This is the Red Line to: A really bad music video.

So, this is rare. Well, rare in the sense that I'm pretty much going to rag on a band that I used to be completely obsessed with.

Some how I came across Metro Station's buzznet page (I think I was looking at other pages and one link lead to another) and I was looking at pictures of the new 'Kelsey' video. My frist thought was "Wait, didn't they already make a video for Kelsey?" Yes, they did. But it was absolute shit. I mean it. The fact that it was low budget is VERY obvious.

Anyways, I wanted to actually see if they had the video posted, and voila! It was released yesterday. So I watch.

It stated off fine. The scenes change with the beat of the intro, and soon you see the guys and whatever. My first thought was, "Oh, wonderful. Another Trace centered video. Great." I mean after Control (where he is making out with every other girl), then Wish We Were Older (Okay, can I say CREEPY! I mean, I don't have pictures of Jack Barakat from All Time Low taped to my mirror, no matter how attractive I think he is) and Seventeen Forever (And more importantly, how the entire cast of Hannah Montana was in that one.), what was I honestly supposed to think? Frankly, I was sort of refreshed to see Mason was catching a break.

Anyways... It's a masquerade ball and the guys are there (of course! I mean, Why not?...) and Mason catches the eye of this blonde girl in the gold dress who, (Dun, dun, dun) already has a boyfriend.

For some reason or another, Trace seems to tell Mason to go ahead and go for the chick with the boyfriend... Okay...

So the music video goes on. There are girls, dancing, more girls, Trace looking rediculous and some bad acting. We see the girl again, she's looking extremely bored (Director: "We'll give you another grand if you can look even more uninterested!") with her boyfriend/date and then she runs into a few friends. I guess something about the chick having friends makes the guys storm off... Okay...

The friends put a blindfold on the chick in gold, she laughs as they spin her around. Yadda yadda yadda. She bumps into Mason, where she takes off the blindfold, sees Mason and then gives him a kiss before grabbing him and taking him with her. (I think we call that cheating?)

A few lyrics and a completely cheesy running through the hall shot of them later, they are soon outside in some back alley (we can assume) making out. Like, I don't know if anyone else caught it, but Mason's lips are completely swollen! The shot is dark, but his lips are really red when he pulls away.

And, oh yeah, he pulls away because said boyfriend walks in on this (it baffles me when the girl is shocked. I mean, are you serious?) make out session. (This was really soft core porn. Mason was kissing, I guess we can say Kelsey's, neck!)

Kelsey and Boyfriend have a small tift. Then Mason comes in after Kelsey leaves and Boyfriend wasn't to have Mason's head for dinner (frankly, I don't blame him. Mason knew what he was doing). And to be honest, Boyfriend could have HAD Mason's head for dinner. Mason pushes through and follows Kelsey to the grand stairs or whatever.

And this is where I become utterly lost.

Mason is trying to reason with Kelsey, who is sobbing and "not letting him in" (Hahaha. See, it's part of the song. 'You never, ever let me in'? Haha... Get it...?). And then Boyfriend shows up and Kelsey goes back to him! I mean, why the hell were you making out with Mason if you are literally running back to Boyfriend? You don't look incredibly bright to begin with, but really?

Basically, I thought it was total crap. Not even cute. There isn't anything cute about it. It's your classic music video sinario and it's stupid.

I honestly think that the low budget Kelsey video that I called a piece of shit, because it is, was a lot better. I don't know, that's my opinion. And I hate Mason's hair now.

I cringe when I think about how much I used to be obsessed with Metro Station. They were my first concert (The Really Really Rediculously Good Looking Tour. Cobra Starship with Metro Station, We the Kings and The Cab. It was March of 2008) and I distinctly remember telling my dad on the way home from the 9:30 Club that I was going to marry Trace Cyrus (Oh, how so many things have changes since then...).

I'm not even going to get started on Trace Cyrus. I won't rag on him and connect him to the Cyrus family. I think they're a disaster in themselves. But I think Trace went from looking acceptable to just looking plain rediculous. He used to be cute. He isn't anymore.

When I liked Trace Cyrus:

Trace Cyrus now:

You can't see the little feather he has tattooed to his face (Yes, I did say feather tattooed to his face). But still, thanks, but no thanks...

I do think that Metro Station is some what original as a band. They're catchy and they've mixed rock and electronic well. And they're not bad to see live. But if you miss them at a show, don't kick yourself.
