They play a bunch of vids and interviews.

I wanted to tape it, just to have.

Damn, i didn't watch it either. Does anyone know if it was the old one, or if it was a new one?

I heard it was a new one .. but I dunno for sure :|

dammit. I have like every single spotlight from '97 on tape and now i've missed this one? i doubt it was new though, cause they just had one on Our Lady Peace.

It was a new one. It showed some old interviews and stuff. Nothing really new. Just SOT and the info of Mike leaving, Steve joining, etc. They sure showed "Starseed" clips a lot though. Oh, one cool thing was that they showed the American vid of Superman's dead. The one with Superman and the evil clowns (which is an accurate portrayal, clowns were sent straight from hell in my opinion). I've never seen it before today, so it was a treat.

I don't like clowns :|

I have the american version taped from when it first came out and was played on mtv. It's so old that Matt Pinfield introduces it, and talks about how there's a superman movie in the works(which apparently never happened), and how OLP is an up and coming band from toronto. I like that video...when Raine says the last "subway" he spits a ton and you can see it go flying in the backlighting. I don't know why that stands out to me, but that was the part that stayed with me over the years. I love that video. It brings back such memories of when I was a wee-olp fan. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I noticed that they played the second version. However, I noticed that MM started playing that version after only airing the first one after a few times. So really, It's the one that i'm used to. I kinda miss the old one....

Okay, woah. What is the difference between the two? I asked this a long time ago, and no one ever told me more than "the endings are differnent". What's different about them? I never even thought to watch for that, because I just assumed it would be the Canadian version...

The Spotlight was only a half-hour show with a few interviews and stuff. Raine with facial hair and silver sunglasses is scary.

The version of In Repair that I have goes like this at the end:

-Shows the guy sitting in the chair. He then fades away with a cool effect.
-Zooms to a guy sticking out of a chimney.
-Shows an adult and a child walking away from the camera in a field.
-The three-legged thing bounces around the field, then comes up to the camera. You see that thing on a white background, then it zooms in on it's face and ends by fading to white.

Is that the Canadian or American? And what is the other one like?

That spotlight was pretty good, i never saw the U.S version of SMD which is koo. also have you noticed that SOT is like the best song to end a show with, they always seem to play it last and it seems kool how it fades away to the end of the shows.

does anybody have the SD american video on their computer? Because I've never seen it before (I've never seen one OLP video on mtv or mtv2), and I'd like to add it to my collection of videos.
