@@virtue696 oh yeah, the Big Video for Movies feels like it tried to replicate the success of the Smooth Criminal video but that only made it live even more in its shadow
this song meant so much to me when i was younger, and i forgot about it, and years later now i remember it and it brings back memories of what my life was like... i love it
this WAS released, I remember seeing it on MTV2 before they released Smooth Criminal and blew the fuck up. then they made the second version and re-released it
It's odd, but years ago when this song came out I knew that I'd one day listen to it with a broken heart... 5 years later, here I am. F*cking amazing song!
Holy crap.....I used to listen to these guys when I was a kid, and I just took another listen and they actually kickass! AND the guitarist plays a Schecter, just like me!!! sweeeeetttt
Holy cow batman!!! This is the first time I've seen this version of the video. I feel that it is better then what the had on MTV with all the different movies. I wish AAF had more songs then their first album. If they do, please share with me.
I worked at Target when AAF first came out and on the stupid Target Video Network, which repeats the same hour OVER AND OVER, this was the first video to this song that I saw. Eventually, it changed to 'Smooth Criminal' and then switched back to 'Movies,' but with the other video. How odd.
Ogre I feel you're pain...i work at target now and the network thing sucks.... But I still think the theater version of the video is the best, strange as always but good one.
Three videos were. This one, then the second one was actually released onto MTV 2, then Smooth Criminal got leaked and the band made a video for that...then Movies got re-released I believe and they made the final video. Believe that is right...
what bart meant is this version of the song is From, Greatest hits. Their First album they made them selves,before they made ANThology. the guy who helped them Make that CD(a personal friend of the band) killed himself and his GF asked Dryden to write a song, Bringing us Sleepwalker on Up in the Attic, Great song.
that isnt the song that made them famous... theres three songs on their debut album that made it in the top 30, 2 of them being in the top 10 at some point.
I remember a version on Kerrang just before the most common version (da 1 in da cinema) woz released. It had them singin and screens wit old films in da back. Woz also a gd vid.
This video wasn't unreleased. I saw it on RAGE before they got popular with 'smooth criminal'. They released this is as their first song and it did poorly, so they then released 'smooth criminal' and once that got popular they re-released this with a different video clip while they were a hot topic on the music scene.
I was just thinking that! At first I thought it might have something to do with the low quality, but the drums are no doubt mixed very differently... On second listen, I think the vocals also sound slightly less compressed, as well as the beginning and end of the bridge hit in a different sort of way, if that makes sense
