Twilight of the Thundergod Video

[Gazza]

haha dear old gazza, exams getting to you bro lol <3

haha yep bro.

taking a break for today, need it. only reason i'm acting like i am today is that, like i mentioned before, someone was getting attacked left right and centre, so i though, to myself 'fuck em, lets see if they like it'

and obviously they don't. can dish it out but can't take it.

Fucking hell Gaz.

Time of the month much?

 

[Spanish_Lass]

I would rather have had Thor fucking fighting Jormungand throughout the entire video. All god of war style n shit. But whatever its still a good video non the less.

Give it time- more or less all of the tracks of the album went along with the same topic, so your wish to see a bloodbath may be satisfied.

plagiarism will get you no where son!

(i asked inflames boy that in another thread lol)

nah, just felt like being a smart arse today cause people were picking on someone for cutting school to watch the video. although i'm an advocate for education, cutting gym class doesn't mean shit, that's what gyms are for...to do after school! lol!

 

[Vilewoman]

I think Gaz is both cool and tough. In equal measure.

Awwww puppy love!
*ducks and flees*

P.S. George you started it with that stupid picture.
I'm still amazed Gaz has hair!

I love forum wars, I used to participate in them or try to start them on this forum but got old and soft, not to mention the scars I was left with , keep it going Gazza ......

I've always stated that metal videos are a bit silly as they can never be properly done due to lack of budget, plus they hardly ever get played anywhere so I am not sure what the point in making them is, but given there was infinite amount of $$$ available what would you see as a good/great video to that particular song?

But it fitted so damn well.

And ai, gym class is about as useful as shoving a chopstick down your bellend.

^ that doesn't sound that useless
I thought the video was a bit funny, the viking horde sailing into battle with their 20 men but every scene with johann is epic

 

[Behemah]

Too bad they went with a metaphorical approach to the video. I would have liked to seen Thor fighting the Midgaard serpent =/.

I dunno man, Gaz is pretty hairy. He used to have like a 10 inch goatee/beard thing going on. I'm going to have to ask you for a Rasputin-esque bearded photo to beat that :Smokin:

I posted a pic of myself from last year in the Own Pictures thread. It's grown since then, although I don't try to grow it out, and trim it weekly.

Again, I dunno what I would want in a video. Maybe really really hot chicks going at it?
I haven't ever seen a video that enhanced my enjoyment of the song, with the single exception of Motley Crue's video for Smoking In The Boys Room.

However, if possible a sweet epic ship to ship battle (constant, not cutting to the band or skipping around) would be cool. Maybe cut to the band for some parts, which would be much better synced than in TotTG. The combat would be legitimately well choreographed and synced to the beat of the music.

But even then, I can't imagine that it would really do too much for me. If I want to watch something, I'll go watch a movie. I prefer to listen to the song alone.

I wish you fuckers would quit bitching. The vid is awesome. I don't think AA has the budget to do an epic "Lord of the Rings" quality video. (I believe the band members makes their living off their REAL jobs, not the money they make from the band) Let me see you guys make a awesome video like the one you are requesting with a mortgage, car payments, kids and living expenses. Plus band expenses like instruments, amps and the like.

iirc they quit their jobs after Fate of Norns. afaik they're all single, but I have no idea. and they've been using the same equipment for a while, and record really, really fast, minimizing studio expenses, as well as touring relentlessly.

But besides all that, I'm fairly certain the label pays for the video.

Funding. The band members don't pay for the video out of their own pockets.

actually they're all but one are in long relationships with kids, etc.

5-6 weeks in the studio in not that fast. plus mastering,mixing, etc.

yes, label pays for the videos but not that much which is probably why it was recorded in Poland during anual viking/slavic festival

 

[Bates]

I like it better the way it is. That was probably a bigger party then the one what raided Lindisfarne and started all the uproar.

Would the owner of the longship kindly remove it? It is blocking the entrance to the giftshop.....aaaargh.

Okay, good to know, I guess.

It was 3-4, tbh. Or at least, 4 episodes of the studio diary, including setting up and packing. Then maybe a week or two for mixing mastering. That's seriously quite fast.

And yeah, although the main improvement is actually the camera; this was shot with a much sexier camera than the last couple vids.

I'm sorry but the Amon Amarth music vids are really bad. I'd MUCH rather just see a video of them playing the song or what ever. All of the videos are the same and they're pretty poorly done. Not even close to on par with the actual music.
