Green Day Gets 'Lustful' With 'Oh Love' (Video)
"Instead of pulling at your heart strings, it's like a noose pulling at your heart a little bit," said frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.
There’s no political agenda behind Green Day’s latest video, but there are lots of models—and a shot of Billie Joe Armstrong sharing spaghetti with one of them ala Lady and the Tramp.
“Oh Love” is the first in what promises to be a slew of videos from the band in next year, as they prepare to unleash a trilogy of albums, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!.
The band described their new video as a “tension ballad.”
“Instead of pulling at your heart strings, it's like a noose pulling at your heart a little bit, and trying to keep your emotions intact," Armstrong told MTV. "It's very lustful, which is kind of a subject we haven't gotten into in a long time.”
Bassist Mike Dirnt, who can be seen giving some lustful looks of his own in the video, added: “It's about tension between your heart and other parts of your body.”
