Why Wasn't There A Video For "I'll Wait" ?

[DLR_EngineRoom]

Anyone know the facts?

[DLR7884]

Probably because they had already done 2 videos for that album.

Videos were new then, and weren't cheap.

...And that song had way too many keyboards in it anyways. Now Drop Dead Legs - That could've been a great video!

A) Jump cost less than $800 U$D to create.
B) Panama wasn't too expensive either, was only editing costs.
C) H4T was the most expensive of the 3.


Does anyone have the FACTS regarding why "I'LL WAIT" didn't have a video? It's listed as a hit release from '1984', but yet no video. Were they already split up by then?

FACTS anyone?

[DLR7884]

Where did you get the info that Jump was only $800 to create?



DLR7884
Can't wait to hear this one....

What did I say that wasn't a fucking FACT, asshole?

Maybe they didn't want to do 4 videos, out of 8 non-instrumental songs on the album.

If you don't like people's answers, don't ask fucking stupid questions.

Holy s**t....anger management anyone? f*** have a midol, man...re-f***in-lax!

your answer sounded like an opinion, that's all.....shit calm down!

Jump cost less than $800 U$D, read that in a few VH Biographies...I think even Dave said so in his book.

To be honest with you, I lost my interest in chattin' w/you....see an anger management shrink or sumpin'.....I wasn't tryin to aggravate you, just a misunderstanding that you had to turn the volume up on....

[DLR7884]

They shot, edited, mixed the sound, and paid the crew for the "Jump" video for less than $800?

Still doesn't make sense, and you can fuck yourself.

I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the reason a video was never made for "I'll Wait" is because at first they didn't think it was necessary, and then when it got popular it was too late. I'll Wait was released as a single shortly after the album was released and didn't do too well. So they stopped selling it and Jump/Panama/HFT singles were released in that order, each doing pretty well and having its own video. Then, they re-released the I'll Wait single towards the end of the year (probably just to get rid of the copies made for the first release), and it did a lot better than it initially had. I'm sure if it had done as well on the initial release, they would have made a video, but by the time the single was successful, the album had been out for almost a year.

Thought we were friends...?

seein' that neither of us are Hagaritas...you're angry even after I confirm that it was a misunderstanding??

Ain't no way 'Jump' cost $800.00 USD to produce. No way.

yes sir, they keep up the story that it only took 800$ or 900$ to make the whole thing but it's not true...

I read an interview with some video producer who said that it wasn't filmed with a cheap 8mm camera and it was much more expencive than 800$...
