New Disturbed Video - "Land Of Confusion"

The video I've been waiting ten months for. No Spitting Image here, but there's some cool animation by Todd McFarlane.

McFarlane rules. Great video. But, I think that Do The Evolution is better.

As far as metal mascots go, DisturbedGuy is no Eddie from Iron Maiden. He's much more goofy looking than threatening, which thereby makes the whole video pretty goofy looking. McFarlane's best work is years behind him. The video is much too serious for a metal cover version of a Phil Collins song.

May suggestion to you is this, turn the volume down on your computer speakers, put on your iPod, and start any Wolfmother song just as you click the video, it's quite enjoyable that way.

so the girl from do the evolution got too much power with her nazi-ish army, so comet-man came down and led us on a revolt against the love child of Gulliver from Gulliver's Travels and Rich Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly, all backed in soundtrack by a "metal" band that has already covered tears for fears and is now covering genesis?

i dunno why everyone's worried about comets, cuz apparantly when they hit the earth....money comes out, solving all of our problems...o wait, money is the problem to begin with

i'm not sure this all is exactly what phil was talking about, more of a desperation thing rather than CHUGACHUGGAREVOLTMUTHAFUCKA

That video made no sense. So, are rich people behind all of our problems? If so, why are they blowing up New York? Or, is this a conspiracy theory video a la 9/11 was an "inside job"?

And why should New Yorkers be allowed to beat up our elected representatives at the UN?

Could have used a cameo from Puppet Phil Collins

Cool animation, but it's message is just so vague and general "RAWR FIGHT ESTABLISHMENT OR SOMETHING". Oh, and a few images of terrorists thrown in for good measure.

If you need a Spitting Image fix, there are some clips over at YouTube. 'Born To Teach Woodwork' by Bruce Springsteen is a good one.

Great cover, absolutely shit video. It looks like McFarlane watched V For Vendetta one too many times before coming up with this.

With how good this cover was, the only way a video would have measured up would have been to update the original.

This video definitely lacks Phil Collins and Ronald Reagan in puppet form.

Here's the original video

Todd really did a great job animating the G8 guys' faces, particularly Koizumi of Japan.

There was a situation over here in Longwood, FL at Milwee Middle School where there was a boy shot by a police man. The squat that came was said to be from the sheriff's deputy department. The 2 squad men that I noticed were wearing army uniforms. Why? So the kid died at the hospital and some of our city believes that they should not have shot the kid. One guy pointed out that the squad was fully covered, and they were. They have pictures of them on the web. The boy was said to be carring a gun and taking kids hostage, but I told my brother to ask around and the supposed kid that was a hostage said that he happened to be in the bathroom talking to the "gunner". The "gunner" said he was scared and did not know what to do. The "hostage" told my brother that it did not look like a gun so he wasnt worried, but the sheriff's department showed a gun that looked like a gun. Anyone can deny it but I live a couple of blocks down from that school that I once attended. I moved to longwood at the age of 7 and have seen the changes in my city. Ones that are beutiful and secrets I cant deny. The official story was of a hostage situation that never happened and a fully covered army man shooting a kid. You know what happened, this boy came to my dreams. We have become a police state because of bush's brother that is Governer of this state. Just internet research the truth about 9/11. I say we go out to those bastards and give them what they deserve. REVOLUTION! Anyone living in Longwood, Fl join me with your hand out your car window with a peace sign.

This video touched every inch of my soul. There was a situation over here in Longwood, FL at Milwee Middle School in the begining of 2006 where there was a boy shot by a squat member. The squat team that came was said to be from the sheriff's deputy department. The 2 men that I noticed were wearing army uniforms. Why? So the kid died at the hospital and some of our city believes that they should not have shot the kid. One guy pointed out that the squat member was fully covered, and they were. They have pictures of them on the web. The boy was said to be carring a gun and taking kids hostage, but I told my brother to ask around and the supposed kid that was a hostage said that he happened to be in the bathroom talking to the "gunner". The "gunner" said he was scared and did not know what to do. The "hostage" told my brother that it did not look like a gun so he wasnt worried, but after the shooting, it toke some time for the sheriff's department to make a statement. The sheriff's department showed a gun that looked like a gun. They changed the gun. Remember this was national news that only covered half the stroy to invoke fear. Anyone can deny it but I live a couple of blocks down from that school that I once attended. I moved to longwood at the age of 7 (now 21) and have seen the changes in my city. Ones that are beutiful and secrets I cant deny. The official story was of a hostage situation that never happened. Plus a fully covered army man shooting a kid which did happen. This story was national. Then this boy came to my dreams and that has haunted me since. We have become a police state because of bush's brother that is Governer of this state. Just use the internet to research the truth about 9/11. I say we go out to those bastards and give them what they deserve. REVOLUTION!

All you Disturbed haters suck monkey dick, Disturbed is a living legend, if you dont like it then I suggest shutting up before someone carves their initials on the inside of your mothers uterus with a rusty knife while your neighbors dog fucks her in the ass, and your little sister fucks her face.

9/11 was controlled by the US. Osama is an American Actor hired by the govt. the arabs on the planes were hired by the US govt. That is what this video is about Corporate America has 99.99% of control of this nation. Want Control? eliminate the electoral college.

I thought the cover was fantastic. The video I didn't really try to make sense of. It was, to me, just a montage of disturbing nazi-esque images. I very much enjoyed it.
