ludurigan Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 South African Jordy Smith, ranked 2nd best surfer in the workd in 2016 has just released a brand new surf movie titled JUST NOW with some stunning cinematography. The film shows Jordan surfing in some of the best waves in the planet including Namibia, Cape Town and Hawaii. Jordan uses Guns n' Roses recording of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" on one of the best segments of the movie. Song is great, but the song choice is not so great. One can actually say that Jordy (or whoever directed/edited the movie) misused the song. How come? Its kinda simple. The problem is that the song is played on a segment of the movie that shows Jordy surfing at Jeffrey's Bay, a.k.a. "J Bay", in South Africa. J Bay is one of the best -- and one of the fastest -- waves in the world. Had Jordy asked anyone on this forum, its likely that he would have been advised to use a "faster" GNR song on this particular segment of the movie. Well, at least I would. The music really doesnt sinc with the footage (and vice-versa) Except at the odd scene in slow motion Anyway, the man seems to like his rock n roll... Movie is fun to watch... Film is on the link below. The "J Bay" segment starts at 8m25s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 The songs fine, it's the editing that's bad and messing up the pacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Song works, the music shows the relaxed attitude needed to tame something so violent while the lyrics portray the dangers of this hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's killer, i hope the surfer guy sorted the rights to have KOHD on his video because they didn't with the skate vid and it was changed to a David Bowie song. The It's so Easy DVD version is abit of a collectors item. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(fuck i have been so long without listening to appetite that it gave me the chills to listen to this. fucking best band ever. hope they get back some day ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Awesome! But honestly I think I would jinx myself if I played "Knocking on Heaven's door" while doing any kind of sport. I mean I really don't want to die doing it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
