It hasn't been out for about a year. It premiered at Bug the other night (well according to them anyway). Clips of the vid have been around for a while, but not the finished article.

I'm told that those skaters had loads of hideous injuries after the shoot - blistered backs, ringing ears (for several weeks after the shoot) etc. Not surprising, as the explosive of choice was primarily napalm.

Worth it though - it's a great vid. I did wonder where it was going for the first half though, but it paid off.

I think the slightly dull beginning is like eating your greens before the dessert of the explosions.

finger aside, it's a great promo.
there haven't been many great ones recently.
the generation of big whacko jacko productions and the radio head/unkle idea led films needs a renaissance.
although i do like a few of kanye wests vids.
mainly cos i is down wit d kids.
innit.

it's great.
prefer the even earlier one where he painted out the boards and everyone looked like they were hovering.
he's seems to do his most lyrical work around skateboarding.
