Speaking of *good* videos....

[DemonJames]

Meh. My favorite video brings out a different emotion:

Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due

I was absolutely floored the first time I saw it.

Yeah, it was pretty ironic that the video was release during Operation: Desert Shield, not too long before the Operation: Desert Storm (A.K.A. The First Gulf War).

Can anyone possibly help me with a different song and video? I believe its from the 80's - and I want to say it was Phil Collins or Genesis, but I can't be sure. I believe it was more a ballad type song, with one scene being of a green hill outside and the guy singing, and there also being a choir with white gowns singing in the video as well. I cannot for the love of me remember it though... Might be too vague a description, but I was so young...

It wouldn't be this one, would it?

That Whitesnake video with Tawny Kitaen sliding all over the hood of those cars. I don't remember the song, I just remeber Tawny in that thin white veil of a "dress". The year was 1987, I was seventeen, and puberty was in full stride.

Song might have been, "Here I go again."

Here it is.

 

[The Fiddler]

Here it is.

Thanks - just found it. I'll have to watch it again.

you have to check this video out, some of you might recognize certain people in it or you maybe in it.

I told them they should do it again, but they said "Nahh, it wouldn't be near as cool if we repeated it. No spontaneity."

Of course, they could just be saying that to lull us all into a true sense of security.

 

[Nightmare1z]

Nah, that's not the one. I can't remember exactly but I believe the main singer sang part of the video in a dark church type setting as well. Damn I wished I could be more specific, but I only remember certain parts and I loved the song... But I was like 6...

It wouldn't be this one, would it?

Even though I'm not typically a fan of cover tunes, I thought Voivod's video for "Astronomy Domine" was a good compliment to the song:

Non-Metal Alert, LOL!

Ok - time for another laugh from many, if not most, of you....but I loved this vid the first time I saw it and it left an indelible impression...certainly since this came out in what, 1983?....Russell Mulcahy sure knew his stuff...

Hate to break the 'only one' rule, but here is the runner-up that has stuck with me over the past fifteen years...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuqFBYFETDY&search=chris%20isaak

One that didn't make the cut, LOL, is The Cure - Just Like Heaven. Despite being one of my "top 10 tunes of all time", the video just wasn't anything very special...ah well!

Cheers!

This is too close to call for me, but if I have to pick one, it was Savatage's "When the Crowds are Gone". Sava is by far my fav band and IMO, their vids sucked Big Green Dinosaur dicks. Except this one. It's a little bit cheesy, but like many of their masterpieces (I'm talking audio!!), it seems to be the band pre-writing Criss Oliva's (RIP) epitaph. It's eerie to see the end when the song is screaming "Turn 'em on again, Turn 'em on again..." and Criss is stabbing the neck of his white Charvel into the piano repeatedly; it gives me the fucking creeps. It was Criss that brought an idea Paul had to fruition - it became known as STREETS.

A real close second for me is "November Rain" - Gunners.

Peace,
Chris

I'm afraid that the "classic" era of Billie Joe is long gone. Like Elton John, he recorded some of the greatest songs ever back in the late 70s/early 80's before he went to shit (and hit it big) with Uptown Girl, etc. He has redeemed himself lately, but there are no Iraq songs in his catalog. Btw, if you want more goosebumps, go back to the video on You Tube. Click on the 4/16/06 bootleg video of the song on the right column which has current Marines performing the chorus and check out the reaction the crowd gives them. It's awesome.

As for brushing up on Billy Joel, there are dozens of amazing songs. I would suggest hitting I-tunes & checking out the following tunes to get a good impression of his bigger hits:

My Life
New York State of Mind
Goodnight Saigon
Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
Allentown
Pressure
Only the Good Die Young
Just the Way You Are
Scenes from an Italian Restuarant
Piano Man

Glenn H.

"Only The Good Die Young" fucking rocks!!
"I'd rather live with the Sinners than die with the Saints
The Sinners are much more fun..."
