you have to wonder why he's still trying to roll downwards after over 3 minutes this guy must have an interesting backstory like he has a pathological fear of staying still
Well...the commenters on this page just proved one thing: "do not throw your pearls to swines". Art, I guess, must really be a rare commodity nowadays.
It is the most fun you will have watching somebody fall down an up escalator this year and the only music video or picture or visual or anything, ever where I've ever seen a drum set being played in an escalator, a moving escalator. It was awesome.
That's why My Machines is my fourth favourite video of the year.
That was the most disgusting music I have ever heard. The guys voice is shit! The guy on the escalators was funny and all but can someone put a cork in that guys mouth
If you dont understand a simple polyrythim dont bother leaving a comment. Been listening to ian williams tear it up since don cab. These are some of the most original musicians of our lifetime.
Funny video and a pretty interesting song. Definitely not horrible. Very out-of-the-norm for Gary Numan. I like it... it's pretty intense rock that's not metal, macabre or emo... although Gary Numan looked a little bit emo in this vid. Still.. Pretty good stuff. I don't like all of Battles' stuff, but this is good.
Great video. Love the socio-economic metaphor of the middle class guy who can't seem to get ahead falling down the escalator. Clearly tons of money spent on this video. Job well done. Good to see Gary Numan for the first time ever too :p
yah... The only thing that saved that song is that you can turn it all the way down and just watch endless fall down the escalator (if you've ever seen that in real life, it is horrifyingly funny). I can't imagine anyone walking around listening to the ear buds to that song for the sake of the song itself. That was like watching cool race car crashes set to the sound of Michael Moore's morning toilet sounds after an all-Taco Bell Saturday night.
Imagine that the lyrics speak of the technological singularity....
