[Vdalem]

How hi can they go?! I mean: They did water, fire, computer, and anima. What's left?

*snap fingers* Unplugged!! That would be so sweet!!!

Papercut? :lol:

Well, so far we've had (in chronological order)...

Ninjas!!!1eleventyone!!111!
A hot girl crawling around in ice
A big statue and a bigger whale in the middle of the fuckin' desert
LP playing unplugged with Rob's melting face and some crazy blue guy in the next room
Robots beating the crap out of each other
Chester dreaming about Mike catching on fire while hanging out with a bunch of hobbits
LP playing live, seen mostly as shadows from the back
An emo girl watching the whole world pass her by while LP rocks out in a church
A big riot that gets broken up when a little kid's scream kills everybody
Chester un-falling from a building and playing on the roof...anime style!

So the next video...hmm...something with lots of explosions I hope. ^_^

What? What video was that?

[Dušan]

Reanimation version of Points Of Authority

[...Lauren?]

Chester dreaming about Mike catching on fire while hanging out with a bunch of hobbits

Which video was that?

[Skorned]

I think he was joking, haha.

I just want them to pull some crazy idea from their arses and blow us all away, i could care less what the video is about.

That was awesome. :lol:

[Cartman]

well i really wanted them to shoot a video for Nobody's Listening and i had a gr8 concept in mind. anyway, i'd want it to b a black n white video in a "crouching tiger hidden dragon" kinda place where Mike'll transform into Chester ryt after he's done with his verse! and the other members will just appear and disappear in smokey kinda effect, playin their instruments. its hard to explain, thus hard to imagine..i knw!!

[Mark]

Which video was that?

Somewhere I Belong?

The description was a tad hyperbolic, but pretty obvious.

I don't know what's more difficult to imagine; your video synopsis or the chance of Nobody's Listening becoming a single.

[Luke/Hellflame]

I wanted Nobody's Listening to be a single aswell. Only problem I saw of that happening is that it only really appeals to the hip-hop community.

If I knew what hyperbolic meant I'd probably be inclined to make some type of joke about me always being hyperbolic right now. <_<

I agree. It took me a long time to even figure out what the first lines out of the song meant, but then I realized he just stole them from Jay-Z.

[DigitalRosh]

I don't know why everyone bashes on Nobody's Listening. I actually liked that song.

[Skorned]

Maybe they can do mroe Computer design shit, like maybe they can take an idea like the Pt.s of Athrty (or however it's spelled), only make it into a more dramatic video like In the End. Im not saying use those same ideas cause thatd be stupid, but im just hoping they flow off that type of thing.

[Chris Luke]

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez should direct the new video. Nothing better then cheesy nu metal and some fucked up pudding and some birds and weird shapes.

[Zak]

I don't know why everyone bashes on Nobody's Listening. I actually liked that song.

I liked the song, too. I just think the raps were a little odd.

Maybe a water themed video? I cant think of anything imaginative at the moment lol

[Zak]

If they made a video for Nobody's Listening does anyone picture yellow and brown? I picture that for some reason. And maybe some red.



I think the new video should be dark. Black. Lots of black. And a piano in a cornfield. They should really try something mysterious.

I wouldn't say he stole them...it seem a little....harsh to say he did...I mean...he only quoted him...

I don't know...I think they should break it down and do something without effects...like...a real simple video...just really tear it up with their performance...imo

[Cartman]

anyway, i'd want it to b a black n white video in a "crouching tiger hidden dragon" kinda place where Mike'll transform into Chester ryt after he's done with his verse! and the other members will just appear and disappear in smokey kinda effect, playin their instruments. its hard to explain, thus hard to imagine..i knw!!

aahh i meant the new video:blush:

Actually i think a live video would be cool. With live audio and everything of course. just to show everyone that they're an awesome live act

noway!! they gotta take the challenge and make a kickass vid^_^

[Louis]

Personally, I don't care what route Linkin Park takes with any of their new videos.

The way I see it, every video has been relatively different. From the absolutely wonderful descriptions (:lol:), you can tell that every video has been different.

Knowing Linkin Park and how they've been with videos. the video for their new single, whatever it may be, will be different from the rest. You don't know the single so you don't know how the video is going to be. But the way I see it, the song will be different from anything Linkin Park has done, as will the video.

