Should this not have been out a month ago! Anyway, what do you think? It's obviously meant to depict Liberty Lane, focusing more on the song lyrics than the band, whilst making it clear which band it is. I don't mind it, but too much focus on the cutting of Quo fans hair for me. There could have been a bit more focus on other things in 'Liberty Lane' for me, although that would have cost more money to film. Reminds me a little bit of Something 'Bout You Baby I Like. Hope the link works. youtu.be/KCXJplgEuys

Hope the link works. youtu.be/KCXJplgEuys It would have been cheaper if they'd have just filmed stuff on the street / Liberty Lane... whereas they had to hire out the Barbers Shop and pay all the people they hired to act in the promo... and they ended up with an awful promo video. Like I said on the other forum... it would have been better for them to have just filmed the band performing it live at a couple of different venues, and compiled it together using the best shots. It would have been easy layering the album audio over it, as they play it at the same tempo live due to using Stage Tapes. It's not even nit picking at this point... everyone's reaction to it has been the same. One massive WTF. Awful video for a decent song.

Haven't seen it. And too scared now Is it better or even worse than the video for Ain't Complaining?
I'd better judge for myself I suppose.

I don't really think it matters that much if the video is good, bad or indifferent to be honest. In my opinion it's a very good song, which won't really be affected much by the video.

Have just watched it - and yep, reminded me of SBYBIL too. Guess they were aiming for a retro feel and there was some thought and effort put into this. And I like that. And I actually thought the music is strong enough to carry this. So, maybe not the greatest vid there ever has been, but for a Quo video definitely not bad either. And memorable .

Watched it and it’s OK. Not great but why waste money doing s promo vid for a song that won’t sell much. To me LL isn’t really a single. it’s just a promo as much for the album. Anyways nowhere near as cringeworthy as ‘ Dear John ‘ 😂

That was alright that. Seen much, MUCH worse. Never been to Liberty Lane - or even knew of it's existence till the song - so I presume the start of the vid was footage of it? Looks a $hithole. He suggested less than diplomatically You half expect DCI Gene Hunt to come screeching into shot in his red Quattro Reminds me though. Need to get me hair cut.

I think the sign said Pope Street at the start of the video. I don't think there was a sign for Liberty Lane, if it even exists!
