Actually they prey on pre-pubescent children. Ephebophilia is the attraction for those who are under the legal age (16 here) for the country but have gone through puberty.

i'm 25. and i'll be dead long before i'll show up in those old people blue jeans and some buddhist shirt in a music video for a song that blows.
i feel the most pain for those "extras"...they must've had to listen to that song so many times. i'm surprised there wasn't a mass suicide.
My mistake then. The point I was trying to make is to call pining after someone past legal age pedophilia is not accurate at all.
Good job on the video. Liked the song, especially the use of the sitar. I also watched your other band video Someone Elses. Liked it too. Very clever premise for that video.
So, I get it for your 60s 70s Turnback style.
But Im shocked at the number of asinine, arrogant and infantile criticisms your video has gotten by some posters. Good grief .by some of their logic, KISS shouldnt be performing and should give it up.
I mean, hey, theyre just a bunch of old dudes (Gene and Paul are in their 50s) running around with makeup on. Who do they think they are?
And Paul McCartney .my God hes in his 60s. Everyone knows you cant play rock-n-roll in your 60s, right?
Geez.
So, ignore the idiots. Keep doing what you love doing!

To the OP, ignore the trolling haters.
The iPhone isn't the best at capturing good shots at low-light. But this is amazing, the quality coming from a mobile device is outstanding!
Congrats!
Also, that's a nice unique style of music, I like it! And also nice pretty women.

Pedophile? Seriously? Guess plain old 'storytelling' in lyrics no longer exist... And do you ever see us with the dancing girls (btw the extras must have better taste in music than some of these kids because they actually liked the music and even ended up ordering our music from iTunes). And since when does 'little' mean 'young'? Can't 'little Mary' refer to something else? We are lucky not every young person thinks the way some of you do or we really are headed for trouble.
And dude (you know who I'm directing this to), you can only hope to look as good as I do when you're in your 40's.
To those making intelligent comments (even if this video/music isn't your thing)... Thanks.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I kinda of expected SOME haters but unfortunately we cannot change opinions and I my intent was never to do so. But keep in mind what music these kids have been surrounded by... Unless their parents were listening to the types of music I did, they really didn't get exposed (oops, I shouldn't say 'exposed', they may think I'm 'exposing myself' lol) to music that will still be discussed 40 years from now (like The Beatles, The Who, etc.).
Glad you enjoyed the music and video and there is no way that few disturbed children can make me stop doing what I love doing. For God's sake, even my 8 year old and 6 year old act more mature.
OK, I'll tell you what it is. When I wrote the song (about my future wife, who's name is Mary) I originally wanted to write a sort of lullaby. Then realizing how terrifying lullabies really are I decided to take it into a darker area.I wrote with the intent that this woman 'Mary' was dying from an overdose at a club and as she is passing, these things (what is happening in the video) appear in her mind (including her being a young child) and the band is really just telling the story. Of course I usually like to keep my lyrics open for interpretation as well as the video, but... since you asked
Nice work! More of a fan of the music than the video I guess I can say. Still well done and I for one am pretty impressed with the video recording capabilities of the phone.
Nice work on the editing, although personally it may have been a bit overdone. But like I said, that's just me. Great work nonetheless.

I've been exposed to all of that sort of music. Strangely enough, all of those bands who were around in the 60's and 70's look less strange and scary now playing their music than you do, and they are probably 30 years older than you.
I mean, come on...this really?! It literally looks like 50 year old dudes just jumped on stage to relive the 70's or something. So creepy.
There is only one thing sadder than the 3 gentlemen in this image...and that is the drummer's light-up-tipped drumsticks. LOL.

For someone who absolutely hates this, you sure spend a lot of time coming back to this thread. It's creepy to me that you keep lurking around here.
People without social anxiety disorders tend to focus on subjects they enjoy rather than to continuously subject themselves to subjects that irritate them. For your own health and out of respect to the over 3000 viewers that enjoyed the video please move along to something productive. Thank you.

My job requires me to sit at a computer for 7 hours a day, and do 30 minutes of actual work. I have nothing better to do with the other 6 and a half hours...so here I am.

Great. Glad you have time on your hands (I'm sure your boss is happy how you spend your 'spare time') but I'm sure that you can find something else somewhere else that you find positive. Thanks for playing, but I've said my peace with you.

OP makes a music video with his 40-50year old memberes in a night club with smoggy & gross perverted angles & doesnt expect to get flamed.
This whole thing is just gross, weird, pedophile-ish & outright pathetic.
Like do you think your music is seductive?
In a nightclub full of 20 year old women. LOL
Omg it must have been so awkward for those women to do that. Id imagine they laughed & were freaked out after it was all over.

amen.... at least someone agrees with me... he keeps making excuses, its funny how old men dont think its PAEDOPHILIC to be in a video with YOUNG girls, if they are in their 40's these girls are in there 20's ten years ago some of these girls would have been ten, they would have been around 10, your 20 years their senior, 20 for gods sake!!! get some mature women, or is the gaddafi private dancer uniforms not doing it for them?
criticism handled well gets much applause, criticism handled badly get more criticism, on a proffessional level you guys cant handle the fact that people have stated its wrong that your old and these girls are young.... theres a hint there..

Guys, I can take criticism but your points are all in your head. Yes, if the girls were sitting on our laps or shaking their behinds in our face (like most of the videos you are all used to; given your statements I assume your generation y) but we are telling a story. Nothing more, nothing less. I think it's you all that have the issues.
If this is what you've created in your heads then I can't help you.
