Music Video of the Day: Spiral by SOFI TUKKER (2024, dir by Aerin Moreno)
Sometimes, you’re just hanging out with your best friend Heidi Klum and a party breaks out. Sofi and Heidi reminded me of myself and my BFF, Evelyn, which I think is why I enjoyed this video.
Plus, you never know when the pizza delivery guy might turn out to be a kickass DJ!
Enjoy!
Music Video of the Day: Remember The Heroes by Sammy Hagar (1982, directed by ????)
This video, which was taken at a 1982 concert in St. Louis, is as close as we have for a music video for Remember the Heroes. Co-written by Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, this song is Sammy Hagar’s tribute to the men and women who have served this country, many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice.
There aren’t many Memorial Day rock song out there. Trust Sammy Hagar to do the day and it meaning justice.
Music Video Of The Day: Again by Alice In Chains 1996, directed by Layne Staley and George Vale)
This video features the tragic Layne Staley at his best. This would be the final music video that he would film with Alice in Chains. Again was a moderate hit for the group, though it was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Director George Vale has also worked with Our Lady Peace, The Tea Party, Danko Jones, Stars, and Broken Social Scene.

Music Video of the Day: Heading Out To The Highway by Judas Priest (1981, directed by Julien Temple)
You and me both, Priest, you and me both.
Rob Halford has said that this song is about “freedom.” Once you are on the highway, you can go anywhere you want. With it being Memorial Day weekend, a lot of people are going to be taking advantage of that freedom today.
This video was one of the man to be directed by Julien Temple. Temple will probably always be best known for his work with the Sex Pistols.

Music Video of the Day: The Other Side by Aerosmith (1990, directed by Marty Callner)
Aerosmith and music video director Marty Callner were always a good combination, as seen in today’s music video of the day.

Music Video of the Day: Me Against The World by Lizzie Borden (1987, directed by ????)
Me Against The World was the most successful single to come off of Lizzie Borden’s third studio album, Visual Lies. This was the only Lizzie Borden album to features Joe Holmes, who would later find fame as a guitarist for both Ozzy Osbourne and David Lee Roth. Holmes can also be seen in this video.
Along with this music video, Me Against The World also received attention when it was included on the soundtrack of the classic heavy metal horror film, Black Roses.

Music Video of the Day: Bourbon County Line by Warrant (2006, directed by ????)
Bourbon County Line was the first single released off of Warrant’s seventh solo album, Born Again. The band shot videos for every track on the album, though only Bourbon County Line and Dirty Jack were officially released as singles.
This was also the first Warrant single to not feature Jani Lane on lead vocals. Lane left the band in 2004 (though he later returned) and vocals were handled by Jaime St. James.

Music Video of the Day: Twilight Hotel by Quiet Riot (1986, directed by Dominic Orlando)
Twilight Hotel was the second single to be released off of QRIII, the fifth studio album from Quiet Riot. Unfortunately, neither the single nor the video was as popular as the other single released off of QRIII, The Wild and the Young.
Director Dominic Orlando also directed videos for Kansas, The Beach Boys, Celine Dion, Dolly Parton, The Fat Boys, and several other artist that you would not necessarily expect to see at a Quiet Riot concert.

Music Video of the Day: Brainwashed by Nuclear Assault (1988, directed by ????)
Nuclear Assault is today best remembered for being the band that was formed by one of the founding members of Anthrax, bassist Dan Lilker. (Linker left Anthrax shortly before the release of the band’s first album.) Back in the day, though, Nuclear Assault was one of the top East Coast thrash metal bands.
Brainwashed was the first single to be released from their second album, Survive. The single was Nuclear Assault’s first big hit. Helping the song become popular was a music video that featured two of the top pastimes of the 80s, going to the mall and watch TV.
