The Dresden Dolls - "The Kill" Music Video

[kleinesSchwarz]

ich habe angst auf ein weiteres video von ihnen zu drücken, da ich sie erst seit zehn minuten kenne und ich mir nicht vorstellen kann ein noch besseres lied von ihnen zu finden, da dieses die messlatte sehr hoch gelegt hat

[xXAnimeKingTonyKunXx]

i really enjoyed it C:

[cansuturgut]

My imaginary friends brought me here.

[i4GS1]

what am i watching?

[LunaLiddell]

@i4GS1 A fan-made video of the song The Kill by The Dresden Dolls on the album "No, Virginia...".

[TheEmoHamster]

i've been looking for this video ever since i saw it in 2009 when i was just surfing the internet.

im so glad i found it :)

[amaranthex]

Did anyone notice the red point on his cheek appears at 0:40? O.o

[lesprud9]

@amaranthex me me!! haha

[Sother3]

Gotta love this song.

[TBAPbcha]

ЯННП

[Catharubi]

didn`t get the video :c

[OwrKeeng]

is this some ICP band?

[unorthodoxJ]

@OwrKeeng die

[artfan101]

@OwrKeeng no.

[OwrKeeng]

@artfan101 I love ICP its better than this band

[artfan101]

@OwrKeeng

well, then perhaps you should go watch some more of their videos. You would probably be a lot happier.

[OwrKeeng]

@artfan101 I don't really feel that way, you don't know me.

[sonicrocks06]

@OwrKeeng Well, you shouldn't be commenting that another band is better on this band's video because the fans will most likely attack you. Just sayin'.

[skittyDvlogs]

This video is what reminded me about The Dresden Dolls.

The Dresden Dolls got me into Amanda Palmer.

Their music combined saved my life and sanity so many times, and have inspired me to become a better person and to live life without regret. I think to me this is the most important video on youtube.

[sabreyow]

@skittyDvlogs i agree with everything you just said and i just discovered the dolls & amanda palmer about a year ago,the same way as you.&im a 43 year old guy..lol.i went through my times that you are going through,in the early 90's and it was pearl jam that "saved"me..i will say this,if amanda palmer was around when i was a young teen in the 80's,it wouldve changed the musical direction i wouldve taken from heavy metal,later grunge..instead i wouldve listened to more like them,more cure,etc...

[XxSonicSalmonellaxX]

I've given up on trying to figure out what the video fully means because I feel no one ever really truly knows with art, even the creator. Now all i do is watch and be amazing.

[EpicMiniFeesh]

Whoops. didn't realise this wasn't the real band. LOL.

[EpicMiniFeesh]

I wish I was as pretty as her. She's beautiful. They're a really good band. KEEP GOING!!

[10291029fabiana]

Ah esperanças!



[zimshadows]

she is very beautiful

[DoubleTastyMcBacon]

Akali on the loose.

[themadhatter10771]

im so confused....

[KingNurk]

Tão bem feito e de acordo com a música que eu achei que era oficial até ler a descrição. Parabéns a todos os envolvidos.

[Zeldeiro]

Obrigado por seres brasileiros :D

[YesterdayStar]

Stunning! Absolutely beautiful, amazing, well-done. I`m a huge fan of this video and people who made it. This is it, this is the essence of The Dresden Dolls.

[BloodedMarilyn]

This is so genial.

[matze9to5]

so beautiful, it made me cry. huge huge thank you to the people making the video!

[Poet2916]

what type of piano is next to the bed?

[moomollz]

0:54 and 1:13 are my favourite parts

[GreenDayrockz]

Simply amazing.

[thelaughingman79]

i am a real music geek...i listen to ALOT of different stuff...but somehow...this is my very favorite song

[psychonautx26s]

@thelaughingman79 Out of all the Dresden Dolls' songs, this and "My Alcoholic Friends" get stuck in my head the most, in a good way.

[MadekCarax]

Umm, just to get those people stop fighting, yeah, she wakes up make up is on the left side. she goes to the mirror, in the reflection it is on the left side, meaning on /her/ it's on her right side. so, yeah... though I have no idea why people bother fighting about it.

On a happier note, this was seriously one of the best fanmade videos I have ever seen! I hope you keep with your team in the cinematography business!

[Narianna4sama]

This is so amazing. it had NO idea this was fan made until i read the comments. Wow.

[identidem]

@greenlauraday

.....Look, I understand that you're annoyed by the mirror comments, but seriously... You'll see it's on left when she goes to the mirror and that it's still on the same side when she looks in the mirror. Her makeup doesn't change sides. Ever.

