I wouldn't call steel horse out on it, you know he's usually VERY supportive of anything past the 80's ... :mrgreen:

thanks to covid we got this pop country crap

This song has no salvation. No video can save it.
But talking about the video only, I just liked the end...

For something the band HAS to be together for though. Why risk putting everyone on flights to and from and accommodations for the sake of the video? I don't think it 100 percent is the reason it's just Jon but considering this was filmed a month or however long ago I'm okay giving it a pass the band's not in the video, you know?

2020: The New Album
 

David won’t be performing the live 2020 in full as he’s too embarrassed and as he didn’t play on album he hasn’t bothered learning it anyway.

Only joking he’s playing with princess diana. So we have 2 original members on the 2020 performance in full.

Surprised he bothered letting Tico know about it.

But they all met up and recorded it......if you believe Jon.

I do believe Jon and I also believe my ears. It beats beating to death a tired conspiracy theory. Phil would have zero reason to lie, he's pretty open about things.

Them recording together isn't the hardest thing in the world when parts are recorded one at a time. Could they have filmed the video together, sure. Am I bothered that they didn't? Not really, I'm picking my battles on the things that bug me about the band when it comes to the pandemic. If we're going in order of importance things the band do the song and rehearsing together can't be avoided, miming to the video just falls into "it doesn't matter as much" territory and isn't worth the risk.

very strange,
is david replaced by somebody else for these recordings?

Yeah the guy from Kings of Suburbia is subbing in (not sure of his name, sorry).

Good video. The production harms the song a little, but I think it's still much better than the other new songs I've heard, which granted isn't saying a whole lot. Main negative is that in the long run I think 2020 is going to be a year that a lot of us won't want to revisit and will be a year that we try to forget about, so naming the album "2020" and having songs like this won't age well. But still, enjoyable video and Jon has done a lot of great working during this pandemic, proving once again that he's a class act.
