Cue Crys of "I Wanted a Real Video"

[Jason Tate]

According to (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=5180249#post518024 9) various (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=5179401#post517940 1) sources (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=5179630#post517963 0) (not entirely reliable) there is a video for Brand New (http://www.absolutepunk.net/brandnew)'s "Untitled" circulating around MTV2. If anyone out there youtubes this for proof, we'll post it. I think, if true, this would be more evidence toward the band doing all they can to get dropped from Interscope.

[wegiveblood]

I'd like to see that.

[splitsecond]

Fuck, i tried to get in here first. oh well.

[Shatter_Glass]

Haha. Wow. that's all i can say is "wow".

[dekdog11]

nice

[ThankQ4DVenom]

video ?
please youtube it someone

[Joe DeAndrea]

I Wanted a Real Video. :bluesad:

[TasonJate]

no way, im laughing at the thought of there acutally being a video of this

[btbam > you]

*cries

[Talib Scottie]

I remember how psyched they were about the Quiet Things video back in the day.

[dukeboy1986]

With the ability that Nettwork has now, these guys could have easily sold this on their own and made twice or three times the money they would have if they didn't release it on Interscope. I do realize, however, that the signing occured about three years ago so I guess that does change things.

theyre not in it for the money

[epic31]

ive seen the video...its pretty wierd...lots of obscure close up images and then a guy writing on a brick wall...evil is raging inside of me and then he fills in the devil and god...its pretty cool

[trevis427]

link?

[S3lf1shly3mpty]

It was on that MTV2 Artist's to Watch in 2007 show...I thought it was just something MTV put together for the show cause it was a strange song choice for an actual video.

[dukeboy1986]

theyre not in it for the money

Yeah, in an ideal world noone would be in it for the money to any degree. However, this would give them more "creative" ability and still be financially viable.

[brooklynburning]

hahaha that is great.

Except that it's for a lame "song," that does sound quite cool.

[epic31]

i saw it on mtv2 yesterday morning

[mbuchbauer88]

Except that it's for a lame "song," that does sound quite cool.

oh jason, you are as bad as the other people who only post to be negative. shame on you. ;-)

[bruce campbell]

this is fuckin weird

[JohnnyTruant]

I think this is actually pretty funny and sounds cool.
It's coming on MTV2 supposedly on Artists to Watch 2007. I know it's coming on at 2 here tonight but I live in Texas. So adjust accordingly and check it out?

[Jason Tate]

oh jason, you are as bad as the other people who only post to be negative. shame on you. ;-)
How am I posting only to be negative? One of my top 3 favorite bands of all time, and this is by far my least favorite "song" they've ever recorded.

[1Roth4]

can't we just get along... for one night

[Midtown19]

I could never miss it....
I could never love you...
I could never..... what are you saying????

What a bunch of weirdos. If there is any truth to this, I really have to wonder what's going on in their heads. I love this band and the new cd, but what exactly are they trying to accomplish with this???

I was pissed when they wasted two tracks for instrumentals...

[Mike Kraft]

How am I posting only to be negative? One of my top 3 favorite bands of all time, and this is by far my least favorite "song" they've ever recorded.

agreed. it's out of place and just a time waster. Welcome to Bangkok would have made for an awesome opener.

yes, i know this has been discussed before...

[mbuchbauer88]

Trying to get off of a label should be a private matter, not one where you put out a shitty video of a shitty instrumental that comes across as more of a middle finger to their fans who want to see "Jesus Christ" or something else good made into a video.

But privately, they are stuck.
Doesn't anyone remember TSL trying to get off Geffen?
They did lots of similar things.
And they did win in the end.

[JohnnyTruant]

It makes me lol when people get so pissed off about songs being instrumentals.

[theacademyis]

The MTV2 program is playing at 1PM Eastern tomorrow on MTV2. The BN video plays about 10 minutes into the show. It's Jesse spraypainting a wall, which is first "evil and good are raging inside me." then it cuts to people shooting off roman candles in the dark, and back to the wall where jesse edits his first paint job to read "the devil and god are raging inside me"

[bruce campbell]

i think it's funny

yea, cause i mean, theres NO WAY they put the song on the cd and made a video for it because it was something they liked! that shit wouldnt make any sense! they must be trying to screw over all those great die hard fans who talk shit about them on AP.net when they dont get their way! thats what i was thinking too, you just beat me to it. ;-)

brand new is not the format.
but i see what you're getting at.

[Jason Tate]

I think all of the "clues" - and by that I mean words and interviews written by the band on their website -- it's safe to say exactly why they would do something like this.

[70x7]

Just because it's instrumental doesn't mean it sucks by default. And just because it isn't your thing doesn't mean it sucks. The No Seatbelt Song is my least favorite of theirs, but just because I don't like it means that it sucks.

