May 15, 200818 yr Well, I just watched the Violet Hill video, and I wasn't very impressed. It's a low budget, low-quality video that is random and chaotic, don't get me wrong, I'm not mad or anything like that, I guess I just had an image or an idea of how the video could have looked. But as well all know, those ideas in your head rarely turn out to be the real thing. Oh well, it's a kind of a funny video, and I look forward to their next video! Any thoughts?
May 15, 200818 yr I liked it to be honest. I didn't get the bit with Will and the rock tho :laugh3: that was abit random. I thought the bit round the piano where they're all headbanging was funny, liked that bit!
May 15, 200818 yr I am. Specially the part where Chris uses the magnifier :) yeah that bit is well cool! :D
May 15, 200818 yr yeah, i didnt like it a whole lot either tbh...but it doesnt bother me that much since the song itself makes up for it
May 16, 200818 yr I really liked it, I thought it was fun and a bit like a French impressionist film, actually, with the random chaos and then suddenly dead-serious moments, it was a bit Beatles and Python-esque. It was like watching a bunch of normal guys being ridiculous. Which I like.:laugh3: That 'intrepid explorer' look on Chris's face when he was trudging through snow was just hillarious. Actually in afterthought it kind of reminds me of the Blur video To the End, which was a spoof on a french film of sorts... EMI got to the YouTube rip, btw, incase no one noticed....:thinking: Have to wait for a couple of days for the gen. release.
May 19, 200818 yr I can't say I'm overly keen version of the video either, but the Political version is brilliant, I really love it!
May 20, 200818 yr I agree with Jpw48. Violet hell. err hill lyrics are very rich, and precise. But the political video, is much better...
May 20, 200818 yr If anyone has seen Marilyn Manson's video for the 'Beautiful People' ( I think) he uses a mag glass too,it kinda reminded me of that when I saw the video,except ALOT less scary,lol The video is okay,they couldve done better but I like the song so it doesnt really matter.
May 20, 200818 yr Well actually I enjoyed the political one more, the music goes well with the outrageous footage. And they throw in some random clips of the original VH video which fit quite nicely. For me its which one is more enjoyable, and in this case the political one keeps me entertained. Not that Coldplay doesn't entertain me :P but if I had the choice to watch either of those videos WITHOUT the music playing (granted, thats a little weird since the original actually has the band "performing") then why wouldn't I chose the hilarious montage of world leaders dancing and acting like idiots? Its just more visually entertaining... But I still love me some Violet Hill :nice:
May 21, 200818 yr They released 2 videos? coz i've seen only one, that one that starts when they climb up violet hill.. where can i see the political vid?:thinking:
May 21, 200818 yr With the theme of the album, its only fitting that they went in a political direction with the song and I applaud it. However I can do without the original. If you go back to X&Y, Talk and Hardest Part, weren't that good either so what can we expect?
May 21, 200818 yr I'm not fond of either video. Well, I actually think they're great - BUT NOT FOR THE BANDS COMEBACK SINGLE! This is more 4th single video material.
May 21, 200818 yr They released 2 videos? coz i've seen only one, that one that starts when they climb up violet hill.. where can i see the political vid?:thinking: coldplay.com link on the right hand side, can't miss it
May 24, 200818 yr Where it might not win any awards, it's a good video, and in an age where music videos are becoming less and less important to promote songs. Nice simple video, nothing to fancy, gets my thumbs up
May 24, 200818 yr at least it didnt have a bunch of naked girls humping their legs while they smoke weed and talk about their bitches and hoes
May 25, 200818 yr I don't think I could imagine Coldplay like that, it paints a very funny picture doesn't it?
May 30, 200818 yr It was ok but the bit with Will and the rock was random... creepy. But the best bit has to be the headbanging when they are all taking a turn on the piano. I just thought you would just see Jonny rocking out on the guitar on that solo!
May 30, 200818 yr at least it didnt have a bunch of naked girls humping their legs while they smoke weed and talk about their bitches and hoes Damn right!
