From Mike Shinoda's Twitter

A promotional clip for the NBA 2012 Playoffs has surfaced online featuring clips from the upcoming music video for Burn It Down which can be viewed below. Thoughts?

Pretty cool, except the parts with Blake Griffin.

New Divide anyone?

i like it!

Yes. New Divide revival. But this NBA video is so forceful!

Agree with everyone, New Divide 2.0

Who cares if it's ''New Divide 2.0'' This is cool. Love the scenes where mike raps.

Edit: BTW i think this video has alot more energy than New divide did

That's exactly what came to my mind. And Mike's part reminds me of We made it.

I hope there's no slow-mo.

Me too. New Mike's hand move is great. ,D

LP + NBA = ALWAYS WIN! AWESOME MIXED CLIP!!! I thought about New Divide video since the first seen video shots so no surprise But this would be definetely as awesome as New Divide because I think of ND video as HUGE!

Who's ready for the playoffs?!?!

Someone suspecting of custom creation on BID for NBA? Or just an innocent use of abstract lyrics? What was first? NBA cooperation or BID shooting?

I just thinking... conclusions do not.

Does anyone else notice they look like they are having a blast in that video?

Yeah and that's what made me really like it. Chester looks like he really enjoyed the part where he set the ground ablaze and everyone else especially Mike looks happy to be there.

haha cool, I'm digin' the old school vibe coming from this video. like back in the day when mike didn't have anything to do but rap on the stage although i do see a keyboard so he probably is behind that during the verses.

Agreed similar to ND but more energy! Also very little Phoenix judging by the 2 minutes, also like ND, though there's another 2 minutes in the video so maybe he does have more of an appearance. The NBA seems to give it more power as well - quite like it as a promo and I don't even like/watch basketball lol!

God damn, finally a video with some good performance footage!

WTF happens with them... They can't make a good video clip since year sssssssssssssssssss. Every new one looks like they copy another clip of himself

where the fuck is phoenix?!

LOL at the Pau posters in the video. Have fun playing the Spurs in the second round.

BTW do you guys really think the LP video wont have any special effects?

I just made comments in the shoutout box & now i see the thread -.- Well put it this way, we cant comparte or say anything about a few 2sec clips coming from a 4min music video!
This is great promoting on there part cause the NBA Playoffs last until Mid-June atleast!

BTW THE NY KNICKS ARE TAKING THE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR !!

I'm hoping for a simple, energetic video.

Yeah, I thought they were pretty cool dunks. We also won the game so it didn't actually matter lol.

As for the effects, I'm going to go with very light ones.

Exactly what I thought!

I was wondering the same, but when I heard the song for first time... bass guitar is nowhere from being important in the song either.

from what they shown here, I didn't like it... yeah, kinda reminds ND, but no effects and no plot whatsoever yet, so it's just like having the band performing on a cool stage and that's it.

i love how half the thread is about basketball and the other about it being like New Divide lol

Well it is from an NBA promo video lol & the clips look like the New Divide Music Video
