So, I saw the Knights of Cydonia video, and I thought it was completely awesome.  Though that might be due to the fact I'm a fan of shitty 70's western and sci-fi B movies.

In any event, I began to wonder what other sorts of videos I've missed over the years.  I haven't really kept up at all in like, a decade.  All the god damn videos on MTV just consisted of the band jumping around and playing at some random place.  Boring.  So, I figured I'd make a thread where everybody can post their favorite music videos, through the power of youtube or what ever.  I'd really like this not to degenerate into art fag slap fighting over music taste, so please keep that down (though I suppose if the song sucks that will hurt the video a bit).

I'll get it started.  This list is no way inclusive of anything, and only consist of a bunch of random videos I can think of in my drunken stupor, to get things rolling:

Muse - Knights of Cydonia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A):  Absolutly love this video.  But again, might be because I'm a fan of the genre they are spoofing.

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMZwZiU0kKs):  I don't think I need to say anything else  :drill:

Beastie Boys - Sabatoge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sbqIyeed4g):  Classic from my youth.  Along the same lines as Knights of Cydonia really.

Genesis - Land of Confusion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MzShg7yXik):  I loved this when I was a child because of the puppets.  I loved it more when I grew up because of the political commentary, heh.

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqyc37aOqT0):  I also loved this as a child because he does shit thats funny to kids.  Still stands up to time IMO.  Also see:  pretty much every other music video he made.

Cake - The Distance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__PU5CVSegg):  I don't know why, but I always like this one.  Just the reactions that the animals have when he runs by.  But probably just a lot of nostalgia from my youth, heh.

I've always loved these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsBfPhtSWl8 Its like that - Run DMC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asixM7MXg0Q Elvis vs JXL - Little Less Conversation Nike Soccer (glorified commercial, but still awesome)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelfBpwc-Tw Dirty Vegas - Days Go By  :heart:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Az_7U0-cK0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Az_7U0-cK0) Aphex Twin - Come to daddy.  I remember being blown away when I first saw this video on mtv.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA) Bjork - All is full of love.  I like a lot of her videos, but this one is very much my favorite.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8) Tool - Sober.  I can't think of a single Tool video that isn't awesome.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3geoXOdnJQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3geoXOdnJQ) Robert Palmer - Simply Irresistable.  Never cared that much for the song, but those dancers were hot as hell when I was a kid.  :drill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELpmmeT69cE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELpmmeT69cE) Yes - Owner of a lonely heart.  Probably the only video I saw on mtv that weirded me out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOZ6xFxJqg) Men Without Hats - Safety dance.  I don't know why I like this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew) Men At Work - The land down under.  I just thought they were cool cause they were Aussies.  Spent many years wondering what the fuck vegemite was though.  :grin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPT7q825gwI  Wax-Southern California

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CYwNWHZuT0  Green Jello-Little Pig, Little Pig

Because it's awesome. And the video has a midget.

Kanye West - Champion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSBh3F8dm7o)

Bone Thugs - Tha Crossroads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpmr8Shy_UA)

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy - Slow Live Performance. Note all the musicians. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDWMVEEqQ_8)
Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc9nB3Odcq0)
Gnarls Barkley - Going On (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_R9fId_Rqo)
Gnarls Barkley - Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GA3a15xF0c)
Gnarls Barkley - Who's Gonna Save My Soul? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTVSygNKAsg)
Seriously, Gnarls probably does the best stuff ever other than those one-time genius productions like Bjork's It's Oh So Quiet and Dirty Vegas' Days Go By.


And let's not forget to perpetuate the myth that I'm a weaboo.

Eri Nobuchika - Voice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN2-x-RitLo)

Forgot about this.

Hasslehoff - Hooked on a Feeling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJQVlVHsFF8)

Edit: Also...

Peter Schilling - Major Tom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Hs2AQwDgA)

Madonna - Material Girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAcz2tKaSM)
Misfits - Scream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc8EDKkmra8) - Yea yea, I know, no Danzig. Whatever.

Edit: Consolidating posts.

Haha, awesome, thanks.  I saw that video loooong ago on Beavis and Butthead, and always wanted to track it down again (but I had no idea who the fuck did the song or even what it sounded like).

I'd never seen that Knights video so we are even. I love the Col. Wilma Deering outfit she has on at the end.

