    No Paul Rodgers.
    No Adam Lambert.

    All is well. :)

    Funny moment in the 'Ashes To Ashes' video where Bowie is walking along the beach with his Mum!

    ''Face it son, Tin Machine sucked.''


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,722 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Trevor Horn - production genius.

    (Not on Holly Johnson's Christmas card list)

    Oh, Venice :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,444 ✭✭✭✭Skid X


    No Paul Rodgers.
    No Adam Lambert.

    All is well. :)

    In fairness to the lads, I can't think of any other singer who would be more difficult to replace in a band than Freddie.

    Pub quiz question...

    Who was the first black artist to be played on MTV?

    EDIT: This could be a giveaway!

    Clearly it wasn't MJ!!!

    I'd never heard that story before!

    Technically, it was Herbie Hancock (you see him on the TV in the background)!

    Billie Jean wasn't shown until a few months later.

    This video always freaked me out - and still does :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,372 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Hah!

    Funny looking at this interview (re DB/MJ Dancing in the Street vid) which was clearly done once and used by many different programmes - slightly different version to the one I watched on another channel half an hour ago!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,722 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    The 'Take On Me' video still looks awesome :)

    That image of George Michael's foot tapping on the wall has to be one of the most memorable of all, ever (for me anyway). Genius!

    Oh god, November Rain.

    Agreed, but the video is sooooo overblown!

    Slash walks out of a church that is noticeably smaller than how it looked inside :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 39,915 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    What, no Men At Work?

    I was promised a Vegemite sandwich :(

    Sadly they ran into probably the most bulls**t copyright infringement lawsuit ever:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_Under_(song)#Copyright_lawsuit

    Who knew that a few seconds of flute could do so much damage :p

    Incantation...the true sound of the 80's :D

    Haven't watched this one yet - I take it it's not these chaps :)

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    Jeez, if pedantic mistakes like that annoy you, you must never watch a single music video, tv show or movie in your life! :P :pac::pac::pac:

    It was revolutionary back in the day- it won 6 awards at the 1986 MTV awards.

    Nice Spinal Tap-esque parade of bass players there!

    Did they all die in 'bizarre gardening accidents'? :pac: :D

    Oh, right.

    I love that video.

    It rains and his new wife dies. What doesn't make sense there?

    Bet Slash loved miming while they were doing those helicopter shots.
