Worst video: Ice Ice Baby

Your're right Pretty Woman is sooooooo bad, it is actually good. I laugh my ass off how bad it is every time I see it.

For the worst videos (non-gay vids, Panamark), I will find and post links to the videos here. I haven't seen the Ice Ice video, will find it and post a link.

Isn't that the song, Vanilla Ice sampled the lead in off Queen's
"Under Pressure" song and Freddie Mercury wanted to sue the hell out of the guy but Brian May so no, because Queen was so busy with their work and on Tour? (**)

Anyway, like we'll end up with the R.A.'s Top Ten Worst Video List with links to the video.

Again non-gay videos Panamark. I mean Flock of Seagulls, Boy George and the rest of the lot, had some real stinkers, but they don't count.

(**) Just look it up, yeah that is the song.

1968 Robert Van Winkle born to Beth Mino, Miami Lakes FL.
1986 Drops out of high school.
1988 Changes "rap name" from MC Vanilla to Vanilla Ice.

1990 Hit Ice Ice Baby, in which he blatantly rips off a 1982 Queen riff from Under Pressure. Inexplicably sells 15 million copies. Settles out of court with Queen/Bowie. Ice claims Suge Knight forced the issue at gunpoint: "He took me over to the balcony, and he had me look over. He says to me, 'You're gonna sign these papers'... I signed it. I gave millions away."
---------------

Ok now I remember, actually David Bowie wrote the song, but Queen got to use it.

Panamark

Geez TB, you make it hard, all the worst vids are the *GAY* ones.

Hmmmm, a Metal vid that sucked ??? "Balls to the Wall" Accept.
Killer song, bad video.

A Little Ain't Enough.

All you'd have to do is put David St. Hubbins as a stand-in for Dave in that video (and come to think of it, they DO look sorta similar), and you'd have the video for the first release off of Shark Sandwich.

02-03-2005, 01:49 PM

Dont know if its the worst, but the first thing I thought of is Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC, the one little set of stage lights in the video is pretty funny, not exactly a big budget video like they would do in later years....Anyone ever see the U.K. version of Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard? Its basicly some fat broad destroying a house with a wrecking ball, really really bad....

Ok rustoffa caught me with my pants down on this one.

I met two of those chicks (the drummer and that hot lead guitarist with the long hair) once when they came into the same place I and some biz bros were eating for lunch.

Went and introduced myself and we rapped a little bit. They were cool.

I mean you gotta admit the chicks were very hot, rustoffa.

PS: Ok dammit, I'll come clean, I got their autograph also, LOL. I mean what can I say, all the blood had rushed out of my brain to another part of my anatomy.

Pics - Here we go, the drummer is the chick on the far left in the first pic, and the other chick I met is on the right in both pics. I forget their names now.

Also, any of the early rem videos pretty much suck
More Than Words
That new Lenny Kravitz one (for the shitty GAP ad song) is awful Lennys cut the hair, the women are kinda fugly, and they re-used the set from the last Jane's Addiction video.

I didn't find it on the first pass of my inet video library's, will have to look further, tomorrow.

But hey Mez, I posted the worst video on your sticky thread on the Mains. Did you forget?

Ya know, it's your good buddy Rick James (RIP) video "Super Freak (1981)"

Here's the Video (mms://re2wmod006.bcst.re2.yahoo.com/re2pub07root4/re2pub07share13/launch.com/12/6396456.wmv)

Hey bros, you got to watch this vid, it's a scream, man-o-man all the cheap production vids in the early '80's. I like how James winks in the camera at the first of the video, shiteeeeee!

Hmmm...

Foo Fighters 'Times Like These'

They did two videos for this - one playing below a bridge and one....

They did it one of those 'green' rooms. You know where they film something and if they want to make it look like someones flying, or super-impose something there or whatever, they use a green thingy and that can then be edited on the video footage, and be removed, or changed or whatever. They went into a room that had walls like this green stuff. They then created a video by editing what the green stuff was, and changed it to something that looked like a Windows Media Player visual............

