    very cool. Sorry to be a geek but wouldn't the lever of the grenade spring off when she pulls the split pin out?
  • Jason Simpson plus 2 years ago
    Yeah, I guess they didn't do any research on how grenades work... pretty sure the lever is spring loaded and would have flown off immediately.
  • Joe Feng 2 years ago
    Yeah...that's pretty geek.
  • The Upthink Lab plus 2 years ago
    Ha! That was my first thought as well.
  • and those who held real granades (as I did :)) would say that you'll pull out your front teeths first than tear out the ring. you need much more power for that, BUT ANYWAYS great video good idea, and good luck metal on metal, my friends ;)
  • Robert Grimboli 2 years ago
    Depends what model of grenade and where it's from. Some of the earlier grenades ww1 the lever stayed attached and just the trigger was spring fired. I reckon it looks cooler with the handle on anyway, like how it makes the grenade roll and tumble off the table. I can't tell which model grenade it is modelled off, looks like a few mixed together.
  • Anders Hattne 2 years ago
    That was my thought as well, but I guess it's worse when they shoot bullets and you see the bullet with cartridge and everything shooting out of the barrel!!
    .....I wonder whether the idea was derived from that Beavis and Butthead episode.
    Well executed though! ;-)
  • Nik Skavinsky plus 2 years ago
    that was a grenade, designed special for this event.
    That's simple!

    Absolute love it. What about the soundtrack? Fantastic? What's the name of the band?
  • Jason Simpson plus 2 years ago
    Check the title:

    Metal on Metal "BASTARD"

    Assuming "Metal on Metal" is the band and "BASTARD" is the song title.

  • decay79 2 years ago
    Yep the lever should spring off. It was irritating me while watching the video. But other than that it's good.

  • RENATO MARQUES plus 2 years ago
    me too
  • Jonas Funk 2 years ago
    I thought one of the players would lop the grenade over the plexiglass screen in the end.
  • Jens Scholz 2 years ago
    me too. would have been a satisfying finish.

    Totally was hoping to see them explode.
  • !Rocky 2 years ago
    Yep, definitely.
  • Herrjaapmans 2 years ago
    Seen "The deer hunter" yesterday, so, still a little shaky. Then this video doesn't seem very nice...

  • Shane 2 years ago
    Holy F. That was wickedly sick. The blood lust in the eyes of the prim and proper's in the crowd. Too bad their hands/attire never gets dirty!

    This is absolutely my new Vimeo fave. The Glue Society definitely lives on the creative edge!!!

  • Dean Spleen 2 years ago
    the interesting thing... and I don't know if that's what everyone else is saying is so "cool"... but if you watched this clip to the end, you are in effect, just as complicit in the violence and as ugly as the dudes in black ties.

    That's what's cool. It askes you to make a choice.

    So did you watch to the end?

    If so, the glue society just sucked you into sitting behind the glass, just like you are now... once removed from the mayhem but still with blood on your hands.

    This shouldn't be on vimeo.

    It should be in MOMA.
  • Joe Walsh 2 years ago
    Very good observation about the video's intent. However, I would like to claim that vimeo is a MOMA of sorts.

  • Darren Ralph 2 years ago
    that's interesting Mr. Spleen. your comment is based on the assumption that everybody knows what is going to happen in the end. so the twist here is there's no twist. v. clever. so post modern. personally i would have liked the grenade to squirt off the edge of the bat and fly into the air over the protective glass and into the ugly black tie dudes. our grotesque fascination coming back to bite us and making a much bigger mess.
  • Pietro Impagliazzo 2 years ago
    That's what people say to every portrayal of violence nowadays.

    Just add this "guilty observer that is in fact the viewer" analogy and it becomes something profound.