I still like..

Primus - Winona's Big Brown Beaver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CetPq_pkHc)

Bittersweet Symphony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3m4e45bTo) - most uncreative video that still compels me to watch

GWAR (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjXOpQxL5f0)

School? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jQzzaiP9l4)

And a Classic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO-wAfvIF3s)

Primus also has a pretty cool music video for their version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia (though I defiantly like the original song better than their version):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FRtkek-Et4&feature=related

Also Schild, your right.  Gnarls Barkley makes some pretty awesome videos, thanks for posting those (I really really liked the Smiley Faces video).  And thanks for reminding me about the Hooked on a Feeling video.   :awesome_for_real:

What was the theme with the live performance of Crazy though?  I didn't really understand what the theme of the outfits they wore were suppose to be...

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=FdXryyFw7No  Billy Ocean's Loverboy, B sci-fi video. if you like the Muse knights video you should dig this.

and of course the obligatory Heavy song:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6fbcTRq_Tcg - E Nomine - Schwarze Sonne. The video features Ralf Moller, an ex bodybuilder who appeared in Gladiator and "The Scorpion King" and played Conan the Barbarian in a TV series

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehl_VQuKRTc - Dire Straights - Money for nothing. This was the first real attempt at serious computer animation, its hard to believe. This literally created Computer animation from whole cloth.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k5JkHBC5lDs - Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JgmIjvHR44c - Billy Joel - Uptown girl. All you need to know about why I will never play Westlife on my weekly radio show. I love the dancing in this.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8 - Micheal Jackson - Thriller. The full 13 minute(!) version. Look just watch it ok? Zombies and werewolves will never look the same again...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nL49yZNE4yk - Adele - Hometown Glory. I love the simplicity of this

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HNojQd_ri_o Taize Chanting. Sound quality is crappy but wow I wish I could have been there. I have participated in Gregorian chanting and that was awesome but Taize blows my mind.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GWc6QQ9JlMc Weird Al Yankovick - White and Nerdy. This is actually the first take of Al And Danny Osmond acting the idiot for the real video (which you can see at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw) and the real video is great but I love seeing Al and Danny doing their thing :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSZSxyCtF1M&feature=related
Can you imagine what the video might have been like if they had made one for that song?  Ozark Mountain Daredevils had a great blend of music.

You inspired me to share. This is not a music video so much as a fan montage, but it's from a group that combines my two favorite styles of singing -- Tuuvan throat singing and Bulgarian female choir.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wS3Et4aT4is

EDIT: Another song, performed live:

Weirdest one I've ever seen.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BWBn26bX0 The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp0_vLMrMy8)

Love how cheesy it is.

KISS I Love It Loud! (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=oESjf7xywwY)  One heckuva rock anthem and still a cool video.
ACDC You Shook Me All Night Long (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Bomv-6CJSfM) Probably helped influence my love of girls on bicycles and bulls, plus they rock!
Y&T Summertime Girls (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vhigmNrfEsU&feature=related) OMG! Did we all look that goofy back then?  No wonder each generation makes fun of how the "old man threads."
Billy Idol Dancing With Myself (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=DONbY9wd6vU) Not sure, but I think he saved the world from zombies...still is rocking.
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Crimson & Clover (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=hdhonK8NMm8)  It was 1980 something and she was hot as hell in this video.
REM Furry Happy Monsters (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=zkHM8xG6i8o&feature=related) wish I was stoned when I saw this :)
Kenny Rogers The Gambler (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=kNnrTNFWcsg&feature=related) Jim Henson was a genius.
Biz Markie Just a Friend (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=QJHnRtZkiHo)  My kid hates it when I sing it like him  ;D

Sam Kinison with my theme song of the crazy ass bitches I end up with.... Wild Thing (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SDqXf5dAyGI)  Plus the bands with him rocked!  I miss Sam...

That Y&T video gave me the motivation I need to clean out my closet. 

Second, I love AC/DC.  You never have to guess what any of their songs are about.

I wish other bands "worshipped" Rock as well as they do.  :awesome_for_real:

We Know Something You Don't Know (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YhZt4i92aSA) - DJ Format

You didn't throw out the Sammy Haggar Parachute pants did ya?