And HybridSoldier, I like how you say they should take the challenge and make the video because they probably haven't performed the new single live prior to its release, so they have no choice but to take the challenge. Oh, and it's not really a challenge they take. They set it up for themselves. ;)

[Cartman]

they probably haven't performed the new single live prior to its release, so they have no choice but to take the challenge.

that's what i was about to say by editing my last post:lol:

[Harlz]

Fair point you two. Guess a live video is out of the question then. Bugger.
:cloud:

[EdGreene]

I remember they used the live video for Lying From You has the video and I always felt they could have made a much better video for that one. Or for Nobody's Listening, they could have had it in a CGI Japanese garden like In The End. The trees could have white leaves and be all freaky-deaky and stuff. Maybe Joe's face could melt this time too.

But how does the band tie in? Do they play in the horse? 'Cause you know they gotta play!

Coming April 2007: Linkin Park - Live from the Trojan Horse! :lol:

[thatrsdude]

I doubt Linkin Park will be making any video clips for their next album, for the same reasons that Pearl Jam didn't on their later albums. If you look where Pearl Jam started off, they used to seen in the same light by society that Linkin Park is now, and they got so fed up with the criticisms that they were in it to feed kids with garbage for money that they stopped making video clips for a while to prove that they're in it for the music. Video clips are often a waste of time and money and are used to sell records. If Linkin Park continue to make videos, their reputation will go down the craphole forever.

You may get a live concert shot, but that's it. MTV said that they weren't playing Linkin Park anymore because they were 'too commercial', makes a lot of sense doesn't it? Well this always happens to someone who's a victim of corruption, and if the bands motives are what I think they are, there won't be any video clips.

Besides, video clips often lose the mystery in the song anyway. A lot of money would've been spent with the last 11 that were made, and it would be wise of them to take a break. It's the music that should be important, nothing else. Argue with me all you like, but don't look too shocked when you find out that I was right.

With the talents of Joe and Mike, i think there should be a clip.
But what u say makes sense, dont hope its true though!

[EdGreene]

NOOOO. We MUST continue the speculation. We MUST figure out how they are going to pull of a performace in a wooden horse with men...rolling on the ground...naked....

I say they still make a video. The guys (esp. Mike and Joe) just seem like they also love the art side of it with album art and music videos, so I don't know if we shouldn't expect a video for the first single. Maybe not one for every one they release, but I think the first single gets vid treatmeant.

[Cartman]

I DEMAND a video!!!

[XVZ]

I'm sure if it, there will be a video for the single, anyways it's March now, so the new single/video will be out this month :)

[EdGreene]

Anybody wanna throw an over/under on the day the single is released?
I'm putting March 20 and taking the over.

[Jacen]

:lol: Ok...I'm thinking April 2nd...lets hope I'm right

[EdGreene]

And to thatrsdude...you sir are incorrect. An article already said they shot a video with Joe Hahn in the deserts of California.
It all makes sense now. The horse...in the desert...with men rolling around in the dirt....

[LPArabia]

Don't worry guys, if they are going without the video i will make one.:D

oh yeah:thumbsup:

I inspire a lot from LP's songs

It is a fans video though, so expect anime or CGi stuff.:pcwhack:

Oh no, i hope it aint boring. Dayum.

[EdGreene]

No LP video is boring. There is a much greater chance it will be absolutly disturbing than boring.

[Spectral]

It could be just the band out there playing in the desert.

That would suck.

[Harlz]

I dunno, Faint was a perfomance video basically, and it was good.
And yea i know, it could never be boring, not with Joe directing it anyway.

[Colonel Sanders]

They are probably playing in the desert, a sand storm comes then it goes away, then they are playing to a bunch of fans in some hanger.

Who knows, they could've filmed it at night, when its cold.

[Spectral]

Yeah well what I meant is that there are so many videos that are just a band playing a song somewhere and nothing else. (at least we know it will not be in some kind of rehearsing room, you see that so often) What made faint is those crazy lights, man that video kills. And you know it has to kill to live (up to the hype)

how about LP playing the song in the desert while umpa lumpas run around them saying "its Linkin Park" in a squeeky voice

[Hahninator]

They won't be playing for fans because someone would have leaked it to the LPU that they were in the new video :P

[Cartman]

Yeah. I bet they'll use special effects (that's an LP trademark)
^_^

[Mark]

I've always pictured Linkin Park filming a video in the desert (asides from the CG stuff in ITE). This should be pretty cool.

