I actually don't care for alot of QOTSA material but this song and "I sat by the ocean" are two of my favorites.

[@rubberdoots1979]

So I heard that Japan would not release "...Like Clockwork" due to censorship issues. Josh Homme paid the Japanese music censorship board a visit...

[@JustinFriesen]

Fun fact: Same Director as "This is America" by Childish Gambino (Hiro Murai)

[@apullcan]

and some episodes of Atlanta. Guy's a bona fide genius.

[@Megaalith]

This song should be renamed to This Is Japan

[@filipha]

@@Megaalith it's in Korea...

[@JoeSarasa]

no wonder why I loved this clip so much. Now it makes perfect sense.

[@gearsxn1118]

Yeah that's really sick and not only directed episodes for Atlanta also did a couple of ones for HBO's Barry

[@theaterobscura]

I just realized on my millionth rewatch that the guy at the bar who gets hit with a beer bottle is Troy. @1:35

[@janedoe-dy3rr]

The day Josh Homme picked up a microphone, the world became a better place. There are two, maybe three vocalist in rock'n roll that can really grab a hold of one's soul. Josh Homme is one of them. Chris Cornell would be the other.

[@Altri82]

Billie Joe Armstrong for me too

[@clementblanquet1146]

josh homme, chris cornell and thom yorke are my favorite rock singers

[@bloodlite6962]

Agreed and Maynard James Keenan

[@owencunningham187]

I think it's John frusciante in the runnings for #3

[@standinsilence]

I still think of Josh as a guitarplayer who also ended up doing vocals than someone whos primarily a, singer. He is a super awesome singer with a nice distinctive voice though.

[@corb1776]

took 8 years for me to realize how brilliant this video truly is

[@markkumanninen6524]

Same here, this one's crept under my skin play by play.

[@yukimaruzam]

I see this as the best video they ever did. Maybe ever will.

[@deebuhruru5560]

This song makes you feel a little high. It's perfection

[@createdeletegaming456]

[@carlosrincon6017]

[@romilrh]

This video was directed by Hiro Murai, who also directed the videos for: - Childish Gambino - This is America - Childish Gambino - 3005 - Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar - Never Catch Me - Spoon - Do You Not to mention he's directed most of the episodes of the show Atlanta

[@Arawn505]

Take It There by Massive Attack is also very good! Both the song and the music video (starring John Hawkes)

[@McCallahanIndustries]

Brilliant! This is a classic right here. Shows that music videos aren't quite dead yet.

[@kingexcrementus4268]

I never thought anyone believed they were? Some of the most creative music videos I've seen have been in the last 6-9 years.

[@D3ft0ne]

I think this video was inspired by an older video from - Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses.

[@bloodlite6962]

No they aren't this is proof makes me happy every time

[@anthonycortez9191]

yo i actually didnt get the golden ray gun. You'll be hearing from my lawyers shortly.

[@Grimpy970]

This video is a testament to why you should not try to 'keep pace' with partying rockstars.. or really, any 'party people' Edit: it's also a cautionary tale about pushing people and starting shit. Don't do it. Ever. You have no idea who or 'what' you're pushing around. Leave people alone, yeah? You might just get your teeth kicked in, or even buried in a shallow grave.

[@kurackurackurac]

This is one of the craziest videos ever... a Japanese, high class, corporate Clockwork Orange.

[@chrisbade2119]

I know your comment is old but it really is just Japanese Clockwork Orange. They even engage in the old ultra violence

[@charlie172011]

...Like Clockwork Orange

[@scurus11scurus]

i don’t know if you guys see it but it reminds me of Clockwork Orange

[@douglasbaz2683]

[@SpookyApparition]

[@jfv2312]
