94. November Rain - Guns N' Roses - Directed by Andrew Morahan

November 19th 2008 22:48
An epic clip for an epic song.This nine minute extravaganza from directed Andrew Morahan (of Highlander II and The Sorcerer fame) features the filmed wedding of Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose to his then girlfriend Stephanie Seymour. The lavish production values, and outrageous swirling helicopter shots during guitarist Slash's bit solo make for one of the memorable music videos ever (the most requested on MTV) and a truly fitting tribute to the over the top excesses of the late eighties/early nineties (the song and clip came out in 1992). So here it is in all of it's nine minute glory - enjoy.

60. Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads - Directed by David Byrne and Toni Basil

October 31st 2008 01:28

What started off as an avant garde punk art school band turned into one of the world's most loved rock acts. This great song is produced by the legendary Brian Eno and his flourishes can be heard. The clip is almost performance art with Byrne at his best with choreography by Toni Basil (of 'Mickey' fame). Enjoy.

34. One - U2 - Directed by Anton Corbijn

October 10th 2008 07:08
Brilliant song, brilliant clip - dutch master Anton Corbijn makes a clips in his trade mark black and white, one that challenges gender conventions with the band dressed in drag. Set in Berlin and using everything that city has to offer. As a side note the dignified old man in the clip is actually Bono's father. One of my favourites - hope you enjoy!

25. Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel - Directed by Stephen R Johnson and Aardman Animations

October 5th 2008 05:01

This is one of the greatest music videos of all time and one that redefined what you could do. Ever the musical innovator Peter Gabriel got sequences of the music video made using stop motion and claymation animation. The result is something both memorable and a whole lotta fun. As a sid note one of the animators on this clip is Nick Park who went on to do the very brilliant Wallace and Grommit series and the feature film Chicken Run.



Keep coming back for more great music videos, remember you can also use the search function to find stuff that your into and you can always email me requests and suggestions

Guns N' Roses' - Sweet Child O' Mine

August 25th 2006 08:54
Appetite for Destruction was Guns N' Roses' breakthrough album. Beginning with the hit "Welcome to the Jungle", Appetite for Destruction combined elements of glam metal, then-groundbreaking thrash metal bands and classic, anthemic choruses. The album was a #1 American hit and worldwide sales exceeded 25 million. It is an RIAA Certified Diamond Album.

Sweet Child O' Mine was the second single off the album and Guns N' Roses' first No. 1, spending three weeks at the top spot in 1988.
This song is listed on the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" from Guitar World as number thirty-seven, and also came in at number three on Blender's 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born, and at number 196 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In March 2005, Q magazine placed it at number 6 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. The introduction's famous D-flat based riff was also voted number-one riff of all-time by the readers of Total Guitar magazine.

The music video is below.







In the video above the guitar riffs in the middle don't seem right. This one below has them correct, but doesn't have the opening riff! I looked around but couldn't find a perfect video.






Guns N' Roses’ are touring this year. Two days ago their official website was updated for the first time in 4 years. This is a huge development for some Guns N' Roses fans. Their next album, entitled "Chinese Democracy" which has been a work in progress since 1998, is also due out this year some time. Chinese Democracy has been in production for almost nine years at a cost of over thirteen million dollars, making it the most expensive album ever recorded.

Here is a clip of Guns N' Roses' on tour at Bercy in Paris this year. The bands current line up is:
Axl Rose - lead vocals
Robin Finck - lead guitar
Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal - lead guitar
Richard Fortus - rhythm guitar
Tommy Stinson - bass guitar
Brian "Brain" Mantia - drums
Dizzy Reed - keyboards
Chris Pitman - keyboards

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

August 18th 2006 06:20
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the first track and first single from Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind, and is commonly regarded as the song that brought Nirvana and grunge music to the attention of the world. Many consider Smells Like Teen Spirit to be the anthem of the nineties, even, the anthem of a generation. It is also widely considered the definitive Grunge song, and its raging popularity opened the gates for countless other bands of this genre such as Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. It reached #1 for many weeks on charts around the world.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Smells Like Teen Spirit" ninth in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2002, the song was featured in an episode of the SBS documentary series, Impact: Songs That Changed The World.

The music video itself, directed by Samuel Bayer, who would later go on to direct videos for such notable rock acts as Green Day, is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Played Video on MTV Europe.






The demolishing of the set captured in the video was essentially uncontrolled. The extras that filled the bleachers had been forced to stay seated for the entire afternoon of filming, and had sat through uncountable replays of the song. By the time Bayer turned them loose, the set became a scene of chaos.
