Metal music videos

[Ender Rises]

Generally suck.
Please post your opinions of various videos you have seen and which ones rate as your favorites and least favorites, with reasons.
And please, no bitching about how bad Headbanger's Ball sucks.
I enjoy the videos for
Cryptopsy -- The Pestilence that Walketh in Darkness
Damageplan -- Breathing New Life and Save Me
Black Label Society -- Suicide Messiah is a pretty good video, as is Stillborn. In This River and Fire It Up fucking suck.
Arch Enemy -- I love We Will Rise, although it has it's cheesy moments
Dragonforce -- Through the Fire and Flames
A few others, I'm too lazy to think of any more.

The video for Strapping Young Lad - Love? is pretty funny if you're an Evil Dead (the movie) fan.

The only recent'ish metal video I can think of that I thought was pretty nice is Madder Mortem - My Name Is Silence. It's not very special, but just not bad (which for a metal video is actually kind of special).

 

[CF87]

Yeah it does.

It would be like starting a thread about b horror movies on the sc-fi channel.

 

[Ender Rises]

Haven't seen the video for Love?, but Zen has a good video.
He's fucking bald!

 

[CAIRATH]

Skullets are metal. \m/

 

[Ender Rises]

Skullets.
They are very metal. \mm/

gah! I didn't know they made a video for that song

*searching*

EDIT: That was a pretty badass video

I agree they usually are pretty crappy. Often it is just the band playing in some dark setting like a factory or a dark room. Or it's them playing live and we see a bunch of sweaty guys in the pit. Not too great.

Some of the concept videos are alright, but some are just dumb.(Lamb of God -- Laid to Rest)

yeah...metal videos with plotlines are like pornos with plotlines...both (most of the time) fail

cradle of filth's videos are pretty cool. the videos have more than just the band playing the song. it also has a story line because every CoF song is a story.

personally, i dont care how metal videos are made. even if its the band playing the song i dont care. i just want more metal music videos to be aired on TV than the amount that played right now so people can have an understand of what metal is other than just guessing that metal is random crap where people make loud noises with their instruments and screaming

They only fail when the idea is bad. And in porn, the ideas are always bad.

Ender do you listen to anything else except for the shit in your sig? There is so much more stuff you could be listening to.

 

[MUSICisLIFE]

i hope so because he would not be someone with a love for metal. that is definately isolating yourself to one band per genre

 

[Ender Rises]

I do, but I don't listen to them much. Hmm... I have a whole bunch of Cannible Corpse, Behemoth, a lot of stuff I haven't listened to. I do need to branch out.

 

[King Richard]

Yes really bad.

 

[Ender Rises]

I just put on Behemoth and I LOVE it!
And it's not all I listen to that's in my sig.

 

[King Richard]

Suuuure

 

[Ender Rises]

Anthrax, Bullet for my Valentine, Lamb of God, Glass Casket, Children of Bodom, Megadeth, Strapping Young Lad, Stratovarius, Trivium...

 

[King Richard]

How about naming something that doesn't make me want to kick in you in the teeth for listening to.
