Music video

The music video for "Kids with Guns" features the visuals that were shown during the Demon Days Live show at Manchester Opera House in November 2005. The video is just a slideshow of guns, appearing in red, white and black. Sometimes a "23 mm" sign or a slide of the guns is positioned to make a windmill, representing Noodle's floating island.
