Beside "Everything," What's Wrong With This Video?

Is this the future of rock?

Pedals? guitar stands? Paul as a righty? George John AND Paul all gyrating in exactly the same manner?

Umm....yes. This is the future of rock.

The first thought I had was reanimated corpses being moved around like puppets. There was really no point to this video at all.

Stop making fun of some poor college freshman's first animation project.

CGI animation of dead people freaks me out a bit. Its like watching zombies. Almost as creepy as the Cristopher Reeves commercial where they animated him standing up in an attempt to inspire hope, but was just creepy.

A band can pull off animation. Gorillaz pulls it off pretty successfully, even with some of the live footage I've seen.

My favorite bit of animation used with a song, is the love and loss of Milk Carton in "Coffee and TV:"

Some day I hope to make milk carton heaven.

I think it's funny that there are no mic stands and no one appears to be singing. I guess all that gyrating is too much work. The animator must have seen those MC5 clips.

The amps turned at an angle? That must be the magic way you can see the notes.

Also, you can definitely see that they are lip-syncing. They did not stop playing when the song ended. Amateurs!

They all have jars in front of them.

Why are there jars in front of each Beatle?!?

Someone tell me NOW!!!

It appears that they're each busking.

It's possible, however, that they each have a jar because the room they're playing in has no bathroom, since it doesn't appear to have doors or windows, either.

Ahem, major pince-nez time, people: Ringo didn't add a second rack tom until '68 or '69. Sheesh!

Also, the Beatles did not have tiny visible musical notes drifting out of their amps until after their last gig in SF, and were effectively done playing live.

And they had just gotten to the "spittoon phase" of facial hair, as did Jim Morrison, right before the end.

I'm not sure why the flash-pots and pyrotechnics in front of each player didn't go off.

I don't know how they managed to motion capture me and my friends Pat and Scott when we were 7 blending that mersey-beat dancing with kabuki moves, but it is freaking me out.

Those cartoon Beatles did some really inhuman knee bends, for one thing.

For another thing: what future of rock?