It sounds wierd I know, but I don't know about that green stuff or whatever. But the results were not good.......

Well, actually, I also remember this one video that was in high rotation with Mariah Carey singing with BOYZ II MEN. That was one of the most awful things I've ever seen.

Oh, and the Celine Dion/Barbara Streisand video. That was like watching Satan and Stalin get together and sit in the same outhouse, producing the stinkiest pile of shit the world has ever known. I'm sure Oprah loved it.:rolleyes:

Yeah I remember that one and have a video link. Benatar is a tough chick and she quit the business because the label kept exploiting her looks and bod, and not promoting her music like she wanted.

Her husband who played in the band, Neil Geraldo, is a really cool guy and a great guitarist.

This is a post from another forum I did on Benatar and Giraldo. Great song, imo.

Video: Pat Benatar – “Promises in the Dark”

"Left Click to Play/Right Click to Download" (mms://213.132.96.108/Archive/01EP005200_1000.wmv)

Yes, as a musician, I have always been impressed with Benatar's husband, and lead guitarist in her band, Neil Giraldo. I was flipping TV stations, and on the country music channel, they had Pat, Neil and the band, along with country's Martina McBride doing a gig.

Only saw the last half of it, but Neil can still light up a fret board, and on one song, Benatar blew McBride right off the stage. It was cool! Pat still has the pipes. It was funny her showing McBride how to belt out a song, and McBride being so reverent to Benatar in the show.

I always thought Giraldo’s solo on “Promises” was a great showcase of his ability. Good stuff!

I forget, until I saw it again, that Dweezil Zapppa did the guitar work in that POS "Heartbreak", and Moon Unit Zappa is also briefly in the video.

I wonder how much of those $8 billion in securities, etc Johnson got caught with trying to drive into Germany he had to give Zappa. I like how when the German Border Custom's people caught Johnson with the massive stash, he said he was just going to German to buy a car! Some car, ROFLOL.

I have never to this day understood how Johnson got out of that, and the securities were not siezed by the German authorities. They just took pictures of everything, and after a long delay, and a number of phone calls, they finally let Johnson and the bonds go. WTF?

Here's what I think of Don Johnson, his videos, and his new German car:

=========================
Here's an article on the German deal last year.

Don Johnson's Eight Billion Dollar Problem
(Tuesday, March 11, 2004 10:00 PM)

German authorities are wondering why "Miami Vice" star Don Johnson was trying to cross the Swiss border with a suitcase crammed with $8 billion worth of share certificates, bonds and credit notes.

The border stop occurred on Nov. 6 when Johnson was traveling from Zurich to Germany. He was accompanied in his black Mercedes-Benz by three men: an investment adviser, a personal assistant and a mystery man. German police have been on heightened alert in recent years, stopping motorists in an attempt to halt money laundering via Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.

Johnson tells The New York Post that he was going to Germany to look at a car and denies any knowledge of the financial documents.

Decent tune, shitty video from the 4th women that Eddie and Alex Van Halen have asked to front Van Halen. (Offerred Sass the job, before deciding on Cherone).

Toronto newspaper reported that Sass had dinner with Alex, and some other people were at the table, when the 04 Van SpamBoys played Toronto.

Could Sass be frontin VH IV?

Another early 80's low budget, crappy video, that is really bad, but funny.

Of course with Lita being my wife, I pretty bias :-)

Man, we are coming up with some vids, that really push our music vid knowledge here.

Gosh, I have forgotten about a lot of these stinkers. Guess that's good, haaaa

Clearly "Rock Me" sucked.

On the Dexy's Midnight Runners vid, I think I only saw that once, because yeah I remember the stupid midgets.

Have to see if I can find that one. A lot of these stinkers are on European websites.

