New Donnas Video - "Don't Wait Up For Me" (Stereogum Premiere)
Tapping the Joan Jett part of our brains, the Donnas offer plenty of backstage hijinx, some cool vanity plates, slow-mo drumming (check that bow tie!), costume changes (black metal forearm spikes, purple tights, Richie Sambora hats), and windswept locks in their rock-n-roll-all-night video for "Don't Wait Up For Me." No worries, we won't "wait" up for you, cute singer, but wait ... Is that faux desert where you're kickin' it live style part of the natural history museum Interpol used for Our Love To Admire?
Bigger question: What happens to the dude they kick down the stairs? Hope he's okay.

How long until Beth Ditto and the Fat Donna consume their respective bandmates and form the biggest girl group ever (and only a duo at that)?

There aren't many people in this world who could get away with knocking a plate out of Allison's hands like that. Maya does occupy an unusually privileged position.

Score = -2
That was awesome!!
Score = 0
Wow only 84000 CDs?? Thats pretty pathetic, I wonder if they were close to being dropped from their label whoever it is. That Gold Medal album did indeed suck. The few tracks I heard from the new one sound better tho, more straight up hard rock. If not... this one will tank like Gold Medal

There aren't enough words to describe how terrible that is. If you didn't know better, you'd think it were a mock video or an SNL creation. I can't believe a group of people, not just the band, put their time and energy and money into a project as tremendously stupid as that. It's mind boggling.

you rude people need some brains with a side of manners to go.
the donnas are amazing musicians, they have been around for 15 years and now they own their own label, they love what they are doing and so do I!
I bet your life sucks in comparison so get over yourselves.

I have been a fan of The Donnas since 1997 and always will be, the music they play "live" speaks for it's self. The Donnas are and will always be a band the many people will come to know as one of the hottest live bands to see in concert, they are not a bubble gum band like Britney or Lindsey,Christina,Justin Timberfag and so on, The Donnas have nothing to prove to anyone but them self, they can hold their own and Rock with the best Rock_N_Roll bands out there. So until anyone of you fucking morons who post stupid shit about the band keep your mouth shut and go see them play "live" then post your comments, until then please keep all the bad comments to your self and go see a Britney Spears Concert or go watch a Paris Hilton Video
Score = 0
i was one of the screaming fans at the start of the vid...i dont like the vid...what a waste of time
Score = 0
Firstly, there seems to be a whole lot of people who don't seem to grasp the concepts of irony or spoofs. Same with all the comments on how they "used to be fun". Are you so unintelligent that you can't see that its a tongue in cheek video? Ever heard of poking fun at yourselves and the music scenes? As for not bringing the rock or whatever, have a good listen to the screaming guitars or the pounding drums and then ask yourself whether you can write or play a song like that.
Score = 0
Stereogum premiere? Does that mean The Donnas'
management gave Stereogum the right to be the first to post this on the Web?* (In other words, a Web premiere. Strictly speaking, a Stereogum premiere means this is the first time it's showing up on Stereogum, which implies that you're going to post it again.)
*A cynic might say no other Web site gave a rat's ass. Said cynic might be knocking Stereogum even moreso than the Donnas.
Score = 0
I was really into their music circa Spend the Night...everything I've heard since then was kindof meh.
Brett looks good in the video, in any case. Not gonna lie though, I agree with ringo and kingoffresno...it all seems so forced.
Score = 0
This is a great video, they "used to be fun"?? you watched the video right? haha
I'm sorry but some of your comments are amusing to say the least. Have you seen them live?
I would recommend it, and then after you've seen them play, I dare you to say these things to their faces instead of hiding behind a computer screen.
Bottom line, they rock and should be respected for their insane amount of hard work throughout the 15 years of being a band.
This video is great, donnas are awesome! :D
Score = 0
What ever happened to creative criticism? If you don't like the video, move on and get over yourselves! This video was made by them, for them and their respectable fans, and maybe even those who would understand the humor behind the video. The preparation for this album's release has been non stop, and they've been working damn fucking hard to make it the best that they possible can
The Donnas are doing what they want, how they like it now, if you can't respect their musical endeavors and creativity, so be it. Grow up! Make a mature comment like everyone else, and maybe try understand where they're coming from if your tiny brain can even handle it!
Their music is amazing, and I rest my case with that! Fuck all the haters.
Score = 0
Donald, how long until you get out of ur parents' basement and get a fucking life? If you don't like The Donnas, don't be on here. Anyone who would take even a minute out of their lives to post sum moronic comments insulting a band, is a pathetic loser. Do you see me running around posting hate comments on vids of your fav bands? NO. Because I have a life, with which I do more useful things than that. Not to mention I have something called manners, guess u've never heard of that. so stfu and go ask ur mommy for some money to buy a Donnas CD so you can know what REAL music is. And this vid was awesome, especially considering the low budget they had to work with. It was very fun.

that song is perfection. the video is addictive.