[jezkn]

Of all their songs - this is the one with the best opening. It's really got something. But unfortunately the quality is not consistent throughout .

[thizonatto]

Nossa ficou muito bom o clipe que vcs fizeram parabéns

[therealcritic28]

This is so beautiful . . .

[TheHeLLisUpwithToast]

very nice

[lyrenessa]

i love what you did here!!! the concept is really good! So hard to believe its fan made and not a legit video!

[DorixDoll]

this video is just.... truly a work of art. I can't stop watching it.

[PoorDeadBat]

I really hope that you get a job making/directing music videos. You totally deserve it.

[morgenrottten]

I just love You guys! It is the best music video I have ever seen !!!

It simply tells everything.. Thank You !!!!

[shadowbarrowman]

this is amazing ;-; It really should be the offical music video!

.. Plus, Brian was it ? he is adorable :3

[TheLaceratedSky]

This song is amazing, and is the music video...I'm trying to understand what I just saw though:)

[amosthree]

The best fan made video I have eveer seen! I hope Amanda and Brian have seen this.

[soniatic]

who could dislike this? T_T

[Xdestroyer6]

Defeating the British is not boast-worthy.

[wakooooooooo]

@Xdestroyer6 Bring it, yank. ;)

[MYV382N]

@Xdestroyer6

Yeah, yank- bring it.

[SeiPR727]

O__________O

Fan Made?!!!!!!!

God! This is so much better than a lot of official videos and you're telling me its FAN-MADE?!!! You have rekindled hope in me TTwTT

[bigNtastybigmac]

I love how well all that make up came off... :D

[xXxNovemberRelicxXx]

Please make this available on iPod. D:

I'm mostly on my iPod and I love this song and video...

[DietW33d]

Very good. I can see a career with this natural talent

[missmelodyd]

amazing!

[PukingInnocence0815]

Amazing! Keep up the good work!

[svcramerable]

I like the black and white vs. color theme. Reminds me of Regina Spektor's video for "Fidelity"

[patchworkofmica]

GENTE, eu vi esse vídeo cinqüenta mil vezes hoje e só agora fui perceber que era fan made e de brasileiros! Shame on me, mas GOD BLESS YOU. Sério. Foi o melhor vídeo de The Kill para sempre. ♥

[b0nerparty]

This video states the vicious fight against conformity and hypocrisy to me. Anyone second that?

[LFCDanny123]

Really can't believe this video was fan made, it looks so pro, amazing.

[shanepender]

fan made? AWESOME

[Mecha3panicriot]

[YourDarkAccomplice]

@Mecha3panicriot - I'd like to know what it was about too..

[svcramerable]

@Mecha3panicriot - because she was putting color everywhere!

[xXxpOiZuNcUpCaKexXx]

woah! I never knew it was fan made...

[daseekr123]

i love how the video went from color to black and white :)

[lambovsatan225]

Made by the Drama Club for the Drama Club

[greenlauraday]

anyone noticed when shes in bed the make up is on her left side, when she wipes it off, its on her right side

[lambovsatan225]

@greenlauraday it's because the camera is.. on the.. mirror? :s

[greenlauraday]

@lambovsatan225 Nope. I looked over and over again :) Still great video :)

[FreddieParkin]

@greenlauraday Mirrors eh? Not a new invention...

[greenlauraday]

@FreddieParkin Sssssh Lol

[DorixDoll]

@greenlauraday because it's a mirror??? xD

[greenlauraday]

@DorixDoll No. i. am. not. a . retard. look at the reflection yourself.

[busted916]

[drognisep]

It's from No, Virginia...

[pochwaloni]

[SuccubiLove666]

OMG srsly i think it is THE best fanmade Music Video i Ever saw... i mean srsly it is GREAT!

[romperstompist]

@SuccubiLove666 srsly learn to fucking spell and use grammer

[SuccubiLove666]

@romperstompist why? :o

[greenlauraday]

@romperstompist Says the person who can't grammar or seriously LOL. Haha.

[LadyDark000]

Beautiful make up both, man and woman

[TheKingHorror]

That was really an awesome job if I didn't know better I would have thought this was official. Kudos.

[Elemenopeeful]

The guy who plays Brian is beautiful.

[WritingMyDestiny]

i love this song...

this ''fanmade'' video is better than a lot of ''real'' ones ...

i watch and listen to this at least once a month... it makes me love life.

[DtotheP1313]

The 78 dislikes are complete wankers!