(Yes I had a pair, no I didn't have the MJ Jacket)

I'd still sport an MJ jacket, if I could find one (in umm blue).

Personally I love the random cheesiness of just about any flaming lips video (the older the video the better):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd-cGPgbHzw&feature=related - Talking 'bout the Smiling Deathporn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCjr4ZJKdz4&feature=related - Frogs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WU7g8Psq3o&feature=related - Christmas at the Zoo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lEsLcGB7Vo - Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

Little information about the video:
On August 16, 1960 he (Joseph Kittinger) made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m). Towing a small drogue chute for stabilization, he fell for 4 minutes and 36 seconds reaching a maximum speed of 618 mph [1] (988 km/h or 274 m/s) before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled to twice its normal size.[1] He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (4 min), and fastest speed by a human through the atmosphere[2].

 :drill:

I can't believe I forgot this!

Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQQeg3jYgOA)

That video triggered an acid flashback. Ah, Jessica with your enormous fake ta-tas.

A pale imitation of the true master of cheese. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkysjcs5vFU)

Dio is so awesome.

Also: Tenacious D: Master Exploder (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80DtQD5BQ_A)

And: Ozzy Osbourne - Bark At The Moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXko2YCuZa8)

While we're in the business of awsomely cheezy 80s rock:

Fly on the Wall - AC/DC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VINDziuRJYA)

They sure grabbed all the gay dancers they could find for this one!


That's pretty funky. And Paelos is in that one too!


Edit: to add more comments

Schilds completly retarded thread on the best song of the 90's did remind me that I really liked the Tonight Tonight video.  That doesn't excuse the fucking retardedness of the statement he made and how he's trying to justify it, but oh well  :awesome_for_real:.  Figured I'd post it here a long with a bunch of other random 90's videos I was reminded of:

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_f7LF3IiKI).  Amazing video, and a wonderful song (I think).

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaeF00sqW34)  Same as above.  Does this count as a contender Schild (not sure if anybody mentioned it, only skimmed the thread for my sanity)?  Its pretty much exactly along the same lines as Tonight Tonight on everything you named.  Though I think the video came out in 2000, but the song was released with the Californication Album in the 90's.

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrivjzw0RlI&feature=related).  Excellent job with potraying the nostalgia for the time.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqJeWhtpVek).  Just really like the video.  Compliments the song greatly.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn28aGYytxs).  Ditto.

Beck - Where it's at (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uQ9W4KexnA).  Not really the most elebroate video, but I always found it amusing.

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDS83yrM30Y).  Because its awesome, and because its even more hilarious since I've lived in Japan and actually run around the station they filmed the video in.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Rollercoaster of Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-lbIfaqm0U&feature=related).  Because we're on a 90's nostalgia trip.

I'm a big fan of Sabatoge and Flat Beat from Mr. Oizo. Man, those vids are cool.

Ah, Mr. Oizo. Nobody knows him. Cool beans.


Another dude that isn't known enough. Not the greatest vid, but a killer beat just for you Stu. ;)

Roots Manuva - Witness (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDWgtB_MD24)

It's just some random dude who decided to make a video for the song. Not official in any way besides the song itself. However, it is greatness.  :grin:

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92lmcRYy29Q)

"I summon up the power of Banana Clan!" lol that's classic. I hadn't seen it before. Thanks, Stray.

As for the Oizo, fuser beat me to it, although it was probly worth a second link.

The posting of some Rammstein earlier reminded me of this.  I saw this video when I went to Berlin back in my senior year of High School (to visit my sister who was studying abroad).  We turned on German MTV and this is what came on, and (being my first real time out of the country), I was like, wow, these people really are in fact fucking different from us.  Heh:

Rammstein - Sonne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfHlA3fmJG0)

Also a few these other Japanese videos I saw while getting wasted in Japan.  I'm pretty sure now that the bar tender at this bar I saw both these videos at was a member of the Yakuza.  For one, he owned a bar (of which I was told the Yakuza own almost all bars in Japan), had tatoos all over his arm (Tatoos are pretty forbidden in Japanese society, as Yakuza only have them), and he handed my much more partying friend a giant ball of grade A hash one night behind the bar (getting even shit pot for a decent price in Japan is somewhat hard, as they have stricter laws, and my friend said this turned out to be really high end hash, which would be off the wall expensive to just give out).  So maybe their are some fond memories involved, but I liked the videos and the music:

Cro-Magnon - Riding the Storm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1MriqmcMbw)  (I really want to make an animated gif of the begining where evolution goes from the small critter to the pin ball player, as an avatar....)

