GimmeSomeMo Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 So much better than the released version (the original, not the flags one obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 She should have released this video. At least, the boycott would have been on full and she could have profited later from it, as Dixie Chicks did. But at the end, there was silence from radiostations but the feeling that she had no guts to go further. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks much, svper. Would be cool if there was version a HQ version that concludes with the grenade being caught by "George Bush," and includes the image of M from the screens, putting her hands over her ears, and then him using it to light the cigar. That would be the ultimate version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yes- "4 Minutes" was an attempt to put out an "event" video, but it didn't really work as well as I'm sure she would have liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pud Whacker Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 american life (the video) sucks. im glad the fans love it but i question if they would love it as much if it hadnt been forbidden and left off dvd collections and such.

Guest Topaz Scorpio Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 It's never been one of my favorite videos of hers as far as the look of it. But I love the fact that she took a risk with it and I like the messages it's sending. I think that's why I lost a bit of respect for her when she pulled it. I understand her reasons based on the McCarthy-esque climate of the time but her album tanked anyways so she should've just let it stand. After some time she would've been regarded as being ahead of the game with her anti-war criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernatural Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think it's great until the end where it starts to look rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what youre saying but it was the peak of the internet and we all saw it and it was everywhere, so thats where i get lost. it just made it an immediate fan favorite by pulling it. you know, for the simpletons.

Supernatural Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 From what I remember the video started airing in Europe, US MTV refused to play it and then Madonna immediately followed with that she was pulling the video because she was concerned for her children if people reacted badly.

erotica blu Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Why are people judging her decision to pull the video? She has children to protect. Americans (especially the gun toting) are sick, and during that time would make no bones about attempting to harm her or anyone she loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