Yeah, you know Rockwell is Webster's uncle, right? That's how it happened. MJ wanted to meet Webby so bad that Rockwell's manager happened to be his brother (Emmanuel Lewis's father), and said if you want to have my young son Emmanual play with you then you have to contribute the chorus vocals to this song.

MJ reallllly didn't like the song, and begged and tried to explain that Neverland was the best place in the world and that Emmanuel would love it there, but Emmanuel's father was steadfast.

Sure enough, MJ recorded the vocals and got his playdate with Webster. It was on that night, Emmanuel Lewis rode a giraffe for the first time, had his first taste of Jesus Juice, and had his oyung virgin buttocks sodomized like there was no tomorrow.

Just kidding. I made all that up.

Ok, here’s the hands down winner, imo, for the worst album and music video ever made, and will ever be made, in this history of the planet.

Pat Boone
….(Big time Gospel singer and religious flake)

Album: In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy – 1997

Review: The Lord calls down to Pat and tell's him to make the biggest ass of himself possible by doing a Metal cover album. Boone delivers and releases No More Mr. Nice Guy, a collection of heavy metal covers revamped into the popular mold to fit the Pat Boone style.

To promote the album, he appeared at the American Music Awards in black leather, shocking audiences and losing his respectability among his largest constituency, conservative Christians; he was fired from Gospel America, a TV show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Question, how did Boone get copyright releases from the artists to totally butcher their material including Van Halen?

Baaaawaaaa!!!,

and I said we gave Priest a free pass because the whole band isn't gay just Rob, ......

like Freddie Mercury was flaming gay but the rest of Queen wasn't.

If we post your vid pic, then I get to post all the Culture Club, Boy George and Flock of Seagull videos.

Of, course Flock of Seagulls was Sammy's and EVH's favorite band in the 80's. You can tell by this pic, I mean how fucking gay can you get here?

You can clearly see VH was trying to take over Flock's fan base after the band broke up because this was the timeframe Van Hagar really cranked in with the gay look. Of course, it's common knowledge that Hagar has always been bi-sexual.

They show it whenever there`s a bad video day on VH1, and it`s always in the top ten.

Holy, shit-I saw that about 3 years ago on VH1. That is one funny piece of shit!!

What is it the presenter says before he comes on, something about him being a "hot young star". He comes on and he is about 35-40. His dancing kicks ass as well.

And the presenters face at the end is a picture if I remember well enough.

I actually saw some of Bobby Conn's albums in HMV. I'll have to get one.

Well speaking of the Celtic way, here ya go

How about Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple fame. One of the greatest guitarists in the world, now doing Celtic music and living the Celtic lifestyle 24/7.

Cross-Post - from my Classic Deep Purple Videos thread in the Bootleg Corner forum:

=============

Of course we are talking the Ritchie Blackmore of old before he went crazy over the hot blond in these videos (Candice) and got into all that Celtic and Renaissance music/lifestyle, and starting his new band with Candice, "Blackmore Nights".......Shiteeee

I hope that is really good p-tang he is getting. Man-o-man.

Here we go, Blackmore Nights - Live

* Here * (http://www.muz.ee/multimedia/video/live/BlackmoureNight.mpg)

Tell ya, somewhere along the way Candice did way too much bad acid and fried her tiny brain. Guess she must be good yum.

Personally, I never liked Whitesnake except for that fucked in the head Tawny Kitaen being in the videos. I mean it's like Sammy Hagar wrote their songs, like he wrote those shitty love songs for VH - II. Lets see with Whitesnake we had, just for starters,:

Fool For Your Loving
Give Me All Your Loving
Is This Love
Love Ain't No Stranger
Here I Go Again

........shiteee, what a bunch of candy asses. There’s nothing worse than a rock band singing love songs. Bands like this gave a bad name to the 80's.

