The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

There were tons of 80's videos that had great songs but the production values were cheap and cheesy because I guess there just wasn't enough money to make anything fancier.


This one immediately comes to my mind,





“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

One way to save money on video production is to just put cameras in your recording studio...

Rush - Limelight (Official Music Video)...

Same with "Tom Sawyer" and "Vital Signs".


Or spend a little money to be edgy 80's-style. smile

Rush - The Big Money (Official Music Video)...

But none of them had David Lee Roth's dance/stripper moves! biggrin According to Eddie in that hour-long video on the EVH RIP thread, "Dave was in to Disco" [@35:30])...and there ain't nothing wrong with that. biggrin His post-VH solo stuff was more fun than Rock ("California Girls", "Just a Gigolo"), although Skyscraper has its moments.

To Dave's credit, he apparently didn't care so much for the change in sound that Eddie wanted with some of 1984 and told him that as a guitar god, he should lay off the keys. Eddie wrote "Jump" which the band disliked until it became their biggest and only #1 hit (getting Dennis DeYoung vibes here). I assume the same with "I'll Wait". Eddie eventually added piano to VH's sound (and he is good at it). Even a musician's taste matures, I guess.

Music fans are a fickle bunch. Depending on the group, some fans praise a group if they evolve and change their style over time (classic case: Beatles) while other groups are praised for never changing their style and staying "true" to their roots (classic case: AC/DC).
