    Agree. Best video I've seen in a long while. IIRC it's the first time they've brought poiltics into their videos.

    Hardly. American Idiot and Holiday were politically loaded videos, i.e Drenched US flags, bombs being dropped, references to the "president gasman", etc....

    It's a great political album. Especially for a punk band.

    Wake Me Up reminds me a bit of Air's - All I Need video. (which is much better, IMHO).

    Yeah it's definately a great video, but does anyone else not think it'll get annoying after a while? Having to listen to the girl scream and cry and stuff over and over is bound to get frustrating :)

    There's a shortened version going around too, saw it on kerrang a while ago.

    VH2 seem to always play the full version.

    Ok, just watched the video. But I'm not sure if it was the long or short version. How long is the long one?

    Dunno.. about 7 minutes? It has the two of them fighting when the girl finds out the guy is going off to the army and she starts crying and screaming blah blah

    I love Green Day have all there albums and saw them in concert but I can't stand that bull in the video, don't get me wrong the video for the most part is good with the political message and all that but those acting parts at the start, middle and end are so annoying and have no place in music videos there so annoying :mad:

    I remember seeing the video the first time and thinking WTF? at the acting at the beginning but when the video was over I thought it all tied in nicely. Great song and album btw.
