Your favorite awful music videos.

[trashcanman]

You know they're out there. Classic MTV staples that are so unspeakably cheesy you hesitate to admit you can't get enough of them. Here're mine, where're yours?


I don't know which is cooler, busting open the vault with rock riffs or Halford bending the cage bars. Yeah, defnitely that fave Rob makes while he goes all Superman. Awesome.



Ever played air guitar? Loser. Journey has an entire air band! Feel inadequate yet? Well they use this talent to stalk women out on the streets in broad daylight. And holy shit, if that bit at 2:30
doesn't make you laugh out loud, nothing will.



Also known as: how to get your ass kicked by a cop like you were Rodney King. This one is so bad the Dead Kennedys dedicated an entire verse on thier final album to mocking it. Dig the courtroom guitar solo at 3:15. Priest would be proud.


Man, this was the most fun I've had all day. And I've had a damn fun day! Contribute! Discuss!

Damn, you know, I've left this thread alone for a few days because I've been trying to think of any awful videos of my own I can post. And I can't even think of one. 80s rock and metal videos are a sure-fire goldmine, of course (and that Judas Priest one is toe-curling).

Looks like you win at this game, Trashy.

[The Curmudgeon]

Damn, I know, I know. Major cop out. But I still can't think of any bands I love who have terrible music videos that I actually kinda like. I'm sure Wolfman could come up with some, though.

OK, I will contribute something, but it is breaking the rules somewhat; it's not a video (there isn't one), but this is one of my favourite artists with one of my favourite terrible songs.

David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome. And yes, it's real.

Just.... great. Sort of.

How about some Twisted Sister wrenching not only our hearts but our SANITY as well?



How about Meat Loaf being delivered on a semi and then singing to female horseback riders in a ruined wasteland?



Here's a Finnish music vide that probably beats the others to a bloody pulp:



How about Aerosmith belting us with a ballad that leaves our minds full of nasty welts?



What about Styx singing about a male robot?



Or Lionel Richie singing about a blind girl in his class that he's teaching?



How about an elevator ride with Ronnie James Dio?

[trashcanman]

That's the stuff! Excellent diversity, too. I'd never seen that Dio one. Awesome. Man, Meatloaf can get away with anything. Did you ever see that one that was like an Indiana Jones movie? Ugh! Wait, here it is.


Or how about we hassle the Hoff for a minute?



You should have been on top of that one, C. Admit it. That's the king of awesome bad videos.