[NonOperational]

theyre not in it for the money


every band does it for money in one way or another...

haven't you seen Thank You for Smoking? It pays the mortgage

[Jason Tate]

brand new is not the format.
but i see what you're getting at.
But they do share the same manager -- so it's not too far of a leap to draw the parallels.

[mbuchbauer88]

Completely.

I don't think I've seen a single person imply anything different.

[spikestoyou]

One of the best videos of the year was for an instrumental track. "The Owl" by I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, http://www.scjag.com/mp3/sc/theowl.mov

Also, llllooooovvveee the brand new Brand New album.

[Jason Tate]

please jason, tell me more. im interested now.
Uhm.. fightoffyourdemons.com (http://fightoffyourdemons.com)

It's all on their website.

[abrandnewused]

When a band is on a major, I would think the label would decide the video. That's weird if that's not the case, but I guess they do have a lot of control, or this album would have been marketed and a single would have been released.

Weird shit yo.

[neo506]

It's Jesse spraypainting a wall, which is first "evil and good are raging inside me." then it cuts to people shooting off roman candles in the dark, and back to the wall where jesse edits his first paint job to read "the devil and god are raging inside me"According to the schedule thats "2007 artists to watch" which also airs at 3am tonight (EST)

so we'll see

[bankrom]

But they do share the same manager -- so it's not too far of a leap to draw the parallels.

yeah, that part is logical. what i was saying is that the format, nate and sam, are a much more interactive band... they did a lot on their own to generate interest in the record. they've always been a very open and communicative band with their fans, which would be about the polar opposite of brand new.

either way, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[mbuchbauer88]

I don't think I've seen a single person imply anything different.

i like it, and i think its probably a pretty cool video. its interesting. its just a shame its not as poppy or inside the box as over it and fall out boy!

[70x7]

I don't think I've seen a single person imply anything different.

Nobody has. I'm just tired and read something that didn't exist. My bad.

It's all on their website.

Uhhhh new tour dates are up.

[neo506]

Uhhhh new tour dates are up.

While we are on the subject of money we'd like to take a second and say a few things.


We would like to express our gratitude to anyone of you who has ever spent a nickel on this band, whether it was getting into a show, or buying a sticker, or a t shirt, or a record. It takes money to tour, and feed a band and its crew, or to record an album (after the label has spent all of yours). You all make these things possible, and in turn keep Brand New a band. But the bottom line is that we would rather this band didn't become something we felt like we were constantly selling to you guys. The only thing we as a band will ever claim authenticity on is our music. Just because all that other stuff comes from us, just because you bought a shirt on our website, or at a show, or got a lyric book in the mail, it doesn't mean it's any more unique or authentic then something you could do yourself. In fact it is less. It's just merchandise. The only "official" part of the band is what you hear on our records or at a show, the sounds we make. Write BRAND NEW on your knuckles or on a wall and it's just a good as some sticker that has an "interscope" logo on it. If you're feeling up to it, save the twenty bucks you were gonna spend on our merch site and write "The Devil and God are Raging Inside me" in marker on your dad's old t shirt. It will scare your parents, cost you nothing, and be about the most limited edition thing anyone will ever own... unless you make two.


What we are trying to say is that the important thing is that you are listening, and not so much buying. Spread it around. Share us with your friends. We thank you for supporting our band, and appreciate that you continue to do so, especially by playing our albums and coming to shows to watch us play. We hope everyone has a good holiday and a joyful new year. We're brushing up on our German and Gaelic.


love,

Brand New (via JTL)

fight off our demons

For some reason that's supposed to be a dig at me; however, I also have The Knife as one of my favorite bands (and albums this year) and listen to far more "edgy" music than Brand New.

If you're using Brand New as your "edgy" band while comparing it to my pop-punk favorites (FOB, OI) then I'll use The Knife (or countless other favorites of mine) as my edgy band to compare it to your comparably pop-favorites (BN). It's quite easy to do, but utterly pointless.

*I took the creative liberty and replaced "poppy / outside the box" with "edgy."

"cause i don't wanna get a bladder infection."

Trust me man, the Crusades isn't all fun and games. Except those times when we used to play chess. Good times.


Anyway, enough thread-ruining for the night. Goodnight.

Wasn't alive when the Crusades were happening, nor do I believe in the idea of bloodshed for belief. So, no, of course not.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic back genius.

And why is all a sudden the cool thing to do is pick a band someone likes and use it as a "dig" in every single post to them? I mean, you have From First to Last, Senses Fail, and Finch in your "favorite band" list -- I'm not bringing those up to try and gain an upper hand in a thread.

I probably should -- I think it's common knowledge around here that all FFTL fans immediately lose all respect. But come on -- those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

[SePaMc]

Ok. I just read all these posts.

