Cool Song, Shit Video

[cojo965]

Wow, that was bad. To start off, for a song about a guitar playing Grim Reaper I notice a distinct lack of such a thing. Also, how does a hooker's quest for toilet paper fit in to the story of the song? So post your best examples of good songs that got a shitty music video attached to it.

Cool song, shitty video

You basically described every song from the 80s.

Obviously a video doesn't make the band but for such a talented group of musicians it would be nice to maybe see one video that wasn't goofy/stupid as all hell.

Then again, I'm biased against concert montage video concepts so meh.

 

[Nouw]

Almost every single Rhapsody/of Fire music videos. I'm glad I discovered them on Youtube and not through T.V.; I would have been turned off completely.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

I love this song, but damn the video is crap.

Really? That's INGENIOUS!!! Absolutley brilliant.

 

[lechat]

seriously i can't even listen to the song anymore cause all i can picture is a bunch of ppl crying like you just killed their dog

 

[Pinkamena]

Damn good song. But the music video doesn't do much for me... I don't see how electronica and motorcycles mix. Or perhaps I'm missing the point of the video, you tell me.

 

[BartyMae]

Um...every music video ever? ...you're not telling me people actually watch this sort of garbage, are you? I don't know of any music videos I've ever really liked, except for maybe a few cartoon ones.

 

[Catfood220]

Quite possibly the cheapest music video ever made.

Mind you, this one isn't much better.


Actually, I take it back, Devin dancing is awesome.

I wouldn't say "shit", because Coheed and Cambria's videos are usually fairly well made and interesting, but considering that the majority of C&C's actual fans don't even get the story of the songs, using the music videos to tell them would be logical. What do they make them about, you ask? Cannibalism, zombies, a centaur saving mermaids from a kraken (seriously), random floating picture frames, etc. The only one that really directly relates to the song is The Afterman.

Spoiler

I fucking love Lamb of God, especially this album (Randy's voice is the tits), but I damn well despise this video. I just hate that animation style, reminds me of the crapper 90's cartoons. I think there's a Disturbed song with a similar style, and I hate that too. But then Disturbed were shit so it really makes no difference.

 

[Olas]

It's harder to think of a music video that doesn't suck to be honest. But this one stands out for me.


I mean it's a pretty good song, at least compared to the rest on the album, but god this video is horrible.

If the silly military role playing, pretentious and dated political message, and general fact that it's glorifying the very thing it's condemning aren't enough to convince you this video is terrible skip to 3 minutes in. Ya.

 

[Jubbert]

Oh my God, I forgot about how terrible This Is War's video is.

Yes, sing more about how terrible war is WHILE SHOOTING A GUN DRESSED AS A SOLDIER IN SLOW MOTION.

Holy christ.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Disturbed, The Night and The Animal for me,I'll edit the in in the morning but trust me they suck


and ....


as promised >.>

I agree. I'm frequently disappointed with music videos, since I like to come up with my own mental imagery for songs. The videos usually don't match my imagination at all and end up creating a maddening hodge-podge of the two.

I believe Opus put it best:

I know those to be two good songs, but now I'm gonna be suspicious of the videos.

OT: BYOB by System of a Down.Also an honorable mention to Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. The video isn't terrible, but it just doesn't match the awesomeness of the song itself.

First time I watched that and it got to 3 minutes in I was like, wait what? So completely random and stupid.
