am i the only who one who doesn't have a problem with the two dancers?
I don't. They were the point of the video. I don't understand why everyone kicking up a fuss just cause, shock horror, green day used choreographed dancers!!!


i dont think its so much that they used dancers but that they were just kinda always there and did a bunch of annoying stuff.. i read all the comments (not too many so it was easy lol) and i saw that a couple ppl said that ppl didnt like how they used dancers for the Holiday video, but i like the video and think that they made it work in the video.. i personally think that the dancers for holiday was a nice touch :]

now for my opinion on LOTAG video

i was iffy about it.. i personally didnt like the dancers.. i get that theyre sposed to represent "modern day girls" who only follow others instead of doing their own thing but i just didnt like them.. itd be better (in my opinion at least) if they had taken out the blondes and let "Gloria" (haha LOTAG just came on my ipod XD) do the things they described.. like when it says "she's on a hunger strike for the ones who wont make it for dinner", have her tied down somewhere and have a sign that says something cheezy but effective, like "starving to see everyone have a meal" or something along those lines.. cheezy, yes but still be good for a video :]

I found the dancers annoying too.
But I think it was okay. I think the way the car blew up was quite clever, how she like did the gun shape with her hands and went BOOM

it prolly would have been better than just watching a couple bonde chicks just running around and doing weird dances.. like i said b4 its not really the dancers so much as the dancing.. i have no prob. with Green Day using dancers but i personally dont think it worked so much for this video..

that in a way what i meant... ok to me that sounded like i just contradicted myself (but only cause im a walking contradiction XD lol) but if i had to absolutely keep them n there for some odd reason, then id at least keep some of the shots of them dancing or them be in like a school or something and be part of the prep group who just kinda give her dirty looks..

I had a bit of a different vision of the video.

I thought what they could've done was show different girls... real girls act out the lyrics, like MrsBillieJoe95 said. In the chorus, I kinda pictured the girls on a trampoline jumping up and down in slow-mo.

At the end, they could've used footage of there wives and girlfriend... Tre! xD