Do people even know whats being argued? Or are you just trying to stir shit with Tate?

Not to claim innocence since I fought with Tate the other day...but this started as a debate over the band wanting to get off their label (which I think it's clearly obvious they want off) and now turning into a debate about Tate's liking of certain bands and how you wipe.

Are you just attempting to stir shit for no good reason?

No matter how you spin it....Untitled wasn't a good choice for a video. I like the "song" (yes quotes are necessary since it's more feedback than anything musical) in the context of the album, but I don't get the point unless the label MADE you do a video -- and that was what you chose as the fuck you. There was no clear alternative, since that is obviously agreed upon not the best song to promote the band.

[Sex and Glue]

If that was in quotes for a reason, I totally missed the reference.

well jason, its about my bed time, but i just thought maybe id end it back on track. whether the band picked this as a fuck you to the label, as an interesting and artsy concept, or because jesse had a cool idea for a video and the song happened to fit in his opinion, i dont think its changing anything to complain about wanting a "real video" or to use quotation marks around the word "song" to degrade it. so have a good night buddy, ill catch you later.

a SONG is a relatively short musical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music) composition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_composition) for the human voice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_voice) (commonly accompanied by other musical instruments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_instrument)), which features words (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word) (lyrics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrics)).


Colloquially, song is often used to refer to any music composition, even those without vocals (though in music styles that are predominately vocal-based, a composition without vocals is often called an instrumental (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental))

[mbuchbauer88]

thats what i was refering to. that and all the people complaining about the song in general.

[odelay]

Sorry for me being a fucktard

Triple Crown, then they signed to DreamWorks. Right after they signed with DreamWorks, it was bought over by Interscope. I think that's how it went down.

Triple Crown - then Dreamworks - then Interscope.

That's one person, not enough to be "common opinion" - and people complaining about not liking the song aren't saying they made the song to "piss off fans" like you implied.

:rolleyes:

I don't think they're going out of their way to piss off fans, but I think a lot of fans ARE getting pissed off (see their livejournal community for examples) due to their live show and other things they've done lately. But that's not here nor there, nor related to this news post or AP.

I think it's an L word.


Eh.

Too many words. Go to bed already.

listen again. its 7 syllables. put on headphones and just put those words in. they fit.

Its okay. It sounds like to me they gave a 3 yr old one of those Play Skool tape recorders to fuck with.

I had one when I was 4, it made those sounds.

Leaving in only the headphone with vox....There is no way he says with there. Its the L word (whatever it is) then here or you.

Sorry. You Lose. Go to bed.

[konfusion151]

i saw it on 2007 artists to watch the other day and caught it right after it started.
since i didnt see the host introduce it i thought it was just a commercial for the new album.. since they spell out the title of the album and all.

so you have to look at it out of the context of it being played on MTV2 (during other music videos) and look at it more as a promo video than a music video i suppose (just a thought/opinion)

and yea the 2007 artists to watch special is playing again tonight at 3 am so check that out if youre interested... and for god sakes someone record it.

Now try and add with you to the end before here. It's not possible dude. Unless he can say with in .012135 seconds.

Seriously... does anyone have anything better to do then bicker over bs on a forum/news site?

It, nor you, is that serious.

There are discussion threads about news, to discuss the #$%@&! news.
Not to pick fights with the guy who started the site.
Or other people or anyone about #@$% that has nothing to do with the news its self.
If you care so much about someones grammer, the bands they list as favorites, or anything like that, then...

Well then you're a b#$@%.
And you need a life.

You also might need one of these (http://www.myspace.com).

And, so not to contradict myself, I think Brand New making any kind of video for any reason of any song, is great. Even if it involves wiping. And if it's to get them something they want, even better. Good for them.

[AltPressScott]

You guys realize that bands don't get videos on MTV, labels do, right? So if this is a legit video (and it sounds like a promo piece to me, not an actual "Let's put it in rotation" kind of thing), it was placed on the network by Interscope, not Brand New.

Now this is just a crazy, wild hunch, but I don't think the band are "doing all they can to get dropped from Interscope."

You kids need to stop inventing rumors and then spreading them around just so you feel better about your own opinions.

[Drew Beringer]

It's on 2 am here central for me, I'm in Texas right now, rotting away. The concept of the video seems cool I can't wait to see it.

so are you saying you think everything is going according to Interscope's plans in terms of what Brand New does for this album?

edit: i dont mean this as a dig im just actually curious. Im personally kind of confused what the hell interscope thinks about this.. maybe they just wanted to rush something out so brand new could put something on this 2007 artists to watch crap..

[d1rtejerz]

I could never..... what are you saying????

