Testament to shoot video for "More Than Meets The Eye"

[Defiance]

Finally .

Does the video aqt least feature Megatron? I mean sorry I know the song isn't about Optimus Prime & Co. but Alex trading solos with Jazz would be awesome!

 

[redfly]

Haha,Transformers was the first thing I thought of when I heard the track title too.

 

[kleo706]

Yeah. That seems to be the case with um everyone I've talked to. Exodus should release a song called "A Real American Hero" and see if it sparks a real 80's cartoon revival as opposed to the current thing where products bear the same name but are somehow just wrong.

Is it uploaded somewhere?

 

[ms. anthrope]

not just yet... they're still doing last minute touches.

 

[redfly]

They are teasing us aren't they.

 

[ms. anthrope]

no...

 

[one man]

man, that's a damn long last minute I think we'll see the best music video in the history given the time they spent on editing it...

 

[redfly]

They should get an award for latest video

What usually happens is that we wait a lot, but still get a lousy video . The expectancy is getting so big that I'm getting quite mad hehe.

I wonder whose fault is this? The band, the guys who edit the video or who?

 

[redfly]

It wont bother me if the video sucks.I just want to see them have a video that gets played on tv period.I'm also curious to see if the album sales go up.

I think they will, but not as much as they would have if the video was released 4 months earlier... I wonder how much airplay will a 7-month-old song get. Postponing the release of it was a big commercial mistake (not the first in Testament's history)- just when they could break really big. One video should have been released half a year ago and one later (even now).

are we still getting two videos or is it only MTMTE now?

 

[ms. anthrope]

I asked management today, and it should be VERY SOON. For now just "MTMTE" I believe.

 

[Stgo]

what is "very soon" for a band that releases a record ten years after?

 

[ms. anthrope]

I'm relaying what I was told. Interpret that however you want.

Yeah I agree, quite the big mistake IMO.

Hopefully it'll really be "soon" .

Well Ms. I took it to mean "you should buy me beer" so I got you a case. Then it occured to me that it was a *really* long walk to Where you're at from here. So I drank some beer to motivate myself. Around when it seemed like a good idea, I finished your case. SOrry!

 

[ms. anthrope]

awww kleo706, i'd never expect you to buy me a beer...

hmmm... let me guess. i think in a few weeks. *crosses fingers*

i wasn't given an exact date, so don't quote me.

 

[one man]

few weeks more??? They shot it in May (and they shot Henchman Ride in early July), didn't they? Jesus, how long can editing a four minute long video last.. well, I'm not holding my breath this time. I hope they draw some conclusions from this situation and don't make the same mistakes with the next album
