Stuck In The 80s: Worst Music Video?

edited September 2013 in The Clubhouse
As I recall, some music videos from the 80s were quite inventive and interesting (or at least they seemed to be at the time). And some....not so much. I had an old dvd I was watching the other day of videos from the 80s and "Obsession" came on from Animotion. Geez. It wasn't pleasant revisiting that one. Anyone got a favourite they remember that they love to...not love?

    They were full of hot looking, ****, beautiful woman at the time. That's a bad thing?

    I was big into hair metal, heavy metal, thrash metal, and punk rock at that time, very little did I not like. It was a very fun time to be a rocker at that time..

    The 90's had some of the best rock bands of our time as well. Today IMO rock is dead, you really have to dig to find some really good metal-rock bands..

    But then again, maybe it's just because I'm older, and don't really care about the happenings of that genre of music these days..

    I'm a lot younger than you Tool but vaguely remember the 80's videos.
    Lots of pretty b!tches,and some women were also in the videos.
    You want current rock look to bands like Seether.They are a 3 piece that rocks hard.Great live hard rock band.Halestorm is damn good live also.
    Of course any radio play stuff doesn't do them justice.
    End of thread jack.

    This is the truth. Now we have bands like Five Finger Death Punch (I wonder how much crack was smoked to come up with that name), Slipknot (*shudder*), pretty much everything played on 106.7 is garbage. I'm sorry brgman but *IMO* this includes Seether. Bands like them only strive to hit no. 1 on the charts and they all have the same generic "sound" in trying to so.

    Back on topic, this video is pretty cheesy. Hence it's funny to get people to watch it unexpectedly.

    Edit: I give you my apologies too, Toolfan. The thing about an opinion is it's the exact opposite of a fact. Not meaning any offense.

    I have all of Seether's CD's, and I saw Haiestorm open up for them once, with Shinedown.. IMO they are not "NEW" rock..

    Oh, and I love Halestorm, she has an incredible voice..

    Me and the wife, have been Seether fans since the first album... NEEDLES!!!

    Wait, what? There is no need for the aggro and unnecessary comments. I didn't say anything rude or inappropriate, I even made it a point to be as nice as I could about my opinion. It would be civil and look better upon yourself if you did the same. Why would I report you, I'd sooner ignore you.

    Tool knows what's on 106.7 because we live only a few miles apart. I was talking to him up until your name was mentioned. Hence I quoted him.

    I actually like FFDP.

    AX7's new album was supposed to be the most anticipated metal album, what a joke, the album is nothing new, everything they do has been done a million times,

    LA Guns + Metallica = AX7

    Nightfall, agreed with KBPI, if it wasn't for older rock and metal, they would be dead...

    You said FFDP and Seether sucked so I wondered what current rock bands you believe are good hard rock.

    It stands as I agreed to Tool with earlier; not much. So much so that I stopped paying attention. I drive a pretty old truck that only has a radio in it so our local hard rock station is my only listenable choice aside from silence and I never hear anything that makes me say "Who's that?!" Really, if I'm going to listen to hard rock, it's older stuff.
