Hello Mr. Hall. I would like you to know that you have a scammer in your community. They are using your name to enter people into guitar giveaways on third party apps and then they try to charge over $100 USD for delivery. In case people get scammed and come to you angry and demanding their guitar (Epiphone prophecy flying v in my case), I would like you to be ready and/or warn your audience
That has that honesty behind it . Its like a theatre piece that really comes together . Is it cringey ... yeah sort of ... but it still alot of charme. I would say even almost every 80s metal music video is great . Even when its sometimes horribly made . I miss that goofy honesty lately.
Atleast the devil daddy one is self aware enough in the sense that the entire act is intended to be taken as a somewhat comedy act, the ones that take themselves super seriously but come off as cringe are way harder to watch imo
I work a 9-5 data analyst job, and I also frequent coffee houses, but it will be a cold day in hell before I ever look as unthreatening as a deathcore vocalist
@@spicyboi8008Forget Blasphemian, he should see Motherless Miscarriage, that'll clear up the idea that deathcore bands take themselves too seriously REAL fast.
The videos where its a band playing behind a green screen is classic, Broken down Warehouse is a close second favorite imo. Both are over the top now but they worked pretty well back in the day,
Immortal's call of the winter moon is one that is so bad it is hilarious.. In fact someone stuck the Benny Hill theme over it and it fit suprisingly well.
You should check out Rings of Saturn's Margidda Official Video. It's, like, super funny and horrendous with all those crazy alien CGI effects. They're kinda bad, but in a way that makes you laugh. As the song goes on we meet some aliens who look like they were drawn by kindergarten kids. And don't get me started on that last scene where they pile up and dance around in a green screen looking landscape. In the end, In conclusion the official music video was a hilarious unintentional comedy showcase of some of the worst CGI effects ever committed to film. It's a must-watch
Literally started up the game on my PC just to drive in the open world with that song. The weather had this apocalyptic thing going on too with meteors falling down, a red sky with thunder, and it fit so well with the song. God that game changed the course of my music life
@@YumiVanherck Oboro, The World of Mercy or Rinkaku are some example, they really acomplish the meaning and context of the song with profesional scenarios, stories or animations always with that disturbing and obscure tone
@@arlesfrog6780 ok yeah, you were serious. In that case I agree with you. Their videos are actually unsettling most of the time (The Blossoming Beelzebub, Zan, Dozing Green).
@@arlesfrog6780 I love Kyo's melodramatic persona! It's one of the reasons why DeG is my favorite band. Of course he has the charisma to actually pull it off but it's one of the things that makes them what they are both in MV's and on the stage.
These videos are brilliant and give my existing life some laughs keep up the checking of funny things with music it’s class, some of those music vids are inspirational to say the least 😂👌🎸, keep up the good work sir 🤪🤙
I disagree with you on Motionless In White’s video. It’s like 50% less cringe to me, but Immaculate Misconception will always slap so maybe that plays a large part in why.
Best cringy music videos: Candlemass- Bewitched Thor- Anger Necrophagia- Blood Freak (Warning: This video’s graphic and gory and has that Lucio Fulci b-movie quality) Immortal- Call of the Wintermoon Attack Attack!- Stick Stickly (The music video that started the crabcore meme craze) Design the Skyline- Surrounded by Silence (Song and video are so bad, it became a meme) Avenged Sevenfold- Almost Easy
Having made a few metal videos for little or no money I think expectations are soooo high. The last Bruce D video was embarrassing- how?. Ministry’s last one too ain’t great.
One of my favorites is the Wildest Dreams CG crap from Steve Harris's armpit. They've got a CG Brucie and a CG Eddie, fkn spinning about like Andy Pandy and Professor Yaffel. You might not know what I'm talking about but Nicko does, they were friends with Sooty!
@@poob2372 lol nah it’s just it looked like you were listing bands. If you had said “CAFO by Animals as Leaders” then I would’ve understood what you actually meant lol my b
Making music videos is difficult. Everyone has different artistic ideas. I appreciate the hard work that these musicians put into these videos. Cut them some slack bro. They put a lot of time and effort into making their visions and dreams come to life. 😂
Shawn Crahan is the greatest metal music video director/producer of all time, and it's not even close. His work on Mudvaynes L.D. 50 album is legendary too.
For an example of a metal video that's not terrible (and actually quite nicely put together), Dark Funeral - My Funeral (trigger warning for "auto-un-aliving")
70's greenscreen with trippy patterns are unironically 10x more swag than this stuff. Rivers of Nihil's parody of that is actually one of the best metal music videos for it.
Id be curious to know bradleys opinion on Brendan Small of dethklok. I know he's not the most technical guitarist, but I've always thought he was a great song writer and melody writer.
Never actually seen the video of Ancient's "Lilith's Embrace", though it's one of my favourite songs of theirs. Glad you included it, cheesy and cringe as it is.
I'll say, that video for Hearts on Fire is a classic in the most amazingly terrible ways. it truly is a shame that it hasn't really been rediscovered by meme culture, it's such awesome, awful cheese. and hammerfall has *at least* 5 more videos like this, just with increasingly better cgi. bloodbound is another great one where the CG is still just shitty enough to be really funny. btw if you do another round of these, you absolutely should check out the video for "the book of heavy metal" by Dream Evil. I'm sure the even more ridiculous cheesiness of that video was at least partially a friendly rib in response to Hammerfall's antics, what with Dream Evil being the side project of prolific metal producer Fredrik Nordström who has produced basically *all* the classic gothenburg melodeath albums. In Flames, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork, and so many more. and also obviously Hammerfall's debut, which is where he probably got the idea for his own band from, except to make it decidedly cheesier and more tongue-in-cheek.
4:33 the normie looking guy growling into the darkness from a mountainside was the funniest one to me. Like if it was any typical, Nathan Explosion looking guy it would be totally unremarkable but the fact that he just looks like some random guy who just came from his day job makes it’s hilarious
There is hardly any money to be made making metal music videos anymore. Many of the biggest metal bands do not even bother to make a music video for even singles they want to promote. If they do, then it is mostly live footage or some lyric video. It's not a mystery metalbands do not want to put huge amounts of cash on making a music video and end up using green screen. However, at least some video is better than none? 🤔
4:57 right? Okay fine in 1991 you had to be long haired or bald to be in a death metal band unless you were Ken Owen from Carcass. But when did the decree come in that you had to look like a barista?
