Ok, this is the video Thread. I have to admit I'm a visual person and I love good videos. I wanna know which are, for you guys, the best music videos and why. please give some information about the director...
one of my fav. directors is Michel Gondry. He have made amazing videos (and movies by the way)!Is a great artist, very unique. He have work with Björk, Foo Fighters, The White Stripes and a lot of other artist! This man have a very original way to make videos, I mean his videos are beautiful and powerful or weird, in other words. UNIQUE
Another is Howard Greenhalgh I fall in love with his videos when I buy a Placebo DVD. The video? Nacy Boy... Sexy!!!! but he have work with other artists like: System of a Down, Elton John, Soundgarden (my always beloved video Black hole sun), INXS and Iron Maiden (but I don't like the video Rainmaker)...
This is just a few one I like. I choose the directors but i will post some videos I like some day! now I want some opinions and recommendation!

Actually, One is no longer the best music video IMO. I just saw Celtic Frost's A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh, had to see it twice. OMG, what an video! Really cool and a great song ... I just love Celtic Frost!

Demons And Wizards - Terror Train: just for the greatness and Hansi Kürsch and John Schaffer together. Also it has cool FX
Iron Maiden - Rainmaker: greatly made.

And this Oomph! Videos. I like them a lot because they're like little movies, they slam:
Augen Auf
Das Letzte Streichholtz
Gott ist ein popstar
Sex Hat Keine Macht

I don't really watch many music videos, so my selection is pretty limited. However, I do have some faves, and here they are:

Deadnight Warrior by Children of Bodom. I mean, yeah, the quality is crap and the video holds little to no concept other than COB rocking out with random Laiho glamour shots [if you can call them that, haha], but there's just a dark, isolated atmosphere set by the video that I think really captures the essence of the song. I just really dig the feeling I get from watching that video.

Fight For Your Right by Beastie Boys is just great. If that's not classic film making right there, I do not know what is. (along with Sabotage and Intergalactic).

Fit But You Know It by the Streets is also insanely excellent!

Nymphetamine by Cradle of Filth. Though I don't really listen to them that much anymore, I remember that video in particular being fantastic.

EDIT: Also, from what I can recall, Jhonen Vasquez's endeavors have been superb. I really like the stuff he does.

Ulver - It is not sound. One of the most twisted videos I've seen. A wicked version of a prophet that becomes some sort of pope... You have to see it.

You all have to see Radiohead: Street spirit. I think that it's one of best videos ever made, furthermore the song is great.

Another great music video director is Mike Nichols.
Aphex Twin - "Come To Daddy" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbL7ghNpGkc




It took me a long time to catch this, but isn't that the director of the movies The Graduate. and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?

Indeed, you caught my mistake The director of "Come To Daddy" is Chris Cunningham. I have no idea what made me write Mike Nichols, lol.

Chris Cunningham is great. He also made a great video for Aphex Twin's Windowlicker.
His video for Björk - All is full of love is also amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA

Megadeths 'Hangar 18' is pretty cheesey but its awesome at the same time.

as well as Belphegors 'vomit upon the cross' cheesey as all hell, and terrible footage, but really funny.

Im not sure about the best, but I like Kreator - 'Enemy of God' and 'Violent Revolution'. There is nice little story at least Enemy of God.

I just like how funny a low budget music video can be. Air guitars, air bass, air drums, and singing into a red pen. Big LOL.

I will have to choose "The Bird & The Worm" by The Used.

I really love this video for it's strange and artistic situations. Like there are parts I love, like when Bert and the old him were in the same jacket (both their jackets were conjoined from the back limb) and when he is pulled into the sofa and takes him underwater. Strange video, but one of my favs.

Another one I like is "Pitiful" by Blindside. This video was one of the first strange vids I have seen. All 4 members are in a cube like room that's tumbling around in a abyss. It's pretty funny if you watch the singer do things, like his arm swing. lol

'Choosing Kreator - Violent Revolution -astounding, harsh, an example of a perfect thrash video, just like Sodom - Fuck The Police.
Oh, I almost forgot Negură Bunget - Norilor, another tremendous video. And there are plenty left...

Rammstein, with their movie-like videos (Tarantino worked on Du Hast), Oomph! makes you think, like in Augen Auf and Gott Ist Ein Popstar, they are saying something deep. There are loads more, and non-metal/rock videos can always pleasantly surprise you.
