    She's My Machine Video

    I've been thumbing through MTV.com, watching some old-school vids by some decent groups, and decided to check out what they had for Dave videos. I watched the classic California Girls video, then decided to check out one I might not have seen for a few years.

    I watched 'She's My Machine', and I must say, it's the most horrid thing Dave has put on film. He had a rep of being a grade-A video star with 'Panama', 'Hot For Teacher' and 'Gigolo', but that video surely wrecked his reputation amongst the MTV brass at the time. No wonder the album tanked (among other reasons) on radio and in sales.

    I usually give Dave good grades on taste, but he should have fired that director after the storyboards were finished.

          WOW! I just checked out the video for She's My Machine. That is one of my favorite DLR tunes, I love driving to that song late at night, especially after knocking some boots. Anyway that video seemed like a cross between the video game Twisted Metal, the movie Duel, and an anti drug PSA-commercial. I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

                I could never really get into that song.

                The video is extremely dull as well.... It was directed by Wayne Isham

                The same person responsible for the terrible Def Leppard videos from Adrenlize.

                  I love the song!

                  However, yes, its certainly not one of Dave's best vids.

                      Have you ever needed someone so bad

                      He also did the CAT IN THE CRADLE -Ugly kid Joe remake.... which was a snoozer to look at.

                        Premier of Dave singing that tune with his band LIVE onTV and
                        about one minute into It the TV channels All switched to OJ in the
                        White Bronko Toolin down the highway with AC. Am I remembering
                        this correctly??
