Destroy All Monsters Video!

[Andwah]

Fantabulose Video, need more info, is it stand alone or is there actual single offerings, because if there is that means B-sides, and we all like them don't we!?

That was an amazing video - it'll never get shown on Telly, but who cares as long as its ends up on a DVD somewhere I'll be happy! I love the fact that The Wildhearts can do a video like 'The New Flesh', then this one all from the same album. Awesome!

Awesome, awesome, awesome. The only thing I'd change is I'd like to see the video coincide a little more with the music, rather than just a barrage of random clips.

I agree.

Can't believe this topic passed me by completely till today!!

Erm, am I the only one who thinks it's a bit rubbish? I like the fact that they've released two videos that are the polar opposites of each other, but it just seems really dated and corny to me.

Fucking LOVE this video and I think it's one of their best singles in years! Ironically by being blatently less commercial it's garnered a lot more attention and interest from unlikely sources (Bizzare magazine etc) and that can only be a good thing.

It's just a great statement of intent from the band in my opinion. I really hope the lads use this approach as a blueprint for future releases. Not necessarily by being contoversial for the sake of it but by suprising people with at least one or two heavy-as-fuck songs from every album that really represents the agressive nature and character of the band as they are today.

Though it's not my favourite album I always loved and respected the fact that they made 'Endless Nameless' when they did. It takes a LOT of balls to follow an album like P.H.U.Q (or Fishing For Luckies if we're counting that as a proper album) with something as different, noisy and as in your face as that!

So many people that I mention The Wildhearts to down the pub expect them to be your typical, lightweight "pop rock" band cos they've only ever heard the later singles and won't listen to them for that very reason. I really hope 'Destroy All Monsters' helps to change all that!

Sometimes it feels like The Wildhearts think that only the lighter, poppier songs will sell or make them new fans but to be honest I think the heavy stuff will attract a much larger audience and create some more fans for life!

Nah, I'm with you. In my book, just random bloodspill and bodymodding doesn't make this radical or even a 'bold artistic statement' in any way. Granted, it's not easy on the eye, but then again it's not that bad either. I can picture any medic working in an emergency or labour room going "Sooo... ?" after watching it.

Good for them if it was fun in the making, and I do hope that it gets them attention and new fans, but I'm not a fan of the clip - as opposed to the song btw.

But let's not dampen the general enthusiasm.
