Holy DRAMA fest those last few posts! Apologies for my girlish rants, but it needed to be done. The point that I was trying to make, is that I think guys make us way more complex than we are. Don't lie, don't play, don't be an asshole. I don't think those rules are too complex.
ANYWAY! REVIEW TIME!
Green Day's music video for 21 Guns needs to be called out. It's one of the more moving music videos i've seen in awhile. It will do good for younger bands to look up to them for their fearless composition. As a young band, Green Day was more famous for songs about getting high, and masturbation. As they are fathers, husbands, and fiances now, they are helping give voice to their younger listeners, and those who have been with them since I was born. In this video we are put into a house with the band playing, and a young couple caught in the emotion of blazing guns. The couple reflected the band's cover for their 2009 hit album '21st century breakdown.' Armstong's sad and moving eyes cry out for his generation, as well as the generation that looks up to him, to speak out. If we are going to take anything from Green Day, it's to not always take ourselves seriously, but know when to get serious.
