I would have put this topic under the category for music. However, I'm basing my thread on music videos, not music alone, which categorizes this as something we watch. Sometimes a music video can make or break a song for the listener. For instance, sometimes you don't like a song very much until you see the video. Or sometimes you like a song until you see the video and then no longer like it as much. So in this thread I'd like to talk about music videos that we really enjoy both the song and video for. My first two examples are going to be by rock bands who've come out with some videos I find interesting. This first video is by a band called Nickelback, for their song "Savin' Me." I loved the song before seeing the video, and the really neat video they came up with for it made me like it even more. In the video, it's hard to figure out what's going on at first, but when you finally get it, it's outstanding. I hope you enjoy it. youtube.com/watch?v=enhfApoyhxsThis next video is by a band called 30 Seconds to Mars for their song, "The Kill." Probably only people who have seen the movie "The Shining" starring Jack Nicholson will understand it because the video is based on that film. I'm a big fan of the movie, so this video actually elevated my liking for this song, because before seeing the video I didn't really enjoy the song. But now I do. Enjoy. youtube.com/watch?v=qF1wZQzpeKA

I just love Nickelback, so I must say taht the vid is just supercool! I never saw it before because my TV is broke and even if it ran, I do not have a lot of time to watch it anyways... The second was a little weird, but I cannot say I did n0t enjoy watching! Errr, I have a few videos I like... I listen to japanese music and I like very much namie Amuro. One day I was watching her clips and I stumbled on a live clip of a song I never really listen a lot. After I saw the performance, I was 0.0. Then, I was obsessed by the song and her clothes ^^. Tell me what you think: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN7oNiXctGcAnother vidoe that made me b like: 0.0 was 'Crucified', by army of lovers. The video kinda makes u stay in front of the TV, even if u never saw them before. They remind me of Prince's look, but somehow they are better. Jean-Pierre reminds me of Lestat when he is 'playing' the violin^^ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYT2aWavXlc

The last video was interesting. I loved the costumes. And that black-haired guy was one pretty dude. You're right, he did remind me of Prince a lot. Have you ever heard of a band called Moby? They create many great songs. They have one song called "Natural Blues" that has a great video. The video is important because I think without seeing the video and only listening to the song you don't get as much of what the song is trying to say. It is a great song, but the video really makes it fantastic. You may also recognize two famous actresses in it. youtube.com/watch?v=ivtKcM1DGeY

yeah, I remember that clip, it is just beautiful and the song is beautiful too and u can memorize it fast. I believe he has a cartoon clip to the same song (or is it another blues song?) anyways, I am not a fan or something, but I do not dislike his music either... This videos is one of my favorites ever! I would have never listened to the song (altough I love it so much) if it weren;t for the video! Too bad it is not from a movie, because I would sure like to watch it and have a lot of fun! here it is youtube.com/watch?v=PFaBKg5iEwUNow the next clip was my mother's favorite and it is long, but it's also worth sitting and watching it. It is Meat Loaf's song 'I would do anything for love' and the clip's story is really beautiful. It's suposed to be something like Beauty and the beast, but I think his powers are like a vampire's... Here is the link: youtube.com/watch?v=9GNhdQRbXhcThe clip has a part two that I discovered later. Now, do not be disappointed about waht you are going to see in the cloip, it is because of the mask... youtube.com/watch?v=9GNhdQRbXhcI have another clpi that I like... I think it was meant for men, but us girls might as well enjoy it since there are soooo many HOTT rockers in it! It is like seeing all of Anne Rice's vampires in one place!

You're definitely into the 80's guys, aren't you lost maiden? I just can't get over the big hair, it's not what I like. I like guys who's locks are in control, ha ha. As a matter of fact, in the movie "Interview with the Vampire" I think Tom Cruise is only hot when that blonde wig is pulled nicely into a ponytail. But when it's all huge, I'm not attracted to him. Just don't like the big hair. Anyway, those videos were cool. This video is one of the neatest ever. I really enjoy the song and I enjoy watching it. It has an ethereal quality that I think is really neat and despite the fact that all the guys are feminine and pretty, I still think they're pretty cute, especially the guitarist with the dark hair and light streak. youtube.com/watch?v=UsbeZ9yJE8E

The QOTD ones were pretty cool, but I prefer those who sing them on the cd than Jonathon Davis on the movie. But whatever.

I thought the actor was singing them... Stuart Townsend, right? I read somewhere that he is passioned by music... Anyway, the original songs are waaaay cooler, very very true!^^ It took me a long tine to get rid of my obsession for those songs. Although it is enough to hear a few notes from one of the songs to make me listen to all of them in a very obsessive manner, lol!

I always have videos for you to watch. Since you like men with longer hair, here's a video with a great song. The video is sort of interesting, but I mostly enjoy the song. You might enjoy looking at the singer. youtube.com/watch?v=Q4eziVQYPcMThis next video is really interesting, and has a twist! I love the song and I love the video. I also think the lead singer is gorgeous. ;D youtube.com/watch?v=iTafQnXY5vY

I know you don't like only guys with long hair. But if you like guys with long hair, it's not bad to post them, is it?
I like the second picture better, you're right.

Lol, but still, guys with longer hair are nice if the long hair looks good on them. For example Peter Andre, a singer. Have u heard of him? I will post a video with him when I get home