Steve Vai joined Whitesnake after DLR's EEAS band disbanded. However, he was of no help on this totally limp dick Whitesnake video:

Fool For Your Loving (mms://213.132.96.108/Archive/01HF021300_450.wmv)

For our second worst ever video, Whitesnakes takes a song that did well in the charts, and just total butcher it in the video, turning it into some half-baked pussy slow song.

Here I Go Again (mms://213.132.96.108/Archive/01HF022230_450.wmv)

Weoooo, painful to watch.

Last candy ass video, cannot take anymore. The problem with Whitesnake they didn’t have any punch. This video reminds me of the “Final Countdown” video by the band Europe. In fact Whitesnake reminds me of the one-hit stinker band, Europe.

Give Me All Your Loving (mms://213.132.96.108/Archive/01HF022800_450.wmv)

Ok, enough of the “worst of” stinker videos. I have to see that smokin hot bod Tawny back in her day. This is the best video where she really struts her stuff and shows us what she's got. Niceeeeeee!

You remember all the bullshit when Hagar joined VH. He insisted they call it Van Hagar, (which I wanted so as to not destroy the Van Roth era legend)

Then they came out with that Dreams video, and it was nothing but the Blue Angels, no shots of the band, nothing..... and everybody was going WTF?

Then EVH said (on the Dreams video) well we aren't a visual band like before and don't want to do that anymore, and everybody went WTF?

Of course, a call to Eddie and Jammy from Warner Brothers took care of all the infighting and bullshit, pronto.

Julie aka Tawny Kitaen is the model on both these RATT album covers. I knew she dated Robbin Crosby of RATT (RIP, age 41), but never knew this trivia.

Yelp AIDS, but the wierd thing with the guy is instead of wasting away like most victims do, he exploded to 400 lbs before he died. Robbin said in an interview before he died, that the doctors thought the virus screwed up his pancreas and digestive tract, so everything he ate turned to fat.

Bummer to say the least.... Here's his memorial website (www.robbincrosby.com)

Baaawaaaa, our thread is going to hell, is it not

And hey, for the record, Robbin was not remotely gay or was that how he got AIDS.

It was from too much drugging and unprotected sex with groupies.

I had a LOT of respect for the guy and how he handled himself in his late AIDS days. Real standup on the deal, even though he knew it was over.

The guy had a lot of guts!

Hey AP, come on, you understand what I was saying about Robbin do you not? He never blamed anyone but himself for getting too careless was the point chief. All the guy ever wanted to be was a successful musician, and ended up being with ones of the best rock bands of the 80's.

A lot of us could have made the same mistake, ya know. A lot of us DID make the same mistakes, but got lucky, pure and simple.

Absolutely the worst video ever made was "Once" by Van Danniels.

Yeah, and I know Cherone's gay, but homosexuality has nothing to do with why this video completely SUCKED.

MTV actually turned it down. That's how horrible it was. Maybe the fact that it was shot on a single camcorder by Yoko Bertinelli's brother had something to do with it.

And the fact that the song sounded like a bad Genesis ripoff didn't help either.

And no I don't have a link. Thank God!

Know nothing about VH-III, only saw my first VH-III live concert video of VH playing in Sydney on the 98 Tour two weeks ago. Great full length concert bootleg video as to quality, but holy bajesus did Cherone totally suck. What a train wreak.

Here’s the link to watch the video, for dumb ass’s like me that had never seen it. ….should have stayed a dumbass on this one but……

VH-III “Once” Video (http://www.vhnd.com/once/once112.rm)

Requirements: RealPlayer / rm format / 4:14 minutes

That almost sounds like Ozzy in on the backing vocals. Jack and Wolfgang are best friends, you think Oz helped EVH a little, or is that voice just Cherone?

Saw this on the “Once” video.
http://www.vhnd.com/archive/0199.shtml

Once Video Released!

January 5, 1999 - Van Halen's video for Once has been released! As we reported on December 28, two videos were made - one for the album version, the other for the remixed version that was originally planned for release as a single last year.

