I think that they're rather similar. First videos for two new resurrected artists. It's cool when new bands or artists coming off of break ups to do videos that show who the artists are and that's it. Look at Audioslave's "Cochise" video (which is better than "Open Your Eyes" and "The Great Divide" by the way... but essentially the same type of video). It's obvious that they wanted to show the merging of Chris Cornell and 3/4 of Rage Against the Machine. Velvet Revolver did basically the same thing. There's plenty of time for videos with storylines. I'm sure both videos have rather hidden symbols if you look closely.
