Now this is for me the best video I have ever seen, not the best song, But this works on so many levels, it's so clever, so smart so much goodly video.
Don't want to see the best song you ever listened to, or video, what I want is something like this. Lay on Macduff...

youtube tags don't work annoying.

This has been my favorite since the first time I saw it. Just watch it. I can't even explain why it's so awesome. I went with Vevo for the good quality. If you don't have it already, get noscript (addon) for either FF or chrome and you can control scripts like the Vevo one overlaid onto the youtube videos. Simple.

This one isn't my fav because it's good. It's because it's so, so overdone and ridiculous for such a relatively unpopular song in Bush's career.

Someone will invariably say this (and with good reason). Let's get the 1080p one obviously.

That video rocks.

Do you know what he says at the end?

Props for Korn et al too. :)



Will take your Korn and raise you a SOAD. :)



Like this video too, although not seen much from them since. Most likely because they are not on MTV or many radio stations rather than they blow. :)

Feel good video:

Yeah I know but you have to say its a damn fine video and or song. :)

Certianly not even the best Prodigy video but none the less a classic video.



The Bass is just so dirty it's positiviely filthy. As well as being a great live performance.

I saw them do No One Knows at The Ozzfest with Dave Grohl on drums, but unfortunately my brain is not wi fi compatable so this will have to do:



Saw Ozzy and Tony Iommi doing classic Black Sabbath too but again no blue teeth/wifi. ;)

Insert obvious joke here

Watching grown men cry is I think a little bit what's the word? Ghey? Or is that gay?

Is that what you got from the video? Really?

At first, you see several people crying, some of them hysterically. Then, towards the end of the video, you see that that they are crying for the stupidest reasons possible. One has a stain on a shirt, another one is crying because his his sports team is loosing, the other guy is crying because his groceries bag fell to the ground and there's also a support group in the middle of all this. Pretty interesting statement about how we allow the little things to affects us.

I never got that far, kinda wierded out long before then. Point taken though, yes that is quite a good idea.

This isn't the best song in the world btw, it's just a tribute.



Tongue in cheek, and lets face it anything with Dave Grohl in it is just going to be awesome. :)

Speaking of which this makes me laugh too:



"How about the power to move you?"

:lol:

Not the best song of all time, the video certainly could be better but...

So cool I loved the expression on the Gecko's face. But then I am a cynic. :)




I love this video, and I am a rocker, I just love it because to sing that good live, is just once in a life time. I'm if nothing impressed by just, well wow. Honestly I have not seen anyone who can sing that well in Britain you've got x, or whatever. I was blown away. Incidentally she is 52 years old in that video, if you can do that at 52 good luck to you.

Oh and by the way that drummer is shit hot too. Anyone who ever tried to learn how to play drums knows what I am talking about that shit is not easy, what he does is not easy.

Back to Rock.

Metallica before they kinda went all mainstream and pre the lead singers death due to poverty/starvation etc and the resultant breakdown and tragic death of Lars Ulric who took to begging and or selling his body for alcohol and drugs due to the loss of revenue caused by internet piracy. They will be sorely missed.

A very disturbing film and video, but very insightful none the less, raising questions about democracy, war and euthanasia.

Just for the video. The song is catchy, and I hate to admit I like it, but the video made me LMAO.



I don't know who wrote the song, I don't care but whoever thought of that video is a certified genius. :)

I just keep watching it, because it makes me laugh so hard. Just love it. Kudos to wit and talent, there's little else that matters, so why not congratulate the sublime rather than the meticulous. :P
