CookieMonster Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 loved matts hysterical waving during the singing solo-y bit! what a vid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm listening to Knights right now whilst wearing a black stetson, I love the video and wish Muse could make more ninja space cowboy videos and less three men on a boat ones.....

San Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Why? I thought it was a hoax when I first saw it. Then realised it wasn't and was I don't find it fun at all, it's just appaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I thought it was just trying too hard to be funny and take the piss. Watching it was like watching a teacher trying to 'get down wiv da kidz'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching it was like watching a teacher trying to 'get down wiv da kidz'. yeah, my feeling too. I'd be ashamed to admit I know Muse if I had to watch the vid with mates. I think they're just making fool of themselves in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OoS* Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Way too silly... Muse shouldn't do silly videos... KoC should've had a masterpiece of a serious video (like New Born and Bliss etc.) with lots of grandeur, subliminal meanings etc. Very eclectic and cool, not silliness and cheesiness! -rant over - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I like it because aside from the ninja/laser/cowboy thing it's very toungue-in-cheek but at the same time slick and stylised, with a rather cool take on 60's/70's sci-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already a powerful song, it doesn't need an over the top, pretentious and drowning-in-its-own-self-importance video... They'd look like complete tools!

They'd look like complete tools! yeah but a "comical" video is a lame choice, because people are going to think the song is comical too, and ignore the quality of it, they'lljust think it's one of those parody songs...

But weren't the New Born and Bliss videos just amazing? The right kind/amount of seriousness, and I never said they should be self-important, pretentious or OTT - Muse normally have the perfect balance of silliness and seriousness - good, thought-provoking lyrics/videos, with "gay" antics, Dom's Slipknot impression, shrooms,... understand now?

There isn't very much thought-provoking about either of those videos, other than the fact that the Newborn one makes no sense (why is there a scary girl with a fairy?)...

Jase Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Am I the only one who doesn't think the song was particularly epic? I'd have been disappointed with anything less than abject stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 A silly video for a silly song is how I see it. Both = amazingcheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OoS* Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 A silly video for a silly song is how I see it. Both = amazingcheese. Are you calling KoC silly?! "No one's going to take me alive, the time has come to make things right. You and I must fight for our rights, you and I must fight to survive." That's silly? I think it's quite apt considering recent and current events... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Bleh, it sounds silly to me . It's just the massive overblown, over-the-top-ed-ness of it that makes it silly for me. I can't wait to scream along to that bit at Eden . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to scream along to that bit at Eden . Epicness is what Muse are known for (Absolution? AP, Hysteria, SS, B&H?) nor is KoC overblown or OTT! They said it captured what they wanted to put across, Mexican kind of bandit theme (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 That's what they were going for, the spaghetti western feel. But regardless, both video and song make me chuckle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
