So one day, my mom dragged me into the god-awful store called Gadzooks, and i was loking at their shitty clothes, and the started playing Best of Me, and i looked at the TV, and i just stood their for 3 minutes watching the video. I thought it was very clever having a middle aged man playing dance dance revolution. I thought it was great. Very good video.

i saw the new TSL video on Fuse. It's better than the fatso video (old video). Kenny wears a tight-ass shirt in that video and check their new hair styles. lol.
the new video is pretty cool, but its just like every other video coming out... i think the old one is funnier

i liked the new best of me a tad bit better then the old one a little gay at the end but definitly an improvement. you should take notice of their new "punk" hair styles. it should get them some much music/mtv/mtv2/fuse airtime
sadly i agree with you on that last part

first time i saw their new hair styles i thought it looked kinda dumb but Kenny's old one was even dumber, so maybe this was a good thing.

I like this new one way better. The old one was boring. The new one seems way more descriptive of their sound. And I love the greenish color scheme and the wide aspect ratio. So cinematic.
And no upskirt shots of fat ugly ponytail guys dancing!! (yay)
Not trying to nitpick, but did anyone notice the typo in the Spanish subtitles?
"Esto enamorado con esta chica"
It should say ESTOY. "Estoy enamorado con esta chica." = "I'm enamored with this girl."

"Amor" is love. The infinitive (verb) "enamorar" means "to fall in love" or "to become enamored" (hint: they both mean the same thing). "Enamorado" is the past participle form of "enamorar".
So "Estoy enamorado" can be translated "I am enamored" or "I am in love".
In a way you're more right, because it matches the way he phrased it to the others in English.
But in a way, I'm more right because my translation is closer to the original Spanish.

Totally. The old one was hilarious like the first two times I watched it, but after that it's just embarrassing. (How many times is male-upskirt funny?) Not a good way to show off one of my favorite bands to someone who's never heard of them.
The new video is one that I can totally be proud of and be like, "yep I'm a huuuge Starting Line fan".

Yes, i did realize they made a new one, and i do have my own taste in music , but does that somehow make up for creating the first one? no. And what does my liking thrice have to do with anything? I didn't say the song was bad, only the video. So what is the point of your post?

You called me Mr. thriceishotshit, that's when you said me liking thrice has to do with anything. The new one does not make up for the old one, it just makes them look like idiots for not realizing in the first place the original was shit.

they didn't do anything with that video. they put it on launch.com. ever thought that they could have made it just for fun? they never tried to get the old one out to the rest of the public. they made a shitty video, so what? they made a new one that's so much better and for what it is, it makes up for the old one. do most people know that there was an old one? probably not.

All I did was give my opinion, and YOU wasted everyone's time by attacking my opinion. I don't care what they did or didn't do with the old video, they still made it and it still sucked, get it? The new one isn't even good, so it doesn't make up for it. They are douchebags for making the first video. END OF STORY.

I don't like any of their hair anymore, except for maybe Mike's cuz it's the same. Besides Kenny, TSL wears really nice clothes, though. Diesel and Abercrombie and all that hot stuff.

I like Kenny's hair in the new Best Of Me. But it's a lot different now. I talked to him on Saturday and it's really different but he still has that blonde stuff. I wanted to hug him... Oh well.
