Comparison:

  • Daytime TV Version
  • Nighttime TV Version
Release: Aug 31, 2012 - Author: sine707 - Translator: DaxRider123
Comparison between the regular daytime version and the extended nighttime version of the music video.

When the song "Black Holse Sun" was released as a single, the music video at first was released in a pretty "unfinished" version which rather seemed to be crude - several special effects were missing, therefore some of the shots were used as "filler".
Later, the complete version of "Black Hole Sun" was given to the TV channels - the censors seemed to think that it was too precarious to show since some of the effects now looked pretty disturbing; as a result, the "finished" version was only shown during nighttime while the "unfinished" version was still aired during daytime (and therefore established itself as the "regular" version).

Runtime of both versions: 5:15 min

There's no difference in time!
General Remarks:
The backgrounds were slightly "polished" and almost all of them now offer clouds.


The band performs in front of dark purple clouds which move from north to south pretty fast. The nighttime-version shows the band in front of calm light blue clouds which move from east to west.
The nighttime-version does show the purple background a few times but never during the verses.
Sometimes the nighttime-version misses out on hills or grass.
