Random Music Videos

Another selection of random music videos. This list is has a few songs I've been listening too lately from the Rock Band game. Yay, Rock Band!

Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi
By far my favorite Bon Jovi song. I love it when Richie Sambora switches mid-song from the 12-string acoustic to the electric guitar. Richie has some pipes on him too, by the by...




Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I confess I had never heard of this song or the band prior to hearing Maps on Rock Band. It is a catchy, cool song though. The vocals kinda get lost in the mix on this video unfortunately. I'll be checking out more music by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Fo' sho'!




You and My Iron Lung by Radiohead
I couldn't pick just one of these videos. These videos are from around the time The Bends and OK Computer albums came out, so mid to late '90s. Very cool - these videos feature just Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood. Watching these I notice how much tighter Thom was on the vocals back then compared to today.






Testify by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Somehow I've managed to forget posting a SRV video before this point. The late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan has got to be my favorite guitarist (an obvious choice for someone into guitars like me). My favorite thing about SRV is that Texas blues sound. Kinda twangy but with lots of punch. I believe this is a performance from Live at El Macombo. Great DVD.



Ballroom Blitz by Sweet
Of course I have to end my music videos segment with an odd video. Oh man, the drummer's grin at the start seals this video as "classic". These guys are kinda creepy looking back from today's styles. Then again this was in the hey-day of glam-rock. Thank you, David Bowie. That Dracula/Dr. Strange cape on the bassist is wicked!!
