Someone needs to message the taper and see if we can get the original files somehow.

Uhh, no it's not, it's in the Part 3 video. Parts 2 and 3 are just mixed up.

Oh yes^^ Thank you very much I forgot the part 3 xD

[Astat]

Here's the songs that are actually missing:

 

03. Somewhere I Belong

----

05. Papercut

06. Points Of Authority

----

09. Lying From You

----

12. Numb

13. The Little Things Give You Away

----

18. Pushing Me Away (Piano)

----

20. Numb/Encore

21. Jigga What/Faint

 

This essentially confirms that Wake 2.0 WILL be on the DVD, as the other 3 missing songs weren't shown, but that one was. Also, I'm pretty sure this is the final edit for the DVD, because the video clip of LOATR in this is the same one that was already posted. So as far as the DVD goes, it should essentially be the same thing as the TV broadcast, just with 6 more songs (all of the above except for SIB, Papercut, and POA).

 

Also, I ripped the .FLV's from Youtube. I know they're pretty crappy quality, but they're better than nothing. If the uploader doesn't wind up sharing the original files, I'll post them.

[ModThisName]

can't wait anymore

[handsheldhigh]

much better than live in texas

the crowd, the mixing, i wonder how will be watch in a dvd, with stereo sound and a bigger screen *_*

[Guest Josh]

Weezer planned a concept album, "Song From The Black Hole" but it was ditched due to Cuomo's lack of interest(though all the demos we've heard sound AMAZING) and was replaced by a loose-concept album called Pinkerton that was probably the best CD I've ever heard. While I know LP's concept album won't even be as fraction as good as =w='s CD(because that is the epitome of musical awesomeness) it goes to show that concept album can be VERY good. For those who say you can't get a broad range, you certainly can. While Weezer is certainly much more dynamic and musical than Linkin Park they managed to make a broad range of stylings and a masterpiece in just 10 songs, so surely LP could pull something decent and semi-broad(though they don't have too much of a musical range though MTM tried to expand that) in 12-15 tracks. As long as they don't go back to the HT/Meteora beaten to death shit sound and try to write meaningful songs instead of generic feeling songs(once again they tried on MTM but fell short of the sincerity and depthfullness that makes music great) and it should be alright.

[Fleur de Lys]

I don't want to spoil the DVD for myself so I just watched No More Sorrow. Very intense. Amazing. I'm surprised.

 

I just can't forget those missing songs.

Really? I never knew that about Inhuman Rampage. American Idiot I guess is considered a concept album, but I usually use concept album to refer to an album that tells a story, not just one who's songs all have the same theme.

 

The Story behind American Idiot: (Source: http://qwats.tripod.com/id4.html) (There's also a really good article about the album on Wikipedia.)

 

American Idiot was written to tell a story (a "punk rock opera"). The title of the album in itself, and it's art, explains of what's to come. There's much confusion to actually what this album and all of its songs mean, and it's questioned to what it could mean. I'm following, basically, with my own outlook, and from information from the band.

 

DEFINITIONS IN THE STORY:

 

J./JOS/the Idiot of America: The Jesus of Suburbia

Tunny: Random person met on the street who Jimmy befriends

The Underbelly: JOS/Jimmy's group of friends

Mom and Brad: JOS' parents. The way that JOS refers to his father as Brad, could mean that is father is gone and Brad is a stepfather, which would explain why he's calling him by name.

 

AMERICAN IDIOT

The title track of the album. Basically, there's a confused, disoriented, angsty kid wrapped around a world of misconception and he has nowhere to go and feels hopeless and miserable. So this kid, the Jesus of Suburbia, is just crying out an anthem for the world to hear, screaming miserably "Don't wanna be an American Idiot..." He sees that he's stuck in this 'redneck agenda' and there's not a damn thing he can do to change it.

