This has to be the most pretentious,
it ticks all 3 boxes,

1) BIG hair
2) BIGGER ego's
3) getting the most on your 1 minute solo slot!

That is spectacularly bad, and the 4-neck looks even more cumbersome in use than it did in stills. Also, I am I right in thinking all the necks are the same? Strange.

Somebody nicked that guitar, i think it was a custom Dean, quad neck, all necks the same, and they jigsawed it up and sold it as 4 guitars.
One quarter was found and returned by a British fan i suppose the rest ended up on ebay.

I think I can slightly edge that one, Lee. Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Rage Hard"

It has:
1- Spectacularly bad trousers
2- The usual pretentious slogans (I do like "artichoke" making an appearance, though)
3- Holly spends the first verse attempting gutteral vocal style already out of fashion by 1982

but, and this is the killer bit that edges it over the Nitro link, all the comments on Yootyoob are fulsome in their praise of this random gobshite. Who knows what and how far was up the band's collective backside when this one was penned.

I'm usually a fan of midget inclusion in videos, but come on.

1) Stalker midget
2) Rick sword fighting
3) Rick makes out with a dead girl

I'm even a fan of The Cars.

:lol: and, in the last 20 seconds, there is a random racoon rutting a tree stump. Incidentally, clicking on the link showed up a near-match alongside that is totally inexplicable:

I've never heard of Black 'n' Blue (vaguely heard of Warrant), but the hair, ghastly 80s raaawk production, guitars painted to match the spandex and "this isn't ironic, this really is our stage act" routine in front of an LA rent-a-crowd of extras is worth a look for larfs.

Another goody....

Im a GnR (not great northern railway) fan, but this hits the cringe button every time i have to endure it.

Too long, too much budget, but a great guitar solo saves the day.

Dammit we must stop agreeing on things, or we'll loose our dynamic but I've loved that solo, and song, since I was way too young to own it...but yeah the vid does suck, if you cut Axl out it'd be ok...


EDIT: safety dance may be a really cringe-worthy song but the video (considering) rocks and indeed kicks-ass, so there.
