Today we try it the hardcore way. You know all these 'Nothing Else Matters' and 'Unforgiven's that were around in great quantities and probably will come in even bigger numbers in the future. I am personally a bit sick with these ballads, hence I felt a bit relieved to see and hear this video. Fast-paced is not a good word here at all. In fact the speed is so high that the flash player just can't keep up refreshing the frames and you clearly see half-screen blinks (there's a good reason to download the original from animemusicvideos.org).

And there's the authors concept on focusing mainly on gunshots. And sorry, but I just can't imagine a better view than a gun synchronized to music. Like the Hall Scene from the first Matrix - for me it's like a future ballet. For the most of the time there is a loose syncing but that only increases the impact of the almost perfectly synced part where drums are hit hard. Not to mention the vocal which somehow burns everything up into a kind of fireball. Occasionally everything is interrupted by a dynamic guitar solo riff each time accompanied by an effect so good that could make a tiny video of its own.

Somewhere past the half of the clip we slow down. Reload the guns. And strike again even harder. Just to die at an instant with a big bang. Like a proper Gun for Hire would.

Some days it just doesn't pay to be nice.

Hell yeah...
