Favorite Music Videos

[Amelia G]

What are some of your favorite music videos of all time?

[Tequila Zaire]

NIN - The Perfect Drug...I've said it before and I'll say it again...about as perfect a video as you can shoot. It's sense of simplicity, color, and design did two things...
1. Showed HOW to do a "dark" or "Goth" video without being silly.

2. Used imagery the way you're suppose to use it...to ADD to the song not distract from it.

David Bowie - " Jump They Say" ...Just flat out cool and deliciously sexy. The sense of color in that video is solid too...way way WAY ahead of its time.

David Bowie - "Miricle Goodnight" ... He was so dead on amazing in terms of his look that I feel in love as a kid. The imagery was like a collectionm of living photographs and mixed with the editing and pace of it...makes it not only infinately watchable but timeless. It just does not age. It was hot then and hot now.

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up....it pissed off Moby and angered many. It was fucking beautiful no matter the critiques.

Paulina Rubio - Y Yo Sigo Aqui...it's a total pop diva video but it has a few great things, vivid colors, weird chemistry overlays, and shot after shot of my future mistress looking as delicious as can be. It's just a solid pop video that was blatently stolen from time and time again.

[Hypnotic Vampire]

'Sonne' by Rammstein....excellent twisted take on Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs (or should that be 'Dwarves' ). They have a lot of good videos actually....

[Kidthorazine]

Bauhaus-Ziggy Stardust
Ramstien-Amerika
Nirvana-Heart Shaped Box
"Weird Al" Yancovich-Smells Like Nirvana

[OliX]

front 242 - headhunter...... firsth that comes on my mind.... I'll write some more later

[pagan]

janes addiction- classic girl
prodigy- smack my bitch up
jonny cash- hurt
metallica-one (hate the band but like that video)
m. manson- coma white, man that you fear
madonna- I don't know the name of the song.....

many others.

[pagan]

almost forgot tool videos..

[Ichigo]

"Jumalten Kaupunki" by Moonsorrow. I mean come on, there's a battle scene between the Christians and pagans, along with a giant mjolnir glowing above the drummer, and all the band members are dressed in chainmail. How can a music video get any better than that?

[ashtray_heart]

y control by the yeah yeah yeahs is cool

i dont really know many others, i dont watch MTV or whatever

The Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
Nick Cave - The Carny

[VoldtaEngler]

Skinny Puppy - Testure
SKinny Puppy - Warlock
Skinny Puppy - Candle
(hey can you tell im a huge SP freak?)

NIN - La mer/Great Below (the one they used in concert only)

[devil13]

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy. best video ever!!!

[KilLAtomiK]

my all time favorite video is Do The Evolution by Pearl Jam, the animation is incredible and goes very well with the song without being the literal meaning of the lyrics . As far as im concerned thats the best music video ever

[Morning Glory]

I want to see the Leftover Crack music video. but I haven't seen it yet.

on a semi-related note, I'm going to use this opportunity to bitch about stuff. im so pissed off. even though it was a long time ago I just found out The Distillers played Muppet NAMBLA- brody singing this song is a travesity and a desecration of a classic! Her voice is like ten times deeper than the Stza's for one, and for two she's a pussy, she has a pussy, and girls can't sing grind. I'm not being sexist, it's just a fact. other than the girl from government satire, whom I think is the same singer from NCV, szta's band in highschool. but she happens to be the most badass chick ever, so that kinda speaks for itself.

[Tequila Zaire]

Well, I was recently surfing some sites and found the greatest video ever.

You may have to click on it a few times to work but it'll work, trust me.

you need to educate your self a bit more their about vocalist,you said Grind ,if your refering to the type of music,than your waaayy wrong there are plenty of great female vocalist out there.......they may be in less then steller band but they are good vocalist......

[tinstar]

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy. best video ever!!!

Other good 'uns....

johnny cash - hurt
revolting cocks - do ya think i'm sexy
rollins band - liar

honorable mention - 50 Cent - In Da Club:
The irony escapes most people that 50 is working out and becoming a superman while singing about going to the club every night... Most people who are "in da club" (at least where I am from) don't come out looking like 50. I would love to re-shoot that video and show a bunch of hot dudes and chicks partying, then when they come out, they are 40 years old with bald heads, fat beer bellies, cottage cheese thighs, saggy boobs, wearing their high school varsity jacket and hauling 3 kids each

what the fuck are you talking about? why should I educate myself about the distillers to learn about grind? the two have nothing to do with each other, that was my point. I think that you need to educate yourself a little bit about it, because when I think about hardcore and grind bands I think about bands like gorilla biscuits and refused and charles bronson and fagatron, whenever you seem to talk about it they are all lame ass metal bands and the kind of shit that they play on MTV2.

i couldn't give a damn about your music, i wasn't talking about your choice in music,I WAS talking about saying that girls can't do "grind" vocals,i've met,done shit with,and seen/heard MANY female "grind"vocalist that were great........

when the fuck do i talk about "lame ass metal bands",when someone says"grindcore" i think of Napalm Death(created it),and stuff like Voltron,The Day Everything Became Nothing,OLD carcass,for fucks sake DuckyGore.......you won't see any of the bands/project on any tv or most even on a cd,soo,maybe you'd like to elaborate on the "mtv2" bands i "always " talk about.........

[Morning Glory]

Napalm Death, for one

[killerkat]

Napalm Death, for one

go on.....that's only one....



and well damn ,anybody that starts a grenre,years down the road there gonna get a lot of play/whatever.......

i'm taking about the "scum" days.......


and i'm sorry ,man,but i don't think you know what "grind" is ,when your talking and "singing" and all poetic and shit,thats NOT grind ,as a matter a fact it's the opposite........

[Morning Glory]

I never said anything about poetry, what are you on. we all know that you consider grind to be blast beats and guys going "rawrr" which happens to be every single band on mtv2, and also, apparently, the defintion for grind, hardcore, and AND metal according to all the kids these days. so have fun with your drum machine.

[killerkat]

i'm done, i refuse to argue with someone who argues just for the sake of it....


and "poetry" i was refering to Refused....(from all i've heard of them)........

[Morning Glory]

ok, well I was pointing out that refused is a hardcore band as opposed to like poison the well, or some tuff guy HXC shit of today. I don't really give a shit about the labels anyways, you can keep your grind, and i'll just call my bands 'power violence' or whatever, since they don't really care about what musical genre their cd's are listed under, they just care about thrashing shit up.

as to my original point, if you can give me some example of female 'grind' vocalists, or anything along that lines, i'd like to hear it, because I haven't heard it. in fact all the bands i've seen with female vocalists other then walls of jericho and a few exceptions, have stpped back and had a male backup singer do the 'growl' parts, which I thought was lame.

Just turn off the sound and laugh your ass off.

Marilyn Manson- tainted love
A Perfect Circle

Exellent choises! Although I'd have to add Bowie's China Girl (although the Bowie Nudity is a plus for me), and I'm afraid of Americans.

Others? Closer by NIN, I Ran by Flock of Seagulls for its retro- aluminum fab-ness, Thriller does indeed deserve props in this thread, and finally, the Foo-Fighters ALWAYS have really entertaining videos.

[tatdownthere]

im goiang to have to think about this! i'nm going to be thinkgin about it for days now.
