone else noticed that in the video, after Raine does the "Looks like the holy ghost is gone (x2), looks like the war was in your head (x2)", they only do the chorus once more before the end, whereas on the CD they did the chorus twice.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I don't get it. A/L/S isn't that long of a song. Why the h-ll do they feel the need to chop of a few seconds of the song while keeping Greenday's "Jesus of Suburbia" for the whole 9 minutes? Yeah..not much of a Greenday fan these days..
Well, I'm not afraid to admit it but I don't mind too much Raine. I thought the focus on him flowed with the song..it would have looked out of place, IMO, if they had focused on the rest of the band just as much.
And OMA was a damn, good video...and complemented well with the song. Very few videos bring the point of the song but if they bring out the energy and the emotion, then they've succeeded.
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong
A longer cut of OLP's video could exist. *shrugs* Clumsy had a video for the radio edit and the album version. I don't see what the big deal about cutting the guitar intro is though. With all that slow motion camera work going on, a few more seconds at the beginning would just suck that much more energy out of it.

There's almost always been too much Raine when it comes to OLP videos. And the same goes for any lead singer of any band.
Hmm. Interesting thought.