[Sasoriscarecrow]

Charles looks a lot like Brian. That is probably why so many people think this is a real video b4 reading the description.

[iened]

aaa... przez sen też czasami można płakać. ujmujące.

[Betterthanyoukazoo]

FAN MADE?!?! No, I dont believe you... Its too good

[TheDominoJester]

This is one of my favorite music videos of all time, I don't care if it's unofficial. And really I don't think it matters. Good work.

[DanzerNeko13]

I could tell that it was fan made, but the video was so well done, I have to take my hat off to you. It was extremely well done, the shots were amazing, and it captured the Dresden Dolls style to a T. Amazing.

[hounahou]

Best fan made video. Ever.

[Anacor100]

OMG !

This is the BEST VIDEO made by Fans !

I didn't know that !, I read the description and I read the part that says : " This is the result of crazy DD fans and cinema students from Brazil teaming up to make a colorful music video. Enjoy! "

And i was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME !?

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO !

I'M YOUR FAN !

[TheGuillote69]

horrible..aburrido..

[Anacor100]

@TheGuillote69 Estas hablando en serio !?

Esto es arte !, yo no sabia que era un video hecho por FANS !

Les quedo genial .

[bbruney]

I hate mimes!

[EleanorDB]

Have to say for a while I thought it might be the real video as I haven't seen it. I do admit I thought they'd purposefully gone for the low budget style as it doesn't the higher end shots but I'm very impressed. You guys have a talent, I'm sure you'll go far.

[misunderstoodblood]

STOP SLATING THE BRITISH! I'm from the UK, and not only LOVE this, but i MAKE stuff like this too!

[trigger36mortis]

Looked like n-95 masks there. Ass-kicking.

[lovelydisarray]

this is fantastic! good job!



[KriBlackRoson]

awesome, bravo!

me encantó, es precioso

Wunderschöne Nachricht <3

grazie *-*

[lunautical]

74 people are British.

[MrBennjjo]

@lunautical 61,838,154* are British. But good try.

[lunautical]

@MrBennjjo People who see the literal in everything should steer clear of the internet for their own health.

[MrBennjjo]

@lunautical I understood the joke perfectly well, otherwise I wouldn't of bothered googling the population of Britain to spite it.

[lunautical]

@MrBennjjo But now you've created this literal offshoot of a joke that's only semi-funny anyway, and then made even less funny joke. Are you bored? Hit replay. :D

[2saga2]

This is FAN MADE? Oh my God, I've watched it so many times but never realized that! Wow, I love it!

[omfblol]

bravo, i absolutely love it. <3

[lilrox222]

love ur video!!!!!!! 

[EpicFail345]

Every generation has had a genre of creative and brilliant music, from the classic rock greats of led zeppelin right through to post punk and dark electronic music of the 80's, prehaps grunge in the nineties, and now in the 2000's we have dark cabaret. So many people complain about modern music being awfull, it isn't, it's just that the good stuff is underground, as it has always been. The mainstream music has always been awfull, but go underground and you will see that music is as good as ever.

[MrBennjjo]

@EpicFail345 I don't honestly think you can ever simply throw out of the window mainstream music. That's pathetic, give everything a chance, a few decent songs are slipping through. It's just the opinion of those that believe themselves culturally superior that hold that think that way.

[EpicFail345]

@MrBennjjo Ok a few good bands would be considered mainstream ie. muse but as a majority it's mostly awfull.

[TheGuillote69]

@EpicFail345 horrile...



[PermenantMarkerNL]

I'll admit, i had no idea who the Dresden Dolls are when i watched this so probably don't apreciate it in that way, but this video is amazing! Love the message of this vidoe and the song is an excellent choice! Um, more please? (: x

[candyapple1766]

FAN.... MADE>>... SERIOUSLY? WOAH

[yamercado2]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[MrsNeumond]

I LOVE IT

[nipponfanDA]

 by the way, i visited your flickr to find out more on this project, but I can't seem to find anything on it there! I was wondering if you could help direct me to where you have more relating this?

[nipponfanDA]

shiiiiwwoooow! my god!! i actually didn't read that this was fan made until i finished watching this.. i had no idea (since i've never seen the original video)! but wow! amazing job! well done!

[JackieBorelli]

@nipponfanDA there is no original video for "the kill," at least not on youtube, I don't think the band made one. so I consider this the original video, since its so brilliant & completely captures who the Dresden Dolls are. =)

[dystopia7]

This is fucking excellent!