Cro-Magnon - 逆襲のテーマ (I can't remember WTF that translated to) (http://www.imeem.com/downlow/video/eAE241f3/cromagnon_cromagnons_revenge_mix/)

Also, I just wanted to say thank you for this.  It was suprisingly well done (not to take away from any of the other videos you and everybody else posted, but I thought this one was hilarious, and cool at the same time).

Can I be lazy and just say "Every Radiohead video ever made after their first album" ? Because it's true.

Also:
"Land of Confusion" - Genesis. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MzShg7yXik)
"Hey Boy Hey Girl" - Chemical Brothers. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hHsYOLETqE)
"Smack My Bitch Up" - The Prodigy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu4QlL6LLYg) Make sure you watch this one to the very end.  :grin: Oh, and NWS.


And for the "Well it's not the official video but it should have been" sweepstakes:
"Welcome to the Black Parade" - My Chemical Romance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWbqXXyGvW8). No, really.  :drill:

Almost forgot (a friend said "wtf is this shit" while getting a ride this weekend).

Detroit Grand Pubahs - Sandwiches (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb7JyyNIIM4)

Kyuss - Demon Cleaner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkN1bBVz9Fw)

(http://erikdared.com/images/ab-rise.gif)

Well, its been almost exactly 4 years since this thread died.  Time to resurrect!

I'm really sad the vast majority of links in this thread are broken (you tube has really clamped down on music videos in the last few years, for some weird ass reason).  I'll try to update the ones I posted before to working links.  But here are some new cool videos I found:

Woodkid - Run Boy Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0) - Fun video I think is really neat.  I'm sure people can read all sorts of symbolism into it, but I just like it for what it is.

Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy1dYFGkPUE) - I don't think this was posted in the thread before, but might have missed it.

The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU) - Same thing for this one.

Fair warning, all the Skrillex stuff is very dub step ear rapey electronic, which I know a lot of people here don't like.  I don't mind it, and his music videos are pretty neat:

First Of The Year (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cXDgFwE13g) - This video is awesome yet creeps me the fuck out.

Skrillex - Ruffneck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t2TzJOyops) - Drug abusing Santa Claus fighting people.  Nuff said.

NSFW:
Odd Future "Rella" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN-xq7t6pKw) - This is one of the most random videos I've ever fucking seen, but I loved it.  If anything, you could make about 100 avatars and animated gifs out of it.  Also, again, NSFW.




Oh, and I almost forgot.  There's this Korean video I saw the other day.  Its really funny!  Have any of you seen it yet?

How did I miss this thread back then?! I am also noticing a distressing lack of Hurra Torpedo, but they don't really have music videos, so I guess that's ok.

There are plenty of  :why_so_serious: Hungarian music videos. I'll try to find a few, but for now, have some late 90s: Ranbo 13 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXLMEcJn7mM)
Found one! Johnny Gold aka. the star of grief links in Hungary - A mellizmon túl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1zmgjwmIy4) ("beyond my chest mucles"). You also aren't missing much due to not understanding the lyrics, btw.

e: Usbekistan 4 lyfe (this is actually by a Russian band) Jimmy Jimmy Jippy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N78PdqC_HPM)

Ok, updating Kyuss - Demon Cleaner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Ske2eKX2g)

Mastodon - Deathbound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr9_e4ySRYA) - I love this video so much
Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrkThaBWa5c) - One of my favorite songs of all time
David Lee Roth - Mean Street (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozmwfHFmLoY) - How does someone who can put out something that cool do something like this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olk8rZmlhY4) Oh, Diamond Dave.