What a bunch of weirdos. If there is any truth to this, I really have to wonder what's going on in their heads. I love this band and the new cd, but what exactly are they trying to accomplish with this???

I was pissed when they wasted two tracks for instrumentals...

I know really. I mean, the nerve of them to try to convey a mood or feeling musically. I guess you're not a Mogwai fan.

The conversation.

The screenname started as joke. I don't wanna get into it...if you knew me it wouldn't matter. I realize I will get shit for it. But whatevs.

In honesty though, she called me before it was on, and she has to be up in ike 4 hrs for work....so it wasn't as dicklike or rash as it sounds.

What I say here I do with intentions of sparking more discussion. I have started a thread here:

http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=197968

relating to some of my thoughts on Brand New's new album. I encourage all who have the time to read what I have written, think about it, and comment on it for discussion. I am only posting this on here because the discussion in the thread itself has been minimal, and mostly off topic, though the honest replies from certain members (colin farrel) has been exactly what I was looking for in posting this. I think if you like the cd you'll be interested in what I have to say.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

I'd like to see this.

[Vanilla Bear]

interesting...that's all i can really think of to say

[straylighthaste]

i don't mind the instrumental track at all...it actually hit home (I hear it as "I could never listen" all the way through). although it's not too technical or fancy, i definitely see what kind of situation they were trying to convey with it. random, yes, but it still has meaning.

[OveriseFan]

I actually really like both instrumentals...

I kind of wish the album just ended with Archers though, but I feel the same way about Deja with "Good to know". Don't get me wrong: I love Play Crack the Sky and Handcuffs, but I just wish the album ended on a note more like "Archers" than an acoustic diddy.

I'm not going to read the last 13 pages of comments but let me guess, I missed a lot of a. ugh, why that song I want *this song* b. whether or not brand new loves music/wants off the label/how right this is. and c. someone, at least someone, had to bring up the fact that they don't like the new album compared to deja

Am I right?

Actually, I don't think anyone has said a or /c/, and only limited amounts of b.

has this been done before??

[silencekid89]

it's a brilliant video. it's whole vibe reminds me of that jack kerouac quote.

obviously jesse is a musician; he creates stories just like bob dylan or the beatles did. check "the day in the life" (he refers to it at the end of "play crack the sky"). the songs aren't about his life. they're just songs.

the song has a great vibe to it. sort of eeiry and melancholic. people that are talking about instrumentals "wasting" songs on a record obviously cannot appreciate post-rock bands, or the attempt at setting a mood for the entire album.

Why is it that if someone doesn't like how one band does something, they can't "appreciate" an entire art or genre? I listen to completing instrumental albums all the time -- yet I think "--" is a waste of a track, and a waste of a video. I'd rather have it not be there, or get another "demo" take it's spot.

And I'd love to see a cool concept video (hell, same video even) just with a different song.

although i agree that some of the songs aren't necessarily about his life, but some definitely are. if you look on the little insert for the sowing season single it says "2nd verse adapted from "If" by r. kipling and how it used to hang from my father's wall" and the references to his father in the song it seems like it must be about his life.

i like the video as a departure from the traditional video format in general. even brand new's old concept videos were slightly original but mostly retreads of other videos/films. as a medium, the music video is about as trite as it gets these days. maybe the band was rebelling against it, and not against its fans/label.

as for the song, if it were on a post-rock album, it would be considered at least good. why is it considered filler just because its on a brand new album? its semi-audible vocals and overall eerie mood, in my opinion, compliment the rest of the album perfectly.

Bingo.. I love the 2 instrumentals on the album. And for the people crying about this one, im sure you'll get a video for Sowing Season soon enough.

[elvis2x]

i have never heard of a band putting a video out for a song with no lyrics

has this been done before??

Yes.

Great choice for a video/single. :rolleyes:

umm. I hope you are being sarcastic.

[heytheredelilah]

it's crucial

listen to something other than radio-pop and pop-punk and learn the definition of "art."

right, cause you know what i listen to. dumbass. art is subjective, something you should already know since you claim to appreciate "art"

[sayyes]

why do they feel the need to be so fucking weird, so inaccessible....see a fucking shrink and get over it
probably because they don't like their label and are dissatisfied that they pigeonholed themselves into a scene they probably want out of (imo)

everyone is retarded

You know what's retarted? Wiping back to front.

Triple Crown - then Dreamworks - then Interscope.



That's one person, not enough to be "common opinion" - and people complaining about not liking the song aren't saying they made the song to "piss off fans" like you implied.

:rolleyes:

I don't think they're going out of their way to piss off fans, but I think a lot of fans ARE getting pissed off (see their livejournal community for examples) due to their live show and other things they've done lately. But that's not here nor there, nor related to this news post or AP.


Wasn't Brand new signed to epitaph at some point for a short time?
