Pearl jam-do the evolution

Yes, yes, a hundred times, yes!

Without doubt the greatest music video ever made, especially as before that they hadnt done one since 1992, (Jeremy)

Quote from: Duck SauceWhy do some bands and musicians even have videos? I mean, where do they play them? MTV doesnt really show anything, MTV2 shows what MTV shows only 24 hours a day... Do videos actually get played in other parts of the world? Sometimes it seems like a bunch of money is spent making a video, but who gets to see it? They play it once and thats it.

Considering your people never even heard of Kylie Minogue until last year, you should be aware that there is large market outside the US,. namely the UK, which spreads to germania and down to australia. sheesh. So to answer another one of your increasingly banal questions, some bands make videos cos they don't give a shit what you think.

actually, I was really surprised about music videos here in England. The british students are opsessed w/ american pop stars. They watch a program similar to MTV, but it has numbers you can call and request a certain video, which for a rather large charge, will be automatically played on your screen.
These students love talking about these annoying American pop stars like Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, etc. I got here, and was kind of upset, because no one really listens to the classic southern rock that I pretty much listen to. Doesn't anyone like CCR here? hehe...

That station is called The Box, right?  I lived in Louisiana for a while and there was something incredibly similar.

Yeah, it`s called the Box, but not all us english ppl listen to that stuff, me and loads of ppl i know listen to loads of underground stuff, and the scene here is really strong, if you can find it!

By the way... CCR rock!!!!

Has anyone seen the video for VAST's Pretty When You Cry? I caught it on Sci-Fi's Exposures one time and it was really fucking sweet. It dealt with the retelling of Red Riding Hood a la bondage and sadism.

I've been trying to locate that video and have never had any luck.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

EL__SCORCHO

anyone seen that new Mark Romanek video that he did for Johnny Cash, "Hurt"...I think that's a pretty good video.

I like the one he did for "Criminal" too, Fiona looks sexy, in a child-pornography kind of way.

80's videos are the best.

Devo - Whip It
All Michael Jacksons
Many Madonna's (esp. lucky star)
I can't think of any more off the top of my head. I need to be watching VH1 Classics and go, hey! I remember that video! That video rocks!
The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls
