Nicely done Brant! It was '84. That was a big year for music videos, at least in my recollection ;)

I can cook up something. Sorry for the delay - was out running errands.
My first instinct was go with some classic heavy metal from the 80's. But Brant used to be a metal DJ and he'd probably nail them.
So I went for something unexpected.

Laugh all you want, but of that band...
The lead singer, Kyle Vincent, went on to a successful but low-level career as a singer-songwriter with a lot of softer pop tunes appearing in TV shows and movies.
The bassist (Jonathan Daniel) and drummer (John Schubert) moved on to form The Electric Angels, and then The Loveless. The bassist (and main songwriter) is now in music management in New York and runs an agency that manages a LOT of bands.
The guitar player, who replaced Vincent as the lead singer when he left later went on to form Kill For Thrills before a brief stint in G'n'R and a long career touring with people like Heart and Slash's Snakepit? Gilby Clarke.
And with that... I'll exit this thread so you guys don't spend all month mad at me (https://www.grogheads.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fl.yimg.com%2Fus.yimg.com%2Fi%2Fmesg%2Femoticons7%2F103.gif&hash=c28fc43668486e54e5be8cbff3ba056e14e2d742)

Kate Bush? Running Up That Hill?
Correction: Cloudbusting.
No coffee yet today.
Cloudbusting is correct! Love Kate Bush. Her early videos were interesting. Cloudbusting was short film concept worked out by Kate Bush and Terry Gilliam. And it had Donald Sutherland playing the father role. The whole thing is based on a story in the memoirs of Wilhelm Reich's son. Pretty high-brow stuff for an 80s music video.

Here's the better trivia question - How many of Whitesnake's own songs have they remade over the years?

Apart from Tawny, my only connection to Whitesnake is that I bought the Coverdale-Page album.

Well, there's only one place that I'm aware of that has the legend of Nazis being killed and freezing while standing, and that's the Winter War between Finland and Russia. However, other than the Fire & Ice documentary put out a few years ago heavily featuring Bill Trotter, I don't know of a feature film covering the subject. I'd hit IMDB, but that's outside of the rules.

I love the title song. Remember when they played it on MTV, when MTV was really about the music, and not dumb reality programs.I confirmed the song with a quick play on youtube

(PM me a mailing address... I'll make good on it)
just out of curiosity - how'd you know who they were? They were a truly "nobody" band.
I google-fu'd MTV harp rock... I eventually ended up at wolfgangsvault.com http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/art-in-america/concerts/royal-oak-music-theatre-march-08-1983.html (http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/art-in-america/concerts/royal-oak-music-theatre-march-08-1983.html)
I isolated it down to that song reading the comment from Mark Zim.
Mark Zim | Sunday, February 22, 2009 | 1:27 pm
I love the title song. Remember when they played it on MTV, when MTV was really about the music, and not dumb reality programs.
I confirmed the song with a quick play on youtube
Nice. I was doing the same thing - 'MTV 80s harp videos' and a bunch of other variations.
I bow to your superior Google-Fu.
thanks mirth
IIRC it was on page 4 or 5 of the search results.... lots of dead ends

fine - big hard rock hit in the mid-80s. NOT an obscure band. EVERYONE knows the artist.
Folks that remember the storyline of the video will know it.
Here's a different one, completely different artist & video. NOT obscure artist; first single released from a double platinum album in the 80s.
Whitesnake?

no to either video
(note - those pics are from 2 different videos by 2 different artists)
Ok then.
#1 no idea.
#2 no idea.
Not much of a fan of hair metal.
How about a different still from each video?
well, you guys were accusing me of doing obscure stuff, so I got 2 MAJOR artists with first-single videos from muli-platinum albums right in the heart of the '80s.
and they're not hair metal bands, either :P
Well then, we're dumb, or too old to remember that far back!
Seriously, one face of a woman? Come on!
And the big haired dude looks familiar, but I can't place the face, or the Boyscout uniform.

totally not sarcastic on this one - it's *way* obscure. I'll say this, tho - he's playing bass :)
OK, to recap - video 1, here are 3 screens from it. Again, nothing wacky or obscure, but a major release from a major artist
Here's the other video - again, major release from a major artist
Clearly Ozzy in the last pic.
Crazy Train?
Ok, clearly Paul Stanley in the last pic.
