He goes on to explain...
"i had an idea for the josie video, that we would be the
band playing on the deck of an old cruise liner as it sunk. we would play in
real time as everything around us exploded in slow motion. gradually at first,
building in intensity, reaching complete catastrpohe at the end. people
running, sparks flying, superstructure collapsing. the ship floods, and the
last shot of the video is the ship sinking into the dark waters as the song
ends "everything's gonna be fine." the label listened and said "cool,
but no. that video will cost millions of dollars." so the alternative was
us playing in a basement and the pipes break. the room floods and we continue
playing. we shot the video in the backlot of universal studios on a very cold
and long day. i just remember shivering and the water always being shockingly
cold every time we had to get in it. bracing. so cold. the first edit came back
and no one was really feeling it, so we scrapped it and started over."