Some of my favorite guitar solos to play:
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZiN_NqT-Us) I wish all the cats at the blues jams knew this one - Bonus Corrine version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DznSalRqVBU) love her pipes
Allman Brothers Band - Jessica (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUPNARiJ2zo) The 00s lineup is really my favorite, the 70s and 80s versions are too coked up
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXq4GlHgROQ) Play it like yo mama done died

This thread needs more:
Björk! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKSoBJ8WirE) , Plus it's animated by John Kricfalusi, so double the awesomeness.
Seeed - Aufstehn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6JYzOjglBs) , the perfect Sunday morning song and Ceelo Green makes a cherry-on-top guest appearance.
Lykke Li - I'm good, I'm gone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRFybeuLh54) , seen her live a while back as well and it's one of those shows I'm pretty sure I'll never forget.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Aeroplane (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV8IAOojoAA) , pure youth sentiment. I'm not much of a RHCP fan really and this is definitely one of their kitchiest videos, but it just catapults me right back to my teens and makes me remember the nineties were fucking awesome  :grin:.

Navarro RHCP? FAIL

Television (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o9luZwNSuE) ftw. I think By the Way might now be my favorite RHCP, though BSSM is really the RHCP of the 90s. Never mind, BSSM is one of the best albums ever creatified.

I never understood the hate for Navarro's one album with them.  I enjoyed the heck out of it.  I can totally get it being a different direction than BSSM and earlier though and maybe that turned people off.  Personally I haven't really liked anything they've done since One Hot Minute - Californication and the ones afterwards were played to death on the radio and I just didn't get into them.

Thank you.  Had you not posted that, its a very real possibility that I may have gone my entire life without seeing that video.  And that is a very very sad thought (the other videos you posted are pretty hilarious as well).


I also enjoyed that album (as well as almost everything RHCP has ever done), so don't get the hate on that either.  But in any event, as I mentioned in my original (4 year old post), I want this to be a thread where we post cool music videos.  Not the thread where we argue over what music is good or shitty, and just post songs we like.  We have a music thread for that.

Yeah, Neo used to make some amusing cartoony music videos. Here's another - Persuaders (http://vimeo.com/18009800) (youtube link here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLBv5VSyqaQ) - it's blocked in Hungary, may not be blocked in the US. No idea why, since it's the official channel of the band...)

Also, in order to reach the grief-link quota in this post, I am obligated to mention an example of terrible Hungarian pub music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786ymb-onpk) (dat CGI!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5BrE1Pi5cU     Steve Vai's Bad Horsie, which is one of the very few Vai songs I can enjoy.  What a monster of a riff

That just reminds me of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kod1q39ddE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kod1q39ddE)

I know, I know...no commentary. But Vai bugs me with his rockstar 'rhythm section sit and be boring behind me' nonsense that infuriated me as a bassist.

And to contribute...he had a couple decent tracks on his first albums, The Attitude Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_jMMF6AP28) and Viv Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YAzzdd9dwM).

Though I was more into Yavinkie Amalchuck. Black Star (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blNQZc84Q5c=) Though also another egotistic douche that kept his rhythm section boring for the most part. And of course the Satch Boogie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCGCG_N2b30) was huge.

Sorry, video thread! I always liked the vid for Pantera - This Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tymWpEU8wpM). That band singlehandedly saved the 90s metal scene imo. So glad I got to mosh with them live a couple times (once on that tour).

Just found this 8-bit style vid by accident while searching for memorable Hungarian music videos. Since it's a Ukrainian/German band and their singer is Hungarian (sometimes), it sorta counts.  :awesome_for_real:

RotFront - Sovietoblaster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9NHIHiFtuEI)

Awesome man, keep it up!  These are all great.  I'm being sent to Warsaw for 2 years this January, so I'm happy to catch up on any Eastern European stuff I would have never seen before.  I look forward to TV when I arrive.   :why_so_serious:

I'll also try to find some more cool music videos to post to this thread when I have time.  Alas, I need to go get trashed at an Italians birthday party tomorrow (fun fact, apparently Italians have to pay for all the drinks at their own birthday party).

http://youtu.be/2f1Ny74_ou0

One of the few covers my band played back in the 80s. Our singer would get pissed because we played it much faster :)

They used that metal magic!

I just watched Lars for free, I'm a thief now I guess.  Or has he mellowed?

Fire bad! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIuR5TNyL8Y)

Technically not a 'video', since its just live footage with good editing, I submitt a Buckethead (http://youtu.be/ptKIjo2oLBI) starter video. You don't really need to make a video of him, tho, since its all about the playing. If you like this song, check out "Soothsayer" as one of the most epic instrumental metal songs ever.
