Synopsis

The video turns the song's rage into a surreal assault on everyday order. Goldie appears in a series of volatile scenes, smashing crockery with a baseball bat and unleashing destruction around him. Noel Gallagher performs amid the chaos, at one point finding himself threatened by a chainsaw. Elsewhere, a disturbing figure in a white suit attacks unsuspecting members of the public. The deliberately excessive imagery mirrors the track's abrasive fusion of drum and bass, distorted guitar, and primal vocals.