Hey haters, fuck the Hell off. Seems a lot fo you twits can't remember that Rock and Roll is allowed to be fun, not 100% all the time "stabby stabby cut cut, my life is horrible" music.
This is designed for people who like rock and roll, not you morons. So cram it up your self-ritghteous asses.
Oh this video sucks, bla bla bla...ENH! Sorry morons, but would you like the advance to the lightning round where the scores can get really interesting?
The correct answer is this video is awesome. Unless you want some moronic piece of shit like Trapped In The Closet from an artist that's incredibly full of himself.
From looking at the haters on this thread, I can kind of see the music they like has no amount of fun in them at all. It's all kopey bullshit. So you know what, listen to your crap about how horribley shitty life is and all that endless whining , and the rest of us who love rock and roll, the ones who know fun and a great band when they hear it can have fun.
But I will say, he haters make me laugh, because I know what they are, they are easily led sheep. Because the Donnas aren't on a huge label or given 10 seconds of the 30 second time alotted for music videos on MTV, they must suck, or at least that's what the sheep herders say.
So, for you sheep, allow me to say "Baaaaa. Baaaa. Baaaaaaaa." For the ret of us with brains, that translates into: The Donnas are propbably the best rock band out there right now, so YIPPY KYE YAY MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
And if you aren't down with that, I got TWO WORDS FOR YA!

This is creepy. A few weeks ago you post about Blind Melon at the same time I do. Then, last week, you post about Via Audio on the same day I did. And now we both post about The Donnas on the same day. I swear, if you post about Megadeth next Wednesday, I'll be convinced you have a spy in my editorial meetings!
Torry from The Donnas tells me why everytime she hears "November Rain", she remembers getting grounded.

Gals, you did a wonderful job on the video, ignore the comments elsewhere, this is fucking fantastic! You ROCK now, and you've ROCKED always, baby! Keep up the amazing work.
Being as polite as I possibly can be:
Tennessee, please go back to the mother ship from which you came...and check your defective ears while you're at it.
I'd like to see you create a song anywhere near as amazing as what the Donnas have been producing for over 14 YEARS! Hold a candle to Joan Jett and L7 while you're at it, because the Donnas are in the exact same boat.

You know, I'd ask the morons who decide to chime in if they could do any better, whether it be in actual video making or rock song writing and performing, but I know the answer. No, they can't, they really can't. They can't fathom the hard work put into anything, and they get jealous of those that can work hard push themselves.
The opinions of these sheep are incredibly invalid, because they essnetially list no reasons for why they think the way they think. They just say it. If just one woud say "Hey, not my type of music" POOF! Instant validation, you're not into hard rock, no problem. But the sheep can't have complex thoughts like that. All they are able t do is say "this sucks" and throw out some insults that even a brain damaged spider monkey could outdo.
So continue on sheep, continue on all you want. But the fact of the matter is quite simply this: you wish you could be where this band is now. You wish you had your own label. You wish you had put out7 albums and toured the world. You wish you had loyal fans instead of people telling you that you are "teh awesome" when you imitate something you've seen on jackass. You wish you had talent. You wish you had something more than bitching about people who've accomplished something with there lives.

Hmm, same/only fan? Gee, I wonder how u last 14 years with 1 fan....so intelligent. You can see proof that if you don't like The Donnas you must be brain-dead, as all the haters seem to qualify. When all you can say is "this sucks, f the bitches" then you have proven your utter stupidity. This explains why you do not like The Donnas, you are clearly retarded. Therefore you should not be allowed on a computer, I'll have to call ur mom and tell her to take the computer out of your room, and have u committed ASAP to where you can do no more harm to the online community. And I'd love to see any one of you say these things in front of The Donnas. None of you would, you'd just stand there and stfu. So do likewise here, stfu bitches. Don't talk all big cuz ur behind a screen, ur just proving ur stupidity and utter cowardice.

"The Donnas have been around for 105 billion years" only holds up if you consider dicking around on guitar and sounding worse than Meg White on drums in your early teens as being a solid rock outfit. 1993 my ass. They didn't have anything together until the new millennium.

Best rock/metal parody of the year. Watch out, Weird Al! The Donnas are moving in on your turf!
Honestly, I've never heard less sincere, legit rock songs in my life. Did they run across some old Krokus, Keel and Great White albums at a yard sale and decide to pay half-hearted homage?
