Save Rock and Roll - 2/11
Click to view2/11- The Phoenix
First thought: Love the song!!! Get me so excited!! The beat is sick and Patrick's voice is so perfect in this. I thought the video goes along well with the song. And did I mention, Patrick looks so great in this video.
Okay, so it is the prequel of their first video - the first chapter anyway. The 4 of them standing and opening up briefcase with something shiny inside (what is it?a stack of golds, the holy grail, golden orbs or something mundane like their latest secretive new album). It is something that gets them so excited and important, because it has to be locked onto Patrick's wrist. Ooh, shiny new wedding ring on Patrick's finger (and the fake FOB tattoo). Pat's walking and singing aggressively along the suburb (he looks fantastic by the way, have I mentioned this) occasionally looking back behind him, like someone is after him. A boy gets in front of him on wheels(bike), distracting him while a masked bitch tasered him. He ends up in a warehouse tied up, then got his hand chopped off (major spoiler!). Patrick has a stump now, haha, lame joke. His hand is send to Pete's house, where he reacted very plainly and non-dramatic (really, not even a surprise to find a chopped hand on your front door). One by one FOB members got kidnapped by these masked S&M bitches. While Patrick on the other hand (hihi, that's a pun), ordeals a bloody operation, at least that's what I think it is, while still singing heartily. Can I just say how ridiculously unrealistic this video is. I mean, if you are making an operation, shouldn't you at least cut off his clothes. I don't see any glimpse of skin, are they operating under his clothes? But why?? Because they are bitches. Other than that, Patrick is looking so good and delicious here. And dare I say, now he looks like the front man of the band.
First time acoustic performance of The Phoenix + for nostalgia sake Sugar We're Going Down