[colin83089]

I have a feeling that this video will be more raw possibly with a good deal less cg and be telling a story. The first thing that came to mind was Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day as terrible as that is.

[EdGreene]

I'm feeling wind and a lightining storm and explosions. Yeah, let's blow stuff up!

[the_chemist]

Part 2 of the Pts.Of.Athry battle with Jawas!:lol:save that idea 'til the remix the album. :D

[Cartman]

Well now when the clip of the single is out, I wonder how the hell it'll be an LP-ish video, coz the sound is so different(in a gud way)!!!

[laurens]

It is in the desert yes, but we all know what the one and only Mr. Hahn can do with the surroundings... :D
So we never know what we are gonna get, even when they would play in a room 4 by 4 meters, it can be really cool!

[Colonel Sanders]

THEY ARE PLAYING ON A DDCLOCK, THEN IT RAINS IN THE NIGHT AND TH3N MORNING COMES AND ALL FLOWERS R OVER THE PLACE ITS BEAUTIFUL AND DDCLOCK FALLS APART. THE END.

ZOMG DA MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!!!1111one!!!!!!!!shift!!!!!

[Seinfeld]

Seriously?...I think they're gonna make their 'come back' really spectacular...I mean...saying: ''they're playing in the desert....that sucks''

is like saying: '' they're playing in a green room....that sucks''

[Cartman]

I think Sanders mixed it up with In the End video :P

[Cal]

They should do what the Bloodhound gang did with the monkey suits.

[Klootzak]

I bet their's going to be explosions, fireworks and lots of pyrotechniques.:D

[mcrc]

their comeback video will be awesome no doubt about that at all

[EdGreene]

I bet their's going to be explosions, fireworks and lots of pyrotechniques.:D

So basically it's Audioslave's "Cochise" pt. 2.:rolleyes:

Well, the clip on Verizon does sound Audioslave-esque.:whistling

[EdGreene]

^^I meant more on the suggestion for explosion and pyrotechniques in the desert for the video.:lol:

The bad part is most things in a desert have been done. Incubus did the video for "Make a Move" in a sand storm, so I have high hopes that LP is gonna blow me away with something completly new.

[Dart]

since it is in the desert it doesn't leave much possibilities....scar tissue from rhcp was cool and vertigo from u2 was horrible...it just has to be a video of them singing but that isn't going along with lp in general...god...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh !!!!!!!!!THE AGONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe somwhere in nevada...during a nuclear bomb testing :)

[Colonel Sanders]

during a nuclear bomb testing :)

hmmmmm

[EdGreene]

Ladies and gentelmen we have our answer. Countdown clock in the corner while the song plays and at the end the bomb drops but in a very non-cheesy way the bomb stops right before it hits and doesn't detonate. Good job team.

[Cartman]

When can we expect the video to come out? 2nd April?

[lampy13]

i say the video is gonna be war type where the band is playing in the middle of a battlefield

[Colonel Sanders]

Ohh nice, like maybe something about Irack or I-ran. Good point. It could be LP in desert storm.

[Seinfeld]

Just an Idea...but...What I've done...maybe it has something to do with before and after...maybe the desert just symbolizes something...I mean...maybe the video starts like in the end ends...like...beautiful landscape...and then it ends with the desert...to symbolize their starting from scratch (soundwise)....I mean...basically...that's what they did...they said they threw out everything that was old...

[Jacen]

Or................Maybe it could just be a 3:00+ video of the band shaving Brad's afro in the desert :lol:

[Harlz]

That'd take more than 3 minutes :lol:

Holy moly! This video kicksass! It's totally the opposite of what I've expected. But still it's cool to see LP make a video regarding delicate issues like global warming and stem cell research. :thumbsup:

[Harlz]

I'm loving it.

I'm actually suprised at how little we see Brad. During all the guitar parts the focus seems to be on Mike, which i thought was strange.
Totally different to anything else they're done though. Can't wait to see it topping the video charts this weekend :D
:cloud:

[c0rrupt3d]

i cant wait to see the video!!!! it looks awesome from the shots that have been posted.

