Just wondering...
What's the first music video you ever saw?
"Thriller" I guess? But I actually didn't pay attention to music videos that much until I saw Nirvana's Heart-shaped box. -j
cant remember well, i was playin with matches at the time. but the 1st that got my attention was glazer's for massive attack's karmacoma. i was simply amazed.
le: also prodigy - poison
souls of mischief - 93 till infinity, hip hop in the forest. great song too
Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" I was 3. :X
The first one that fucked me up was Micheal Jackson's "Remember the Time":
He spins and disappears into sand. Killer.
consciously? the muppets - mahna mahna, meatloaf - paradise by the dashboard light, herbie hancock - rockit, in that order.
Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
talking heads - once in a lifetime...or blondie- rapture my childhood is a mild blur...
"Hungry Like A Wolf" by Duran Duran or "Electric Avenue" by Eddie Grant. More importantly was the venue... HBO's "Video Jukebox".
Wiki here...
Snap - The Power
not sure...
but i know that i didnt think too much of music video directing until i visited Mark Romanek's website.
childhood memories:
then it was 1991-'92 and i got thrown into adulthood by:
First video I remember seeing was "Thriller"
First video that made me want to direct music videos made me think 'ooh, dude got paid to light other dude on fire! I wants that job'. Now I has that job but still working on the getting paid bit.
Aside from the Jackson stuff we've all seen, the first one that really grabbed me was Genesis - Land Of Confusion Still epic and creepy.
Probably "We Are the World" back in the mid 80s in PA. It was a big thing back then!
Bohemina Rhapsody it was, found that on a live VHS from queen - and my first MTV-watched video was robert palmer, dont know the song ... -
I'd love to say I had an epiphany whilst watching once in a lifetime when I was 4... but actually it's difficult to remember.
Early vids I remember are big obvious ones like Thriller, Bohemian Rhapsody and random stuff like that Nothing's gonna stop us now song from Starship because I bloody loved the tune (I was 5). It was basically just a cut down of Mannequin with some performance footage. masterpiece. Ones that came slightly later that stick in my head for whatever reason- the prodigy 'charly', new order 'true faith' (which weirded me out) and tears for fears 'sowing the seeds of love', along with all the Bangles, Bon Jovi and Bananarama.
The first video I ever saw was "Man Eater". .
The first video I ever fell in love with was Chris Isaak's Wicked Game.
The first video I ever felt dirty for watching: Billy Idol's "Rock the Cradle of Love".
Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer - directed in collaboration with Aardman Animation (amongst others), so Wikipedia tells me.
extreme - more than words.
