Banned from MTV

Brilliant new Faithless track... I suppose the coffin draped in the US flag struck a nerve.

No, man. You got it all wrong. It was the white woman hugging the black kid that bothered people.

Brilliant? I'll beg to disagree - give me Gnarls Barkley anyday. And as for the nerve that this politically conscious house music has struck, one commenter put it best
The most inept '6th former' visual imagery I've ever seen, cobbled together in an irony free teenager's notion of profound commentary. It's about as sophisticated as using a biro to draw a Hitler 'tache onto a newspaper clipping of George W. Bush. Faithless may be weed smoking poseurs but they should be thoroughly embarrassed of this.

And the post work looks like it was knocked off during a Flame Op's lunch break.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

A cynic like me might suggest that they got themselves banned to drum up publicity.:rolleyes: Sorry, I just have never taken 'statements' by rock musicians seriously.

So what is this guy saying? Criticism is not to be taken seriously unless it was produced with a million dollar budget?

No, I think he's saying it's poorly done and childish.

If those were criteria for banning videos then MTV wouldn't have much to show.

Has it actually been officially banned? I haven't seen anything on the web except for people saying they have heard it has been banned.

Wow, I heard that Depeche Mode got back together, but even that's kinda vanilla for them. Decent video (message), terrible song...maybe it was banned for the sake of saving music.

So what if it is? He completely misses the point of the video.

While this may not be the case in this circumstance, more than a few bands have purposely sent in videos to MTV that they knew upfront would be rejected for content just to get publicity and street cred for being "banned by MTV", even though the odds that MTV would have actually played the anything by the band in the first place were already zero.

MTV Effect

Postby Uhhuh35 » Thu Dec 21, 2006 7:30 am

This is another case of the dreaded "MTV Effect" where the video is considered more creative and entertaining than the music.

I don't see what the problem is really. Maxi Jazz is pretty opinionated and I guess at the moment he's seeing all the conflicts in Iraq etc as a mistake. It's sorta similar to Anti-Vietnam songs from the 60/70's like The Doors, Unknown Soldier. Nothing new, just same old ideas in a modern format. Song's not too bad either!
