THE 69 EYES – 'Dead N Gone' Video Available
December 21, 2009, 14 years ago
Finnish goth n' rollers THE 69 EYES recently finished a successful tour throughout their home country and will be hitting the road in rest of Europe in January 2010. Dates can be found at this location.
After releasing the first video of the latest album 'Back In Blood' back in August this year, the second one for 'Dead N Gone' can now be seen below:
Commented singer Jyrki 69:
"Dead N' Gone is the album's dark pop song. Dark because it's a break-up song and this was the guide line also for the video and its story-line. As we were writing the song I had the Madden brothers (from Good Charlotte) in mind for the backing vocals in the chorus, since we've been friends for a couple of years and it's been in talks to do something like this together one day. Benji Madden came to the studio while we were recording in L.A. and sang all these amazing harmonies on one beautiful Sunday afternoon. As he's part of the song as well, it's natural to have him in the video too - cameos are always cool!As The 69 Eyes started their US tour from San Francisco, I came in to an idea that why not to have the beautiful SF as a background for the video!? I don't remember any video actually filmed in San Francisco! Since making videos with Bam Margera and his team is always so much fun, it was also very natural to have him on board again - this time we just moved the long weekend party activities to Haight Ashbury! The 69 Eyes are the SF vampires here, hippies watch out!
Dark, beautiful song, beautiful city, beautiful couple - this is The 69 Eyes as romantic yet gloomy as you can get!"
The 'Dead N Gone' video was again directed by Bam Margera: "I couldn't be more happy with this new vid, usually I direct but this time I was in it as well. With a friend of mine from SF who looks like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox but better. With the mixture of her gorgeous looks and beauty shots all around SF it was an all win situation! Benji Madden made a cameo as well, which gives it the final touch of a kick ass video!”
