Hope it gets more

no need to release 30 year war. They've done it with AFALC. You want to watch till the end to see what happens. Nice insertion of The Clash's combat rock

Any chance this chap could do videos for all the tracks? Queen did it with the Made in Heaven album and we got a video to buy at the end with some lovely postcards aswell i think.

I'd say, if there is another single he'd be signed up.

I'm not sure there will be another single though.

Nah, if there's another single it'll be a "James walking around with his hands in his pockets" job. Splice in some old clips of the 4 manics walking around in shit clothes up and down a road in Blackwood. Done.

They could carry on the story of the woman in the next video, and it'll give them a good incentive to have "4 Lonely Roads" as the next single.

I'm sorry but I'm just not feeling it with this couple...they look like something from the Harry Potter epilogue dressed up like their parents I appreciate the concept behind it though and it's something different with meaning behind it at least, but I can't imagine wanting to watch it or the SMTW video again tbh. The RTF video made me cry the first time I saw it though, so maybe it's just the romance (or lack of in the end) storyline that I don't care for.

Or they can carry out with the story, but this time with the man's whereabouts, how he is wandering around alone, his feelings, his little big adventures and how he ended up being the grandpa from Rewind the Film.
Then Four Lonely Roads would fit very well.

When you put it like that it does indeed need more footage of her swinging on a wrecking ball and licking a sledgehammer to compete in 2013.

Just watched it (was in the sticks the last couple of days, no broadband!).

Amazing video. Just brilliant. Works brilliantly with the song, with the album and with the other two videos. I found it quite moving.

I agree. The only thing that struck me as wrong was the A4 posters. They looked fresh off an inkjet - back in the eighties they were mostly hand lettered and photocopied on a dodgy machine.
