music videos

[gazgiz]

was this thread done before? it is kinda like the classic movie thread but with videos instead. i've seen many over the years that i liked for whatever reasons. what are some of the others out there? new and old?

off the top of my head here are some...

chemical brothers - hey boy, hey girl
prince - purple rain (i was dazzled with the camera & prince)
fatboy slim - ugh...i can't recall the title right now but the one with christopher walken dancing
rabbit in headlights by someone i can't recall either...but it's a freaky video
micheal jackson - thriller
tricky feat. ed from live - evolution revolution cause i thought the concept was cool.

 

[SUNKIST]

the only music video that makes me say.."hey., have you seen that video?" is "slap my bitch up"...its awesome.

but besides that, i think music videos are a waste of money.

 

[teknikal]

it's a hell of a promo tool.

[Syntax Error]

windowlicker is definitely one of my favourites, the 10 minute long unedited version! i also like pretty much any video by tool. southbound pachydern by primus is cool as well.

I was obsessed with Sober for a long time. I have it on tape... in fact, I've taped it off the tv on A LOT of random tapes...

 

[OTIS]

I'm with Syntax, any video by tool is amazing in many ways.. especially since the band produces the videos themselves.. I think Maynard was an ex-special FX artist for films.

I like the video for Sun+Moon=Tomorrow by Ivana Santilli, maybe because it was filmed at System and it gives it a familiar feel.