The videos are only available on the Internet, and the Van Halen News Desk is one of the first web sites to make it available. Click on this link to go to our Once page. You can download many different versions of the video from there.

Once Page info:

January 5, 1999 - The wait is over! We are happy to announce that the full-length versions of both videos for Once are now available from the Van Halen News Desk! Back in July we reported that the next single from Van Halen III would be a remixed version of Once. Unfortunately, the executives at Warner Bros. decided against the idea and plans for the single were shelved.

What we didn't know at the time was that David Bertinelli, brother of Edward's wife Valerie, was hard at work producing a video for the single. David, a professional photographer who has worked with the band since 1980, shot the at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit on May 19, 1998.

Two versions of the video were produced. The edited single version runs 4:14, the full-length album version clocks in at 7:45. Both versions are now available for download from this site! The videos are an Internet Exclusive! Consider them a gift from the band to you, the fans who have supported them throughout this past year.

>>>a gift from the band

They probably thought the 04 Van SpamBoys Tour was a gift from the band also, shiteeee!

They just go wandering off to the stranges places unannounced, I don't know why. I mean, I scold it, tell it to behave itself before we go out in public, etc. and then once again my mini cam ignores me and off it goes. :-)

If you are american, then you probably haven't even heard of Cliff Richard, never mind seeing the video for 'Wired For Sound', but I see it quite often on VH1 Classic over here.

It is as embarrassing as Badguy says, it's really fucking awful. (Sir) Cliff Richard has to be the most cheesey guy in Britissh history. He actually reminds me of american popstars in the 80s.

I forget who it's by, and the correct spelling, but 'Shaddupayaface' is fucking shite from all perspectives. I can't believe it kept such a well-crafted song like 'Vienna' off the UK number one spot. I'm not a huge fan of electropop and new romantics, but you can't deny it when a well-crafted song when it comes along.

Motorhead's 'Killed By Death' is quite bad. But, I'll let it off cos Lemmy's in it.

Also, Metallica's 'One' really pisses me off, who cares about the guy with the mask pleading for his life-we want to hear the song, not some actor's voice.

What about Queen's 'Radio GaGa'. Not only one of Queen's stupidest songs, but the actors in the video are really diabolical. And bassist John Deacon's hair...fucking hel. Big afro thing.

7. AC\DC - Jailbreak (Was this shot with a hand held Super 8mm)
8. Kiss - A World Without Heros (Dear God please forgive them what were they thinking Gene in NuWave look singing a ballad?)
9. Autograph - Turn Up The Radio (Did someone say HAIRband? I always hated poodles this vid made be buy that sniper rifle in case they showed up in my neighborhood)
10. Dokken - Dream Warriors (Any movie themed video would fit here aka..Alice Cooper's Jason vid...Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory...you get the point)

There are some other groups that belong as a group cause any video was bad {some mentioned earlier}

First time I saw that shit I was coming down bad
off some very wicked speed. Been up for two days,
sun had already come up, the bongs and beers were
not helping, it made me so angry I didnt know whether
to commit suicide or go and kill something.
I think someone ended up giving me a Valium.

Only seen it maybe 3 times since that binge,
but geez I feel angry. Maybe Im a total homophobe ?
I didnt think so, but it was like being forcefully
made to watch gay porn when you didnt want to..

I also thought it was something really fucked up for
young "cuntfused" people to see, and wrong for too
many reasons. I cant recall the music either as
I was still noodling on my guitar which I would
notoriously do until the speed was gone and
the downers took over...

Yeah, it was pretty obvious what the Bronski Beat video was all about.

Hell, if you're going to be a gay band and market yourself to a gay audience, why not just go completely out of the closet and don't bother with the metaphors.

Like Pansy Division for example.....

Bands destroyed by MTV:

Loverboy. Unfortunately, they didn't sound NEARLY as cool as they looked. (But I saw them in 2011 and they still sound great if you are into them)

REO Speedwagon. The world got one look at these guys and promptly ran away.

