WASP is a blessing. I LOVE videos where the band is just randomly performing in the desert and seems totally comfortable and natural while doing it.

Does anyone want to loan me $299? Sawblade Gauntlets

No?

Seriously, I think this must be the quintessential metal video, which might be a slightly different thing than what you were looking for, Diana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kSvN1dQjxc

At least, the quintessential video from the '80's. It was so much everything that RATT and Poison weren't.

I like these kids. They make me nostalgic while also brutally pointing out that I'm old enough to be their grandma. That shit hurts my feelings.

The chain link fence was a definite staple of 80s videos. And our dark horse candidate with his acoustic guitar is impressive.

But LASERS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. FUCK YES. And also the unrelated psuedo sub-plot of Charlie Chaplin taking radiation samples or whatever the hell he's doing. Until his head BLOWS OFF. Well done, Priest.

Sorry about this, Knucklehead, but you invoked them:

Two things:

(a) why does Halford look drunk?
(2) why do the guys pants fall off -- after his head has blown up?

Rats. I mean, shit.

Bonus points for Uncle Miltie in drag. What a bizarre crossing of paths. Since I bothered replying, I think this is an appropriate Krokus moment. No aging television pioneers, but I always thought the guy in the helmet looked like Luciano Pavarotti. This thread is crackin' me up.

I assumed that you picked this one. I never understood that other video. Just what is going on there?

Yea, this is bringing back some memories all not good though, hahahaha! Great video and song MS. I remember blasting that cassette in my 72 Monte Carlo! Here is one, the swordmaster:

P.S. Hey Knuck, check your messages!

FINALLY some Dio up in this bitch. Good things come in very small packages.

Speaking of packages, my man in Krokus should have stopped at 12 rolled up tube socks. Shit is scandalous. Bonus points for the sparkly Zul super-hottie at the end.

But the real magic here is Krokus's unique apocalyptic Stargate vision featuring a tyrannical leader, cartoon lightning and flash pots. Sheer genius.

What happened to the apocalypse? Do we just not care any more?

My. At first, I thought that was going to be cheesy, but it was actually kind of impressive. I was really surprised that they pulled the guitar solos off. Having said all that, I'll probably never watch that again.

On a side note, German pronunciations of English words crack me up -- "buh TAR ee, buh TAR ee". I saw Immortal in Germany last year, and the crowd kept chanting "EE MORE TALL! EE MORE TALL!" I was cracking up on the inside and trying desperately not to show it. Teutonic wrath and all that.

I love how the Germans just mash a bunch of words together to make new ones. I have a I_LOVE_ZUCKERPENIS friend in Germany and I'm always going, "Look Timo, what the hell does this mean?" Sometimes he can't even tell me.
