What's the Worst Music Video You Have Ever Seen?

[78/84 guy]

I hate to bring this back from the dead, but I just went on youtube and looked up Rock Me Tonight - By Billy Squier.
It's as bad as I remembered.
I think this one wins, because it ruined his career. There isn't a video that damaged a career like this one. After this, his career was night and day...

Forgot about that one. He was on a roll then this killed him. I think he played in Ringo's last all star band.

He was headlining with the Scorpions opening for him on his tour. He was considered rock n roll... until that video came out!

[ThrillsNSpills]

I'm pretty sure Billy Squier was trying to compete with Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the oldies in that clip.


If he was one of Santa's reindeer he'd be Prancer.

That Bronski Beat song where the homo singer is watching his boyfriend
swim in the public pool in his speedo. I could take on the chinese army with
a BB gun that sickens me so much.

Goddam that was horrible... I watched it without the lyrics and it's even gayer than with.... WHAT THE FUCK was he thinking?!?!? What about his management team and the label?!?! You can't let a guy put THAT VIDEO out!

I need to vomit now.

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...

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.

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.....

[Platinum Pete]

Gotta go with the Billy Squier video. That was an "ill-advised" career choice, to say the least.

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
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
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...

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

I laughed so hard I spat apple all over the place. The backing dancers are priceless!!

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

What about "The Deeper The Love" ugh

After watching She's My Machine a few weeks ago... that was pretty terrible... video-wise.

And if you're into seeing a bloated Mike Reno who looks like he's about to pop like a blood blister....

OK....first off....the emoticons you added for certain lines made me throw up a little in my mouth. Fucking hilarious, yet horrifying and disturbing at the same time.

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.
