Not in any order
Tubes - Talk To Ya Later
I was at the Tulsa State Fair in Oct 1982 and walked by the Tulsa Cable TV
booth where they had MTV previewing. I watched for a couple mintues and
picked up a MTV bumper sticker. This was the first video I ever saw on MTV.
Van Halen - Hot For Teacher
Someone mentoned "Jump" but I like this one better. Proably my favorite
Heavy Metal video. Filmed right at the bands creative peak. Why cant modern
bands stop being so fucking serious and make entertaining videos like this?
Art Of Noise - Close to The Edit
I remember playing this at my college radio station for the first time and
a black freind and DJ who loved rap walked in and asked "whats that
slammin' jam??" (LOL)
Loved the video with the group (?) and the little girl smashing old
instuments in time with the music, I bet it horrified classical music lovers.
Matthew Sweet - Girlfreind
Nice use of Anime.
Motey Crue - Looks That Kill
Love that Pentagram flying off Tommy Lee's drumkit.
Weezer - Buddy Holly
I really enjoy/love all of thier videos, I dont think they made a bad one yet.
Dumb Videos
Sammy Hagar - V.O.A. (or any of his mid 80's solo videos) - Cant stand that
yellow and red jumpsuit
Vinnie Vincent Invasion - cant remember the name of the song. Near the end
of the video, the stage errups with pyro, Vinnie starts to destroy his amps
ala Hendrix by ramming the speakers with his guitar, and then some moron
stuntman WALKS onto the stage in a "full body burn" while all this mayhem
is happening...why???
Chicago - Stay the Night - Just for Pete Cetera's lame breast grabbing
attempt and more pointless stunts.
Hootie and the Blowfish - I Only Wanna be with You - We're famous now, we
play golf!
Manowar - Blow Your Speakers - The real Spinal Tap. The band walks into a
electronics store, puts on thier record and speakers start blowing up. Duh
