The music video I directed for "The Catalyst" premieres tonight on MTV.com and VH1.com at midnight, EST. When coming up with the idea for the video, I thought of the end of the world. After you have a chance to watch it, let me know what you think. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8!!!! video.... i loved it... It was unique...
I dig the video a lot, I would have only done a few things different, added a little more turmoil with destruction of physical objects. However it looks like you used the powder from the wrestling jello to do the colors which is an amazing idea, the chaos of the smoke, colors cause you to think of the end of the world. Love the high-speed action adds a ton to it. Overall loved it....I say you hold a contest for a fan to help with the design of a video for one of the songs on the new album :D I will be sure to enter!
You want to hear my thoughts.. okay..
(don't worry.. only good things from me..)

I love it.. as I love all of you're videos.
When I first watched it, I thought things were a little out of place..
But when I kept watching it, it made perfect sense..
(basic video with the awesome and very understandable lyrics)..
Yes.. about the world ending, how society is becoming more and more afraid of itself..
violence, crimes, and being killed by firearms.. are becoming the all so unfortunate reality of the world.
The U.S. doesn't have it that bad compared to other countries.. (Colombia) but were still very bad.
I really like Mike's rapping.. "God bless us everyone, we're a broken people living under loaded gun.."
and "For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue, the sins of our father, the sins of our young.. noooo.."
and Chester's line... "like memories in cold decay, transmissions echoing away, far from the world of you and I, where ocean bleed into the sky.."

I mean.. wow I just like the whole song and video.. wow do you make that stuff up?!.. so beautiful..
It's poetry.. I'm not good at poetry.. I just listen and become captivated by others words and creations..

When I listened to the song a couple of times..
I thought of this crazy, awesome, fast paced video.. (with stock-footage)
But it also reminded me a lot of the In The End music video.. and the whole "lift me up, let me go" part..
Well.. I imagined light coming down on the band like out of The Lion King (my fav. Disney movie).. lol
So... the more I thought about how cool that would be.. I could see people would think that could be "anti-christian" whatever.. against people's religion stuff.. so maybe not that idea.. but it was awesome in my mind..

I'm glad you went with this more obvious, understandable, concept..

I like how to match Chester's bubbling, under water voice matches with him singing under water..
Mike looking all bad-ass and sexy in the car.. the colorful dust fight between the members..
the chaotic, rioting, crowd.. just everything.. as usual.. amazing.... =)
It's just everything you want to hear, huh?.. well I guess that's what I'm here for..

LP forever..

<333
it doesn't matter...........because as long as i ever know is LINKIN PARK'S video is always coooooooolllllllll&meanfull
I agree LP videos are awesome always because they are creative and the clip shows what the song is about.
The imagery... is breathtaking... poetry in motion...

The smoke, the ominous atmosphere, the glint of guitars, the crystal water, the interplay between chaos and calm... the haunting crescendo... the band members in sharp relief then fading to nothingness... the bleak despair...

A beautiful conception! Truly epic...
Catalyst is truely great. Something totally else than before. LP crew took this on the whole new level.
If got a question to you guys. When You will be in Poland again? Does the cooperation with Chesław from Świdnica will be so good for You that You will visit us again?
Blew my mind away, the music video is unbelievable and powerful, i had chills running down my spine when I first saw and then again and again, I was so thrilled to see it make number 1 on Kerrang last week you guys rock. And this album is beyond anything I was expecting from you guys, sheer brilliance I say.
woooohoooo linkin park rules
Como sempre não esperava menos que o melhor do LP
na produção do vídeo. ficou muito legal!
Você são sempre criativos, e isso não faltou. Parabéns!
Agora queremos ver os outros!
Sucesso!
I have to say it was the best video so far. It made me feel like I´m in the last moments of destruction, yet believing that from the colorful ashes it will once again rise. Mike resembled an orator and was really cool. Chester was like a kappa as he sang in the watery grave screaming as the voice of the Earth. The wipeout in the end was awesome when everything went to ashes.
The chance between colour to black and white worked. One thing I noticed was that it resembled the message of the song and the album. I hope you make the others linked with this somehow, because the album is unique. It also should go with the theme of it and use same colour or filming style or other that would give a clue that this is from the Thousand Suns and non other. For example make all of them animation or use pastels as colour(yuck).
I´m new in the forum so if you want more opinions feel free to add as a friend.
It was awsome :-)
