Tried to search but couldn't see a dedicated thread about brilliant/outrageous heavy metal music videos. A few beers deep but this Venom video came on earlier and I couldn't get over how incredible it is. Send in your best/worst!!!!!

An obvious choice, but a good one 8)
Sorry, I don't know how to embed the video... Master's Hammer- 'Geniové'.
Steve Harris playing bass on a tractor and Dave Murray soloing in wellies in a river. What is not to like?

Another Headbangers Ball howler that gives Hecate Enthroned & Immortal's videography a run for its money.

The black metal equivalent of the first 5 minutes of Airplane! Always something to laugh at.
I'm surprised we've got this far without Manowar sooo...

Never listened to them before but that song is fucking cool.
I think they started as like art punk kids, but turned metal on that record. Only delved a few times as can be hit and miss. That songs a cracker though. Vocals are savage
sseeing as they were mentioned in the Now Playing thread

Joey DeMaio all excited at the YouTube numbers from Ireland this weekend
"HEY MA, DA IRISH BROTHERS IN METAL ARE SHOWING SUPPORT!"
"THAT'S GREAT JOEY, NOW YOU TAKE OUT THE TRASH AND ILL MAKE YOU SOME MEATBALLS "
I prefer this video with horse riding instead of wheels of steel and the non-pedo guitarist (the solo is possibly my favourite of all time).
Random lads jumping into shot via video edits is always a laugh
It's a weak effort and the video is suitably shite with it. Not a single square was given the finger.
The video is Joey moving back home after the return of the landlord.
Edit: link above is just the remastered version of this medieval steel video, killer 80s cheese :abbath:

That whole album is overlooked, love it.
THE GODS MADE HEAVY METAL AND THEY SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD!
THEY SAID TO PLAY IT LOUDER THAN HELL, WE PROMISED THAT WE WOULD!
That Medieval Steel one is class.

These guys are savage. I was just looking them up on metal archives and that singer is only 19 years old!
The first 40 seconds of the video makes it seem like we're going cruising the highways in David DeFeis's sweet ride, but instead we end up in his bathroom.
This is absolutely ridiculous in every possible way. Warning, it's also nearly 12 minutes of your life that you may never get back.

Daft as a brush, but very enjoyable. Reminds me of early Dimmu Borgir which is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Marty Friedman is a guest musician on the upcoming album, so it should be guitar wank heaven.
I listened to a bit of it last night and quite enjoyed it. Pure Cradle/Dimmu worship.
This is the Doom/Death Worm?.Bluenothing? Foreverglade? What a bizarre move, but kinda cool too , very authentic, like it's right from that period when we were all skulking around graveyards with a bottle of Blossom Hill, ..wow, shocked, but ...strangely intrigued.
There's a lot of adjectives I'd use but authentic isn't one of them.
Worm seem to jump from one style to another replicating a different band each time. Zero authenticity in that regard, but that song is surprisingly decent all things considered.
I actually had to double check when I saw that the released date for the album is the 13th Feb next year. I actually like it. Pretty ballsy to do a 10 minute retro styled video to promote an album.

Norman Cabrera who's done loads of horror movies and metal videos (and made the original Danzig skull belt buckle for Glenn) directed it.
The split the made with Dream Unending was the start of the Cradle/Dimmu worship. Song's pretty good.
It's Phil Tougas on guitar/Phantom of the Opera dutis there in the video. Some player.
Only really familiar with Foreverglade, which i enjoyed. I can't believe it's the same band. Can't say I'm overly fussed with that.
Maybe someone already posted this somewhere else, but worth posting again either way:

Under the "Mtv Programmes" menu, Headbangers Ball is there. It's basically just an endless 24/7 streamof videos that would have been shown on the US edition without the horror of Riki Rachtman.
Bunch of full episodes on archive.org too I think

Nice, looking forward to going through those for stuff I missed back in the day and revisiting some classics

Ha, must check out that stream to use as background radio some time! I'd be curious about the overall level of quality. Already in this "best of" collection, some of the ups and downs are fairly vertiginous, like from Pestilence into Gothic Slam :laugh:
Who died and made you god, brah?

I don't mind Rachtman as the vast majority of guests dislike him and don't really hide it😂
Vanessa Warwick is a dose though!
