Has anyone else noticed that the Transformers parts of the official New Divide music video have been removed? Are there known legal reasons?
AFAIK, there were two versions made of the video. The standard version (which is what you see on YouTube) and the Transformers version. If you'll notice, the standard version still has the glitchy transition effects but it goes straight into other band footage instead of the movie clips they originally transitioned into. The clips aren't just "cut out". I actually have both versions on my harddrive.
It's kinda weird because the official Youtube video used to be the Transformers one. I'm a little shocked myself when I went to the video right now and I'm seeing a completely different one than what I've repeatedly watched when I was younger. I prefer the Transformers version though. Kinda messy and downright crazy like you have no idea what's going on, like the movie.
I did know that the other version existed before. I just found it confusing that they could exchange the version without losing the views.
