Dial-up. Nuff said.

While there were some nice shots....what bothered me the most was that all the shots were close up....nothing showing the members in a full length shot. And the fact that at one point they point the camera at Kennedy AND directly into the sun... I've been told that the close up shots are a signature of the video director.

And yeah....though he told a DJ in Seattle he wouldn't be raising his arms....he wanted to....and he did once and almost did three other times from the start to the finish.

The video is okay...not great. Though I must say that Marshall was the only one that looks like he's having any fun. Its a performance video so you don't expect to read anything into it.....but then the song doesn't say alot to me either. I didn't particularly like the location. I mean it's a forest that has been leveled and shredded....I found it a kind of sad and depressing place.

And whats with what appears to be a mannikin laying in the debris? What is that supposed to mean? I heard others talking about it....but when I watched it a second time....I actually saw what they were talking about.

I agree with you I wanted to like it but after viewing it a few times I got the same feeling depressing. But I have to say the song is growing on me.

regarding the location i would guess that is the idea, and did you notice how the light comes in and out at the right moments? i agree that there is too much changing of the focus but it wasen't bad. i believe the director was responsible for queens of the stone age "no-one knows" which is so funny. he did almost strike the post which if found hilarious!

I think it's just like when the single came out - we were waiting and waiting and the anticipation just ruined it. Maybe it will be different actually seeing it on TV (on VH1) instead of just a computer screen.

So what's with that mannikin??? Now I'm curious... haven't seen that mannikin yet!

To be quite honest... I didn't expected much from the vid. Just because they were making it so clear that it's mostly about the music... that's what the vid shows imo! Very plain indeed...

It's basicly just your eyes playing tricks on you after taking in subconcious hints from other people.

I have it in a format where I can view it in slow motion and frame by frame , and trust me when I say that there is NO DEAD BOY or MANEQUIN aywhere in this video. It's a play of light on the branches. That's all. Nothing more.

Well I juts read in some replies that people dìdn't see the video yet because Dial-up conections. You can solve the problem downloading the video in the non-version flash of Alterbridge.com.

Just go to the video menu and click with the right button on the Download link. Then select "save target as..." and you start the download of OYE video.

Hope I help you. Sorry for my bad english.

The video sucks, Its just them in the trees singing.

Epecially for such a "deep" song, i would have though it would have kicked ass like my sacrifice or WAWO, or mayby i just have to high expectaions.

The song rules though

I have seen it on VH1 alot lately.... and I LOVE IT!!! I am quite impressed with the music and think that Myles has a GREAT voice...... he can cary high and low tones and I think he fits in great. Marks guitar solo towards the end....WOW... it is about time he gets some spotlight, sounded awesome. I can't wait until the CD comes out The music rocked just like I thought it would.... I am grateful to have 5 channels of VH1 so my chances of seeing the video is high!

I just saw it. It premiered at No. 20 on the VH1 countdown.

My opinion:

1) They need Scott

2) Mark, Flip and Brian looked great and sounded great

3) I can't look at Myles. I just don't care for him.

4) The song still doesn't do for me what Creed's songs did.

5) I don't understand the meaning of the video (is there one?)

6) Myles doesn't have the "presence" that Scott has.

He looks like a cross between a monkey and Chad Kroeger. When I first saw the OWE video on VH1 it was after the new Nickelback song. Hehe, monkey boy....I'm sorry. [oooh oooh - aaah aaaaaah!]
