How dull are metal videos? Mime in a gritty location or live doing your day job. Where’s the pizzazz? where’s the story? where’s the doing anything interesting?
The first ‘metal’ albums I bought were Slippery When Wet and Final Countdown*. Gateway albums for me, though I’d credit Walk this way by Run DMC and Aerosmith as being the pilot light.

Probably the first metal I got into as it was new and just coming out, rather than catching up on old stuff… Still sounds fresh as a daisy imo 28 years later.
(I’m old and grumpy and tbh I’ve not heard any recent metal that I think wouldn’t have sunk without trace in the 90s… But this thread’s good.)

There’s some great stuff up there and some I’ve never heard of but will likely have a look at the others later.
I um’d and ah’d over lots of things and this is by far the lightest (it was competing with SOAD, Alice in Chains and White Zombie amongst others) and it’s probably a little light to be considered truly “metal” against most of this company but this is one of those songs you could dismiss as being just another “movie theme rock song” and then you just catch what it’s really about and how nicely written it is and how carefully the video’s been crafted.
I’ll post some of my usual stuff next week, but having spent a few days on their tour last weekend it would be remiss not to post something from Mushroomhead
