A month and a half after Pearl Jam's new single "Mind Your Manners" was released, the track has received its music video. The official clip for the lead single off Pearl Jam's upcoming album "Lightning Bolt" was released on the band's official YouTube channel today.
Beginning with footage from a '50s etiquette video, "Mind Your Manners: quickly turns into a rocking, thrashing music video that perfectly fits with the song's rushed tempo and hard melodies.
Pearl Jam perform in front of a giant screen while animated lightning bolts shoot throughout the video frame. Behind the "Black" band, scenes of violence and terror flash across and cut in to and out of the music video itself. There are images of nuclear bombs, plane crashes, men at war, explosions and burning buildings.
Meanwhile, Pearl Jam performs the song and flash in and out of a retro TV set like the seasoned pros they are.
Full of chaotic, fast-paced instrumentation and intense vocals from lead singer Eddie Vedder, the intense video for "Mind Your Manners" perfectly matches the single.
Watch "Mind Your Manners" below.
