http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=270738 Gerard will be directing two videos for "The Black Parade" album...probably the final singles from the CD. One of the songs have been confirmed is the next single "Mama".
"Mama" is a song that was just dying to have a video made for it, so that doesn't surprise me. Gerard directing it was not something I was anticipating. This could be insanely bad or very creative. As long as it's better than the "Teenagers" video, I'm game. (Before you bring out the pitchforks, I didn't hate teenagers, i just didn't like it all that much. )
:stare: Mama is easily the worst song on that album in my opinion. Only song I can't stand on The B;acl Parade.
Awesome, I love this song. I'd like to see them do something other than using fire, because everyone's going to expect that. It'd be funny if Liza Minelli makes a cameo too . Personally, I'd love to see Sleep as the other video.
I think that it would make sense not to have her, actually. I read somewhere that the girl with the gas mask in the WTTBP video was the character Liza Minelli plays in the song. So, I think that it should be that person in the video. Anyways, this news makes me EXTREMELY excited. Mama was my favourite song on TBP, and I can not wait to see the video. Gerard directing should be interesting. As for the next single, im gonna say that it will probably be Disenchanted. That song always sounded like a single to me, though it was my least favourite song on the album. What I would like to see a video for is Cancer. I would want them to make a video for that, or Dead!, with a directors cut that includes The End with it (kind of like with the Miss Murder directors cut).
For an album of this nature, not really. This is one of those album where I would've loved to see videos for every song on this album.
Same. I would of loved them to make a vid for every song. It wouldnt have really worked, though, as they abandoned the whole Black Parade theme about 3 videos in.
Yes. And in response to the news? FUCK YES. I cannot wait. I cannot wait. I cannot wait. Yes, I'm happy. I, like many others, really want[ed] to see videos for every single song on this album, hell, I want[ed] videos for a lot all of the songs from the other albums.
I'm guessing someone is using that as an excuse to milk the album for all it's worth. They could just do what Serj Tankian did. But anyway, for me this is one of their better songs.
Mm. This is probably the song that convinced my to go to the concert, actually. This, and Teenagers, and The Sharpest Lives. Only afterwards did I go out and buy I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love and Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.
For some reason, I can see the video for Mama being a bit strange, simply because the song itself is a bit odd Awesome news though =D
Same. I hope that the video is really strange. Oh, and it should be in black and white. Does the song remind anyone else of pirates? For some reason I always picture the video for this involving pirates. I think its because of the cannon shots at the beggining.
I hope Gerard makes something really cool for ''Mama'' and doesn't try to make it TRL friendly. I think the video should be dark, just like the song is, but humorous in a way too, just like the song is.
Ditto. I'm the same as Mali, I only bought Bullets... and Three Cheers after The Black Parade. Yet now I like Three Cheers better
