80's Rock Video's Filmed on Stage

[Guest Vern Gagne]

I'm bored.

 

 

The 3 or 4 guys out front singing into the mic at the same time.

 

The guitar and bass player, with their backs to each other making faces.

 

The drummer throwing one of his drumsticks up in the air, and making a face at the camera after he catches it.

[Guest kingkamala]

A scene where the guys are walking through corridors before the show.

 

 

The singer is ALWAYS ripping off David Lee Roth jumping all around like a spazz. Doing splits, the moonwalk and what not. Hell even Paul Stanley tried doing that during KISS's hairband phase.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

The back-to-back guitar plays thing where the guys go as low as they can while the guitarist plays some corny ass solo (see Van Halen).

[Guest JangoFett4Hire]

Don't forget the crowd shots where all the goof balls near the stage shove their faces into the camera as the camera man runs along the stage... and the shot of the girl about to bare her boobs as the camera cuts away

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

And the singer pumping his fist while looking ultra-ghey...

[Guest pochorenella]

I loved those videos.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

The drummer needs to point one of his sticks at the camera before doing some crazy solo or starting back in after a guitar solo........

[Guest redbaron51]

A big 20 foot monster walks along the stage...

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Supermodels that weren't even very attractive is also a must!

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

The bit where all the guitarists (bass included) line up, with one foot on the amps on the front of the stage, and headbang in unison.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

The group shot of the group in the limo, with a bunch of groupies in bikini's or lingerie.

[B. Brian Brunzell]

The shot of everyone in the band with the exception of the drummer dropping to their kness in unison. See "Heaven" by Warrant.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

And the singer pumping his fist while looking ultra-ghey...

[Guest scratch]

A shot of the sweaty lead singer in his dressing room, right after the show, drinking a bottle of Evian and flopping down on his custom-made leopard skin couch.

[Guest Dmann2000]

Shot of the lead singer slapping hands with the greasy masses in the front rows

[Guest redbaron51]

weepy ballads that the lead singer tries to play the piano, while the stage is only lit by candles.

[Guest kingkamala]

Well a lot of them have stand up comedians that are either dead or washed up. Hell Sam Kinison even made a 80's "metal" record back in the day.

[Guest converge241]

what about the explosions?

 

BY GOD THE EXPLOSIONS!!!!

 

and the shots in the crowd of the banners with the band name on em

 

shots of people before the show (usually women as in Ratt's "I Want A Woman")

 

stages getting set up/taken down shown at high speed.

 

The lighters!!!!

 

band members taking control of the camera and filming

[Guest crandamaniac]

Got to have the singer and the guitarist sharing one mic at one time, looking like they're about to kiss

[Guest Vern Gagne]

The lead singer flying over the audience hooked up to a wire. (Bon Jovi, and Van Halen)

[Guest kingkamala]

A lot of bands hair bands made videos with an authority figure disgusted by there music ends up enjoying and doing some kind of kooky old white guy dance.
