Green Day Video Details Surface
'Know Your Enemy' video director talks about the forthcoming clip.
Green Day's video director Mathew Cullen has spoken to MTV about the band's new video for 'Know Your Enemy':
''We shot in downtown Los Angeles — in a real urban center — and the video is Green Day performing. There isn't another single person in it, it's based very much on my interpretation of the lyrics, but it connects to the title of the song, and it plays to the environment of fear that we've created for ourselves. There's a lot of symbolism that I tried to mirror [in the shoot]. I took a lot of influence from Green Day's lyrics and the imagery of [street artist] Banksy. It may not sound like a lot, but it's huge visually. It's gonna be a new experience for a lot of their fans. I mean, it's still Green Day, but it's just bigger.''
