Hey, I couldn't find a thread dedicated to WAM in music videos, so I'm starting one. Please reply with some of your favorites! Or let me know if a similar thread exists
A few I don't think I've ever seen mentioned on here:
1. Priests - Male/female food fight near the end 2. Tropical Fuckstorm - Weird backwards messy eating and red wine in the face. Might do it for someone 3. Bruce Dickinson - Girl belly flops in "mud"
There was two I remember from the 2000's one was a Japanese band that had three members that had paint buckets splashed in their faces. The other was a woman led group with black hair who they all got splattered with paint the entire time. I'll have to look to see if I still have the videos to share. One other was a pie fight in a video from the short lived J-Pop band the Do-Nuts. The video to my knowledge never showed up online just a sizzle reel.

I guess it's had 67 million views and it only takes one person to think it's unsuitable for kids and flag it, possibly for something as wussy as it showing people drinking beer and having lyrics about smoking and porno mags.
Watching that Beastie Boys video reminds me of just how much planning and dedication you used to need to get hold of WAM material. When my parents were out I used to sit in front of the TV with a video cassette in the player, just hoping for something I found vaguely arousing to come on so I could record it. Kerrang TV having that video on rotation for a while was a godsend!
I really don't want to think about how many times that poor girl at 3:00 has suffered at my hands! I used to know exactly when to press pause so that my video stopped on her clean face, then move it on frame by frame to see her get hit with the pie. Such obsession over literally a second of footage. It's crazy when I think about it!
And I'm not even that old! I'm talking about VCR and satellite TV here. What was it like for Wammers before that?
Just oil, no water said: Does anyone rember a clip with a female singer caged in a huge glass cube which is slowly filled with water? Might be a 90's one
Love you, too
