Take the songs as pictures. Before videos fucked up music, you would hear something on the radio and as there was no video, each song meant something different to everyone as they all had their own mental picture of it. Now every time you hear a song, you think of the video, or you yearn for a video. Use your fucking imagination, clone. Motherfuckers are walking around with no thought - people got their vices and their escapes and shit like that, but nobody uses their imagination nowadays :( |

Hip hop videos are the worst. Check Big Pimpin by Jay-Z for example. |

depends i really dig alot of music videos but you dont really have to worry archival most of the music videos being made today are for the pop - hip hop genre but once in awhile theres a video that really works with a song chemical brothers- star guitar aphex twins - come to daddy theres loads there was some good ones back in the early 90s alternitive rock era |

I aint talking about my man Cunninghams work (he actually got skills and can make a decent video) I really liked those he made fo AFX. Yes, im talking about cunts like Hype Williams etc etc. |

There was actually some good hip hop videos back in the "goood old daysss". |
||||||||

Its like if you are blind you can still see "the video" if the song is nice.... Thats what Aphex Twins, BoCs, Squares and AEs songs are to me. They are fucking VIVID!!!!!!! - close your eyes and you can picture shit, you know? Weak ass music with weak ass videos is for the sleepwalkers, for stupid fucking conformist assholes... |

Reflex, will you check out all 4 of my tunes please? not the best ones on there yet but; http://www.mp3.com.au/Chri5py Cheers |
||||||||

|
|
I agree in a way.... kinda like how reading a book is a far more active experience than seeing the film.... The best videos I think are ones where the sound/visuals are created together...rather than being tacked on as a promo device... REFLEX: .... tell us more....couldn't work out what you were disagreeing with.... |

why does some people write aphex twinS? i think they mean it's a group, or two peoples, funny :) |

good music videos are cool to see and reflect more what the artist wanted to express in his song. i don't think it deprives you from something, many videos are only "improvements" — a good example (if you like it, of course) is marilyn manson's tourniquet video, by floria sisgimondi, which makes the idea of the song clearer but without depriving the listener from imaginating things. on the contrary, it even incitates you to imagine more, since it has ambiguous scenes (for example, when you see manson with tubes/cables into his mouth, with the marionette beside him)... the only video i regret having seen is plaid — eyen. it's the only one i know who makes the song less enjoyable... :( |

.....that Eyen video........yeah it destroyed my lovely picture..that video always pops up ;) |

I'd have to agree with you about a lot of hip hop & pop videos I suppose. Style without substance, just people dancing around and stuff is not an effective use of the medium. In these cases, the music video is used more as a promotional tool for an album or single, rather than an artistic expression. |

||||||||
|

|
|
oh god theres certain radiohead tracks i dont listen to because of seeing the video for it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

U know, your all to blame. You spend to much time watching the tube. I haven't watched MTV since i was 10, and from what i've heard its all crappy programing ever since. Maybe u should just tune out...and think for a change.....maybe read a book too |
||||||||
|

|

don't jump to conclusions; i don't have cable and i only watch 2 shows a week - x-files and family guy, and neither have been on air lately. i even stopped watching the news cos it was all bullshit terrorism coverage. i like (some) music videos cos i love music and i like great visuals, and that's my word. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i dont watch mtv anymore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't watch videos on TV — they never air music i like anyway. i (try to) download mpegs. i don't think i can be blamed for watching TV too often, i only watch it for something like 1 hour per day... (i spend too much time on my computer though) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mtv?! ha! i stopped watching that almost at least 2 years ago! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in fact i rarely watch tv in general these days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then how can everyone bitch about seeing these videos if they're not watching tv? |
||||||||

i think archrival was complaining about how music videos take away the listeners' imagination, depriving them of their own feelings and thoughts about the music. you can see something just once and your perspective of the song can be "ruined." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...like when music is used in an advert... Difficult to divorce the 2 once you've seen em together....(mentioning no nmaes. MOBY...fucker)...;) |

I listen to music strictly for the mental images. and when I say images, I mean intricate, detailed images, with specific colours, emotions, and plotlines going on. so I try not to watch videos. but this probably also means that I'll end up working with/making visual interpretations of music (i.e. videos) in the future. |
||||||||
|
|

|

theres such thing as downloading them |

Hype Williams & Paul Hunter had some pretty intresting visual Ideas BACK IN THE DAY; his style was new and fresh, but than Hype copied himself and others copied Hype, and thats why all those Hip Hop videos look all the same today. |

videos are great when done well...i think it can add to the experience...usually with my favorite songs..ill have visuals in my head which i would like to make into videos...im taking a video class next year...so well see how that turns out... i suppose you could be right about videos ruining peoples imagination...in my case they've only enhanced it...i guess if people's imaginations are ruined simply by watching too many videos...then they probably werent too imaginitve to begin with... seeing videos i liked is what pretty much got me into music... my first favorite band was radiohead...and that resulted from seeing paranoid android...that pretty much got me into music...and then i saw the video for come to daddy... i probably wouldnt have heard of these artists otherwise.. |
