Young Veins release uninteresting music video, remain uninteresting while doing so.



I'd like to dramatically doff my cap to The Young Veins and their video for "Change." A while back we did a little roundup of videos that pay homage to olde-timey TV shows, but I don't think I've ever seen a clip that gets it so right.

"Change" finds Ryan Ross and Jon Walker continuing with the '60s fetish that first appeared when they were still members of Panic! At The Disco. Like Nirvana's "In Bloom" clip, it's an homage to The Beatles' legendary appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."

The difference is in the details. From the slow raising of the lights, the film stock to the static movements of the band members themselves, everything is perfect. Heck, The Young Veins even sound like they're from the '60s.

It's not the first time this modern band has indulged in some nostalgia. The group is heavily indebted to The Beach Boys for its Take A Vacation album artwork.

This song is shit. I like "Heart of Mine" way better. Also, Happy belated Canada day everyone!

Video/Song is crap but not going to lie, I sort of like The Young Veins. I saw them ~live back in April.

I wish! I actually really like Black Gold and wish I could have seen then but that tour didn't even stop in my state. I saw Young Veins/Bad Rabbits/Fozy Shazam. My friend won a contest and took me as her guest so I got in for free.

At first I liked it but now it is just lame. Their music isn't groundbreaking or anything so I think I'll pass.

No one forgets that you used to look like this, Ryan Ross.

Oh hey, Greta.
[info]vangogh_ourears 2nd-Jul-2010 05:32 am (UTC)
Are they fucking serious? How are they so shamelessly unoriginal? Everyone and their moms have been influenced by the Beatles, it's only meaningful when they take that inspiration and manifest it into something new. Flat out plagiarism makes you look like such a fucking tool, Ryan Ross

/tell me how you really feel
[info]trappedinabox2 2nd-Jul-2010 05:32 am (UTC)
oh really
