Music thread: Video killed the radio star

[MegaBlue05]

The "realest" band out of the Sunset Strip. Lumped in with the glam crap, but really just a sleazy hard rock band with a tinge of metal and punk for good measure.

Beasties- You Gotta Fight, For Your Right, To Paaaaartaaay!!


Van Halen- Hot For Teacher Opening double bass drum solo kicks a little a$$, but it's not on the video. What a waste.

Videos did kill or at least hurt music IMO. Songs became as much about the video and what the band/singer looked like than the music. To me the golden era of music was the 1970's before video networks and when it was more about the music.

Back then, it seemed like Sailing played non-stop... then they saw what CC looked like, and that was that. His "look" did not fit into the video era.
