whats this The Fixer video ????

Vedd Hedd

The thing I dont like is the crowd noise. Makes me think of rock band. The vidto itself is just 'ok'. Opposite of the even flow video, for example.

c'mon folks, the Fixer video is prretty bad.

What the hell is with the overlaid track of the crowd cheering?? ugh ... yeah, I know, it's supposed to emulate a live performance, but it's the studio version of the song, so, it's a horrible mix.

and, I haven't had seizures from all the jump cuts this bad since Wang Chung.

Again, it's all opinion. The song is growing on me, but the video .... woof.

I agree, I am not a fan of it either.

Are those two babies the same that are wearing the PJ shirt in those avatars, because they both look the same to me. Plus those two people posted one right after the other. I am just wondering.

Me personally
1. no I dont care for the video
2. it is a commercial therefore I dont give a crap about its quality or realism
3. its downloadable from itunes for NOTHING - so basically we can't complain about getting the song ahead of the album release for FREE

let's look on the bright side folks so bright in fact i gotta wear shades!

good song & i'm happy to have it

lets not make a good thing such a downer

Haha that's funny. Its funny too because both people joined around the same time and have about the same amount of posts!

Where was this video recorded? I heard the location mentioned on a radio interview, but I completely forget what was said.

I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw this video. It shows Pearl Jam as a teenage wannabe group. Very commercial. Awful. Please dont do this.

Two words of advice..


Lighten up.


It's a live video of them directed by Cameron Crowe. Just because they are dancing around all happy does not mean they are trying to be teenagers.

i could see the jonas brothers putting out the same video. it's just cheesy and awful. i would rather they just put out a regular video of an actual live show. whatever they are trying to do with the effects and the video and audio being out of sync is just an epic failure. doesn't do the song justice.

I can honestly say, I've never seen the Jonas brothers besides the parody of them on South Park..

I think the problem here lies in the fact that people know what a Jonas Brothers music video looks like. Where can I see a Jonas brothers music video??? I know MTV doesn't play videos.. please guide me to this station you watch Jonas Brother videos on so I can compare. :P

honestly, i've never seen one either. i can assume from the age of their fan base that this poppy fake cheesy shit is what they do. if you don't want to say jonas bros, substitute any teenie bop pop crap act in there - the point is, it's just embarrassing for the band. i don't mind PJ going a little more commercial or mainstream, that's not what i'm saying. and i love the new songs. but this video is horrendous.

The video is fine, you people are overreacting. :roll:

The only thing The Fixer video reminds me of is Neil Young's 'Harvest Moon" music video on steroids..

Slower, but same camera motions and cheese factor from the people in it.. I love it!

I get a headache and feel dizzy every time I watch "The Fixer" video. It's like eating seafood. Or if you like seafood, it's like drinking warm vodka. Please don't say you enjoy warm vodka.

It is a bit odd that Pearl Jam and C. Crowe have created a video that induces dizziness. I assume it's their way of telling me, "Don't watch this."

I guess my response would be, "Thanks. I won't. By the way, Single Video Theory kicks serious ass."

haven't watched it yet...........maybe i'll pass.

this video was brutally awful...the best part was when Ed turned his back on the crowd, but all together this looked like a cheap 80's video with the awful graphics

and i hate to say it the people in the crowd added to the horrible affect of the video

I personally think that this video goes PERFECTLY with the song.
