Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 what? you didn't like the incredibly creepy looking clay Lionel Ritchie head created by the blind chick? Me neither... November Rain isn't horrible, but it is pretty overrated and not very high on my list of favorite GNR songs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 Wasn't there a video where Nas and Puff Daddy reenact the crucifixion of Christ? And "November Rain" is Ocar worthy compared to "Estranged." Why the fuck is Axl swimming with the dolphins at the end? Uggggggggggh. "Estranged" is, however, one of the greatest songs of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Estranged" is, however, one of the greatest songs of all time. "Estranged" is far and away my favorite Guns n' Roses song, and I love the video too. It's so ridiculous.

If so, I'm down with that choice. billy prancing about on stage with the fat drummer trying to be cool is horrible. And the metal elitists will hate me for this one, but Judas Priest's "Heading Out to the Highway" is wretched as well.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 8, 2005 A Ft. Wayne top 40 radio station from my youth took "We Built This City" and added in a bunch of really cheerful quips about Ft. Waste. Somewhere in the first chorus was weatherman Jay Walker saying "It's a beautiful day in the Summit City!" You get the idea. Has this phenomenon spread to any other localities?

Guest ken adams Report post Posted April 8, 2005 You can't say Billy Squire & not mention the "Rock Me Tonight" video. This video is so bad, it single-handedly killed Billy's career. Why? 1) Wearing a Hanoi Jane Fonda work-out outfit, with multiple ripped t's, including a pink one with a shoulder strap that was hanging off his shoulder. A little feminine for metal fans. 2) Rolling around in the sheets on his bed like a woman. Now a LOT feminine for metal fans. 3) Skipping, swinging his feet from side to side, and swing his hands from side to side. Extremely GAY for metal fans. Billy said himself that video killed his career and anyone who sees it will agree with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 I just gotta add Depeche Mode's "Master and Servent" video. I love Depeche Mode, and it's a good song, but the video teaches you that 1.) Martin Gore had one of the worst hairstyles of the 80's. It looked like Will Farrel's in "Zoolander." Oh, and 2.) Dave Gahan should never,I repeat, NEVER dance.

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2005 I saw Menswear's video for 'Sleeping In' the other day. It should be pointed out the their singer was wearing the Libertines-trademarked red legionnaire's jacket. Interesting... It should also be pointed out that Menswear were the most underrated band of the 90's and that one Johnny Dean pout was instantly 10x cooler than the Libertines on their best day. As for videos, it's a cliche due to it's appearance on VH-1's Worst 100 Videos, but "Wired For Sound" by Cliff Richard is a dreadful video. Cliff...rollerskating around Pebble Mill...in a tight leather jacket? Rubbish. Great song though. Also, having just bought Titan AE on DVD, I've just realised Lit's video for "Over My Head" features the worst superimposing onto film footage I've ever seen.

GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2005 Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" -- George Michael is wearing short shorts and doing the Carlton Banks dance. 'Nuff said. MTV had a special hosted by Chris Kattan, Jon Stewart, Denis Leary and Jineane Girrafolo in 1997 or 1998 called "25 Lame". Yes, the one where Vanilla Ice came in to accept his Top 10 ranking for "Ice Ice Baby" by getting to destroy MTV's supposed "Master Tape" of the clip, and ended up destroying the set with a baseball bat. Hands down one of the funniest TV specials I've ever seen. "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" was playing and at this one point George Michael goes to jump and Kattan says "watch out - GAY MAN coming through!". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
