Probably > not but you never know.... it is an amazingly great video & a completely awful song.. but the video makes the song a bit better (the screaming has a reason, things are synced).. anyway, i think it is funny that the mtv-types take it seriously, and soon those marylin manson fans will be buying the album because of that song, only to find 7 other songs that are nothing like it; i think that RDJ is just trying to make some extra $$ and have a laugh. as for those viewers comments ... "we will be seeing more dark things like this as the millenium approaches".. hah! and the guy who said it's the future of music, how can you say you like that ? he esp. liked the worst track on the album ... maybe the video is hopefully the future of music videos, but not the music! ack :) anyway it will be all over mtv now that it's been played on that 12 viewers thing. > at least i can redeem myself by knowing [erm... believing] that its a > pisstake. did anyone else catch the massive sarcasm laid on by the > scrawled graffiti of "[this] is techno" on the wall behind the midget's > battle? ope!.. i missed that graffiti, but it is very cool to feel 'special' in knowing that he is making fun of the type of music/people his song will appeal to .. chris graves