And sadly Billy Squier, who's music I really like but that video couldn't be more gay if it depicted Little Richard sodomizing Richard Simmons on the hood of a Toyota Prius at the end of the rainbow while singing "Y.M.C.A".

I don't know why everyone was surprised to find out Billy Squier was gay. Ever take a good look at the lyrics to "My Kinda Lover" (one of his big hits from the early 80s)

You got me runnin' baby
You give me somethin' way beyond revenue
You put the magic in me :anal:
I feel the magic when we do what we do
And oh...
I can't do without you for too long...you're my situation
You're my kinda lover...

You keep me all together
You take me out whenever I'm lettin' down
You got the motions baby
I got a notion maybe I'll stick around
And oh...
I can never doubt you for too long...I can't see no reason
You're my kinda lover...

When you come 'round I never get down---I fly across the floor
I can see you comin' on me...and I can't ask for more :splooge:
Rock me, sock me, baby you got me ridin' to the end
Rake me, shake me, baby you make me--turn me on again

You got my motor racin'
I find my thoughts embracin' your every move
I wanna set you reelin'
I wanna make you feel the way that I do
And oh...
I been thinkin' 'bout you for so long
I don't wanna lose ya--you're my kinda lover...

I hate to even mention it, but one of the worst videos ever was the van hagar "dreams" live at the Whiskey video. I know it defaults into the "gay" category, but whatever, it was awful and I wish I'd never viewed it.

It's not gay, it's Van Hagar's attempt to change history. :mad:

Give Me All Your Loving
Is This Love
Love Ain't No Stranger

What about "The Deeper The Love" ugh

Second....hindsight shows that all signs pointed to Squier being gay. From the limp-wristed finger snap move to his being in a band called "Piper." Makes you wonder about the origin of that band name? Is it because Billy liked to lay pipe in other dudes?

Speaking of Piper...fuck them and their career that amounted to nothing. To think that Bill Aucoin took a pass on Van Halen in favor of signing "Piper" is ridiculous.

I did not know that.

I saw him live once, back in 1984 with RATT opening. RATT was so good the crowd was still chanting for them when Billy came on stage. Once everybody got over that I thought he was really good live (he played and sang his ass off), even though he did sort of make everyone's gaydar go off. My girlfriend at the time had a HUGE crush on him and came away from the show sort of heartbroken.

This was great

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Me_Tonite

The video for the track was directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who later directed the High School Musical films. It shows Squier waking up in a bed with satiny, pastel-colored sheets, then dancing and kicking up his heels around the bed as he gets dressed, ultimately putting on a pink tank top. At the conclusion he leaves the room and joins his band in performing the song.
It frequently appears on "worst music video ever" lists.[4] For I Want My MTV, their 2011 oral history of the network's early years, authors Rob Tannenbaum and Craig Marks interviewed over 400 people, primarily artists, managers, filmmakers, record company executives and MTV employees. They said that none could agree on the best video, but all agreed that "Rock Me Tonite" was the worst. They devoted an entire chapter of the book to it.[5]
Squier himself, and many other observers, believe its blatant homoeroticism alienated a significant portion of his fan base and ruined his career. "I liked [him] very much," says Rudolf Schenker of The Scorpions, "but then I saw him doing this video in a very terrible way. I couldn't take the music serious anymore."[2]

