Vertigo Video now on heavy rotation on VH1!

[salim117]

As of 5 AM this morning I've see the new Vertigo video 4 times on VH1. It's being played every our and is being introduced as a VH1 exclusive. The video is awesome though there's a little too much CGI effects for my taste. What's the point of going to a special location in spain if you're gonna add so much effects and distortion that you could have just blue screened the whole thing?

Maybe it's more fun to go to Spain than a blue screen studio!

Good point! Guess that's part of the fun of being a rock star.

I caught it, very cool!

Your the first person i've found who agrees with me on the video - way too much CGI. I mean, it could be some warehouse in London for all I know.

I don't mind it, and I hate CGI FX video's with a passion. But, I think it works as it's pretty simple in it's nature unlike the heavy FX'd Elevation video which is horrible.

One of their better video's IMHO. You'll never top the Pop video's, I loved them especially IGWSHA, now that's a music video!

But overall, I enjoyed it, not as bad or heavily FX'd as I thought it was gonna be.

Not real wild about it.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Caught the tail end of it...looks like I'll be in a little late to work today, gotta catch it at the top of the hour!!

I caught it this morning before I went to work. I didn't think it would be on because I thought it was going to officially premiere on TRL this afternoon, but I decided to tune into VH1 just in case - and it came on about two minutes after I tuned in!

I just kept thinking to myself over and over, "What a cool video!" And I'm so glad TRL didn't show it first after all - that would make it seem tainted to me.

 

[dreamingoutloud1]

It's cool, but i agree....too many effects....

 

[Lara_Croft]

who ripped the show? is available somewhere?

 

[BAW]

Its okay...not the best they've ever done but not the worst either. Maybe I've just heard Vertigo too much in past few weeks and I'm approaching song burnout

 

[U2SJ]

Cant wait to go home to watch new U2 video.

 

[RickFly]

its an awesome video!!!

 

[bonojr62]

Pretty good video....

 

[Queen Bee]

Its okay...not the best they've ever done but not the worst either. Maybe I've just heard Vertigo too much in past few weeks and I'm approaching song burnout

Me too.

 

[barrett]

I love the video. The CGI is great. I don't know why they made such a big deal about the Spain shoot though. U2.com has clips up.

 

[U2democrat]

i JUST put it on TRL after seeing this thread and as soon as i did they did a promo for the video so its coming up!

 

[GG_The_Fly]

In my eyes, U2 can usually do no wrong, but i must admit that the video is extremely disappointing. . . i agree with everyone that it provides the same result as a green screened video would have. I mean, they didn't even have fans to blow their hair back with the dark trails. I think the apple iPod video is a thousand times better. . .

You are absolutely correct, I think the prize goes to "A Celebration"


shake....shake!

I know that we have heard too much of Vertigo songs, news ect...
IM NOT YET BURNED OUT
But I hope other non U2 fans can see it and see what a great song this is ....
Remember Peoples choice award!!!

Heavy rotation! I just saw it twice in 10 minutes! Once on Fuse and once on VH1 Classics and I just got home from work. I figured with as little as I watch music television, it would be a few days before I saw it.

Wow!

 

[sue4u2]

Only seen it once, this afternoon on trl. What time do they show videos on VH1, someone know???

 

[Dr_Macphisto]

do they ever show videos on VH1?

All I ever seem to see are "50 worst red-carpet outfits" or stuff like that

 

[GibsonGirl]

I think the prize goes to "A Celebration"


shake....shake!

Love that video! Bono's trousers are hilarious!

 

[salim117]

Like I said before, I can't understand why U2 would go through two days of miserable weather to shoot what would end up being a synthetic video. After all the hoopla, I was expexcting a great video in the middle of a beautiful desert with great helicopter shots zooming round the band, great panoramic shots etc...
I do think the younger kiddies will really like the video cause it is a pretty cool video if you enjoy cgi up the ying-yang!

 

[Charstar]

I like it, but wouldn't it have been better with the "Even Better Than the Real Thing" effects? I'm still watching VH1.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Great video. Good to know it's being played a lot.

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Excellent video. It wasn't cluttered, it was just U2 performing on a target ready to explode. Great stuff U2.
