I love the video, excellent idea. so simple. One of the best of the year me think.

But yeah, Cock fighting is real bad, I would rather keep them in a dark warehouse with about 20000 other chickens and never let them see the day of light, then have it turn up at my local supermarket for me to cook.

I've been to a festival where Roel Wouters talked about this videoclip.
These cocks are not fitted with blades. And there are animal handlers present during shooting. The other posters you can see in the videoclip are not made by cockfighting.
So stop your pussywhining - you seriously think a modern day videoclip maker would abuse animals? Come on.
- hmmm, so just give the appearance that you're abusing animals to garner more interest? I'm taking notes...Point5
- But they are fighting. The modern day video maker has created the situation where violence will happen.chossy
- Violence shmiolence. Is that your point? Go to the theatre. Violence. Buy a vg. Violence.eating_tv

I met Roel once, he seems like a nice guy. And I like a lot of the work he does (and has done together with Luna Maurer).
But I do not like this musicvideo. It seems like a cheap way to get people talking about the video and band.

These birds were picked up and placed together in the hope that they would fight it's fucking disgusting. To call it art is a disgrace. I feel as strongly about this as I do about that beast who took a dog and starved it to death.

- Ah, pretty lame. Dying dog + ambiguous bullshit words != art. Where's the exploration?rounce

Great video. I love it. Especially the bit where the birds fluff their crests in slow motion, like a boxer flexing his shoulders, and the camera sorta circular pans like they're squaring up.
Artistically it's saying nothign of any depth. But we've lost the aesthetic in art, and aesthetically this is what i live for. Love it!

great video, esp the slowmotion bits of the aerial maneuvers.
nice posters too (kinda remind me of OK Computer artwork, maybe its the feint and same kind of colours).
id certainly rather buy this poster - something that blood sweat and tears has went into (even if they are the cocks own blood sweat and tears lol) rather than the mass produced hacienda pish that was posted the other day on here.

Chossy, i dont think the rest of us are "pro cockfighting" here.
The video itself is shit as is the music.
The beauty i'm seeing is in the awe of the movement of these animals fighting and the complexities of some of the moves, the feathers flowing and the wings-a-flapping.
It's the same as watching a video of a neuclear bomb going off, or a hurricaine or tidal waves wiping out a city.
Yes, it's a terrible thing, but it has you in absolute awe watching the sheer power and devestation of these forces.- would have been good to have a lot more slow-mo moves in there and better camera angles23kon

set > insightful! ironic you should say that as well.
- Ironic?set
- yep.andreasm
- how?set
- a few months ago you critisised something I did based on the fact that it was purely surface (in your opinion). Up until now I didn't know what kind of work you appreciate, but now I know. you like when things look awesome basically. It's ironic because of your critique of my work was... that it was shallow.andreasm
- know what kind of work you like. but now I do. you like when things look awesome. it's ironic because your critisism of my work was that it was shallow.andreasm
- my work was that it was shallow.andreasm
- Interesting. Although this is far from shallow and I meant fuck all the moral issues.set
- Hah. I implied your comment was shallow not the piece of work discussed.andreasm
- 'your criticism of my work was that it was shallow' - it was. This isn't.set
- hahaha, I love you man.andreasm
- Well I think your a right cunt! :Dset
- ouch.andreasm

"After the shoot the cocks were cleaned and professionally checked for any injury. None were injured in any way."

"Animals fight each other, get over it."
My sentiment exactly. Your eggshell sentimentalities have been played.

Just to end this discussion in the nicest possible way,
consider the violent beasts we are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ong…It's not surprising if we see an occational revival of dada.
This video may be both beautiful and shocking (to some),
in the end I consider that a good thing. Better than numbness.(Now, how do I close this thread)
- hey, don't close it - this kind of discussion is why i get on here every day.bigtrick
- agree with bigAmpersanderson

This video do not shock me because of its content but just because some stupid (IMO) people thought it would be great to make some money from a cock fight (which is a natural act of violence). I don't find it artsy or cool and I do not consider it a good thing in any way. I think there are a lot of other ways not to be numbness.
