Sillyworld of Stone Sour

.
(PR) Grammy-nominated Stone Sour has just unleashed their latest video for the hit single �Sillyworld,� from the band�s latest RIAA gold-certified Roadrunner Records release, Come What(ever) May. Directed by David Brooks for Factory Features and shot on Jan 9th, 2007, �Sillyworld� is chock full of political commentary. The video will start spinning on MTV2 and Fuse, among other stations, this week.
Aesthetically, �Sillyworld� showcases Stone Sour playing to a shifting background of classic stencil images, as frontman Corey Taylor sings the lyrics �I can�t take your Silly World no more.� The simple, two-toned images and muted colors coupled with the band�s stripped-down wardrobe represent a visual display of the meaning behind the song: Taylor�s feelings on corporations, governments, and icons. Images range from government leaders past and present (including a certain Chinese dictator), to major corporate logos (distinct pair of golden arches) to icons of American life (think Orlando�s favorite mascot). The end result is intended to evoke a strong reaction in the viewer - whether it is one of protest, reflection, anger, disagreement or awakening. As long as a thought process is inspired, the message has been conveyed.
