HannahG123 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Or even a 5 minute version of the pingpong video. One day Matt is going to look back on this and go : I bet that photo with Dom's caption "Trying to break the ice at the Supremacy video shoot" (or smth like this) was an omen that things will be seriously shit you guys are cracking me up > song, live, lyric video music video >muse pick one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The actual shots of them playing in the garage overlooking the sea looked awesome. It's everything else that was a bit... "why?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The actual shots of them playing in the garage overlooking the sea looked awesome. It's everything else that was a bit... "why?" But even those bits were not edited so well, they were repetitive, and the lighting and angle on Matt wasn't the most flattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that-girl-over-there Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That was ... uggghhhhh I think it was kinda mean to be 'We are making a stand agains the government/higher power in the world, just like those goths, but minus all the makeup'? Wait no that doesn't even make sense. It's 8am here, I did not appreciate waking up to see this and trying to get my head around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arelagord Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 It reminds me heavily of this video, only it's actually good and, you know, has a meaning. The less said about Muse's the better I think. [YT] [/YT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaking Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I stopped watching it a minute in when the sound got muffled to represent being under water (that or NME video sucks. Well I already know that but I'm pretty sure they did the water thing too). None of it makes sense. Whatever. Doesn't make the song worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm so confused by this. It's not even deep, or layered with hidden/complex meaning, it's just... I really don't know I'm assuming they were going for the jarring juxtaposition 'effect' cos the visuals simply don't match or complement the ambience of the song in any way - I kept waiting for 'California', the theme song to The OC, to play instead of Supremacy. Even the goths don't give it a dark quality, and the surfboarding...? It just left me, for the first time ever with Muse, not feeling much of anything. It kinda lessens the impact of the song because it's stripped of its atmospheric quality with this warm, fun-in-the-gothic-sun vibe They shouldn't have tried, really, because the lyric video did it very well: it's exactly what you'd expect for this song, so the fact that they filmed exactly what you wouldn't expect for the hell of it seems pointless. And to veer off topic for a separate moan, this does NOT make up for the fact that we're getting no physical copies of singles, and in some cases no singles at all (Follow Me was never available to buy in single format, so how could it technically be a single if it wasn't released?) /rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrieB Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Erm, yeah, it's not the most striking video they have ever made. But maybe if there is any point in it at all, it is meant to be about the triviality of their rebellion - that they paint their faces and do stupid stuff, but actually they are little different from the clean living kids who spend all their time surfing. Still looking forward to panic station...as long as they wear the outfits we have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined towards thinking it more likely that they didn't really put much thought into this one, but you never know. If there is a meaning to it, maybe they will explain it at some point.

Strangeseas Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I knew that you would have tried to find a meaning in it To be fair her point isn't that far-fetched. I still don't see any connections between the song and the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcade Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 okay bit of a strange video but there is some symbolism.. i see the kiss/gothic plague point break surfer guys doing their thing. riding the waves for an adrenaline rush, weilding flaming swords, and the three of them at the top of some hill. wasnt point break about living lives outside the rules of normal society, fuck the system kinda thing. Muse have done things their own way, this vid seems to me kind of about themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt's Jawbone Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What's "hilarious" about it? People surfing wearing corpse paint. A black metal bride. One of the guys chugging a Gatorade bottle of blood! I laughed my arse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