JESUS OF SUBURBIA (CITY OF THE DAMNED, I DON'T CARE, DEARLY BELOVED, TALES OF ANOTHER BROKEN HOME)

Everyone on the album has their own track. Jesus of Suburbia basically introduces us to the Jesus of Suburbia, how he was brought up in rage, and love, his atmosphere, friends, and basic general information. Part I, JOS, is just an introduction. "I'm the son of rage and love, the Jesus of Suburbia..."...Part II, City of The Damned, is just a crying out for help, hating his town, his city, and his overall miserable life that he lives. Part III, I Don't Care, is properly named and is about just that. JOS' apathetic screams of pain and how he just doesn't fucking care about anything anymore. Part IV, Dearly Beloved, is JOS asking if what he's feeling is natural, how he can get out, and if anyone can understand...Tales Of Another Broken Home, Part V, is basically the end of the anthem. JOS is fed up, fucked up, and just decides to quit town and quit the life that he's living. "I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize. When there ain't NOWHERE you can go. RUNNING AWAY from pain, when you feel victimized, tales from another broken home"...and he just leaves.

HOLIDAY

So JOS has just left town and he's living his life on the streets (Hear the sound of the falling rain...). He's speaking outloud and acting in vein , but it seems like he's talking himself into the fact that running away was the right thing to do. Explaining his reasons of discontent to himself. He still feels alone, and shunned from society, but it seems he feels a little more self-confidence, and happiness out on the road. It is also remotely political with the whole "Zeig heil..." thing, but it's basically just JOS yelling out and expressing his own dead beliefs onto the world. Like screaming into mid air. Also, to go 'on holiday' is said to be like, a vacation. So this is basically like an escape, a runaway. This leads us into Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS

JOS is out alone, on the cold streets, nothing to do, nowhere to go. The happiness has worn off and he walks alone. Everyone's asleep, no one can hear him, no one cares, and he just walks...

ARE WE THE WAITING?

Still, alone, living it rough. JOS plays tricks in his mind, and you can see his slowly losing his sanity. He even starts to not believe who he is anymore. He's not the king of his local 711 out on the streets, where no one knows who he is...he's not the Jesus of Suburbia anymore. He's just...there.

 

Now is where the controversy starts. The album picks up into an angry, purely amazing, anthem about the ever-so-lovely St. Jimmy. Now, people have said, and this sounds pretty true, that the JOS is just pushed over the edge, turned into this new fuck you punkfuck named St. Jimmy. Basically, pushed off of the deep end into schizophrenia. Green Day, actually has stated, that JOS meets this kid, St. Jimmy, on the street somewhere, but that's questionable. I'll leave the interpretation up to you.

 

ST. JIMMY

Fast, upbeat, so effing hardcore. St. Jimmy...the patron saint of the denial. Tough, rough, not afraid to kill. The run of the mill punkkid times 70. The hardest, baddest mother fucker around. He's lived his life on the streets, knows all, sees all. Lies, and pretty cocky to boot. He can actually be seen as a foil to JOS, who's totally innocent and callow going into this thing.

GIVE ME NOVACAINE

JOS meets Jimmy and becomes close with him. They do drugs together, hang around together and JOS depends on Jimmy to keep him sane, without knowing anyone else. Give Me Novacaine is basically his experimentation with drugs, and how Jimmy introduces him to drugs to ease the pain of everyday life.

SHE'S A REBEL

While on the streets, Jimmy and JOS meet a rebel girl named Whatsername. As described in She's A Rebel, she's holding on JOS' heart like a hand grenade. For JOS, it's love at first sight. It's a basic introduction to the girl, and a new twist in JOS' heart strings. New feelings, new mindset, new atmosphere.

EXTRAORDINARY GIRL

Again, about Whatsername. JOS' feelings for her, what he thinks of her, etc...

LETTERBOMB

After getting close with Whatsername, there is an eventual breakup. The beginning "Nobody likes you, everyone left you..."...is Whatsername taunting JOS, and writing him a goodbye letter. She explains that JOS doesn't care enough, and that he isn't who he thinks he is. "You're not the Jesus of Suburbia. The St. Jimmy is a figment of, your father's rage and your mother's love, that's made the idiot america"...she's explaining that JOS has turned into what he's always hated and she leaves him. "Well she said I can't take this place, I'm leaving you behind. She said I can't take this town I'm leaving you tonight..."

WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS

JOS is alone again. Lost his friends, the only girl he ever loved, he's out of home, out of job, and back where he started, sad and alone on the streets. He describes himself as innocent, or at least he was, and he just didn't last. They broke him down, and he's just dead inside. This is also, on a more personal note, a side song about Billie Joe's late father, who died years ago (September 1982), when Billie Joe was 10. Both explanations apply.

HOMECOMING (THE DEATH OF ST. JIMMY, EAST 12TH ST., NOBODY LIKES YOU, ROCK 'N' ROLL GIRLFRIEND)

JOS has nothing left to do. He's been on the streets. He stands alone again. So where else to go? Home. Part I, the Death of St. Jimmy. He's leaving the streets, he's going back, he's leaving Jimmy behind. He realizes that turning away wasn't the answer, and he's gained nothing from it except knowledge that life is no better in a different atmosphere. He hoped for too much, and got nothing in return. St. Jimmy kills himself, in a sense, in JOS' mind he's gone. Still, there's no one who cares, and nobody cares. Part II, East 12th St, tells us that JOS met and accepted conformity, got a job, and is just in his own world as people move around him. He'd rather be out and around with 'the underbelly', his friends. He feels trapped. Alone, and again, must get away. "This lifelike dream ain't for me"...Part III, Nobody Likes You. He's still depressed about losing Whatsername, as he waits for her to return, but no luck. All of his dreams at this point are shot to hell, as her voice still pounds in his head "NOBODY LIKES YOU, EVERYONE LEFT YOU..." Part IV, Rock 'N Roll Girlfriend, in the inlay, is shown as a postcard from "Tunny"...who seems to be another person JOS met while on the streets. Tunny explains that he's living it up where he is, and the rebel life he leads, while JOS is rotting with his dead end job, in his dead end life. Part V, We're Coming Home Again, is JOS accepting things. He's coming to the realization of everything and everyone, and is just accepting it. He comes home. It's left on a confusing note. He's not sure if he's happy or sad, he's just home, living, and he just...is.

WHATSERNAME

After being home, and just living in normality, he still regrets losing Whatsername. It's been so long, he can't even remember her name. He wonders what happened to her, and can only remember. All he has is his memories of her. The album ends with him still trying to forget "If my memory serves me right, I'll never turn back time, forgetting you, but not the time."...He doesn't regret living his life on the streets, using it as a learning experience, but still tries to forget Whatsername, and the pain that she put him through, and vice versa.

The quality of the videos are so much better than Live In Texas. It's shot so much better, I love all the different angles and the close ups.

I prefer the Live in Texas cameras compared to this one. The shots were much more lively, this DVD reminds me of just watching a webcast like..Rock am Ring or something. It's not horrible but I still can't really say a whole lot of negative until I see the actual DVD. I am sure that with the audio it will be x10 better.

[chazmike]

Wow!!! It's way better than live in Texas camera.

Honestly, I really hate the way they put in live in Texas.

After watching these clips I think I am going to buy it now.

However, it's still sad that they cut three songs.

I want to see the video of papercut, SIB, POA.........................

Hope it will eventually come out not just the audio file.

You know...it might still be on the DVD as the "hidden bonus" stuff...

Really? I never knew that about Inhuman Rampage. American Idiot I guess is considered a concept album, but I usually use concept album to refer to an album that tells a story, not just one who's songs all have the same theme.

Yeah Inhuman Rampage is about some kind of light source. Through the Fire and Flames-"So far away we reach for the day. For a light source so wasted and gone." Ground and Pound-"We reach for the day." Trail of Broken Hearts-"But now we have found the light..."

 

American Idiot actually tells a story. Here's the plot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_idiot#Story.

[spraypaintninkpens]

Weezer planned a concept album, "Song From The Black Hole" but it was ditched due to Cuomo's lack of interest(though all the demos we've heard sound AMAZING) and was replaced by a loose-concept album called Pinkerton that was probably the best CD I've ever heard.

As long as they don't go back to the HT/Meteora beaten to death shit sound and try to write meaningful songs instead of generic feeling songs(once again they tried on MTM but fell short of the sincerity and depthfullness that makes music great) and it should be alright.

Weezer is bad. Lp's concept will be better than that.