[The Modfather]

I'm shocked. This is far from what I was expecting,

I actually believe it'll be banned from MTV cause of all the violent imagery it has. Great video though.

[Harlz]

Yea, maybe due to the whole burning cross bit. Hmm, I can't decide if it getting banned would be good or not...

Make the song so much more powerful though, it deserves to be seen.
:cloud:

[lief92]

man that vid was so cool. i just watched it and it blew me away. i never thought that linkin park would have a video about global warming and war, it was totally unexpected. i was a little worried that the new single wouldn't top the charts, but now, i'm really confident that it would, at least in america. it might have the same effect as the black eyed peas song "where is the love" did.

[Version One]

different from most lp vids, but i thought it was awesome with the visual imagery, the scenes of hunger, violence, etc. well done.

[Fatal]

This was a great video! I enjoyed every second of it. It's a new step for Linkin Park.

[Froggy]

the song might be just silver, but the video is GOLD, even DIAMOND!

[Klootzak]

Did Joe Hahn really direct this? All of his other videos are just weird. This is their first normal one! :blink:

[general41391]

Where can I see this? I am not buying it!

I already bought the single twice...lol one was an accident.

[steve12]

I dont know what to think really, dont know why but i just get the impression there being someone there not. It's a good video and good song but just not liking the change in terms of fasion, album cover and the video.

[Colonel Sanders]

who are they trying to be like? Its the music that matters.

[steve12]

I dont know who they are trying to be like, but i'm not really liking it. The song come to think of it is there worse single so far, I just find it weak, and repetitive, nothing special. I still have hopes for the album but just not liking the change that much.

[Dart]

The song come to think of it is there worse single so far, I just find it weak, and repetitive, .


i disagree...the single is just ok,melodic,it's got the old lp,and some changes...it's just ok

somwhere i belong-THAT was bad

I prefered Somewhere I Belong though because it was more diverse and catchy. I understand though that they are changing there direction and style but this isn't much change and it's weak.

i really don't know how any single can be called BAD coz singles are the songs that are the best off the album. this video is indeed different...fresh. Lp gave the people what they wanted...change. people always complained that LP was always the same stuff, well.. this just proved them wrong. and in the beginning of this thread, the whole idea of starting this video with the end of in the end, and the desert...it's almost LP was here and read what we wanted. they always give us what WE want. if they are a handful of fans who don't like their new style, well they can't change the world for them. Lp knows their fan following. Heck, i bet they are the only band who RESPECT their fan following and do so much for it...
the video is classy and neat. Lp has always been neat. certain clips really got me. like before the brigde when the cold wind sweeps over the trees, that was beautiful, and the penguin in the oil...that was real eye catching.
the band members look their best. though rob has never had any great change ever. hahn and phoenix are their meteora self. brad's afro...i can't stop myself from saying that suits him too well, he looks nice. mike's facial hair growth and the rough look, does him well. His goatee needed a little modification and it does him good. the new haircut too... he's not redifining himself to his looks anymore..but to his simplicity and music. like phoenix. the whole jaggered look also adds feel to the video...a feel of need. Chester's aviator glasses, hair and gloves, and the way he works the mike stand.(is this the first video single in which he has a hand mike?)... that's what highlighted his new look. and the band wore all black and tight pants. retro meets nu metal. i sound like a fucking fashion ramp walker reporter...i should stop!!!
but yeh, the video was neat cut. very neat cut. the length of the song really gets hidden because in the short span we get enough to satisfy us. The whole new lp is actually just the same...just a lot more soulful.. and with suitable makeovers. It's great how the band members look so different from each other...i mean, there's brad with the afro and rob...the plain simple self... any other band are just pulled to the center of looking just like one other... except maybe red hot chilli peppers...but not to LP's extent.
Conclusion: Though the video does not have mass appeal like LP's usual thing...it'll take time. LP's songs usually take time to sink, till you've heard it twice or thrice and you really can't think of a better song. Reanimation wasn't a very good experience, but after a couple to hearings...it wasn't all that bad either. So yeh, hurray to LP for another fantastic job!
