Speaking of which, I usaually don't care for many music videos, but 
really liked their video for "Deathbed (Na Na Na)" from Parallel 
Universe, especially Cliff's solo. It looks like they were having fun 
making it too :

Great tune too!

I reply:

We had a great time making the video! If you buy the DVD, there's an 
entire "making of" section that's a lot of fun (I'm not on the DVD, but 
I'm the very last production assistant credit at the very end of the 
program.) If memory serves, there were 2 main locations and most of the 
shooting was done over 3 very long and very hot days (each end-of-summer 
work day lasted about 14 hours) . Cliff was playing along live (but 
unplugged) to the audio that I was cueing up for the shots on the day we 
shot his solo. He nailed it pretty quickly. Even Dave was banging away 
live, playing along to the song blasting out of the PA. Jon Faye did all 
the real work though, doing take after take after take getting 
everything *just right*. He had to sing, play, act, react and hit all 
the cues. I was mopping the sweat from his face constantly. It's not as 
easy as it looks, that's for sure. My favorite personal moment can be 
seen starting at 1:52 in the video. The moment called for Jon to be 
"ruminating" while chewing a piece of gum. No one on the entire crew had 
a single piece of gum, and "faking it" just wasn't working. I was 
chewing a piece of gum and jokingly offered it up to Jon. Yup, he's 
chewing "pre-chewed" gum in that scene. Gross, but true. Sweat-mopping 
and used gum chewing: it's all so glamorous!

P.S. That's the enormously talented Derek Forman of Omnisoul (now The 
Crash Motive) playing Kane in the video.
