May 30th, 2012 Videos Of The Week

This week:  "Fuck sense! And live music too!"

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK #1: "Legs" by ZZ Top

As explained by friend David: "You see, back when they were making videos in the 80's, they didn't really worry about things like 'making sense'. So people would just like teleport and move shit around and do all these crazy things and it was awesome!"

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK #2" "IMDABES" by gmcfosho

This video is so deep, and every shot is so dense, it would take me an hour just to explain it to you plebs, but it's about a man paying tribute to his religious beliefs and how it can guarantee you success.

In the beginning we see a sun wearing shades signing, signifying that the artist pays tribute to a higher power, such as God, as the sun begins the song.

With "God" on his side, he is assured that he's "Da Bes" He removed the T, because the artist himself is not the best, but God is. He took of the T to show humility.

The two men sword-fighting represent simple "Good vs. evil" mythology. The kid in the Superman (a traditional "godlike" and "moral" figure)  is on the same side as the sun and has the upper hand for most of the fight. He is facing off against an opponent in a black hat, which has often been used to signify evil.

Playlist Updated

LIVE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Sharp Dressed Man" As Made Famous By ZZ Top performed by Rick K. and the All Nighters


In my experience from bands I was in that never made it to their first gig, drummers fall into two catergories:
The Phil Rudd- "I'm just here to play the basic beat. Leave me alone and tell me if we have any groupies leftover for me,"
AND
The Mike Portnoy- "Everything can use a Double Bass Pedal solo, right?"

This man is in a category all his own.

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: "Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold

Fresh off Rock Band 3, it's "Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold.

The more commonly quoted factoid is that the song was inspired several verse of Chapter 17 in the Book of Revelations, ("Seven headed beast, ten horns raised from his head" "hatred strips her and leaves her naked"), but what I didn't know was the black tar effect, of those who have had their souls taken, was from the 8th circle of hell in Dante's Inferno.
