Even Better Than The Real Thing video

[ericb]

I've never seen the whole video for this song, just clips. I know there's some scene where it looks like they're all falling from the sky. Can someone describe what this whole video's concept is to me?

 

[Bonochick]

They spin Bono around until he pukes on Larry. Larry screams, "FOAD!!" and throws his beer at Bono. Bono dodges it, and it hits Edge. Edge shoves his guitar pick up Larry's nose. Larry sticks a drumstick, um...well...and Adam sits back, sipping water, looking amused.

~~~

Well, from what I take of it, it is made to look like they are falling from the sky and spinning around. They have a lot of different video clips and pictures of people mixed in the video...to me, it's visual overload, but I love it.

Maybe somebody else has a better answer for you though.

Bonochick's joking, naturally.

The effect is having the camera rotate from the top of each member's head to under their feet (they're on platforms) to back to the top of the head -- deliriously fast.

Between that and Bono's normal gyrations, there's a "falling" effect.

Don't forget the fist finger tips!! that is way cool!

at the very beginning of the video is a fist, which opens up, and then instead of fingernails there is another fist which opens up, etc. the hand is wearing those cool U2 rings.

That video makes me dizzy.

This is one of my favorite videos! Go get the Achtung Baby videos and watch it!

 

[ericb]

Damn it, if I could find the Achtung Baby video collection I would.

I love the Edge's hands (I assume they're his hands- they're his rings) at the first, I wish my hands did that. Those rings are bad, I've been wanting to get myself some of those for awhile, but I have no clue where to go.

EBTTRT is a must see!
It contains very funky shots of our boys, great 'under Bono' views.

Yeah weren't the impersonators called "The Dopplegangers"? (which means a double!)If you freeze the video on some of the band's faces you can see they are not what they seem!