At that point, Ortega, a friend of Squier's girlfriend, called up Squier's managers and offered to direct the video. He had done choreography in some of Mallet's videos, and directed the clip for The Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited." Neither manager was particularly enthusiastic about him, and pressured Squier to get rid of him. Capitol was disturbed that Squier had talked directly to Ortega, in contravention of their preferred practice, but deferred to him. "By going around the label, he had thrown down the gauntlet," Kleber says.[2]
Ortega suggested to him that he do some of the same moves he did during his show, without his guitar. Squier's idea was that the resulting footage should be grainy and in darker, subdued colors, evoking the 1980 film American Gigolo. He rejected a suggestion by Ortega that it look instead like Tom Cruise's air guitar scene near the beginning of the 1982 film Risky Business.[2]
The shoot was held in Los Angeles within two weeks of the world premiere date. Squier showed up on the soundstage and saw the decorated set. It was not what he had envisioned, and he expressed his misgivings. Ortega reassured him that the finished version would look as he had wanted it to. "I didn't like the sheets but I trusted the guy." Tom Mohler, one of Squier's managers, asked Ortega to make sure there was footage of the band performing the entire song to use as coverage; he says Ortega promised to do so but did not.[2]
Other artists and managers have wondered why Squier and his management did not stop the video. "I don't care if the director was lying dead on the floor," says Pete Angelus, manager of Van Halen, "you shouldn't have put on a fucking pink T-shirt and danced around like that." Stiefel says friends who see the clip for the first time on YouTube are still incredulous that it ever aired. "Did Billy not notice the pastel satin sheets?" Stiefel asks. "I don't know that Barry Manilow ever did such a gay video ... This is the great Kenny Ortega. How could he have allowed such a thing?" [2]
At Capitol and MTV, there were similar questions. A joke had it that the video should have been called "Cock Me Tonite". The label continued to defer to Squier, giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he might have intended the video as a joke. Mohler pleaded with Capitol president Jim Mazza to just cancel the video, but the label stood firm. "I wish I had had the balls to say to [them]: 'We're not putting it out'," Mohler laments.[2]
Squier was aghast when he saw the video. Capitol told him not to worry since the single was so successful, but his girlfriend told him it would ruin him. He was touring at the time, and recalls that as soon as the video came out, he stopped selling out shows, in some cases playing to half-empty arenas. "I couldn't figure out why Capitol didn't pull that video and make another one," said Warren DeMartini of Ratt, who were opening for Squier at the time. Squier learned later that he could have done so himself, as Bruce Springsteen had been able to do with a video he disliked. "Everything I'd worked for my whole life was crumbling, and I couldn't stop it."[2]
As a result, he fired both his managers within a month. While they understood why, it was painful for Mohler in particular, since Squier had been best man at his wedding earlier in the year. He hired Stiefel to replace them, finished his tour and then took two years to release his next album, Enough Is Enough.[2] He has never matched his early chart success since then.
In 2011, Squier talked about the experience as "an MBA course in how a video can go totally wrong."
The video misrepresents who I am as an artist. I was a good-looking, sexy guy. That certainly didn't hurt in selling records. But in this video I'm sort of pretty boy. And I'm preening around a room. People said "He's gay." Or "He's on drugs." It was traumatizing to me. I mean, I had nothing against gays. I have a lot of gay friends. But like it or not, it was more of a sticky point then.
While he is still angry at Ortega, who he believes purposely misled and exploited him, he is philosophical about the video. "The scars aren't that deep ... It's a bad part of a good life."[2]

That is just hilarious. This has to win the trophy because he wasn't a fruitcake like these other videos that people have posted here.
This was a legitimate rock and roll act that released a video that made people embarrassed to like him. It ruined his career and made him look totally queer.
I feel bad for the guy...

In the wikipedia he acted like it was the producers fault. Didn't he know what was happening in that video shoot? WTF

Pretty much ANYTHING related to Journey sucked after that pussy Jonathan Cain joined the band. Songs....videos....whatever. Their music used to be published under the name "Weed High Nightmare Music", but their later shit looked more like "Bad Brown Acid From Woodstock Nightmare Music".

And since Schon actually played Woodstock as a member of Santana, he probably had a sheet or two of that shit in an old suitcase in a closet somewhere, and just happened to stumble across it, right when he was in the middle of doing the 834th overdub to "Faithfully" or whatever.
