Hi everyone! I've been looking for an old music video that was available on YouTube back in 2015. It was a music video of the song "Methamphetamines". The scenes were rapidly changing, I remember there were a lot of short clips where people snorted white powder, funny scenes about drug prevention, a scene of Kurt Cobain and a few scenes from the UK series called "Skins" with Kaya Scodelario. I think there was also a scene in which Kirsten Dunst was sadly smoking a cigarette. I've been looking for this music video for years. Is it available anywhere?

This page has the only legitimate music video for Methamphetamines; I don’t remember the specific scenes you’re referring to but this should be what you’re looking for

Hello guys, sometimes I wonder abt some random Lana stuff and I wanted to know what  is you guys opinion. 
 

1) If black beauty didn’t leak, would everything be different today?

 

2)is Jimmy a real person or just a name she uses for her exes in general?

 

3) what’s the story behind fine china?

 

4) who’s bill and did she married him? There’s an unleaked song where she mentions marrying a man named bill. Is bill a good guitarist? 

5)is lana ungrateful when it comes to David Kahne? 
 

just curious on you guys thoughts

Black beauty leaking led to her changing the record, so yes probably UV would’ve had 3/4 different tracks if it hadn’t leaked.

 

Jimmy is most likely an alias for her exes
 

the rest i don’t really know 

[Veinsineon 77,835]

Probably not

 

probably not

 

i think we’ve talked about fine China having something to do with the actress Lana used to be friends with , Jamie.

 

 

bill could probably be her executive love she layed down when still on five point 

 

 

maybe just a little

 

[keps2013 4,907]

1. yeah i agree, esp since it’s one of the rare moments lana got upset at a leak

3. idk

I think you're 100% right

 

I think black beauty not leaking wouldn't have much effect on her overall career but it would definitely have changed the culture around her unreleased music

1. Probably not because I think the record would still be overhauled by Dan at some point so it would have changed again 

 

2. I think Jim is just a name she uses for her exs but I think she could have dated a Jim/Jimmy at some point. Idk why but I think she got it from Jim Morrison or Jim Jones

 

3. I think she was really close to marrying Barry when she had to break it off and around that time Jaime King had her first child. I think she just dramatized the whole story 

 

4. I think Bill is Barry and idk what era that song is from, but it wouldn’t shock me if around the Tropico/Ultraviolence era Lana referred to Barry as her husband

 

5. Yes and idk why because he did her a huge favor lmao…unless we don’t know a huge chunk of the story

I could only answer 1-3

 

1) In my opinion, yes everything would have been different in the Ultraviolence album and that whole Ultraviolence era, because she would have placed it in the album if no one had leaked the song early. And if that happens, then one of the Ultraviolence outtakes, ones that we know of and have, ones that we don't know of and don't have or ones that got revealed and we just don't know much about them, would have taken Black Beauty's spot on the Deluxe album. Or it can be either the bonus tracks "Flipside" and "Is This Happines".

 

2) In my opinion, I think its a real person that she probably was attached to for a long time....because you can't look at someone name "Peter" and say the name Jimmy in your song. Unless Jimmy is Peter's nick name or middle name then that changes, but everyone has different names. It would be kinda off if she had to call every past guy she dated Jimmy tbh. 

 

3) Based on the song itself. Fine China is about Lana preparing for the day of her wedding with (assuming it's Barrie James O Neill cuz that's who she was dating at the time), in the song it sounds as if she used to live with him, she had her collections, her fine china, her fresh linen in the place/house they stayed at together. It's either her and her man (assuming Barrie) had a fight and decided to break off the wedding or they had a mutual break up. I think one of the things that she talked about in the song which is "I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they? They said that love was enough, but it wasn't" alludes to materialistic objects and money coming in the way of their relationship hence the fine china, fresh linen etc etc. And well she was devastated about the entire situation that she was asking herself in the song why do I have to experience horrible situations like this in life.

 

But I have three questions for you though,

 

1. What's the relationship story between her and Francesco Carrozini?

 

2. What is the story and meaning behind the song Dead To Me?

 

3. The unleaked song she mentioned marrying Bill which era is that from? is it an Ultraviolence outtake?

i dont think everything would be different, but ultraviolence would be completely different i think

i think the song leaking really changed the direction of the album, would maybe lead to the conclusion of releasing other songs on uv such as angels forever . when it leaked she said that it was for her second album which would be more spiritual, so i think the album would be more sonically similar to the old money demo, guns and roses, songs like that

Does Serene Queen have sessions that were missing? Since one whole session leaked few months ago?

[Dark Angel 203,501]

she's been talking about a man named bill in her music since 2007, at some point she mentioned to a fan that she used to live in alabama with a boyfriend named bill in 2008, in the lanalysis thread, we discussed it and theorized when she knew that person, among other things, and it seems like she knew him in way back in 2005

just curious on you guys thoughts 

 

 

1.) I was gonna say mostly yes, but then I realized that the entire LFL album leaked in full yet still became a successful album and didn't affect anything (at least what I know of). I was also gonna say that if it didn't leak, Ultraviolence might've not been reworked. But at the same time, it was bound to change as she already changed the album concept before (Tropico). But like Waimea Bay said, it definitely changed the culture around her unreleased songs.

 

2.) Jimmy is honestly still a mystery; He might be real, he might be a fictitious character. I've heard a lot of people say a lot of things abt the whole Jimmy thing. Some examples I've heard is that she's singing about Jim Morrison, Jim Jones, etc., that he's a personification of Lana's alcoholism, and a bunch of other things. Personally, I believe that he's a fictional character that exists in her songwriting world that is based off of an amalgamation of real people, like her exes, Jim Morrison, Jim Jones, and that one Jim guy from the cult she joined.

 

3.) Based from what I read, Fine China is about the whole Jaime King situation. I don't know the exact details, but all I know is that it's about that.

 

4.) Same thing with Jimmy. 

 

5.) Yes, especially with what David Kahne said in that one email someone here sent him a while ago ( I forgot who). I don't know why she's so ungrateful when his production absolutely eats up Jack Antonflop's lazy, half-done, recycled production
