THATS WHAT THEIR SUPPOSED TO FUCKING DO! Just because theres not a million dollars worth of special effects added to the video or they dont parade around with masks and jumpsuits, doesnt mean their not a good band.

they may be a good band - but i dont understand the point of making a video or performing live (once you're a name) if you are just going to stand there and play well.
I hate videos to begin with .. after the 2nd or 3rd year of their existence everythint that could be done was done .. they are all a big bore now. it serves to let hou have a peak at the people who are making the music and that novelty wears off pretty quick.
I always thought it was cool when there was a bit of mystery - and you didnt know who the band really was or what they looked like - and the music spoke for itself.
as far as live performances .. i enjoy a bit of showmanship - a bit of communication with the audience.
Nothing is more pointless than to watch people stand on stage .. doing their thing .. unless you're another musician and you want to see how certain things are done.
a band without a personality is like a person without a personality - even if they have something to say - they are boring.
I'd rather stay home and put the album on.
the whole 'hate the audience' thing hasnt been cool since the pistols .. and they did it in such a cartoon fashion it was fun..
bottom line, you have to give people a reason for leaving their homes and forking over the money.