[EmpressBlackisJen]

What's up with the paint roller in the video?

[zKATRYNz]

amazing!! 

[darkness7100]

Muy buena !!!

[MexicanHumanoid]

I've enjoyed this vid for since I found it years ago, I really hope you got to meet Amanda for doing this.

[SleepTights]

Great song, great video! Thanks for uploading!

Our band, "The Sleep Tights", is currently in the studio working on

our second album.

Our first album is somewhat similar to The Dresden Dolls,

but then again, not really, (haha), anyways, you nice people

out there can decide. Have a listen at my channel, you might

enjoy it. We are definitely off in our own little world.... :]

[bartho]

wow what a story!

[MistressDrucilla]

I would suggest actually sending Amanda this video, they have a section on their site for fan videos, and It think this should be the crown jewel of the collection. Very beautifully done, and I must say Charles, who played Brian, is pretty good looking~ <3

[supermangafani]

I think this is really awesome video whit great song, I love this

[lauracarolinacasti]

que linda canción.

[gerbilloverrocks]

I've tried and tried to figure it out, but what is the actual meaning of the video?

I'd really like to know; it's just so beautiful.

[justxxme007]

@gerbilloverrocks

check highest quotet reactions (;

[dianedominique]

Omg I watched half the video before realizing it was fan made. awesome :D

[xXHana3Xx]

You're my inspiration ! Greaaat video, filming, shots and actors - perfect ! And of course music : >

[melnou]

omg this isnt an official video?!?

Wow :)

[muntificator]

Fan made!? i know a certain Fan who could get a job in making music videos =P

[channa88]

she looks like neil gaimans death with the eye makeup and all

[iTzSHAKiKi]

This is so cool!!!! Thanks so much for making the video, I love it <3

[Battie]

when she first got out of bed I was thinking "oh... She's leaving her coin operated boy.... :("

[NikkiOfTheCookies]

@Battie Me too!!! D:

[Fancybowties]

i like the song a lot..except she used "retarded" which kind of ruined it for me..

but the video's really brilliant.

[xbanxsanityx]

@Fancybowties Amanda Palmer is full of word play. retarded has several meanings and several more connotations. don't just take it as a slur.

[Fancybowties]

@xbanxsanityx i'll go for that..except it seemed to have pretty negative connotations in the way she used it. i'm curious what do you think she might have intended when she used it?

[xbanxsanityx]

@Fancybowties I always took it as slowed down, delayed, what have you. Behind the times- like political parties always seem to be.

[Fancybowties]

@xbanxsanityx well i definitely like that a lot better. it doesn't seem like amanda palmer to be ableist..i would like to think she was using it that way.

[rikudude2]

I have watched this vid ever since i found it in 08....this has to be one of the most amazing videos for some reason...it just reallly suits the song. Dresden Dolls songs always make me want to emote in ome way, this song makes me think about revenge but this vid makes sorrow and liberation like true PUNK CABERT IS FREEDOM!

[SuperbusOhYeah]

Really AMAZING.

[greenraqs]

i love the music video, but the camera angle when they are running wasnt that good

[ichschlafegern]

Amazing work!

Very impressing.

[BlackAndBlueStainz]

Gives me chills. Amazing work. This song is awesome.

[xBlacKEyEx]

this is really awesome work =) really pulled me through the whole clip and didnt get bored one bit =) lovely message too.

[darkmattersunshine]

YOU NEED TO PRODUCE/DIRECT/FILM OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEOS IN THE FUTURE! If you don't, the world will be at a loss!!!

This is so amazing <3

[textme233]

i just wish the while video was in black and white except the paint, it did that halfway through randomly. but amazingly done other than that:)

[darkmattersunshine]

@textme233 I don't think it's random... I think it has to do with the situation, it goes downhill from the point of where everything turns black and white... but I may be reading into it too much :/

[inkkitten666]

The video is well done but has NOTHING at all to do with the song.

[camilawz]

HAHAHAH I just knew that it was fan-made when I saw "corre neguin" in a grafitti. Seriously, brilliant, well-done. // Só percebi que era feito por fãs quando vi um "corre neguin" em um grafitti. Mas sério, brilhante, muito bem feito, tá de parabéns. :)

[sebastianflyte07]

ur very talented

[teekdub]

U mean this REALLY is a fan video?!!! awesome on SO many levels. great song but amazing video!

[thecoolestfreak]

@teekdub @sebastianflyte07 It says in the description box "This is the result of crazy DD fans and cinema students from Brazil teaming up to make a colorful music video."
